Mine is my little Martin custom x   Acoustic electric, although I usually use my Alvarez RD-20SC to write most of my songs.

I am saving my money now - I saw in the news from NAMM that epiphone is coming out with a Gary Clark,Jr casino blu hollowbody this spring I am just hoping its not out of the $$$$ possibility for me.

Thanks for the tune. I look forward to a listen.

Thank you all for your kind words of support.  This is a link to soundcloud where you can hear my song.  I apologize for the singing and playing, I'm not very good. I do think the lyrics are very full of emotion however. It's funny- in my mind, when I play it and just sing inside my head, it sounds so beautiful, I can see the story unfold right in front of me but when I actually sing it, it well.... it loses some of it's abilities to move me... you'll hear smile

If any Chordians with a good voice want to cover and inject their own slant or interpretation, please have a go at it and send me a copy ! 

Thanks again !
Jim

Congrats !

I am going to look at   a Jay Turser Hollowbody today  JT 136      I am getting it for $110 through a private sale - guy says he has too many guitars ( go figure!) smile   I am hoping it is as in good shape  as the seller has said - if so I think its a good deal .   

Any chordians play this and know it ?

I also agree  with Beamer about the strats with the ashtray look. I was going to buy one until i ran into that look and said nope !
Any way - very nice guitar - happy New Year

Merry Christmas

Here it is - I chordified for you.  No need to send any $$$ we Chordians stick together. Best wishes in making someone feel better in a time of need.

I'm looking at getting a hollow body guitar.  I played a Ibanez at Guitar center - it sounded great - but then online it said it never stays in tune.   Epiphone played nice as well.  Does anybody have any suggestions.  Looking in $ 600 range

Baha ....:)   smile  smile   I was just reading all the posts about chordiestock 2015...... sounds like the first two were a blast !
I can kind of picture this in my mind - reminds me of the post I put out about  my song The Sun Is Burning Out, that had the video of all those singers sitting around the kitchen table jamming - but some how on a bigger scale.

How many have attended in the past ?

Where is  # 3 being held ?

Anybody got a couple of pictures from past highlights?

It seems like it's truly a music family global event .

I like it a lot !
Can you post the lyrics ?

Jim

I took the soundcloud link of me playing and (almost) singing off the original post as I want to re-do the music using the chords as shown now.  It makes a world of difference and makes the song sooo much better.  I'll get it done this weekend and re -post the song with lyric and chord changes.  I'm just a rookie - lesson learned - don't post stuff until you get it right , and it takes a lot of work to get it right !!!!!! smile   All you "chordians - have a great week end !  Live like the Sun IS Burning Out !!!!

Nice work man ! 

You mentioned www.guitarfettish.com  - I went there -- some of their guitars look great, and like all sellers - the descriptions sound great as well. .  I was especially looking at the hollowbody guitars.   Do you have any experience or knowledge regarding the quality of the Xaviere guitars they sell ?
Jim

Thank you .  I tweaked it a bit today ( had some time because of winter storm) - nothing major - couple of lyric touch ups and switched chords to Em, B7, and A- easier for me to play and I think sounds a lot better..
I am still in awe of those old time guys how they used to collaborate over a table with some drink, smoke, guitars  and friends. So cool.
