Re: Whole lot of lonely heart - Country Blues ( if that makes any sense):) (5 replies, posted in Songwriting)
I made a change in the chords to make the song much more country. Just a sad ol' cowboy song about a man losing his wife of many years. (Couple of small lyric changes as well. (Sorry about making it blues at first. ) I'm not a good singer so can't really put it out there.

Re: Could use some prayers / positive vibes (41 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
First - my prayers go out to your brother in law and your family
I am no doctor - but many years ago a man I worked with had a son that was very close to death - similar symptoms I believe.... baffled the heck out of their Dr.s in Philadelphia as well, a nurse was talking to the sibling one day during a visit to the hospital and the sibling told the nurse about their new parrot. The Dr. in the room heard the conversation and immediately said you have a new parrot - - found out the parrot had some weird tropical parasite that had transmitted to the sick boy... they then took appropriate action - saved his life. I'm not saying this is what I think - but consider anything that he came into contact with prior to sickness.
Best wishes to a recovery.

That is sweet !
This is a guitar I made out of wood scraps in my shop. I didn't really know what I was doing having never made a guitar before - but it came out pretty good. The fret height was toughest for me. Plays fair - would be fine if I filed frets more even.
It was fun to learn about how the electrics are wired and how the guitar works though. There's a lot of stuff that I had no idea about.
Anyway... can't wait to see your completed strat re-do.

Re: SPECIAL LOVE (15 replies, posted in Songwriting)
My daughter and I sang this as a duet ( well she sang and I tried to sing ) alternating lines in some of the verses. She thought it would be a great song for a wedding, it did sound pretty cool doing it that way, except for my voice of course). I wish I could sing so you could hear it .

I like like it a lot , even though " besotted" is $50 word that I had to look up. I guess I would be stuck with obsessed or infatuated with if I was writing it - but now i am a bit smarter thanks to you
Can't wait to hear it.
The verse
"And I can say with utmost certainty.
She will make you want her constantly. " reminds of the guitar you wanted for so long - and then when you got it in you hands the feeling wasn't there.
Good work my friend

Thanks Phill,
I agree with what Dave pointed out as well - same perspective I have with my wife. :0 )
The Bm is really hard for me to play, but ibecause it sounded right - I couldn't avoid it.
There are so many talented musicians on Chordie - and everyone is so positive --- whoever came up with this idea should be commended ! The camaraderie among the members is amazing !

Re: White Sand (27 replies, posted in Songwriting)
Amy,
After listening to it - I was so impressed. You have a GREAT VOICE ! It took me a couple of " listens" to figure out that you put the word cruise in ( rhymes with Blues) - I could picture you going through the night writing this --- it has that once in a lifetime sound - I'm sure you didn't want to let it go and try to re-create it in the morning ! It is just excellent!
It has such an "Island flow" and the way you bring the lyrics to life - it makes me want to go to my favorite spot on Earth right now - the beach ! ( Topsail, NC is my heartland of beaches) I think I am closer now to how you play it - but you are so much better. You are truly blessed with vocal and instrumental talent.
Jim
