Great song James,
I have to agree with Phill that grandkids are fantastic, unfortunately, having moved to Portugal I do not see mine very often but they are constantly in my thoughts.
Daddycool seems to want to keep you out of mischief by resurrecting songs for you to record so you will no longer be needing the blue pills. Do you have my address? ![]()

Hi Marcalan,
I would guess that the lyrics are Helena's and the music yours, but I may be wrong. Whoever did what it is a great song and your collaboration has worked very well.
Your MySpace and Foc are testament to the fact that you have now got to grips with your recording equipment too.
Well done to both of you and thank you.
Roger
Hi Kenny,
Great song and I agree with Phill that to me it seems finished, but you're the boss.
The lines " His Momma asked him not to go." and "But a cold wind seemed to blow." where it changes to the F C chords could well be the chorus, in fact as I played it I thought that it was your intention. I will give it another run through later. Thank you.
Roger
Hi William,
I played this before reading your note at the bottom and played all the first verse in A wondering what the intended melody line should really be. Guess I should have read before picking up the guitar
. Much easier using the proper chords. Nice song, thank you.
Roger
Hi William,
Another good one from you it flows and plays well, thank you,
Roger
Hi Jeff,
Well I think that is the first time I have seen the tabs of an instrumental included for a song in this section, well done.
Lovely song for your daughter, I thought it played very well (although I was a bit messy with the instrumental - I need more practise) and the lyrics are beautiful. I hope you are going to record it for her then we might get a chance to hear it too.

Hi Helena,
If you can hear the other songs on FoC and Marcalan's MySpace but not "5000 Miles" then that is very, very weird, strikes of the supernatural to me. Maybe we need to call in Paranormal Guitar ![]()
Seriously it is very odd and I have no idea, you need someone with more computer savvy than I to sort that one. Sorry I cannot help.

"Some People" a 60's film with some great songs and the lovely Angela Douglas. The music was provided by Valorie Mountain and the Eagles (not THE Eagles sadly).

Hi Rebel,
There are several versions of this song so I tried printing the Jimmy Page version :
http://www.chordie.com/chord.pere/www.u … ;id=112700 but as there are only 2 pages I guess I may have picked the wrong version. I do not normally use tabs and I surprised to see that there was no 'print' button on the song, but that may be normal. I used my browser print button and I did a 'copy and paste' and printed from Wordpad, both of which worked perfectly OK.
If you let me know which version you are looking at I will try and see what happens.
Roger
I am 61 but still think I am 16, looking for a 19 year old, 6ft tall, blonde girlfriend
.
Been playing the guitar on and off for 50 years and still learning.

These chords are 100% accurate I am pleased to say as this song has 3 different verse variations. I too think that this is a great song and I am learning it too.
Roger
Phill,
So nearly there the formatting 'switch on' song in square brackets was missing from the beginning and the 'switch off' /song had curly brackets instead of square brackets.
Roger
Zurf a four string Bm chord is easier played xx4432. Full barre is 224432 (Am moved up two frets)
Roger
Now this is a little naughty of me but I have to do it.
I asked William to tell us a little about himself and he replied by private e-mail but I do not have his permission to use it so if he shouts at me I will remove it.
I am even more amazed at the quality of his songs after I read this. What do you think?
No i don`t play the guitar at all i just got the chords from a book and with
trial and error and a lot of frustration i finally managed to get the right
chords.i play drums in a little band back home but mostly i just sing. i`m 40,
6`3 ,14st and live in derry city in the north of ireland on the border with
donegal.likes..football man utd fan, country music, meeting people and writing a
song or two.thankfully i`ve met a lot of the people i`ve always wanted to
meet,ricky skaggs,gene watson, garth brooks and reba mcentire. Been very lucky
to have been in the right job or right place.Been a coach driver and took the
Barcelona team on tour here when they where in ireland. Actually got to sit in
the dug-out with them during matches and be in the dressing room at
half-time.Anything you want to know just ask.thanx for the feedback and keep in
touch.
Hope you don't mind William,
Roger
Great recording as always James,
Thank you,
Roger
Thanks Daddycool.
Phill that is my problem - always too late.
Thanks Ark, after a few mini adventure T.T. (my cat) and I are settled in the Algarve again. The main problem with the traffic noise is if emergency sirens go off, I can cope with general traffic noise.
Roger
YES this form of "F" is movable up and down the fretboard. Try the "finger roll mentioned above to get from C to F then hold that position and slide everything down 2 frets to G. And practice, practice, practice. Once you have the "F" chord mastered and are proud of yourself you can look forward to the MEAN and NASTY "B" chord!
Nela
Nela F to G is normally considered going up the keyboard and not down, but that is not the reason for this message. Take the F shape up to the 7th fret and you have the dreaded B.
Roger
Tim, the chord you were playing was in fact Fmaj7 so it is very close although somewhat darker than F but if it helps and works then it is a good idea.
Roger
Hi Kenny,
Go to: http://www.usersmanualguide.com
Look and click for Yamaha keyboard and then look down the list for your PSR2000 manual and you should be able to download it.
Sorry about the convoluted way of getting you there but the url for the actual manual does not seem to work.
I hope that helps.
Roger
Hello Meaghan or maybe I should call you heartbreaker (Colin AND Brad?) ![]()
Welcome to Chordie.
If you go to the bottom of the song you will see the message 'Please Improve This Song'. if you click on there it will take you into the editing mode. Please make sure that you have it all OK before you do. It is often better to transfer it your songbook first so you can take your time getting it correct and then copy and paste to the original.
Roger
Hi Learnguitar and welcome to Chordie,
The question you ask is impossible to answer without knowing the particular song you are trying to play as chord can be played for a very short time or for several bars. I answered a similar question about learing to to play a song in another thread in this way:
When you are learning to play the guitar it is important that you start by only playing songs that you know really well and preferably with few chords in it. (In the 50's and 60's there were many songs with just three or four chords but there are fewer, I think, today).
Start by just stumming the chord on a down stroke and at one beat per bar. Sing along with the song to get familiar with the changes. Then when you are happy with the changes, put down your guitar. Listen to a recording of the song or play in in your mind and at the same time tap your right hand on your thigh in time to the music, not just a steady beat but vary it to go along with the song. Then pick up your guitar and convert that rhythm that you just tapped out into a strumming pattern.
OK I know it is easier said than done but I hope that helps.
Roger
Hi William,
Another good song from you which I finger picked and it sounded good to me. As with the others I liked the lyrics too.
Now we have had two songs from you but nothing else so please let us know a little about yourself. Do you play guitar and/or another instrument? Have you been playing long? Do you intend to record your songs for us to hear?
I, for one, am a naturally nosey person and I like to get to know fellow musicians.
Thank you,
Roger
