Re: Minor man (with chords) (10 replies, posted in Songwriting)
I have been working on the song that I posted last week - re arranged the lyrics and added (at least what I think is ) a pretty cool intro to the song. I wish I could sing ( i am really bad) ... but I just love how the music fits. I am hoping that some of you good guitarists with nice voices can appreciate it. I am just a beginner at guitar but have always been a songwriter since my college days. I love the irony of this song b/c the chords are flavored with minors and it is about the " minor man" . Hope you like it. If you have any suggestions to improve it - i am always open to them. Loving learning how to play and love this chordie.com - it is the best !
Thanks to Mekidsmom and Arkady for their assistance in getting me to post this the right way!
( and I do hope I have it right this time!)

Hey Everybody - JK Here (Jim) I am a teacher in Upstate New York near Cooperstown. I have been teching myself guitar - theanks to all the wonderful freeby lessons on the net...and after a couple of years I'm actually starting to get it. I am enjoying playing songs and even a little writing. Playing guitar is my "getaway". I just try each day to learn something different and play everything else over again. (It used to be quick - now it takes a lot longer) NIce to be part of this family - Kudos to Ken for sending me this link !
