From someone who is 15 and a few months (well 552 of them actually) I have to agree with NELA's comments.

So for you youngsters there is no need to post your e-mail address on the forum. Anyone wishing to contact you can do so through Chordie by clicking on the E-mail tag under your username without you having to make it public. This way your privacy is kept intact and you know who is contacting you without having to reveal your address.

Hi Bryan,

A very good song for your first Chordie offering and even better for having a recording of it so we can hear the melody and how you intend it to be. Mind you the photo you sent to accompany it did not look much like the devil, perhaps he is in disguise

I hope there will be more songs to follow.

Thank you and well done.

Roger

Hi Daddycool,

Being and on and off smoker and done 'cold turkey' more times that I care to remember I can relate to this one. Well done.

By the way you need to inlude the word 'song [in square brackets]' at the start of the main body of the message and not in the 'Subject' for the formatting to work.

Hi James,

A great song and a fine recording. It inspired me to 'Google' my name and I found a couple of items of interest:

Her affair with Roger Guppy sets the town on its ear, and dismays smitten Gary whose erotic daydreams of Kate are dealt a severe blow. It's the Guppy family ...

The Guppy surname seems to have originated in Dorset and Somerset, England, ... both of them on the voyage; whilst Roger Guppy was excecuted at Bridgewater ...

I think I prefer the first reference to the second

Roger

Hi Alex,

Nice song and a good recording, keep them coming. Thank you,

Roger

Hi Jeff,

Another good one from you. I played fairly upbeat on my 12er and particularly like introduction of the F#m at the end.

Roger

A couple of thoughts about your problem Lieven.

It appears that BOSS automatically saves your music as a .bro file but is there an option to save as .mp3?

If not surely there is software available to to convert from .bro to .mp3.

On impulse I have just looked at the Roland web site and I see that there is a download for a Wave Converter. This will convert convert your file to a .wav and it is easy to then convert to .mp3. There is also a help file that explains how to do it.

Roger

Hi Buddy,

I would guess that is a B as some European countries use H insted of B. I would suggest you try it in the song and you will soon see if it sounds right.

Roger

Hi Mike,

Welcome to Chordie and I am sorry you are experiencing some problems. This looks to be one for Per, Chordie's founder, to sort out but he is unlikely to be able to do so without knowing where to look. Please post the address from the top of the page where you are finding this problem so he can see what you are seeing.

I agree with Southpaw, grahamhawkins and jaygorden up to a point as I prefer to see/hear buskers without backing, but what works depends entirely upon your audience.

Here in Portugal the buskers who attract the big crowds (and cash) are the ones with backing tracks. Although they sing and play live, additional instruments and sometimes voices are recorded. The lone singer with his guitar and possibly an amp with no backing rarely gets a look in I'm afraid and is now rarely seen.

So my suggestion would be to see what the successful buskers are doing at the venue you intend to play at and follow their lead.

Roger

Hi GSE,

Nice lyric and good chord sequence although I did make some of the chord changes in slightly different place to the ones you posted but I enjoyed playing it. I think that you should have posted the other verse also as it is a little short as it stands.

Thank you and well done,

Roger
