Hi Korky,

I have just had a listen on MySpace. Apart from the fade out at the end (which is something that I hate but that is my personal pet hate about song endings) it is a great recording and I shall now keep an eye on there for more.

Thank you and well done to you all,

Roger

Hi Daddycool,

I hope you do not mind I took the liberty to add the [/song] at the end of your song to complete the special formatting. I also changed the chords to upper case to show the chord diagrams.

Nice love song, well done.

Roger

Now you know why I chose and stick to that signature

Hi jkohney,

The first thing to remember is that a recording will never sound how you think you sound. You hear your own voice internally more than externally through your ears and everyone is surprised the first time they hear a recording of themselves.

Maybe it is not as bad as you first thought, try recording a couple of easy songs that you know real well and see if you are in key with them. It will also help you get used to you 'recorded voice'. Perhaps, at the end of the day, a few voice coaching lessons may be necessary, I wish you luck.

Hi CGT,

Welcome to Chordie. My answer to you question would be virtually the same as my answer to Mike. Sing in your mind and play, but in this case listen carefully with your ears to your guitar and experiment with different strumming until you find what sounds good to you. I do not advocate trying to copy 'parrot fashion' any artist but to put your own stamp on a song and make it your own.

Hi Liam,

Mike shyness is normal and natural, even with only you in the room, but it gets easier the more you do it. Remember no one is expecting a Liam Gallagher performance but it is great to hear the intended melody of a song, you can only do your best and that is all anyone expects.

Roger

Sorry Alex,

I will plead old age and insanity for that one.

Roger

Hi Daddycool,

Nice little train song.

I have just visited your new website and had a listen to the songs you have there, good one my friend, I am so pleased you have now got them posted. I hope this one will be there soon.

Roger

Hi Badeye,

Nice moody song, well done. When are we likely to hear a recording of this one please?

Roger

Hi Vinnie,

Welcome to Chordie.

As 'the doc' has pointed out Chordie is a 'search engine' and locates songs that are already on the Internet. Please read my 'sticky' on the About Chordie section and Resources FAQ for more info.

I disagree with Zurf and Geoaguiar. To my ear light and ultra light strings on an acoustic sound awful (I feel that these strings were developed to be bent on electric guitars). Medium and heavy, although harder to play with give the full rich sound expected with an acoustic.

As to them being too loud and drowning out the singing I have never had that problem. I normally play with my fingers as you can get so much variation of sound by using nail, skin, one or several fingers, strumming or picking which you cannot get with a plectrum.

Hi there,

You need to go into your Profile and then Personality. Then set up an Avatar (that is what the little picture are called) but be careful as they can only be a maximum of 10K or 60x60 pixels.
