good luck for the gig, you could always put your hat on the floor in front of you maybe you'd make a couple of extra bucks? (it's a big hat)
seriously though, i'd love to see the gig. are you filming it, perchance? then putting it up on the web?

the john and paul story actually goes that john was impressed that paul could play "20 flight rock" knowing all the words. john also had been taught by his mother who only showed him banjo chords, so they learnt a lot together which probably brought them together as friends (include george in that too) pauls father was a jazz pianist, so he had a head start there too! FYI his first instrument was a trumpet...GO FIGURE?

hi vic.

so first off, i do play every week in front of a crowd in pubs clubs etc, back home where it rains a lot!.

the owner obviously liked what you were doing and he probably had regulars coming in saying how good you were....so easy peasy lemonade, go for it, play what you know, if it dont work he'll sack you so why worry?

i've been to spain a lot, benidorm mainly, and the acts there are not as impressive as i was led to believe. i wish i had the guts to chuck everything in and move out there...so good luck, we are always here to help in any way we can...just ask

thanks russ i'm glad i followed the link. marvellous what you can do with a PC and some software and of course a great imagination for a song. i've never seen mr rogers before, must be a US thing?

as a rule (from what I remember) the larger PA should have a slave out, connect this to your Carvin mic in or slave in (if you've got one) then just balance the volume. If there's an independent mixer, use one of the out-puts....trial and error, just keep the volumes down at first and increase slowly.

I played it the really cheat way. Bent the index finger to play a normal A, playing all 3 strings, then an almost full barre A leaving the top and bottom E strings open, then placed my ring finger (or pinky) on the C#. It sounded nice playing a full C#minor chord, but since I don't know what song it's for I may be out of context.

hi tel,

yep george is and was very underrated, in fact the whole "brainwashed" album is well worth a listen as i do on a regular basis.

as for your own songs, that is what this site is for. what we like is for people to post their original words and chords on the songwriting forum, then we can have a read and try to play the songs then give an encouraging comment.

as a member you have the freedom of the site and forums, so please join in, ask questions, give advice...etc
see you soon?

hi tel.

i had a listen and enjoyed your track and found the site itself so interesting that i joined too. so thanks for the guiding hand.

i didnt recognise the song so is it your own work or a cover?

anyway, nice recording and hope to hear more from you

phill

lucky you

every new beatles album that came out was my favourite till the next one. abbey road has to be my no1. i never liked let it be. i thought it was because they were in the process of splitting up and the bad vibes came over. then i bought the remixed version thinking that would make it better. but all it did was make my hackles rise for what they did to the best song on the album which was across the universe. so i've only ever played it once...what a waste of £10!

my favourite song must be......nope cant chose just one, sorry. luv em all

hi tho2,

welcome to chordie. there are not many rules but we do expect you to abide by them. one of the biggest rules is not to use someone else's thread to ask your own questions, as you have done here and on another forum. most of us do this when we first join and get put in the right direction.

so...what you should do;

1st, decide what your question is about
2nd, decide which forum best suits your question
3rd, as we are all a very friendly bunch check for replies.

NB. when you go to the correct forum at the top right hand side you'll find "POST NEW TOPIC" click there and you can put your question to the members.

your main question seems to be how to record your band? this should go to the "recording forum."

hope this helps

thanks for that roger, a punishment that maybe should be brought back for so called brits who after being born here run off to join the taliban and other terrorist groups and kill/murder their countrymen. then expect to return to this country to claim unemployment benefits, NHS treatments etc. sorry, rant over
