Phill,

If you look at the original posting from IBE and Arkady's first reply, you will see that Ark, like I, have read the tabs as chords Em, Am, Fmaj7 and C. Read as chords I think you will see it makes sense although I am a bit unsure of the rhythm, 3 fast beats and 2 slow ones, it will be interesting to see how that pans out in a full song.

Please do not go crazy on us, we are only just getting to know you

Roger

Thank you daddycool, Helena, Phill, Oldnewbie and Ark,

Phill, I think I would have to pronounce 'baby' differently to try to sound like the late, great Adam Faith, mind you since you have brought him up, I reckon this song would have suited him just fine. I enjoyed his performances as a singer and later as an actor, he was brilliant in 'Love Hurts' with Zoe Wanamaker, and met him in a restaurant once.

My musician friend Howard says I sound like Jon Anderson but I do not think I sound like either I think I just sound like me

Roger

I have never had a problem dropping the picks I use on my acoustic. I have five, called a thumb and  four fingers, they have a soft side and a hard side, that can be used individually or together and I can created many different sound with them. Well worth investing in!!

Roger

I totally agree with Ken. If you think about this logically making 100 CDs and giving them out is presenting the work to very few people. There are many people like me that have cover versions on YouTube which, theoretically is available to millions. If anyone is going to hounded it will be the users of YouTube (and similar) and these sites would be closed down.

Also with YouTube many of the known artists videos on there are direct copies from their CD or TV put up by fans, now that, I am sure, is a violation of copyright, and what gets done about it - NOTHING.

I am quite happy to leave my cover versions on YouTube and hand out my CDs, I think you have nothing to worry about.

Roger

Ken I will look forward to recieving it. A 4 track recording device can save a lot of time and make a lot big to the finished song. Have fun.

Roger

Ken, when I built my computer I put a Creative F-Xi sound card in it, not the cheapest but it gave me plenty of connections at the front of my PC with superb software, and I record everything through it.

Surely there is software with yourPXR4? If not try looking at: http://www.korg.com/gear/info.asp?A_PROD_NO=PXR4 there may be software for recording there.

Roger

Hi Ken,

I have just looked at the Korg spec for the PXR4 and it can play back 4 channels simultaneously so you can record it to your PC in one go, no doubt controlling the balance of each track as you do. It is very different from my Tascam tape unit so I am afraid I cannot help with specifics on the procedure but I hope someone else can.

Roger

I am 10 years older than you and I certainly am not an 'old-timer' yet. You are still a kid.:lol:

Roger

Thanks evsynator,

I have waved my magic wand and moved it for coolfred.

Hi coolfred,

Welcome to Chordie, unfortunately I am unable to help you with this request but I hope someone can.

Roger

Unexpected, out of the blue, praise is the best sort. I bet you were walking on clouds for the rest of the day.

Roger

Hi evsynator,

Yes you can do it on Chordie. The safest was is to transfer the song to your Songbook and do the editing there as you can take your time and save halfway through if you wish. When you are happy that it is right highlight and copy it, go to the bottom of the page of the original song and click on 'Correct song' you can paste your corrected version and delete the wrong one.

Roger

Thanks Helena,

You are right of course, I am, I admit it.

Rhiannon I am glad you like what I have done with your song. Now all that remains is for me to remove the stilettos and lippy and for you to record it for FoC, it is really a ladies song after all.

Roger
