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

Hi Jeff,
Great song and what a wonderful way to answer Saba's query. I would agree with you that there is more than one type of love and your song addresses the question superbly.
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
Hi Oldnewbie,
Like Arkady I found strumming suited your song better, pressing then partially lifting my fingers off the fretboard to deaden the sound seemed to me to give it the right edge for this dramatic and harrowing song. Well done.
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
It is very possible that it is local advertising which is why Ken, Ray and myself have not seen them. I am in Portugal and I get Portuguese advertising to the right of my screen. I believe that Jim along with Russell are from the States and this is their local advertising.
How to stop it I do not know, I guess this is one for Per to answer.
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
Most of you know that I am a sucker for the slow songs, the romantic ones, the sad ones, so by way of a change I wrote this song. And look only 4 chords too.
I apologise for the rubbish lead guitar instrumental in advance as I know many of you could have done far better (but we all have to learn )

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
Hi marcalan,
Just gave your song a whirl. F#sus4#5?? I am afraid I just used Bm but it sounded OK to me. Good lyrics and chord progression, well done.
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
I would beg to differ. I have a Fender electro/acoustic with a cutaway and before I bought it I sampled many guitars with and without a cutaway. Unplugged the Fender had as much volume as any of them, more than a lot of them and a better tone (to my ears) which was why I bought it.
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
Great James,
This recording lark is becoming second nature to you now. You will soon have to open a second MySpace to be able to keep them on for a while
Roger
I got my first guitar at age 15, which was 35 years ago. Does that make me an old-timer too?
I am 10 years older than you and I certainly am not an 'old-timer' yet. You are still a kid.:lol:
Roger
Apart from the ones written by James McCormick, Jeff Gilpin, Helena Donovan and the other Chordie songwriters (including myself, of course) it has got to be:
BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY by QUEEN
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
Hi Les,
I am so pleased to hear that you are getting back to normal.
Best wishes,
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
But I am sure will travel back with a big smile on her face and her heart racing, impatient to get home to be able to thank you properly. Having candles lit for when she arrives home might be an good idea.
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.

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
Hi Jeff,
A lovely Valentine song, it plays very well, thank you.
Roger
Hi evsynator,
If you wish, you could edit the song to add the missing chords (in the original key) and save it. It is easy then to transpose to your key and print. The big advantage is that it will be there for anyone else to use and have a note at the bottom saying that you had improved the song.
Take care,
Roger
