i love the B chord, minors majors 7th's augmented's the whole catalogue. i love them so much that i try and put them into every song i write, and even into the songs i didnt...LOL

COME ON GUYS B IS JUST AN A WITH A BARRE. no different to Dbmaj or minor. if you have difficulty playing with a barre, just play the bottom 4 strings using all your fingers; index to F#, middle to D, ring to B, pinky to Gb. how much easier could it B?

zurf....respect, that's totally awsome, and no i dont think the two words you were referring to could cause anyone offense. the sound is excellent and the addition of the words in the video window was inspired.

ps, also very topical, are you gonna go surfin`? yon hurricane's a-commin'

hey buzz

mandatory yank there at the end?

i like to buy compilation cd's theses days, though some of the newer stuff dont quite get the head rockin.

my son got me biffy clyro for christmas which i enjoyed, sort of metal with nice clear vocals, something that puts me off bands like ac/dc is toneless vocals, though they are better than that toneless/tuneless morrisy....poop

southrnrockr, i think that's the idea, everyone has their own opinion, i have mine you have yours, so we would like to know what your favorites are?

i agree with bswyers, with the addition of; yours is no disgrace (live version from house of yes) by yes. and locamotive breath, jethro tull. the order matters not, these songs are never far from my cd player.

hi jamier, i wasnt knocking your reply i was just commenting on how good and deep it was. it's up to knox 87 to say if your near to the mark or not, having read it again it could allude to abortion, miscarriage or even adoption. well mr knox, are you going to enlighten us?

funny you should mention that!

i played in a band once that recorded in a garden shed and a small caravan. the drummer and me (rhythm guitar) in the shed. lead and bass in the caravan, direct inject, obviously! you may think "hah, small time" but the owner played us Bonnie Tylers demo of "Lost in France", which he recorded, and he'd previously sat in on Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" up in Rockfield!

now for some advice; the cardboard type egg boxes are a good sound proofer, nailed to the walls. or if you've got a few quid to spend, upholstery foam. it'll still be cheaper than real sound proofing. by the by, it's drums that take up most of the room, but they make a lovelly sound!

hi knox87 and welcome to chordie poems.

i must say a very deep and thought provoking poem, and jamiers reply is just as deep.

well done to you both

if i wanted a motorcycle i'd buy a yamaha....and they probably are the same company.

my advice on buying a new guitar, acoustic or electric is; if it looks nice, hold it. if it feels right, play it. if it plays right, buy it. the maker is secondary. and the country of origin is way down the list. i understand the chinese are making some nice copies...if your a newbie, you cant afford to be a snob.
