hi mcclatch,
when my mate and i started playing way back in the 60's, we would learn a chord and strum a rhythm and just make words up around the chord (something like hawkwind did!!!!) soon we found that our tunes needed another chord, so we just hit every chord we new until we found one that was close enough (just like hot chocolate ((the group...you sexy thing?)) soon we were doing a status quo with 3 chords. it's just progress, you will progress it's a matter of practise, dedication, being inquisitive and just trying it. keep trying.

hi swansneck.
there's an easy way to play between those two chords...
think of C to A minor...use your index finger to barre the 5th frett and use your pinky to complete the chords. check out the the chord chart for the exact fingering. with a little practise you'll find it easy, i use it all the time, not just for F-Dm, but if i'm playing in the key of G i may use the C "shape" to play a D chord.

i just cant throw anything away. the best i can achieve is to put what i'm not using into the attic when i buy a replacement. then i keep the box in case i have to return it faulty.
i occasionally go into the attic for something then spend an hour looking at things i forgot i put up there, then bring them down again! i guess i'm useless.
things i cant throw out include; 3 keyboards, a fender strat 1972 mexican. a fender f90 acoustic same year. a cheap and nasty electric in black. a pair of mos-fet 100 watt amps mounted on a board to use as power amps for stage. i've got a beautiful peavy bandit amp which i dont use as i play my guitar through my p a . millions of fx pedals that are outdated. and billions of bits of paper with songs on. i did manage to throw out an old teac multi-track reel to reel last year and some old tapes and cassettes. there's lots of other stuff too...cd's, dvd's old programs you name it, camera's ....sorry gorra close my head's hurting....

time indeed flies by while your having fun, welcome krapyl, and thanks for your offering. i must say it is disturbing, all the talk of death and destruction. but all works of art are meant to make the mind work, to think and to decipher. so, welcome once again and well done.

hi tommydone,
thanks for your poem. the last line is a bit disconcerting; "..admit my crime"? there are no criminals on chordie unless your a spammer, and weve had our fair share of those lately. so welcome to poems and i look forward to seeing more of your lyrical, entertaining and discriptive poems.

i only use two fingers to play "F". just play the "A" shape chord on the 8th frett, but lay the 3rd finger across the D,G AND B strings, also used for the dreaded B chord and all the others up the arm. it's simple when you've mastered it. i've been using it for over 40 years now, just avoid dubbing the bottom E (6th string).

my mother gave me some good advice i wish i'd listened to; she said "play the mouth organ, it's lighter"
honestly, i've always found drummers to be the laziest and most selfish members of the band. the drums are always the last to go into the van "cos theyre delicate!" so everyone helps carry them into the hall, then while the rest of you are struggling and sweating carrying the amps and pa in, he's setting up cos it "takes longer to set drums up" coblers!!!! then they get drunk play too loud and sometimes even fall asleep halfway through a song. how can anyone fall asleep while playing "summertime blues?" beats me. give me a drum box any time....lol
congrats on buying a kit though, nothing like bashing a drum to relieve your frustrations when the drummer dont turn up...i love drummers really

hi jeff,
all corners covered here, leeds, gardening and an ode to lost love. a story well told. i went to leeds once too, they called time at 10.30 and you had to drink up and be out by 10.40, very rude i thought, so i never went there again.
but the most surprising part of the song was that it stopped raining long enough for you to plant seeds?
lol phill
hi robert,
puts me in mind of raw hide, old gil favor and rowdy yates. though i thought it was the ozzies that had tucker? nice tale, i could almost taste the dust and smell the cow pats
phill
hi jeff,
glad you like it, you must be a clever dick, cos i can never figure out peoples songs...lol
hi robert,
from the heart, this one. all true too. we met at a disco where they only played waltzes and "ling-a-long-a-max" you know? grab a granny...lol. then one night ann (the wife) came along to one of my gigs and as i was looking her in the eyes while i was singing a love song she whispered "i love you too" boy was i flying after that! 30 years and counting.
hi tony,
i made a boo boo on blue is grey! you see the riff was running around my guitar for some time, then one day i managed to write a couple of verses, did a backing track and promptly forgot about it!
then a week or two ago, i put together 3 or 4 bits i'd been working on and wrote 10%!!!! then after up-loading to my space, i came accross blue is grey and realised what i'd done. so if you thought the riff and chording were similar, you now know why
thanks to all
phill
This is a realy old song, written when my wife Ann and me got together 30 odd years ago. I have changed a few words and some chords, but that's it. You can listen to this and another new song or two on My-space, click on my web to your left. Comments welcome.

noted your comment about a love song with Leeds in it. how about something to do with gardening? e.g.
we were out in the garden, sowing some seeds.
a garden in england, a garden in leeds.
that's your starter for ten, the rest i leave to you
cracking song by the way, love a bit of blues
phill
Kenny, we worked together once (if you remember?) and I have no doubt in my mind that you can carry this off with no sweat at all. The demons are in your mind, and once you get through that most difficult part, which is walking onto that stage and playing the first verse, you'll settle back and love it. You will come off the stage (if the audience let you off!) and you'll want to get back on and do it again, even if it means playing the same three songs!
Performing to an appriciative audience is more addictive than heroin. It happens to me all the time...I wish!
Dont fret it my friend, just enjoy the experience

PS, not too many sherbets before you hit the boards!
hey kenny, what a bittersweet little song. i feel a touch of sadness in your words almost melancholy? wish i knew how your melody takes the song, a recording would help 
phill
Always a pleasure young man. How are things in the land of canuke?
This is here cos my good friend Kenny asked for it. Hope you enjoy it and play along if you like.
hi robert, thanks for the review, the sound does seem a little distorted, how is the collaberation with jeff coming on?
hi tony, i was just messing at the piano when fairwinds came, it took all of 10 minutes and about half an hour to record. the guitar came later. nothing planned. it took longer to think of the title!
hello russel, the riff for 10% has been around for a couple of months, words and a melody just wern't coming. then it all came together in a flash.
it's an all live recording, guitars drums the works. thanks for the review.
talk soon ?

sorry arkady, i've invaded your teritory by including 2 ambient type tracks
1. no friend
2. fairwinds (instrumental)
1 country/ rock , ghosts of winter
and 1 rock song, 10%.
