Well Rhiannon,

You have been a busy young lady. I know a certain Irish lady that is going to be as overjoyed and tearful as I when she reads this. You are very thoughtful and kind and I am sending you a great big hug.

Hey Rhiannon,

Nearly granddaughter of mine, I am trying to write this with a tear in my eye. For once I do not know what to say.

Thank you, but I have done no more than any of the other Chordie members would have done.

Those words will be printed, saved and treasured.

Grandad, Roger.

Mike,

Tommyboy2,

If it were censorship the song would simply have been removed, all Moderators/Adminstrators have that authority. Foul languge and spam does gets removed and the abusers are normally banned from the site.

You were pleased to accept praise for an earlier offering so accept the criticism also. Chordie is a friendly place where people of all ages come and enjoy themselves and I think that is what you forgot. What is suitable for adults in an adult only environment is not suitable for innocent youngsters. If this were an adult only environment I can assure you that my previous posting would have been a lot stronger.

That being said I am sure that your presence and comments on the Forum will be of value to the contributors to Chordie. However I still stand by my comments about this song.

Hi Patrick,

I have my dream guitar.

18 months ago I was in the market for a new guitar although I did not have a lot of cash. After much looking around and trying guitars I found one that I loved. You might guess, it was out of my price bracket. It was a Fender JG-26SCE and the price was €600.00.  I dreamed about this guitar and kept going back to play it for about 6 weeks until I could eventually afford it.

Not the most expensive guitar, I know, but amplified or unplugged I think she is great.

I agree with Ken,

If you read through some of the other threads concerning buying a guitar you will find that some members have tried 3 or 4 identical guitars and they have not all sounded the same. You may pay a little more going to your local music emporium but you can try and know exactly what you are getting and you will also have somewhere to go if something should go wrong.

Hi Tone,

Welcome to Chordie and I am sorry to hear you are having problems printing your songs. Jpage_roxmysox is absolutely right so if you follow her instuctions you should be OK. However if you have further problems trying to print then please ask again for help.

Take care,

Roger

Well Old Doll,

I am overjoyed to have a monument in your back garden. I am just disappointed that it was not I who emptied the bottles to make it.

I would suggest moving the relevent threads from say the first of May to here and only move the older ones if someone resurrects them. However I think it that others should have an imput into this - so what do YOU think?

Having read the lyrics I do not think that this song should have been posted on Chordie. To say it is in poor taste is a vast understatement. I know that there are songs even worse than this about but this is not the place for them. I will not be getting out my guitar to attempt to play this.

To clarify bonedaddy's brief comment. A guppy is a small tropical fish, the female of the species is very plain but the males are very colouful and exotic. Named after Robert John Lechmere Guppy who discovered them in 1866.

Which has absolutely nothing to do with songwriting as fish cannot sing. Whales can but they are mammals.

Hello TheCama,

Welcome to Chordie. I regret to inform you that Chordie does not host any songs, it is a search engine and there are legal reasons why copywritten songs cannot be posted here. There is more detailed information in the resources to help you.

The exception of course, is songs you have written yourself, these can be posted in the Songwriting section of the forum for other members to enjoy and comment upon.

Enjoy Chordie,

Hello Ashley,

Welcome to the Chordie forum and your first posted song. I am unsure whether your opening words are directed at me or if Guppies is a term of endearment (or worse) lol

The lyircs you have are fine, a nice sentiment, althought you will probably have to alter it a bit to get verses to the same lenghts. Sit down with your guitar and slowly strum chords whilst going through the words. Some chord changes will sound awful, but if you keep trying you will be able to find ones that sound good together. Get a sequence for two lines, repeat it and you have the chords for your first verse.

Give it a try, if you want help as Saba has already pointed out you will always find it here on the forum, either openly or by private e-mail.

Well done,

Roger

How about "Off The Cuff"?

How about "Bits and Pieces"?

How about "Chinwag"?

How about "Chordie's Chat Corner"?

Hi John,

If you go the public song books and sort by edited you will quickly find James McCormick's Folkie Dolkie 1 song book and they have been 100% edited. I am sure you will find some gems in there.

Hi Mark,

You already can e-mail Rooster. Just click on E-mail under his name and hey presto you can e-mail him, although for security I do not think it shows the actual address.

Hey Tom,

That is quite exceptional especially as it is your first song.

I think it would interest a lot of Chordie members to know how you went about getting it produced. Did you take it to a local band or recording studio or what? And who is performing the song for you, your choice or the producers? I would be fascinated to know the story behind it.

Thank you,

Roger

Hi Jeff,

That is great. There is something magical about hearing someone perform their own work. It always seems so much better than than the version I do. I bet that Michiyo is over the moon with it too.

Great work, my friend,

Thank you,

Saba has sent me her chords to her song and I returned them in Chopro format on the 28th May. As she has neither posted them or answered my e-mails I thought I would let everyone know that hopefully she will post them soon and you will not be disappointed.

This is this young lady's first song and I am very impressed and I am sure that others who follow this section of the forum will be too. She compliments others on being talented but she is very talented too.

Hi Mark,

I have just listened to your recording of this song which you kindly sent me.

In my opinion it is probably the most professional, commercially attractive song I have heard. What more can I say but well done and thank you.


Roger

Hi Bootlegger,

As far as I am concerned you HAVE to play from the heart. I do not think that anyone can perform music well without their heart, soul and emotions being fully in tune with it. Whether it be playing an instrument or singing, for a performance to come across, it has to be felt as well as heard.
