I would like to second that admirable statement and add that the same applies to all the young contributors to the Forum.

Hi Saba,

I have sent to you privately my e-mail address and I will help you get your song posted if you wish.

Hi Badeye,

Maths is when you see that someone was born 5 years before 1955 and then calculate their age to be 60.

Single Malt is extremely fine whiskey that goes down like nectar but it does help to cause these miscalculations after you have had a dram or two.

I hope that this information is beneficial to your education and you are now up to speed.

Good health,

Roger

Hi Snowden

Thanks for letting us hear how "Bluer Than You" should be. It is far better to be able to listen to a song than just having the lyrics and chords.

The URL for Friends of Chordie is:  http://www.myspace.com/friendsofchordie 

May I also apologise as I had to convert the original mp2 recording to mp3 and it has lost a little in the conversion.

These posts got lost during the change over to the new server as did several others at about this time. Scrimmy82 had bought a new guitar and was asking what the allen key was for that came with it. My reply was that it was to adjust the truss rod but suggested that it was safer not to attempt it.

Forty odd years ago I was in a group (now called band) that had a superb drummer. It was nothing for him to do a 15 minute drum solo. An ideal opportunity to leave the stage, find the prettiest girl in the room, get a dance (jive) and arrange to take her home later. Those were the days. So I guess I used my guitar to meet girls too.

Hello Rhiannon,

Those lyrics are very moving and those thoughts must have been echoed by many young women whose man has gone of to war. This is a very adult song from a 13 year old young lady.

Well done and thank You,

Roger

Hello Deearna,

The best music to play on your guitar is the music that you like. It is however interesting to develop your own style of playing to enable you to put your own 'stamp' on whatever you play.

To give an example, Eva Cassidy's "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" and "Fields Of Gold" are far superior to the original artists versions. (In my humble opinion).

Take care,

Roger

Hi Shady Wilbury,

Definitely like this and the chord progression flows. Looking forward to seeing the chords for the chorus and then maybe we can persuade you to record it so we can hear the way you intend it to be.

Thank you,

Roger

Lovely song with a great chord sequence. A wonderful tribute to a very special lady.

Thank you.

Roger

50 years of playing and I have only ever played open G with fingers 1,2 and 3. I might add that I find no difficulty with quick changes to or from it.

You learn something new every day and although I have never had any problems using this fingering I will give the alternative fingering some practice.

Hi Emma,

I will second what Jeff said. I particularly like the A and E on the last line and it is definitely worth the effort of expanding this to become a song.

Well done,

Roger
