Phil I just visited my profile page and there are 6 songs maybe this limit to 5 is on your side of the pond 
hi again
i've just looked at myspace and it appears that where you were once allowed 6 songs, you can have only 5 now
Just had a listen Great arrangement on the chords! and I like the feel of the whole song kind of a toe tapper nice one
Phil I like the lyrics and later I will play over it, your on a roll keep cranking them out I didn't know they changed the limit on myspace to only 5 songs hmm.. good job with this song
Roger I downloaded the music and I will see what I can contribute to them i also have the message for processing on audacity its been a week since I used audacity but its like riding a bicycle something you dont forget how to do let you know more when Ive had a chance to work with the song,one question is that D4 a Dsus4?
Roger I tried printing this but a message said I have to enable Java script what happend to change this I used to be able to print the chopro formated songs without any problems this is a new wrinkle please advise russ
The "Halloween Special" is the name of the file on mediafire so if you care to take a peek when you have a few moments
Speaking of autumn in Wisconsin I made a video of a friends Halloween decoration he and his girlfriend constructed a graveyard in the front of there home it is really unique and I did a short interview with him the footage is really cool and I took some photos also when I get a few moments today I will process them and upload them to a "Halloween" file i'm sure you will get a kick out of this video I just have to figure out some music to add to it,but I'll come up with something so I will let everybody know when its finished
Jamie how are you comming along with this song,do you have enough lyrics yet? I have been a little busy with some other projects and dealing with my car repairs but I have the chord changes and the lyrics you gave plus mine and when I have a little time before this week ends I will see what I can come up with if you have a you tube link to some song that has the feel of what your looking for or a myspace site post it so I can give a listen
Phil I know you were not demanding money and forgive me if I did not understand your sense of humour I just wanted to make you feel comfortable with my intentions of publishing these lyrics I suppose I should have done so in a private email but we yanks are a brash lot and prone to committing fopas at an alarming rate so "no sweat" as we say on this side of the pond russ
Dear Russel,
how long have you known me now? and you still don't get my sense of humour.
i wrote those words for the enjoyment i get from writing and taking part, i wasn't demanding money, specially not from you as i think of you as one of my best friends, and anything i can do for you i will...just ask. eg; if you want me to write some more words for you which will be an easy one! and an honour.
Pressing on...i've now uploaded "rock god" so anyone that wants to hear a country song done rock style have a look in myspace [web site on the left]

Helena any song would have or will be (for future challanges) judged solely on content not how good a recording it was or is and the same procedure you did would be fine, as far as tracks or "layovers" (sound on sound?) just a simple guitar and vocal or vocal would be ok there is no need for complicated recording equipment that was the reason for the audacity video tutorials to make it possible for anyone to record a mp3 for less then $5.00 (the cost of the y adapter) and if they didnt have a microphone there were suggestions on several choices the lowest being around $25 dollars or so but even a karoke mic could do the job,finely I am always willing to help anyone who wants to record by directing them to the free programs that produce great results and there are numerous members who never recorded that have taken this direction and uploaded there songs to myspace and if you can turn on a computer and type then you can produce a recording and your not an old meanie 
Yes i reckon there must be loads of chordie members who could enter.
Somehow i feel the barriers been set to high for newbies. "Just my thought". I know when i posted songs here
i did get great help. But it all seems so complicated now with tracks and layovers and whatever. This is all well and good for whomever understands this procedure!
Sure i may as well be looking up a ducks Bum for all i know! Must be an age thing i guess. I do hate to think that some kids out their wont record without feeling the need to have piles of equipment to do so.
I do believe the first song i recorded here was with my guitar and Microphone. Then Roger simply added some more guitar.
So! it doesnt have to be equipment like the cockpit of a jet to be heard. Simple is often better.
I dont wish to sound like an old meanie here to anyone but theres thousands of chordie members, maybe others do feel like i do.Old Doll.
sorry bout that it is the 7th my mistake 
most of the D form bars like a 5th fret D only 4 of the tones are played X5777 this form is a moveable shape with the root on the 5th string as long as the distance of 2 frets is kept example: C chord X355 ect.
The E barre would be up one fret to the 7th(not 6th, 6th fret is D#/Eb) fret in a D form barre.
And to answer your question regarding minor chords in barre chord shapes as long as the differentiating string is not played( example; Bm X24432 and B X24442/ the differentiating string is the G string , 3rd fret on the Bm 4th fret on the B major) the first 2(A shape), or 3(E shape)(from your chin to your knee) strings of the "power chord" will work with a major and/or a minor chord progression.
A shape barre chord; X02XXX or X022XX, x24XXX or X244XX, etc...
E shape barre chord; 02XXXX or 022XXX, 24XXXX or 244XXX, etc...
The |D/E| would be a bar D posistion on the fifth and sixth fret the |G/A| would have to be either a bar on the third and fifth frets or a bar D posistion on the tenth and twelfth frets as far as how minor chords relate to power chords or translate each key has a root and the steps from the root are intervals I,IV and V are always major ii iii and vi are always minor the viith is diminished most minor power chords are bar D or bar A posistions or a part of the bar at least the |A/Bm| woud be a bar A on the fifth fret to a bar Bm on the second fret or a bar A on the twelfth fret to a bar Bm on the 7th fret there are other ways to play any of these chords these are only a few and how did you draw that cool tank
Hey. Learning mostly power chords at the mo.
Would i be right in saying, that for example, if a song pattern goes |D / E / | G / A / | F / E / | That could quite easily be transferred to Power Chords in exactly the same pattern? (so two for D power chord, two on E power chord etc etc?)
My other question, is how do minor chords relate to power chords? I mean a barred F# could easily be played on power chords as one up from an F power chord, but how do minor's etc translate?
For example if the chord pattern is |A / Bm / | How what that be translated to power chords?Thanks (hope its easy to understand my question!)

Phill I will include this song with your lyrics on the CD I am recording at Traxx 52 and your name will also be included on the copyright as a contributing writer and as I stated earlier when this new CD and the songs on it are published (and they will be) I will be in touch and request your letter box number and you will receive a share for your efforts,I will keep you informed as to the progress of this project and notify you when I know more Russ
hi russ, yeh yeh gimme the money man! if only...i'm getting to the point where some money [preferably in large amounts] would come pouring through my letter box. i'm hoping to finish the recording tonight when the wife is out [it's easier that way]

Could we have this in English? my latins a little rusty
Helena I didn't mention this but since you have the answer is yes there were only 2 so theres room for improvement and this was a new concept and givin the time it (the contest) started I think the timeing was not the best, this occured over our labor day weekend which is a three day event and in the middle of some of the most beautiful weather so lots of folk were out enjoying it and thats understandable so I will hold the next "challange" in the dead of winter so only a real outdoors person will venture out for outdoor activity other then getting the groceries or doing the laundry and have ample time to sit down and come up with something and there will be a "challange 11" I promiss
So i take it there was only 2 entries to this competition ?
What a pity!
Do or Do not ! Nice touch Roger. Very well done.
Old Doll.
Phil I am looking forward to this! (your recording) I love the lyrics you have composed they tell a story and I will be recording this song soon and I will include your name for lyrics if you dont mind and if anything comes of it (money) I will contact you, again great job on the words russell
Happy Birthday badeye and many more to another Libra russell
Aha! so thats how you got so smart on reaper, and all this time I thought you were some kind of genius
When I first started using reaper I visited this forum quite often
Lacross aint to far,in fact anywhere in wisconsin is reachable in less then 12 hrs I used to drive truck for a logistics company "cats" so I have been all over the state and most of the country for that matter.Today the Green Bay Packers beat the colts and Bret Favre and the jets Lost to the Raiders on a last second field goal of 57 yrds the weather is really changing fast since I first took those photos all the leaves are just about blown off the trees and its starting to really get cold I guess old man winter may pay a visit early
Smart dee dee I just printed out what you have and will see what I can come up with for you im sure there will be others who will contribute, do you have any particular tempo in mind or genre or should we just feel free to add what ever lyrics come to mind? its a good start for a song and thanks for getting the ball rolling with the chopro
Kenzi if you wish to have it print out like the other songs you will need to understand how to format in chopro.
Daddy cool I know bandits are "banditos" and the word for taverns is "cantinas" there are a number of dances one is the hora the "h" is silent
Thank you Roger, and thank you for the help in moving "amplitude"back and hows the fingers doing? us old geezers gotta let them young folks do the grunt work so we can enjoy the years we were lucky enough to get through
Another amusing vid Russ. Thanks.
Roger
Roger I know your disappointed about the gig but you could not have foreseen what physical maladies would develop with the labor job, I think you made the right choice given the circumstances I have had to do some jobs that wore me out this year and I'm 67 so a "mans gotta do what a mans gotta do" so look at the bright side there are opportunities presenting themselves in areas that you are more familiar with and not as physical so take two aspirin and call me in the morning just kidding hope your aches heal fast and your picking wont suffer to long
Thanks Kenny glad you enjoyed the video.I enjoy a little departure now and then,as long as these videos are enjoyed I will keep making them and sometimes a little food for thought well find its way in to
Good Stuff again Russ.
Another reason to keep coming back to Chordie.
Good food for thought with your trophy bass,I had a laugh big time.Thanks
Looking forwards to your next installment...Your gettin gooder.Kenny
