Now rest up....You have some work to do this Thursday in the studio.Kick butt Bud.

Milkdup if you can provide the title of the song and a link to the page on chordie where the song is it would be helpful, there are several musicians on chordie who can provide the strumming patterns including myself keep in mind to select songs that you know how to play the chords in the song too
Prost to you Geo and thanks for the toast I will enjoy my usual diet root beet along with a bowl of butter pecan (just to take the edge off ) and kick my computers butt in chess for good measure

I am already having a good birthday with all the comments from my fellow chordie members thanks Ken,Roger,Ark,Bad eye and randy I will have a bowl of ice cream with my cake (no candles dont need reminders) and enjoy the day so thanks again for your well wishes
Ark what I was refering to was the finished recording because once its mastered there is no going back to a "do over" as far as retakes if there needed yes I can do them but I really dont think it will be necessary I think one take will be all I need unless some physical malady strikes my fingers (not to likely) and thanks for your best wishes Russ

I'm curious here Russ is there only to be one stab at recording and no chance for a retake?
or am i missing the point so to speak and the general aim is a one off warts and all solo.
Anyway good luck with your session...
Ark
Mine too

Roger I think Mr.Murphy has invaded my vista puter the fan still makes a little groan when I fire it up,I took it apart and cleaned all the fans and its running a lot quieter but I may need to replace the fan unit so I wrote down the part number and I'm searching for a replacement and I hope Murphy postpones his unwelcome visit to your residence and my session
Roger Guppy wrote:Hi Russ,
'Break a Leg' on Thursday and I will invite 'Murphy' round to mine for the day. He has been dogging me lately anyway so having another day with him won't make much difference.
Roger
Thanks Doug I have a feeling everything will come out fine and I will post a sign of the door of the studio "no Murphy's allowed" and I will film this session and upload the results and let you know how it all turned out
Doug_Smith wrote:Oh Russell you lucky dog you....
We will keep our fingers and toes crossed for you on Thursday that old man "Murphy" stays away from the studio. But now that guy who narrates all the movie trailers has passed away, (The Voice) there is room in the world for another "one take wonder".... could be you!
Hope you have a good time and look forward as usual to your reflections on the whole process.
Take Care; Doug
I referred to the note to the right of the slash as the "root" this is only my way of saying it is the lowest note played in the chord sorry if i misled you, in the key of G, F# is the seventh tone of the G major scale. G Major is a triad of G B D but you can place the notes in any order, so you could express it as G/D or G/B its still a G chord because the note to the left of the slash is the root or tonic.or the 1st
We had a beautiful day today and I spent some time at my favorite spot by the lake and snapped a few more photos of my new home town Port Washington Wisconsin,there is a phot of a statue made of bronze of the "old fisherman" that sits in Rotary Park by the lake (Michigan) and there are a few shots of the lighthouse with several sailing ships in view if you care to download them feel free
The time for the next session is fast approaching the session is set for this Thursday the 16Th at 7pm and I have been purposely avoiding working out a lead solo note for note because I believe that a general idea is better as it leaves more room for spontaneity and having a set arrangement of notes in a solo would be counter productive,I know the chord changes and my solo will follow them but I will let the inner spirit,the creative force that God has blessed me with take over and guide my hands on the fretboard.Its easy to talk about how well you play but when you record its like words spoken, once they leave your lips you are judged by others and there is no rewind or second chance to make a first impression but im confident the notes I record will be up to my standards and the best I can do, and in the end thats all anyone can hope for.
All chords that have a / such as the Gmaj7/E or G/F# simply mean that the note to the right of the slash is the root of the chord in the chords you give they would it seems be passing chords or step down a more common slash chord is D/F#
pb12mm wrote:I am learning a few new songs and I have a question about how to read certain chords. Here are some examples.
Gmaj7/E
Bm/D
G/F#
I do know that the G/F# works as a step down from G to Em, but is it that why everytime it is on all songs?
Are all of these step down or up notes?
Is the Gmaj7 the chord but played from the E string?
Is the Bm/D the same, a Bm chord, played from the D string?
Any help would be appreciated. I am just starting on guitar and Iam haveing some good success with music that just has the chords listed, then I came across these.
Thanks in advance.

Stonebridge you really know how to hurt a guy
Those were very good (I watched seveal) I dont think I could play in the back seat of a car I because I get ill for some reason when I ride in the back seat but I enjoyed the videos thanks for the link
You are a hopeless romantic, but thats a good thing nice chorus I will see what words I can add to this place "where darkness and silence abound"

Makes me wonder whats on your answering service I remember a "Seinfeld" episode when Jerry answered the phone the person at the other end was a salesman, Seinfeld said "I'm a little busy at the moment but if you leave your home phone I can call later,what? you dont want to be bothered at home? well then you know how I feel" and hung up
this is a link the Old Doll just put up looks good to me http://www.ezfolk.com/guitar/howtao/folk-guitar.html
