come on guys,the question isn`t whats your favourite song.
It`s more about what song would you recommend or introduce to someone.
Hopefully one they are not aware of.

glad to meet you,i`m a poor singer too.but i`m also guitarist/writer.the jury is out
on these.I have tried to bribe them ,but to no avail.
Welcome to chordie,don`t be a stranger.
there are a lot of intelligent people on here,but they all come from Aust/NZ

at the most unexpected times.
Lately i`ve learned to block out ideas.
I had so many going round my head i found it distracting.
I didn`t see any point in writing them down.
so now i only bother occasionally.
looking forward to your end result.

Good question.i hope you give a reply, after we have.
can`t think of one,but it would have to be a Van Morrison song.
Not that i`m a huge fan,it`s just that he is unique & always interesting.
maybe `here stands the glass`

Gidday,
I`m always trying new things,this is my attempt @ doing a kids story.
as usual off the cuff,so don`t expect too much.
not sure if this one works?

Cover songs pay the bills.
It`s as simple as that,i prefer originals.But lets face it the huge majority
of bands do covers.Although i saw The Bootleg Beatle Band.Great night of
music.If ya can`t see the real thing a good cover is sometimes ok.

Bill
BJ Thomas sang it,nice quirky song.

I use capo to stop me getting in a rut.
A friend told me recently to tune one of my guitars down 1 tone.( D i think)
i did this and i hated the sound,but after playing a while it is now my go to guitar.
can still play all the usual chord shapes,but it has an interesting sound now.
so think i`ll always keep one guitar tuned this way.Love It!

Maybe it`s a digitek Trio
you play a simple chord progression,it listens & learns it.
then it comes up with the bass & drum parts to match.
from the settings you can do hundreds of different genres/sound

start putting songs up again.you devil for punishment you.

an end of an era,they don`t make sport stars like Colin anymore.
He was humble ordinary type of bloke.The best thats been.
Saw him in the pub the day he got his knighthood.
I would guess all the other people  knighted were at an exclusive cocktail bar.
It`s a great pity that todays sports people seem to be all cash & flash.

Brother
met my brother for lunch today
boy it`s been a while
got thinking of our different lives
recollecting made me smile
both of us young no more
but nowhere near the end
looking back at our lives
the tortoise and the hare
though we`ve traveled different roads
i don`t know if either would again
he with his many wives
me with only one
he with his many jobs
me with little more than one
brothers
one brave and confident
the other not so
the tortoise and the hare

MKM
practice,whats that? i love your first time version.
thats the way i always do it.i think a few mistakes are far overriden by the
energy & spontaneity of a first take.
lets hope SOM momentum keeps going.

Don`t forget heaps of photos!
vids would be good too.
a great chance to support song of the mth.
how about recording a few versions for SOM.
have a great time.with ya in spirit.

Great idea MKM
just banged out a quicky to get the ball a rollin`
come on chordians, i challenge you to cover this song! YES YOU!
