it`s a pity he shamed himself,because he had talent to burn.
a true original in a world of copies-ts.
he does an amazing version of smoke on the water.
an inspiration on how to add your own personality to a song.

If you are getting an effects pedal,i would erg you to look @ Red Witch Pedals.
http://www.redwitchpedals.com/
they are true analog pedals,they have built in lith battery, 120hrs playing time.
small & solid also.
They are made by a small company here in NZ.
ps. i happen to shareholder,so i`m a bit biased.

Re: As Long As Love Can Be (12 replies, posted in Poems)
Very good peatle.i enjoyed the chorus(yeah i`m a real chorus guy).
the two voices & guitar.you should put more of your words on Chordie.
i know you struggle a wee bit with vocal( i know the feeling) but your words can`t be faulted.
But i enjoy your vocal delivery,it truly is original & thats what it`s all about.
bring it on baby!!!!

Re: ENTER YOUR NAME FOR A CHANCE TO PICK THE FSOTM FOR JULY 2017 (24 replies, posted in Featured Song of the Month)
Just wondering if we could do a group song.
everyone sing one line eg` we are the world`/band aid. etc.
maybe `all you need is love` or `a little help from my friends`
i`m sure one of the clever guys could do a backing track & patch it all together?
would only be worth doing if we had a commitment from 6 plus chordians.
What Ya Think?

Beamer my version is nothing like the ramones,i`m sorry.

Peatle has taken my version to his musician friend & they are going to add bass & drums.

Re: What is Talent? (11 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Great question,i haven`t a clue what talent is or how it comes about.( i wouldn`t mind some)
one thing i do know is the big artists aren`t always the best artists.
they do something that appeals to a awful lot of people.
They are just the ones that thru luck or persistance/hard work, opportunity have
made it.
I heard Michael Buble` say there`s plenty of better singers than he,but he`s had the breaks.
and considers himself very grateful.
Just need to go online to see brilliant music/artists that goes virtually unnoticed.
