That is a great deal. I have been known to buy a case here and there. I have no problem buying a used case.
Sometimes it's good to have expensive guitars in cheap looking cases, so they look less appealing to would-be thieves ....

Re: Recording Onto SoundCloud: Do I Have To Pay? (7 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
I'm not a SoundCloud expert (one app I have on my iPad uploads it's recording directly there), however I believe you need to record the tune onto your local PC and do all the adjustments there, prior to uploading it to SoundCloud. I've never seen where you can record directly into it, like a recording program ... I hope others can chime in if I'm mistaken.
Cheers

Ok here is my entry that easybeat challenged me too. I had a bit of free time tonight to learn it, practice it a little bit and record it. Actually easybeat, when I listened to Frank Sinatra singing it, I didn't know the song at all really, it was not what I was thinking it was. Anyway, I had to do it tonight or not at all as I am babysitting my 2 yr old grandson for 3 weeks and today and tonight was my only child free day to do anything this month. Also, I have never really tried to play Jazz before, that in itself will take me a while to learn how to play properly. So I am not sure it sounds very Jazzy to be honest, and the vocals aren't the best in places as I am not that familiar with this song. It is another song that I wouldn`t mind having another go at but I had to stop, it was getting late and the neighbours probably aren't impressed!https://soundcloud.com/ukulelejan/fly-me-to-the-moon
Sounds good!! I did a version over a year ago, but my recording techniques weren't so good then (vocals are a bit distorted!!) ...
Can I challenge you to do Nancy Sinatra's "Boots are made for walking" ... ???

this is a real singers song,so not one i should do,also i think classics are best left alone.
I`ll only leave it up for a week as it`s a bit of a dogs breakfast.But hey, i`m entering the spirit.

Re: OCTOBER 2018 FSOTM – CHALLENGE MONTH (45 replies, posted in Featured Song of the Month)
Another Chordie challenge for me this month (October 2018) was to do a song written by one of the chordie members - this song was written by two members, Brian Maynall & Phil Williams. Brian sent me an email last year (!) asking if I'd like to do a version of his song, so, almost a year later, here is "If it's good enough for Buddy". I'm not sure if the words/chords are on the forum, but there is a post about the song here: https://www.chordie.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=31861 - hope you enjoy my take on it.
Cheers
Richard
