Gidday,
Could you clever people give me an idea of a very well known 12 bar blues song.
I`m helping a learner,so a simple one would be good.
Thank you very much.
look forward to your reply.

Beestie
Pat yaself on the back,ya lyrics are always excellent
Strum pattern / tempo/ chords aren`t the answer.
U need to ask others for honest comments.
Reading your latest, i could hear how u were going to do it by the meter of the lyrics.
I think the problem is in your head,just need to change your thinking, not a lot though.
Peatle is right FEEL is very important!Uke players go on about strum, where feel is neglected.

Topic: Ordinary Song (1 replies, posted in Songwriting)
I set myself a task to write 7 silly/comedy songs in 7 days.
well i did 8.I did this because lately i been writing too many serious songs.
You`ll be pleased to know, it`s now Friday & there won`t be any more for a while(big sigh from Chordians) oh the relief!
Buckle yaself and hold on tight!
`Ordinary Song`

Just an ordinary guy

Not trying to impress
Just use a few chords
That everybody knows
To play along , have some fun
And make a bit of noise
The lyrics i keep simple too
It would be expidicious of me
To conflagulate words that matter
Just to repositate you
Just an ordinary song!

Topic: Sex Or Guitar (18 replies, posted in Poems)
Gidday,i was thinking of a subject that might get comments from the Chordians
who don`t usually bother to make a comment.Needed a killer title to get their attention.
But my post turned into this a kinda poem/song thingy.This is a deep subject!Look forward to your replies.
Sex Or Guitar
Hey i always meant to ask you
Which one would it be
If ya had to give up
One or the other of these
Sex or guitars?
For some it may be easy
To answer this question
But to others not an easy choice
On the plus side
A guitar gets better with age
Can`t always say that for a woman(or Man)
They get out of tune pretty easily
So i`ll look forward to hearing your answer
But please keep it true
As for me you`re wondering?
At this stage i`m non commital
A question like this
Is far too hard for me

Re: Have I Posted This Before? (Chordie Song/Writer Of The Year) (9 replies, posted in Songwriting)
Hey Bill
i kinda like the idea.i even have a few of songs by u guys that i think
are worthy of recognition.
I do lots of songs that are pretty ordinary so i`d be happy to come last.
Not a problem.
I think the good songs should be recognised by us.I know that listening to
u good musicians gives me a buzz,It inspires me to get better.
U only have to look @ some countries where there is no competition
they end up a basket case.
Competition raises standards, personally, i might find it pushes me to something better.
bring it on i`m ready to vote!
