Since joining Chordie I have found myself bouncing around different forums and have noticed that every forum I've been to (including Emails) has their smileys set up so that one could see the smileys then pick and choose the applicable smiley.At Chordie we have to make sure the spacing is right then type in the appropriate keys.Just wondering if it could be set up for what appears to be the normal setup. It would make it less confusing to newbies coming into forum and I'm guessing you would have more to choose from.
Just a thought...not complaining

A gracious Thank You Lena. 
Time to write something upbeat me thinks.

Hi Naomi
Welcome to Chordie
For me when I am writing and am playing the guitar it is more the feel you have in mind for the sound you are trying to accomplish.There is no rhyme or reason,it's what makes you the writer feel satisfied.By the sounds of your post you have only been playing a short time and this could be why you feel confused as it takes time to develop the proper strumming technique.It is difficult for anyone new to guitar to be able to strum,remember where to put your fingers for chords and sing at the same time
Keep at the practicing and writing and in the mean time you should post some of your songs up in the songwriting section for solid feedback and practice. 
I'm no pro but I hope it helps.

Thank You George 
I have wondered if when someone is listening to anyones songs they actually listen for the meaning of the song. Other than the Chordie members that is.
Thanks Again and I am very glad that you enjoy my writing style and can hear past my vocals. 
Kenny
Up to the usual standards James 
Well Done too you and looking forwards to hearing it.
Kenny
Good one Stretch 
Definitely sounds like a good one for around the ole campfire.
Looking forwards to more of the same with some lyrics here to boot. 
Kenny
Rock On Daddy

Good writing as usual
When are we gonna hear one ?
Kenny
Thanks Roger 
Nothing too serious with my son In time he will come around, I hope sooner than later.
Thanks for the comments.
Been concentrating on figuring out recording and my singing
so now it's time to write something for Russells contest.I'm guessing there are lots of entries with an Oct 1 deadline.
Kenny
Hey Stretch 
Thanks for the accept at MySpace.
Things are OK here other than the sound of my singing. 
Looking forwards to reading and hearing more from you.
Thanks Again
Kenny
"I'm Missing You Again" is now posted at MySpace for those that would like a listen.It was written because I miss my son and the good times we had together when he was younger and how I wish I could see more of him to build more memories.
As all that know me say"In time he will come around" but it's a tough wait.
Enjoy

Thanks Roger and Ark 
Being my first written song made it that much more enjoyable recording it and listening to the playback. 35 years is a long wait but well worth it.Again I have a lot more tweeking to do but that's OK. I'll get'er there
Thanks Again Mates

Hi Rick15568
Welcome to Chordie 
I was in the exact boat you are in.Since joining chordie I have learned to overcome my fears of stagefright and not been able to read music. I learned that if I am happy with the end result than that is all that matters.In 3 short months I have got to the point where I am actually recording and posting my tunes and this makes me feel very good about my songwriting abilities(whether good or not) just posting here is a big boost.
I suggest that you take part in the forum as there are many talented people here that will inspire you to record and post your songs for all to hear.
Hope that helps you and looking forwards to reading and listening to your songs.

I have recorded "Feel The Breeze". For those that would like a listen please click on the link to my website.This is the first song I wrote way back in the early seventies.As you would guess I am a big Bob Dylan fan.I will format the lyrics later as its been a long day and it's bedtime for Bonzo 
Enjoy

If I was you Doc I would spend my time harassing all those sexy nurses and letting them know that when you get home your gonna write the right one an awesome song about how she made your short stay an enjoyable one.
Who knows where that will lead...
Pulling for you in Kanada Doc

Yo Roger 
Hope your enjoying the weather in Portugal.If your still smoking than be re-a-a-al careful with that aerosol as we don't need to hear that you've burnt yourself up the kilt. :lol

Hey David 137
It is a good thing that you are not happy with the lyrics because I'm guessing it was written as a lark and you are feeling the ramifications of what the power of words can do.Re-write the lyrics as Roger suggests and post it up here at Chordie.
It will help you with your feelings knowing that they are being read globally, proving to yourself first and others second that you are not a bigot.
As for people liking it...I'm hoping they like the melody you have sung and if they like the lyrics than I would distance myself from them as they can be a rotten influence on a good heart.
Take Care and I hope I hear a re-write.

Hi David
Trust me when I say I know how you feel.I have been with Chordie for 3 months or so and have learned a great deal on how to deal with this subject. The biggest thing I have learned is if I'm happy with the end result than that is good enough.Your voice will always sound different to you when recorded and if your friends tell you that you have a good voice than believe them.The means of recording will also make a big difference in the sound of your voice as will the the playback(in your case the cell-phone) If you sound good in your head while you sing than you must be a good singer.
Hope it helps

Hi Lena 
It's raining all over the world and it really stinks.
At least in Ireland the hills and grass are green and the air is fresh(I have never been but would love to one day)
I'm guessing Lena if you were to measure up to the USA or Canada or anywhere else that it's probably crazier or worse(although I've never heard of someone dying cause they believed christmas decorations were made from chocolate)
Anyone else have some stats on how crazy the world is getting to show OldDoll she is not alone in her thinking 
Shouldn't take long :lol;

The circle of life
Not enough written about a wonderous everyday event.
Well Done Again
Kenny
Hey Daddy 
Life is sacred and should be saved
To make the world anew
I hear a Dylan style and feel.
Nice writing again
Kenny 
Thanks Daddy 
Riding the range and whistling a tune go hand in hand.
Thanks for the images.
Kenny
Thanks for your kind words Dino
Too many people caught in lifes trap
to not write about.
Thanks Again
Kap
Hi Roger
I thought I would record this one early so you could hear what I heard, except when it came down to recording it the end results were completely different from what I originally heard.
I will probably record a different version later when I get gooder at recording and playing. 
Thanks again for your comments and your previous work 
Kenny
Hey Lena 
I'm glad you enjoyed it. As I said to Roger it ended up way different than the original idea but I am pleased with the haunting way it turned out.Not knowing how to do a drum track forced me into a lot of the effects to fill in the empty spaces.Me thinks me might have too much effects but that's OK cause I like it and I'm going to be learning for a lon-n-n-n-g tim-m-m-m-e.
P.S. It sounds gooder without the vocals 
Thanks Again
Kap
Got home from work today and thought I would try and record this.It ended up a lot different than I had in mind originally.I think I put too much on it as it sounds pretty fuzzy.Anyways ...have a listen at myspace and pay no attention to the vocals.
Someone with deeper vocals would suit it much gooder.
Kap
RIP Richard
Your music will live on
