Re: Introverted (7 replies, posted in Poems)
This is the initial sequence I came up with ,it starts with a jangley walkdown intro d-f-e-d-c verse 2 follows the same progression but with electric guitar and I think a short solo after verse 2 before verse 3 takes a calm exit .I may change the D and the A to minors in verse one and fifths for the rest not sure till I get amped up again,
D F-C
I feel so introverted
A D
Things are locked in side
D F-C
All my deep emotions
A D
Have just found a place to hide
F C
Once I could express my self
G D
With eloquence and pride
D F-C
My whole world just fell apart
A D
This wave I got to ride.
Taken from a distant shore
To some other land
Unknown faces all around
Words I dont understand
Situation dangerous
Not the life I planned
I feel so introverted
And I need a helping hand
I miss the warm wind blowing
I miss the deep blue sea
Familiar surroundings
The man I used to be
Perhaps one day I will return
And things will be the same
Till then I'm introverted
And live my life in pain

Topic: Introverted (7 replies, posted in Poems)
Had some thoughts this morning about people throughout the ages who have been taken from their chosen places or homes, and came up with this poem about how they might have felt on arrival in a strange place.
I feel so introverted
Things are locked in side
All my deep emotions
Have just found a place to hide
Once I could express my self
With eloquence and pride
My whole world just fell apart
This wave I got to ride
Taken from a distant shore
To some other land
Unknown faces all around
Words I dont understand
Situation dangerous
Not the life I planned
I feel so introverted
And I need a helping hand
I miss the warm wind blowing
I miss the deep blue sea
Familiar surroundings
The man I used to be
Perhaps one day I will return
And things will be the same
Till then I'm introverted
And live my life in pain

Re: NGD (19 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Mine got some slight damage a few years back when we were renting a house in the uk the house suffered a burst pipe when we were away for a few days and my Eko got wet causing a split in the base near the strap button .However as it hasn't caused any problems with the way it plays or sounds I've not had it to a luthier for repair I just glued it my self .It is my favourite acoustic although I do now keep it in a safe place .

Cool poem Brian. We don't see much tinsel here but I must say that over the past few years xmas has started to become bigger business in Crete , but thankfully we still don't have the blatant commerciality that plagues the rest of Europe .

Topic: USB mic lead (3 replies, posted in Recording)
Theres been a bit of talk lately about recording what to use etc ,My friend Kev Jones recently ordered a usb mic cable from amazon sadly it didn't work on his chosen program MU lab so last night he aske me to try it on my laptop which has audacity installed .I found it worked fine although there was a little hiss which I had to filter out but certainly at about six pounds its a cheap and quick option if you want to record something Ill do a proper recording soon and post the results but so far I've found it good and it doesnt pick up the monitor if I keep it low just the guitar or my voice so Ive been able to record with out headphones as I dont like to wear them .also there appears to be no latency when you use it.
