Whoops... In song requests... Moving to song writing.

Nice Jeff!!!

Guys, I am awed by how many responses this post has, and the number of views is kind of insane.  Thank you all.  I have enjoyed reading each one!  As soon as I get some computer time I will be writing some ginormous response to you all!  . I am really pleased that you all seem to like it so much.  I will have to put this one into my regular playing rotation, and see if I can get a more interesting recording done sometime in the near future!!

Ok Guys, I got a basic recording done and uploaded to soundclick.  I updated the original post, but here's the link down here too:  http://www.soundclick.com/bands/page_so … D=12756885

Let me know how different it is from what you were all playing!    I don't think I'm capable of singing reggae, although I do think it would make a good raggae song!  I'd like to hear one of YOUR versions!!! 

  I don't use an ipad, so I am not toatally sure.  If you long press on the pic do you get an option to copy the link location?  If so you will need to copy and paste that between img tags as described in my "how to post pictures" post here:  http://www.chordie.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=14150

Awe, thanks guys!!!!  I'm glad it came across so well on "paper".    I was up until 5 AM playing my guitar last night, so a little tired and sore fingers here today but I'll try to get some recorded version over the weekend so you can hear how it sounds. 

I often tend to play and sing in Bflat - so I've got it capo'd on the 3rd fret, and strum it with a bouncy rhythm.  I can totally hear it played in a reggae style!  I think you are probably quite close with the rhythm. 

For a while there, only a few of us posted pics.  Then some of us just helped others do it.  Then I said, "hey, if I write something up, it'll make life easier for everyone!"  Duh.  And there it is.  And it's a sticky (at the top of the page it's on) so people can maybe find it easier, but... no one looks at the stickies.  Kind of like reading directions before using something new.  LOL!  I'm glad you found it helpful though!!!!

The guitar is beautiful.  I don't really know much of much about electrics, but it is PURTY!!!!

Very generous and kind of you!  Now, you're birthday isn't for a few more weeks... I wonder what they will get for YOU!    I hope you at least get one of those silly GIANT b.day cards that says, "Best Teacher EVER" or something. 

Purty!!!!!

That's the one! 
It sounds much better in person, as you know.  Congrats on your purchase.  I'm sure you'll love it and never regret it for a second!  Wayne handed me a set of Martin SP's ... and that's what's on it now, but I have to say I like the Martin silk and steels best.  They don't last as long, but they sure do bring out all the mellow tones to this model (and they are super easy on the fingers). 

THANKS EVERYONE for the kind comments.  Working on another tear jerker, although I have to be honest, my fingers are sore.  I haven't forced myself to play enough since chordiestock.  That's one thing I NEED to do more.

  Um, did you forget me Scott?  I'm YOUNGER!  LOL!

Hey newbies!  Welcome to the forums!  Chuck - the Chat corner here is probably the busiest, because we all talk about everything in here that doesn't fit anywhere else and half of it is guitar related and half isn't.  Ha ha!  Poke around, get to know some people by past posts, and JUMP IN!
