Hi
As this post has been given new life. I can now answer my own question the problem was down to the cheap strings. I got my usual 13 Martins and I had no problems such as I first posted.
Thanks for all the imput.

Nice to have a go at something different Roger,
As you say we all have to expand our horizons occasionally push the comfort zones so to speak.
Nice and up beat as Oldnewie says
Well done.

Hi Daddycool
I asked the same question many moons ago and this was the answer.

Here is how:
You will 'edit' the forum song into the body of a song that is already in your songbook.
1.  Pick a 'victim song' in your personal songbook, one that you can change into the Songwriting Forum song.
2.  Copy the forum song's lyrics and chords and title and subtitle.
3.  Go to your songbook and open the 'victim song' using the green 'edit' button at the end of it's listing.
4.  Now, in the editing pane (the upper one) just zap everything in the victim song EXCEPT it's {t:title} and {st:subtitle} lines.  If you delete these lines, the index will no longer recognize the page - so leave those lines intact and delete everything else.
5.  Now, just paste the forum song into the edit pane just below the victim song's title and subtitle.  Change the forum song's title and subtitle lines into 'comment' lines: {c:title} and {c:subtitle}.
6.  Hit the 'save' button between the panes.  The forum song is now in your songbook, however it is listed there under the title and subtitle of your selected victim song.
7.  You can return to your songbook now and open the forum song now using the regular method, transpose, print, etc.
8.  The forum songs should remain in your private songbook - don't publish that songbook, otherwise it would be the end of civilization as we know it!

seems tricky but works ok.

Look forward to hearing and seeing your new piece.
I know what you mean about laying tracks down. Play them though speakers they sound not too bad then listen through earphones and UGGG every bum note fret buzz and mistake hits you in the face.
That's when I usually want to can it and start again.
In the end I save the the thing on the computer. Do something else and go back to it later. Just sometimes it don't sound half so bad as it did in the first place. Not always though so hit the deletion button on that one.

All the best

Hi oldnewbie
Had listen to your songs. Simple straight forward songs (mean't in a good way ) with excellent lyrics.
I empathise with "Don't Hurry the years" as I have a grown daughter myself. Where did all the years go?
I thought this website might help you pretty up your Myspace page http://www.pimp-my-profile.com/ lots of templates of a musical kind.
Thanks for leaving your comment on my page.
All the best
