Hahahaha

I was just trolling youtube for interesting songs....

These guys from Sydney, Australia have a guitar on the wall that is way cool.  They play the Uke (that has the bent neck as was discussed in another thread) , Mandolin, and one heck of a cool looking bass that I have never seen before.
The wall behind them has violins, banjo and another Mando.
Looks and sounds like they had a lot of fun playing this parody song - and of course the beer on the  shelf is an add-on. smile
I would've liked to played in that session.

Does anyone know what that bass is called ? I think he said it in the intro - but I can't catch the name.

This girl has unbelievable passion for the blues -it's like she is living and feeling  every note.  The fact that she is a left handed guitarist made it interesting-  as well as the great aesthetics - you' ll see what I mean when you watch it ! smile

The kid in the guitar shop - that is like a one person flash mob !  Good stuff brother - keep'em coming!!

Yes, I agree - very talented
That title still has me puzzled however - and on that "note"  - for all of you musicians - especially you CG ---
if  a musical piece has no lyrics - how does one come up with a title ?

Good music - thanks for sharing ?

Bill,
I made a change -  not exactly what you suggested ( i I think " isn't no"  would be a double negative or some thing like that )
and yeah that's kind of how it goes - along the lines of an Eagles song - that kinda country rock.

Thanks for the kind words.

Peatle
Thank you Peatle- yes, there is a lot of interpretation left to the individual in the setting of this song
Thanks for giving it a look.

TF
Thank you for your comment.
I'm not smart enough or talented enough to actually sit down and write a song, I totally rely on my emotions and how I think people would react.
It's why I love the Dylan's,  Van Zant's, Guy Clark's and Steve Earle's  -among many others-  they are all storytellers.
Especially since I know so little about music. Most of my lyrics would sound much different if someone who actually knows music used the right chords, strum patterns, tempo, etc...( that's about it for me - I don't know any other music terms):  )  was writing them . It's why I love when You, Mojo,  Phill, Jan, Graham or many of the others on Chordie had covered a song and they put their own flare, mystique,  and music talent to it - or some one like Bill gives me an English lesson -  it is always a great improvenent.  I'm pretty locked in to the cowboy chords. (:    It is also what I love about Chordie - it has so many different, talented people on here - and so many perspectives - it is like candyland to someone like me.

Again - all of you  THANK YOU !

Jim

I 've had a couple of thoughts running around my head for about a week now.
I woke up about 4 am this morning - poured my self a big cup of coffe - grabbed my guitar and came up with this song.
Hope you like it

  No Way by Jim Kenyon


[C]Seems like I been up since the [F]middle of [C] March


Feeling just like I’m wet change on [G] some bar


And the [C]rain’s coming down so hard I can [F]barely [C]see


but it [G]can’t wash away the [F]ache in my [C] heart


.






[C]Maybe things will get better in the [F]days to [C]come


But this sure feels different in a pe[G]culiar way


And it [C]seems I’ve got a running start on[F] losing my[C] mind


as I [G]search for the right words to [F]make her [C]stay


.






Chorus


[F] I’ve never been scared of nothing, no, I’ve never run [C]away


[F]Ain’t been afraid to fight for what’s right, my whole life[C] through


[F]Oh there’s been times that I’ve walked away from[C] trouble


But [G]Darling, there's no [F]way I can walk away from [C]you





.




[C]Sometimes it’s best to let things un[F]fold in their own [C]way


And forget the hurt and the reasons that caused [G] the pain


I think[C] it’s time to move on and [F]time to [C]forgive


Time to [G]smile and believe in [F]love all over[C] again


.




Chorus


[F] I’ve never been scared of nothing, no, I’ve never run [C]away


[F]Ain’t been afraid to fight for what’s right, my whole life[C] through


[F]Oh there’s been times that I’ve walked away from[C] trouble


But [G]Darling,there's no [F]way I can walk away from [C]you


No, there's [G]no way I can [F]walk away from [C]you


[G]there's no way I can [F]walk away from [C]you


[G]there's no way I can [F]walk away from [C]you

yea - i'm close to Mojo on this one

I would like to see crucifixion, rising from tomb, any of the miracles, or Moses parting the sea

I'm a believer- but man - to witness that - a different dimension.

I always wonder if the people that did witness it - knew what the heck they saw and how significant it was

Like it JETS !

It is strange how we get little tidbits of information, an offer that seems impossible to refuse,   a few emotions roused that you never had before ,
or something catches our eye ....... and ya think to yourself - is this what  I have been looking for ?

Good song man !

Thanks for sharing - I will look forward to when you post the recording

I was playing this song I wrote a while ago this morning - decided it needed some changes
- added a verse and changed a few other lyrics

Some Girls Are Hard To Impress Jim Kenyon

[Cmaj7]got tender heart and the prettiest eyes


[G]I’d love to be with her every night


she’s[D] good at everything she [Cmaj7] does, and barely even[G] tries


.




[G]I love the way she moves, she’s always at ease


[Cmaj7] cooler than any girl that I’ve ever seen


[G] like a ray of sunshine or cool summer breeze


she’s [D]so hard to hold onto[Cmaj7], if you know what I [G]mean.




.




Chorus


[Cmaj7] yeah I buy her everything that I can afford


[G] make all the right moves, n’ say the right words


[Cmaj7] been trying real hard to do my best

[G] Well, you never know what she’s gonna do



[Cmaj7] Her laughter charms the air with every sound


[G] She’s funny, she’s sexy, and occasionally wild


She [d]makes everything [Cmaj7] better when she’s a[G]round


.




[G]As pretty as a spring flower in full bloom


[Cmaj7]got a thousand expressions of every sort


[G]a smile that just lights up every room


oh [D]she can make forever [Cmaj7] seem way too [G]short




.




Chorus


[Cmaj7] yeah I buy her everything that I can afford
