Recently we had a post discussing the use of  strong  language in songs and  poems, sorry if  this offends any one but I  feel in this case it  warrants the use, so please feel free to insert an appropriate alterative word at the end .

Slaughter of innocents

You rain down your terror
on people like me
Without rhyme or reason
the whole world can see
My brothers and sisters
die screaming in pain
No one should suffer
for somebody's gain
They say lightening can
never strike the same place
As bolt after bolt
seems to target my place
The innocents perish
the people erased
The meaning of mercy
turned arse about face
Your promises vanish
as quick as pie crust
And memories dissolve
blown away with the dust
All of your words they
appear back to front
It is my opinion
that you are a C**T ...

May be there are  suitable  washers  in  a  hardware  store   for  a  few  cents I  scrounged  these  off friends .
The other thing that makes me cringe is when I see guys just plugging their lead in with out first threading it over the strap .The number of times I've seen them step on the lead and pull it out mid solo ..........did it my self a few times till I learned ..lol

instead  of  strap locks   we  use  the rubber  washer  off  an empty  Grolsh beer bottle   they  just  slip  over  the  strap button and  hold  the  strap  in  place   works  great   cost  nothing . I'll post  a  pic later .

One thing nobody has mentioned yet is about string choice and hight all my guitars including acoustic have light strings and low action which makes such a difference to finger pressure when playing my only exceptions are my two resonators and my stratocaster which I use for slide these are set higher and have heavier strings .Ok light stings on an acoustic Will be quieter but as I only play amplified thats no problem

Well done  I  also  had  a  look at  your  cover  of  Hank  to  Hendrix  ever  thought  of  doing  a  Neil  young  tribute  set  its  really good .

I get up in the morning and the birds are chirping
You’re lying beside me , but your heart is hurting
Grandmaw’s on the front porch dipping snuff and burping
Wondering what you might have done
if you had her in the sights of your gun

oh there is no time for regrets right now
you know you gotta kill her somehow
Oh no time for regrets right now
Pick up my gun, get it over and done
And soon Ill be on the run

But grandpa always did like ‘em rough
Uncle Leroy had a dragon named “Puff”
Puff was magic, he could do tricks
Just give him some weed and some match - sticks (enunciate both syllables)

oh there is no time for regrets....My  soul
gotta take  a shovel dig a big  hole
no time for regrets
cos  the  cops  are  coming
I'm heading  for  the  hills
and I gotta  keep  running ....

(now  lets  add  some chords then we  know  how  to  sing  it ?)

I  really  like  the  progression   from B this  works  well but  I keep wanting  to add  a  D in this  next  bit  and  so on

[E]Surely [A]not the road to [B]riches

[E]Surely [A]not the road to[D] [B]riches

but  then  this  last line  would need  to  finish on B before returning  to the  B progression

E]Spend more time with [A]you heaven [D]sent

E]Spend more time with [A]you heaven [B]sent

I 'd  like  to  hear  you  play  it  Jeff .
