Thanks TF
I was just thinking about how hard it is for someone to give their heart completely a second time when I wrote it..
Now if only I could actually sing and play what I write 
Thank you again for your kind words.

[D]to have been loved and then it's [Am]gone

I quite agree with TF !
West is good - looked like a great venue. The dancers added to it.
I need that invisibility shirt !

Guitar slapping - I have no clue how to do so but it adds to his performance. Quite a unique way to play guitar.
It seems strange to me ( but I don't much about playing guitar) to see both hands playing on the neck as well.
Thanks for sharing TF

Very smooth !
These guys are really polished musicians and it appears that they are enjoying what they play.
I quite agree - it has a jazzy tone to it.

Re: Dagger (15 replies, posted in Songwriting)
THAT IS ONE OF THE BEST SONGS EVER WRITTEN HERE ON CHORDIE IN MY HUMBLE OPINION RUSSELL !
Short, to the point, clear message, perfect rhyme scheme.
Put that together with a musician who is talented and right in his wheel house bc he is playing what he loves - and you've got a fantastic song production !
Superbly done Russell - if this was put out by a famous band it would go high on the charts !
Thanks for sharing it.

I believe the word prodigy should appear somewhere in the assessment of this young man !
It appears to me that he is in love with the instrument and plays it as such.
There probably aren't too many humans that can play like that.
What a wonderful performance !
If I could play anywhere near that level, I'd quit my job.
Thanks for sharing.

Re: Walking In A New World (8 replies, posted in Poems)
Well written Scott !
I can follow the path of the poem perfectly from all the episodes you have described.
I think it would be great if you stepped out of your metal genre for a song and played this ---- wait for it----
I think as a jazzy slow song. In my head the lyric speaks so much that I think a jazzy sound would do it great justice.
I don't know if that makes sense to you. But any way - excellent poem.

Beamer - that riff sounds ominous - like something is lurking or something dangerous is about to happen. Very good sound.

She is wonderful !
I really, really, really loved the last one - "Something inside of me" it was perfect blues in my opinion.
(and I as I type that sentence - I just got a rush that those words would be the a great title for a blues song _ " {I got the} Perfect Blues" !
What a double edged sword that would be!
Thanks for sharing

I too never had heard that song - you played it very well. I had the exact same thoughts TF did about the headset Mics!
You are a master of many different styles of music for sure.
