Re: When the tables turn. (5 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
I can relate so this beamer!
Last week I attempted a song of Tig`s that I have been learning and playing around with. Because I am not so great on the guitar, I asked one of my sons if he would record me on his proper sound equipment, hoping to add other music to cover up my bad guitar playing, to which he said yes. All good and well the thought! HOWEVER trying to sing without playing and playing without singing so he could record me so that he could add drums and other instrumentals ......completely through my timing out! I am so used to singing in time to either my ukulele or guitar or cajon or whatever instrument I using. After many attempts apparently sometimes I was coming in on the right beat, at other times, late, or very very late (he named all technical jargon about it - puffffft). So he reluctantly resorted to plan B which was to record me whilst strumming the guitar .... hmmm my timing was still out to the drum beat! So, I have learnt that when I sing certain songs, I have invented my own unique timing that no one can follow, it doesn`t follow any rules of timing whatsoever! Recording session ended with NO RECORDING! Think I have been politely told! lol

Topic: APRIL 2017 FSOTM - THE WEIGHT - JACK AND DIANE (52 replies, posted in Featured Song of the Month)
Ok, here we are in the month of April already!
Song suggestions were to be from the 1960`s and the 1980`s era. Your Song Suggestions came in, they were Put In The Hat and then randomly pulled out. These are the Two Songs that came out of the hat.
1960`s -THE WEIGHT
From Wikipedia: "The Weight" is a song originally by the Canadian-American group The Band that was released as Capitol Records single 2269 in 1968 and on the group's debut album Music from Big Pink. Written by Band member Robbie Robertson, the song is about a visitor's experiences in a town mentioned in the lyric's first line as Nazareth.
Here`s a link to The Band performing The Weight: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sjCw3-YTffo

1980`s - JACK AND DIANE
From Wikipedia: "Jack & Diane" is a 1982 hit rock song written and performed by American singer-songwriter John Mellencamp, then performing as "John Cougar." It appears on Mellencamp's album American Fool. It was chosen by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) as one of the Songs of the Century. The single spent four weeks at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1982, and, to date, is Mellencamp's most successful hit single.
According to Mellencamp, "Jack & Diane" was based on the 1962 Tennessee Williams film Sweet Bird of Youth.[2] He said of recording the song: "'Jack & Diane' was a terrible record to make. When I play it on guitar by myself, it sounds great; but I could never get the band to play along with me. That's why the arrangement's so weird. Stopping and starting, it's not very musical." Mellencamp has also stated that the clapping wasn't supposed to be included in the finished song. It was recorded with the clapping in order to help keep tempo and then it was to be removed. However, he realized the song did not work without it.

Welcome to Chordie Marshel,
I have no experience with CT but have heard it is very painful, so I hope you have a successful and speedy recovery from your operation.
Glad you have taken a look in at FSOTM and hope to see you join in there, hopefully in the near future playing your guitar or banjo Feel free to join in anyway with suggestions, votes or comments in general anyway until you are able to play again.
I know we have another banjo player here in Chordie and that would be easybeat who gets his banjo out from time to time.

Buddy was very good too ... 2. 32 minutes to be exact lol. Great team effort you guys, should be proud of your selves
Phill that would be awesome to join in singing or something ..........but alas no multi-track set up for me ..........i do confess to owning a RC 30 Boss 2 track but haven't a clue how to use the thing lol.

Re: SONG TIGLJK (11 replies, posted in Songwriting)
Hi Jim, left comments on Sound Cloud, great song written by your once again I have to say, i think i prefer it sung with the chords of the first song rather than the G chord, i thought it may have been a little to deep for you voice? where as the original song the chords seem to suit your voice better ..... just in my opinion But either way great song, lyrics fab once again
