Too technical for me!

12th fret - guess its just a large fret marker -
just looks odd bc rest are dots
I am thinking if it had anything to do with helping you play like that - I need to put a bunch of them on my guitars !

He has way more talent than I will ever have regarding staying on beat.
He has a very nice voice. I don't know how you kept that kazoo in your mouth so long
I am envious of you -those are special memories you are forging - can't ever be topped by buying any toy or video game.
The time you spend with your son like that is preciously irreplaceable.
Congrats - enjoy - and never stop !

Bill- I had the same question about the fret thing !
I loved the comment down below:
non - guitar player - " man , I gotta start playing guitar"
guitar player - "I might as well stop playing guitar"
Thanks for sharing

Re: Where Are You When A Song Idea Hits You? (9 replies, posted in Songwriting)
The last one i wrote I was sitting in a restaurant.
Like Phill- I will see or hear something and say to myself that has the makings of a song.
I have all sorts of notes to myself on my phone.
As you know - most of my stuff revolves around emotions and life's happenstances.
I agree with Peatle - trying to write a song - ir really difficult and usually sub par or downright crappy.
Lastly - as Phill said - sometimes i just get a hord progression going from sitting on my porch and just relaxing - and some line pops in my head - and it just grows from there.
I suppose if I could actually sing or play well it would be a lot easier.
Great topic Bill

Re: Paging LOREMASTER PEATLE! (9 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Peatle and Bill
Great find. Excellent music.
McKinley story is a sad one ... the injury from the gunshot was so unfortunate as it not only went through stomach - it hit liver , pancreas and actually was never located.
McKinley also had a heart problem and was way overweight. It was the gangreneous infection and other complications that eventually killed him. Thomas Edison the great inventor had sent an x ray machine - but some how a part was missing and it was useless.
I encourage everyone to listen to the song by Steve and Ainsley - posted on their site www.apiranamusic.com that Peatle provided - called All The Lights - It is excellent - but I gotta say _ JAN YOU SOUND JUST LIKE HER -- that's why I keep telling you you need to get in a studio!
Thanks to Bill and Peatle for this great thread

Glad u are recovering great
I got a splinter about 5 years ago in my finger - pulled out no problem. Then my finger swelled . Found out that it wasn't the splinter, but a reaction the chemical residue that was left from the treated lumber.
I like you - now wear gloves!

Re: Love That's Lost (9 replies, posted in Songwriting)
Thank you all for you kind words .
Beamer - no , thankfully my wife and I just celebrated our 35th anniversary
Like Phill said there have been arguments and times where it was hard, but we always find a way to mend .
I actually wrote this after reading all your great posts, but I couldn't bring myself to comment- so I wrote about what I was reading, at least how I was interpreting it.
Bill- you crack me up - you have such wit!
Thanks again all

Lost love Jim Kenyon
[Em]I’m walking the roads I [A]know many men have gone [Em]down [Em]
[Em]I'm in a sea of confusion and it [A]looks like I might [Em]drown[Em]
[A]my mind’s still yearning, but myheart is burning like [Em]Rome [Em]
And [B7] now it seems I’m so [A] lost, with no direction [Em] home
Chorus
[A]vacant eyes and empty hearts
[E] though I can't say who's to blame
[A] with bitterness slowly creeping in,
ain't [B7] nothing ever gonna feel the same
[A]we've lost the hunger in our souls
[E]and all our blessings have had a cost
[A]with tempers hot and sheets so cold
[B7]it sure looks like this [A]love is [E] lost
[Em]old footprints everywhere in my[A] head and all around our [Em]home,[Em]
[Em]each one with a memory, re[A]sembling tarnished [Em]chrome[Em]
[A] goods times are gone, and they ain't coming round[Em]again[Em]
those[B7] years of comfort and [A] love have turned into[E] pain
Chorus
[A]vacant eyes and empty hearts
[E] though I can't say who's to blame
[A] with bitterness slowly creeping in,
ain't [B7] nothing ever gonna feel the same
[A]we've lost the hunger in our souls
[E]and all our blessings have had a cost
[A]with tempers hot and sheets so cold
[B7]it sure looks like this [A]love is [E] lost
[Em]pleasures of the night have faded,[A]our tender moments are [Em] gone[Em]
[Em] love got lost between the [A] darkness and the[Em] dawn.[Em]
[A] those goodbyes with cryin’ eyes,havemade my heart so [Em]sad [Em]
Oh[B7] come find me baby, and [A]remind me of what we once[E] had
Chorus
