Mario Lanza performing Revolution 9

Hi EB. Something tells me those pills aren't asperin! Very Lennonesque which is not a bad thing at all. This forum has become very serious lately so a bit of silliness is just what the doctor ordered. Keep them coming guys.

very witty Beamer. Many a true word spoken in an alcoholic daze...hic!

hI deadeye.
i've taken some liberties with your song as you can see below. i've changed some words, deleted others and totally messed with the chords. i'm not very good with choruses, so far just looked at the 1st verse, maybe someone else can help there. i've done it to suit a 3/4 time. you could always ignore what i've done completely i wont be offended....

[C] At daybreak she snuck out of that [Em] West Texas bedroom,
[Am] careful not to wake  man or [C] dog.
[Em] She sipped his last cup of [Am] coffee,
then she [F] crept out to her old rusty [G] Dodge.
[Am] When that old engine started on the [F] third prayer,
[Fm] she spun the tiresout of that [G] gravel nowhere.
[C] An old life was over and [Em] new one had begun..
and she [F] drove [G] into the [C] Sun.

I take it that it now has pride of place in your music room? If so, how did you find time to write this post?

Ignore me, it's just jealousy talking.....hell of a bargain though

It appears there are two stories here? Both well written and they draw the reader in. The stories played out in my mind like a movie.

I will try playing it later as it's early morning. I notice though, you use the same chord progression in verse and chorus? So how do you picture the song? A waltz time or 4/4? Fast or slow? A rough recording would help. I find the writing impeccable.

A truly laugh out loud story, I read it out to Ann and she laughed too. I hope everything is OK now? It must have been an awful experience, but at least you got a great story might have been in a Charly Chaplin movie.

that's a relief Russ, as you told Zurf, i've bought mic's strings and stuff, even a drum kit (electronic) but not a guitar.

Sorry to hear about your disappointment, but it does make a good point about taste and try before you buy. I was tempted to buy  a Rickenbacker as per John Lennon (the black and white one) from an on-line shop, tried one in a local shop and hated it, that's when I bought my Telecaster, the very guitar I didn't want...so I thought. Well done for being tough enough to return it.

One hell of a rant, that guy is peeved!

When I bought my first guitar I also bought a book and picked up tips from friends. I don't rate myself as a guitarist... OK I think I'm tidy as a rhythm guy but as a solo guitar/vocalist, I like to throw in a solo or two and some twiddly bits to offset my boredom as I'm playing the same songs night after night. Oops sorry tangent time, back to the plot...

It annoyed me that after the guitar heroes came the punks then synths! What happened to learning your art?oops another tangent!

I never liked the flat neck on Gibbies, loved the crunchy sound and I love the acoustic sound, hated the price!!! You can do more with a Fender... all day long.

I'll be sad if Gibson's do go through but I won't lose any sleep over it.

thanx xxx
