I thought I'd already replied to this...oh well! Sorry bout that.
I like this very much, your voice suits it perfectly maybe cos I listened to it on my tablet, I didn't find the guitar overpowering. I thought I detected some Bon Jovi in there? Listened to your other tracks, all covers, did you put your voice over karaoke tracks? Very good sound, I hope you'll put up more of your own self penned songs.
when i play a gig, depending if it's a club or pub i would wear a black shirt and trousers or jeans and tee shirt.
i'd never dress like the act i'm going to see, i'm a bit boring like that.
i used to love Leo Sayer in his clown days and i used to do a parody of him when i played in a band back in the 80's complete with make-up
it doesn't get any butter, but then it couldn't get much worse(tershire sauce) ....did i have to do that?...yes 
Epic work Peatle. You say it's in the Kiwi way to me it's in the "romantic" style all it's missing are the thees and thous you'd expect from Shakespeare. Can't wait for the Floyd version.
Info for Peatle.
Anything that's "pickled" in vinegar or acid we call eg pickled onions, pickled eggs, pickled cockles etc even tin coated copper for electric wires gets pickled in the process of plating. I believe Londoners enjoy pickled eels!!!!
Edited to correct predictive text
over pricing. i've walked into a music shop and looked at gibbies and thought mmmm that looks nice then i look at the price and my attention goes elsewhere. and i don't like the flat, fat neck...sorry

That is so bad I almost reported this post as offensive. Not Dilly Dilly
Quit gherkin me around!
Well you two seem to know your onions?
Congratulations Rick, welcome to mount Olympus!
Just remember we've all been through this stage, you can call it trial by fire if you like only you can make as many cock ups as you like and they still won't fire you, I'm testament to that.
Put your stamp on your forums and try not to piss the members off....too much. Most importantly don't piss Roger off...I dread to see his name on my emails
i'd never heard of it before so i had a quick look. it seems to be well laid out and professional and they want £60 a year for the services they offer. they bandy names about such as fleetwood mac and worryingly bram stoker??? i'd look into it a lot further before handing over your credit card details
hi richarg, welcome to chordie forums.
i always type my songs into my PC's office programme, then copy and paste into a new thread in songwriting. there are instructions there for transforming songs into chordpro to make them look purdy like?
i don't use songbook myself but i think that's for the convenience of putting other peoples songs for your easy access.
looking forward to seeing and hearing your songs
Thanks for that TF, I'd forgotten about Wishbone Ash, I have the Argus album on vinyl in my attic. Reminds me of the bassist in one of my bands years ago who loved them and actually sounded like them singing and every song he wrote...you get my meaning?
The less I'm doing the less time I seem to have...how does that work? When I get the time and hwyl I'll give it a try.
As the constipated man said...oooh that's a hard one!
Bad habits stem mainly from laziness, and I'm really lazy. I learn a song but if there's a bit that I can't quite get I put my own thing in and say I'm being original and putting my own stamp on it...all lies! Eg: the solo from Hotel California, the first 7 notes are from the record, after that I make them up as I go along...see originality?
I've seen people play an open E chord leaving the index finger free. Easier to get to the next chord if it's a barre chord. I don't, my index is on the D# ...see bad habit and I won't change it
Congrats on 3K. I've never paid much attention to the numbers before, I don't even know how much I have (till I look later) I've been here since 2007 and have learned a shedfull of stuff, spoken to really interesting people and worked with some fine writers and musicians. As you say; best site on the web.
I've thought long and hard about this one and I still don't know. I like my FX on the floor in front of me, it helps as they're all stomp boxes anyway. If yours are placed on top of your amp with dial up FX and a foot switch then yeh loop just watch out for hum and buzz. Pedal boards with set FX are best on the floor. It's all convenience really.
Only twice in my 56 years playing has anyone else string a guitar for me, both times when I bought a new one! Guitar that is! Only once have I allowed the techy tower it up reason being; I liked the way it played in the shop so why change it?
I once tried those plastic coated strings back in the 70s.....once!!!
30 dollars seems a lot for a set of strings though? Let me know how you get on...please
Sounds like my granddaughter. Thanks for putting that up Peatle it's brightened my day no end.
Well, I'm guessing that harks back to the days before the noose would snap the neck as the victim fell. They would slowly choke or get strangled or as was supposed to happen to Guy Fawks, cut down before death to watch their own intestines being cut out and placed on their chests. Ah the good old days? For less infamous offenders the would be hung and left hanging till the crows, rats, flies etc would pick the bones clean, were they dead by then? Who knows?
As to your little friends....maybe one has layed eggs in your skin?
I'm trying to think of a joke but I've failed...old age, you know?
Have you tried teatree oil?
all the above. great guitar sound for a dusty old axe? this is a song i often start my set with but you sound much better than me. nice one
William, my dear old friend....are you sitting down? I may have some sad news for you; my old computer died a very similar death a couple of years ago. It seems the power pack went out one day and never came back. have you smelt burning perchance? The power pack in mine gave off a smell, but instead of switching off and taking it to a techie I kept on trying which toasted the rest of it. Never mind, I got a brand new one built to my specification courtesy of my dearest.
I don't know if you get "Groupon" out there cos they have some great "used" HP PC's at a really small price.
All the best.
You can learn a lot from TV. I have seen many documentaries about Gallipoli and other wastes of life brought about by our so called leaders?
I think it was Haig who was in charge at Gallipoli, the ANZACS were meant to charge in after the bombardment ended keeping the Turk gunners heads down, but the bombardment ended early but Haig insisted they went in anyway! We all know the result. I don't blame the Turks I blame Haig who was safely hidden miles away from the killing ground. And he was the celebrated hero???? Give me strength
Hi Bill. You've most likely down loaded some stuff your PC didn't like and it's pouting! When this happened to me a while back i switched on and held down, I think, the F9 button for a few moments which brought up the blue screen that then gives options like safe start etc. If and when you get it up and running....first job has to be system restore. Take it back at least a month.
All makes of PC are different so what I've just put down could be total rubbish for yours. But good luck anyway. Love to Dondra
PS. You could always Google the symptoms and follow their instructions
I am almost moved to tears reading this. And I wonder if the greedy men that orchestrated that carnage slept soundly in their beds....I hope not!
I suppose you could argue that killing and warfare is the way of the human race, it's a wonder we haven't gone the way of the dinosaur?
You've captured in words a great story with feeling and eloquence. It must have been awful losing his brother, surviving the war only to die of TB later.
Some great songs from you and Jim today
Sorry I disagree, it's not the guns it's the evil men do with them. Take away the temptation and hopefully the evil will follow. As Jim asks; why allow anybody to keep automatic weapons? If you're a hunter one bullet should do the trick. A hundred bullets in a second will change your late meal to mincemeat.
Strong words Jim, and beautifully written.
love that last one TF.
my dad was a lorry driver and during school holidays i'd go with him for a day out, so when we got home one night he spotted a young girl in a mini skirt and out of the blue he says; mae goese honna mind lan i penol hi, roughly translated from the Welsh; that girls legs go all the way up to her backside, or words to that effect
My mother was a bit of a case when I was a kid, on my way out to play she once told me "you come home here dead and I'll kill you" ah the good old days?
I saw a comedian who joked "I change my underpants every week; I take them off, throw them against the wall and if they don't stick I put them back on"
