Wow
Very talented.
There is way too much going on for me to even imagine playing like that. I have enough trouble getting one hand to stay on beat using one guitar neck. That was mesmerizing!
Such flexibility in the hands as well - I.ve got no shot at ever attaining that ! 
Great song.
Thanks for sharing

I totally agree with Phill !!!
Jealous,covetous,and envious are the three words that come to mind.
I did not know that Kingsman was a guitar Elvis used often. ( I love when I get an education from chordie posts!)
I looked them up on reverb - you've been given thousands of dollars of guitar value !!
I need friends like that too !!!
I am sure your friend knows how much you appreciate a great guitar and feels confident in placing them in your possession.
I will look forward to seeing you post some songs that were played by these beauties!
Thanks for sharing
and HAPPY CANADA DAY to all my friends living in the great North land!!

Topic: Almost revisited (4 replies, posted in Songwriting)
Heck - if Dylan can say revisited - so can I
I kept playing my song Almost and came to the conclusion that it basically sucked without a chorus.
So this morning I wrote a chorus to it.
It's a little long - but what the heck - it is a blues song.
It's just a song about someone who is so angry about giving all they had, and then being tortured by the failure of the relationship.
so here it is in it's eternity, I mean entirety

Re: Why can’t I move songs? (11 replies, posted in About Chordie)
That is weird.... I move songs all the time.
I just did it a minute ago to make sure it was working.
I just check the box of the song I want to move, then go to the little plus sign with arrows that says move song. choose the destination songbook, click OK and volia! it is moved.
I have no problem whatsoever doing it.
are you trying to move a song from one song book to someone else's? that might be a problem. I think it has to be from one of your own songbooks to another of your own songbook !

Re: Deleting a song from my Songbook? (1 replies, posted in About Chordie)
Heffreis
welcome to chordie
I am sure it was deleted.
That happens to me when deleting and adding.
One time I didn't think it was adding it, so I kept doing it. In the end I had about 50 copies of it.
Once you hit the delete or add button - just close it out and re- enter your song book - it should be added or subtracted.

Re: Girlfriends (41 replies, posted in Songwriting)
Beamer- left a message on cloud.
I am looking forward to the final version. It is always amazing how a song can transform by different genres.
My daughter was just in Seattle - she lived there for a while - worked as a PA in some orthopedic surgical place.
Her husband was stationed there in the AF. so they went back to visit. I loved the area when I went out there.
His family lives in Philomath Or. (Near Corvallis)
Are you from around there ?
I don't know if you follow baseball - but Oregon State ( Which he played for in college) is in the College Baseball World series - I'm enjoying watching them!
Thanks gain for the cover, buddy !

Re: Another great loss (1 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
It is a shame - way too young. The history of his life is a great read. I don't remember his brother being shot on stage - that must've been unimaginally awful.
It was interesting to read about their Dad who was a country songwriter influenced them and they ended up heavy metal.
At least now he can re-join the band with his brother and the others we have lost. Always a sad day to hear of these losses.
Thanks for the post Beamer

Once again your marvelous voice is terrific.
I do believe, as you said, that it would be much better if you could slow it down - the tempo you play at seems to happy for that song.
With that being said - it still was an excellent rendition - thanks so much for sharing.
