Hey Zurf - Yep, it sure has gone through some changes. I sure wish it could have stayed the same as you remembered it but it changed and I don't see it going back the way it was any time soon. I don't like the traffic but I do like the people I live with as well as work with. It is pretty easy to get away when I want to and for me that usually means heading west to the mountains.

Thanks Reb - Yep my town is not near like it was when I moved here back in '97. Seems like yesterday too. It was going to be Disney America just before I got here but the locals fought it so it would not "be overflowing with people" and now it's growing like a wildfire of people and new buildings.

Topic: Help Me Doctor Phil (3 replies, posted in Songwriting)
So I just got through checking out guitardocphil’s song The Freshman, which I liked by the way, and I got to thinking... Like a light bulb went on in my head: Doctor Phil for guitars. Now I get it. So I was thinking some more about how to use that in a song and this came out. It is true that I want to play better this year but in the song, not in real life, I blame my guitar when I know it is the person behind the guitar, AKA me, who is responsible for the sound. So here it is and I hope all of you like it. Phil, I hope you don't mind but I like chords you used in The Freshman so I kind of used them in this but a bit differently.

[A]Help me Doctor Phil
I don’t know what to [A7]do
My [D]guitar don’t seem to want
To do [A]what I [E]tell her [A]to
Verse 2
[A]I treat her oh so nice
But she just seems to re[A7]ject
[D]All my renditions
Come out [A]not as [E]I ex[A]pect
I’ve [E]tried to treat her nicely
I’ve [G]tried to treat her [A]mean
But [D]my guitar don’t seem to under[E]stand
[E]It’s like the way I want to play her
[G]Doesn’t mean a [A]thing
Oh [D]Doctor Phil please help this guitar [E]man
Verse 3
I [A]think of all these stories
With these so sad melo[A7]dies
And they [D]come out sounding something more like
A [A]dog that’s [E]scratching [A]fleas
Verse 4
So I’ll [A]write something more cheerful
And that don’t work at [A7]all
Playing [D]happy music on her
Just [A]makes her [E]want to [A]ball
I’ve [E]tried to treat her nicely
I’ve [G]tried to treat her [A]mean
But [D]my guitar don’t seem to under[E]stand
[E]It’s like the way I want to play her
[G]Doesn’t mean a [A]thing
Oh [D]Doctor Phil please help this guitar [E]man
Verse 5
So [A]this year I've determined
To come up with a [A7]plan
That [D]my guitar will obey me
And not just [A]sit there [E]on her [A]stand
Verse 6
[A]It won’t happen over night
But only time will [A7]tell
If [D]she can change her ways
And my [A]playing [E]won’t still [A]smell
I’ve [E]tried to treat her nicely
I’ve [G]tried to treat her [A]mean
But [D]my guitar don’t seem to under[E]stand
[E]It’s like the way I want to play her
[G]Doesn’t mean a [A]thing
Oh [D]Doctor Phil please [E]help this guitar [A]man

Hey Phil - I think I would have to hear it to get or understand how you mean for your song to sound but I do like the chord progression you have here, especially the A7, to D to Adim ...nice. The story told by your lyrics is one I can relate to both as a former freshman of sorts and a father of 2 former freshmen.
Thanks for putting this out for us.

Hey John thanks. I guess putting up with the little problems like urban sprawl is better than putting up with the big ones like no jobs.
I hope I get to visit your home country sometimes John. I like the look I've seen on all the travel shows. I'm big on mountains and there are lots of those in New Zealand I hear.

Thanks you guys.
John, the chords fit pretty well so try giving her a ride.
Toney, I'm not sure where the idea came from. I guess it was related to me not doing too much with myself until she came along.
Lena, I truly think having the good fortune of meeting her made me a better person and the even better fortune to have become her husband, well what can I say other than I'm a lucky guy.

Topic: Number 47 – A Regular Fortune (4 replies, posted in Songwriting)
In October, some of you may remember that my family and I went to Japan. One of the places we visited was the Asakusa Shrine(http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e3004.html). One of the tourist type things people do there is buy these little fortunes which I bought and ended up getting what was called a regular fortune. If you get a bad one you can tie it to a tree and the fortune goes away but if you get a good one then you keep it. Regular ones I guess you can give it back too but I kept mine because my life has been regular and fortunate with no big windfalls or tragedies just a regular life that I’m happy to say suits me just fine. Sorry to make it so long but it was a story so I had to finish it. Hope you all like it.
Number 47 – A Regular Fortune By Jeff Gilpin
January 7th, 2008
Intro
[Em]
Verse 1
[Amaj7]In an ancient temple
[Cmaj7]Visiting an ancient land
[Amaj7]I purchased my fortune
[Cmaj7]From this ancient stand
[D]Number 47
[Amaj7]Regular Fortune it said
I [Cmaj7]Didn’t understand it
In English on the back I [A]read
It said your [D]fortune is not special
It’s [A]plain and ordinary
But [D]just because it’s plain
Doesn’t mean it’s [Em]scary[Amaj7]
Verse 2
[Amaj7]Though you may want it now
Like [Cmaj7]waiting for a holiday
[Amaj7]Wait try and be patient
It will [Cmaj7]come with a slight delay
Like [D]hiking through the mountains
[Amaj7]It takes work and time
But the [Cmaj7]journey and destination
Makes it well worth the [A]climb
Your [D]fortune is not special
There [A]are no short cuts here
[D]Hard work, patience
And good people to help [Em]steer [Amaj7]
Verse 3
The [Amaj7]request you most desire
Will be [Cmaj7]recovered later on
Like the [Amaj7]moral of a fairy tale
The final [Cmaj7]chorus of a song
[D]You’ll find what you have lost
And [Amaj7]you will find it soon
It’s [Cmaj7]where you last remember
Tucked away in your [A]room
Your [D]fortune is not special
Neither [A]is it one to dread
Your life [D]will be long and happy
Smoothing sailing [Em]ahead [Amaj7]
Verse 4
A [Amaj7]new home might be worthwhile
Or [Cmaj7]tear an old one down
It’s [Amaj7]good to take a trip
[Cmaj7]To some far off town
Don’t [D]worry about your marriage
Or your [Amaj7]place of employment
[Cmaj7]Better to live your life
Savor every mo[A]ment
Your [D]fortune is not special
Not [A]special is still just fine
No [D]worries for tomorrow
Enjoy this gift of [Em]time [Amaj7]
So I [D]thought about my fortune
The [A]one I had just read
It [D]made me stop and wonder
Then had to [Em]catch up with my family up on a[Amaj7]head

Re: Actions Don't Lie (4 replies, posted in Songwriting)
Thanks for all the comments.
Hey Reb - For the FMaj7 try this: xx3210. I suck at the barred F chord (well I suck at most barred chords for that matter) so I use this cheater method. It has a similiar sound and is too difficult for me to play (easy transition from a C) so feel free to use it if you like. It works for most songs with an F and has a quite pleasent sound I think.
Hey Paul - I need to get up to speed on the whole video side of computers. I will give it a go sometime but recording takes an awful long time as it is. I'll switch to video some day I guess but not any time soon.

I sometimes have a problem with thinking one thing and when I go to say what I’m thinking I mess it up. This song is about that and how doing things will get your point across as good or better than saying them in the long run.
Actions Don’t Lie By Jeff Gilpin
January 4th, 2008
Verse 1
A [C]slip of the tongue
A [G]simple mistake
The [FMaj7]best of intentions
Are [C]hard to unmake [G]
Verse 2
[C]A pilot error
To the [G]lips from the head
Can [FMaj7]mix up the meaning
Make you [C]wish you were dead [G]
[FMaj7]Words may fall short
But [C]actions won’t lie
What[G]ever the reasons
Or [C]how hard you try [C7]
[FMaj7]Words don’t always convince
[C]Maybe you shouldn’t even [FMaj7]try
[C]Just remember [G]
Action don’t [FMaj7]lie[C]
Verse 3
[C]Some are quite gifted
With an [G]eloquent tongue
While [FMaj7]others are better
At [C]getting things done [G]
Verse 4
So [C]if words escape you
At the [G]end of the day
[FMaj7]Convey your message
In a [C]more active way[G]
[FMaj7]Words may fall short
But [C]actions won’t lie
What[G]ever the reasons
Or [C]how hard you try [C7]
[FMaj7]Words don’t always convince
[C]Maybe you shouldn’t even [FMaj7]try
[C]Just remember [G]
Action don’t [FMaj7]lie[C]
Verse 5
[C]Saying I’m sorry
[G]Saying you care
Is [FMaj7]not quite the same
As [C]just being there [G]
Verse 6
Do [C]someone a favor
[G]Fix what’s not right
They’ll [FMaj7]eventually get it
And [C]may see the light [G]
[FMaj7]Words may fall short
But [C]actions won’t lie
What[G]ever the reasons
Or [C]how hard you try [C7]
[FMaj7]Words don’t always convince

[Dm7]
Verse 1
What [C]she means to me isn’t easy to see
Except when I look in her [FMaj7]eyes [Fadd9] [FMaj7]
Oh [C]I may complain when she drives me insane
But just one look from those [FMaj7]eyes [Fadd9] [FMaj7]
And I’m [Dm7]lost
I’m out of [Am7]control
[Dm7]Lost
To the depths of my [Am7]soul
Oh the [Dm7]cost
I would pay a kings [Am7]ransom
To be [Bb]lost forever
In [B]the [C]seas of those [Dm7]eyes
Verse 2
[C]Don’t get me wrong our life’s not a song
We still have our ups and our [FMaj7]downs [Fadd9] [FMaj7]
[C]Yet I can say that at least for today
I’ve managed to keep her [FMaj7]around [Fadd9] [FMaj7]
[Dm7]Together
We survive it [Am7]all
[Dm7]With her
My life is not [Am7]small
[Dm7]With me
She has but to [Am7]ask
With [Bb]one look
From [B]the [C]depths of those [Dm7]eyes
Verse 3
[C]The years have gone by and yet I still try
To steal every glance I can [FMaj7]get [Fadd9] [FMaj7]
I [C]know she’s aware though I can’t help but stare
At those eyes I will never [FMaj7]forget[Fadd9] [FMaj7]
She [Dm7]smiles
When she catches my [Am7]eyes
She [Dm7]laughs
It’s no big sur[Am7]prise
And she’s [Dm7]got me
Through the end of my [Am7]days
I see she [Bb]knows
