I am sure the only budget cuts we will see in the future will come from our wallets.

Just one of the problems we face when we play with a better guitarist, which is most of the time for me.

Re: What song are you working on (31 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
I have also been dabbling in Wild World and Everybodys Talkin like Zguitar and Zurf. Hey Bushy, pretty neat song huh? As you can see, you don't have to be very good to do the YouTube thing. And it is a lot of fun. I am learning a lot about myself, just watching me back. For instance, I tend to sing lower than I think I am and I also tend to sing slower than I think I am. Watching these back, I find I can make adjustments for some of the things I am doing. It can all only make me better, I hope. Give it a go Bushy.

Re: What song are you working on (31 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
I tried the capo. To keep it high, but within my range, I have to capo the 4thh fret. This puts the intro too far up on the neck (12th thru 15th fret) which is difficult without a cutaway. I've tried lowering the chords but that messes up the intro. I'll get it. Thanks toots. I just tried all these after reading your post.

Re: What song are you working on (31 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
I am working on Pancho and Lefty by Willie Nelson, but having trouble getting the intro smooth. And also working on Harvest Moon by Neil Young. Got the intro on that one down, but having trouble singing as high as it needs to be. I sing it down an octave and it is too low.

Re: Unable to copy songs into songbook (4 replies, posted in About Chordie)
Instead of trying to copy from someone elses songbook, try going to songs or artists and find the song there and then copy it over to your songbook. I'm not sure why this can not be done from another songbook, but give it a try.

Way to go Russell. I love that song. As a matter of fact, I got the chords to it some time back, with the intention of learning it, but never got around to it. Good job.

Re: I want to record some covers (50 replies, posted in Recording)
Thanks Amy. I will check into those ideas for sure. I do know I have a long way to go. This is just a start, but I sure am having fun. I have learned a lot of things about my singing and playing from watching my videos. That's a good thing. And I do know now that it is easier to play in front of people than wait for that red recording light to come on. Sometimes it flusters me so much that I end up redoing the song about 5 times. That's nerve racking.

Re: I want to record some covers (50 replies, posted in Recording)
In an effort to make my sound better, I noticed that if I sing directly into the mic, it sounds better, or if I put the mic directly in front of the guitar, it sounds better. So far I am placing the mic somewhere in between, but I know the sound can be better. So, this brings to mind using two mics, but the PC will only recognize one or the other, if I am reading correctly. Keep in mind I am using a USB mic (they have come a long way and sound great). Is there software available that will allow me to use two USB mics? Or do I need a mixer. And will a simple mixer work well with the computer? I really want to do better, but I need help.
