Hi Paul and welcome to Chordie.

If the action of your guitar is not good then fingering barre chords at the lower end (F, F#, G etc) will be easier than playing at the higher end (C. C#, D etc). This could be the reason for your difficulty. (By action I mean the height of the strings from the frets).

Roger

BTW you are confusing up/down and higher/ lower on your guitar. These words relate to musical pitch and not to the physical position.

I am extremely jealous as I would have loved to have been there as you guys obviously had a blast. Mind you it would be a bit of a treck from Portugal to get there (I need to win that lottery first prize ).

Do my eyes decieved me or is that a 12er hanging on the wall?

Great to see you having such a good time.

Hi John,

This should be in 'Song Requests' not in 'Music Theory', no doubt Jerome or Russ will move it for you.

That aside, although I cannot help with tabs but I do have the original music score for this song and can scan it and forward it to you if you are able to read sheet music.

Roger

I think that three posts in the Songwriting section, and some recording, is now called for .

Roger

Sorry for the slight deviation Pix.

My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Christmas 1958. Me on the left, my brother Colin on the right.

Proudly displaying our Christmas presents. A plastic, 4 string (metal), Elvis labeled guitar apiece. With them came pitchpipes for tuning, a simple songbook and best of all an "AutoChord". This was a plastic box that strapped on the neck with buttons to press to play the chords, this made playing our first songs so easy.

Hi Chrissie and welcome to Chordie,

Please, there is no need to shout.

If you open the song you want to print, halfway down the right side of the page, between 'auto-scroll' and 'chopro' you will see the 'print' button.

Roger

Thanks Dino but it is Daddycool's song really, I just tweaked it a bit .

Thanks too Ark and Butch.

Roger

Well Daddycool that was a bit of a shock for me when I came to Chordie this evening. I particularly liked this song when I first played it but felt I could improve it somewhat so I am pleased you like both my slight changes to your song and my recording of it.

I have uploaded it to 'Friends of Chordie': http://www.myspace.com/friendsofchordie if anyone wished to assault their ears .

Roger

Niel, you sign yourself out with the word "respectfully", however you have shown no respect at all to Phill.

You were politely asked to post your poems in their own topic and you chose to pollute Phill's thread with three more poems of your own. You were also advised that writing in capital letters is the written equivalent of shouting and considered to be both rude and bad manners, this you also deliberately ignored.

Do you really want to be welcomed into Chordie and your work to receive acclaim on it's own merit? If so you need to mend your ways.

As to the quality of your work. I for one have not bothered to read any one of your poems and will not do so until your attitude changes.

Roger

Hi Chris,

It sounds as though your songbook is 'maxed out'. There is a limit of 100 songs per songbook so you have 2 options: either remove some songs from your songbook to make room for new ones  or start a new sonbook.
