I was shocked at that price as well.

OMG - he plays it with such ease... its like the guitar is a part of him. That was really good
I also loved the small child playing the drums in the back - cute!

I can't speak for Donnieclark, but your explanation just cleared up a lot for me.
Although one question I still have - One volume knob says " Clean " - the other says " Overdrive " - What is the difference ?
I have a Marshall 15 amp and I have struggled to find the right settings. This helped a lot.
I also have a 200 A Fender Frontman that I got when I bought my first electric guitar - I had no clue what I was buying. It puts out a lot of sound. Great for playing in my backyard - keeps stray cats and critters away - used it as the sound system for music at an outdoor party, but not too useful in my house though 
my wife doesn't really appreciate it.
Now all I have to do is get Russell to come down and show me how to use my Trio !!
I'm a complete dunce with the electronic components ! 
Thank You TF

Topic: Fly Away (3 replies, posted in Songwriting)
I've had the opportunity to watch the Special Education teacher in our school work with her class over the past few months. She is so vibrant, loving, and caring for these kids. I've been a teacher for 40 years, and I can tell you she is a very unique and special teacher. Yesterday as I was in her room I just was amazed about how she helps these high needs kids in so many ways. So last night I wrote this song as a tribute to her and all of the teachers of special needs children. I tried to write it as a voice of the children in her class.
Hope you like it.

Wow ... that's powerfully-written high-calibre stuff, TIG. Reminds of something the late great Leonard Cohen might create. Beautiful!
Thank you TF ! To be even casually mentioned with the name Leonard Cohen blows my mind. 
I really do believe it to be true though, we were so fortunate to have such great poets and songwriters that took incredible stands, on important social issues. Today it seems that not many do because they are afraid of the PC backlash.
I really am hoping for and looking forward to a Graham, Phill, or someone else's version because my voice and playing sure ain't gonna make it
Thank you so much for your kind words Rick!

This is just amazing TIG you are such a talented writer. Quite close to me we have a pub called The Dead Poets, and once a month theirs a meeting of The Dead Poets Society where talented poets and musicians showcase their latest works. This would raise the roof. Great work.
Keep It Real Thank you - That would be awesome, I'd love to get it to them. Is there a website they use ?

Thank you for your kind words.
I am looking forward to Graham's version (or anyone else if they so choose to).
this is the link to the chordpro version which I think is easier if you want to print or transpose keys.

Topic: Land Where The Poets Died (11 replies, posted in Songwriting)
I've been working on this for about a week or so. I think I'm pretty close to where I like where it is right now. (I'm sure it needs some tweaking)
I was thinking back to all the great poets and songwriters that used to standup for people and shake the sh*t out of people's conscience. Doesn't seem that we have that anymore - hence this song. Hope you like it
[song]
{t:Land Where The Poets Died}
[C] [Em] [F] [G] [C]
do you
[C]remember when the world had it’s conscience [Em]wakened
[F]when poets dared to speak words others had [C] forsaken
[F]with choices to make and chances we thought worth [C]taking
[G]hoping that change could be a miracle in the [C] making
Chorus
[Am]They spoke of justice and freedom in an unkind [Em]world
[Am]Cried out in a voice that would not be de[Em] nied
But [F] in the shadows of time those verses have faded a[C]way
And [G]now we’re living in the land where the [F]poets voice has [C]died
[C]Words that healed, and somehow seemed to [Em] last
[F] words that changed our lives in a world so vague and [C]vast
[F]Defiant voices that put new colors upon our[C]masts
Our [G] champions of hope, fighting to fix the wrongs of the[C] past
Chorus
[Am]They spoke of justice and freedom in an unkind [Em]world
[Am]Cried out in a voice that would not be de[Em] nied
But [F] in the shadows of time those verses have faded a[C]way
And [G]now we’re living in the land where the [F]poets voice has [C]died
[C] truth spoken with the power of a rolling [Em]tide
[F] With strength in their voices and anger in their [C] eyes
[F]They would not be silenced, though many, many had [C]tried
But [G]now it seems we’re the land where the poets [C] died
Chorus
[Am]They spoke of justice and freedom in an unkind [Em]world
[Am]Cried out in a voice that would not be de[Em] nied
But [F] in the shadows of time those verses have faded a[C]way
And [G]now we’re living in the land where the [F]poets voice has [C]died
[G]now we’re living in the land where the [F]poets voice has [C]died
