Hi Daddycool,

Nice theme, and insight, into a natural phenomena. This one I played two bars per chord as a slow waltz but would love to know how you see it played.

Well done,

Roger

Hi Amy,

I would love to hear a recording of this as I struggled a little with the phrasing when I just gave it a run through, but just lyrics and chords is often like that. I really want to hear how to should be so get to it girl .

Well done,

Roger

Hi Guy and welcome to Chordie,

I have moved your post here to the Songwriting section where it belongs.

If you read the 'Sticky' "How To Post An Original Song..." by James McCormick at the start of this section you will find out how to post your own songs with the chords so that they can be printed and others can comment on your work.

Do not worry if it does not come out right the first time you try it as the Moderators can correct any mistakes you make and let you know anything you do wrong. Because it is a specific was of writing everything has to be spot on for it to work and most of us have not got it right the first time.

I look forward to seeing and playing your work.

Roger

I have a desktop and 2 laptops, in the last 12 months I have logged on to Chordie with all of them and at from at least 6 other PCs here in Portugal and in the UK, all with no problem. The problem is with your new laptop, the only thing I can suggest it the you make sure that Chordie is in your 'trusted sites' and that your firewall is not blocking your access.

Hope you get it fixed,

Roger

Hi Chris,

No question is stupid and this is a fascinating question! Although it cannot tell you what key you are singing in it can tell you what note you are singing. I have have never thought of this before so I just collected my Boss TU-80 out of the car and if you sing a note it will tell you what it is (and show you if you are sharp or flat ).

Because the vocal range of songs do vary I find that although I sing the majority of songs in G, I have some songs that I have to sing in A, Bb, C, D, E, or F to comfortably suit my voice.

So there is not an easy answer to finding the right key, but I suggest that you record yourself singing a song and then, using a capo, try it in different keys and listen to the results as to which sound best and which you find comfortable with.

Roger

It is great when your kids exceed your expectations of them, you have every right to be chuffed. Tell him "well done" from me, it is more than I can do.

Hi Parrot and welcome to Chordie,

You can also change any song you want into the key of A by using the transpose button to the right of the song.

Roger

I would guess that the fifth then the second minor is played. So in the key of G as used earlier; fifth is D and the second minor is Am.

I would also sugesst, because of the spacing that perhaps the duration of playing these chords is half that of the others.

Roger

Thanks Marcalan, Stephanie and Chris,

Today I removed the last of the strings and then removed the neck to make it easier to work on. I drilled and dowelled the top of the headstock and then glued and clamped her and have left her overnight to dry. I have found, and ordered, some ferrules on the Internet that should solve the problem of the centre support for the machine heads so the final rebuild will not be until they arrive.

Hi Mark,

Keep this link in your favourites for the future: http://www.all-guitar-chords.com/chord_name.php

Here you can mark where the strings are played for the chord name and in the 'Guitar Chords' you can find the chord shape from the name.

Pleased to be in the club .

Roger

Why not look in the Public Songbooks under Absolute Beginners? You should find plent of 3 chorders there and you can transpose them if need be to G.

Also look to the songs with 4 chords in to give yourself a new chord to learn as a way of increasing your chord knowledge.
