As you can see Adam has found his way home.

Seriously the avatars seem to have all been deleted in some way and they just need reloading.

Hello Johncross21,

We all have our different ways of getting out of a rut and it is interesting seeing the ways that others do it. Since I have been visiting Chordie my way is to go to the Songwriting section and find a song that someone has posted and give it a bash.

As the song is not known, all you have are the chords, you can put your own interpretaion of style, tempo and melody to it without any preconceived ideas. There is no right or wrong. At the end you have achieved something unique as I can almost certainly guarantee that your version will be completely different to the composer's.

James's "One OF These Days" has turned out to be one of my favourite songs and I play it regularly.

Best of all for me is Amy Sky. Her music is incredible.

Hello theclam,

May I welcome to you to the Chordie forum as this is your first posting here, although if you have a songbook you have been using Chordie a while.

In answer to your question - edit away. Any editing you do in your songbook stays there. It is available for others to see if you make it public but it does not alter the original song.

Alterations to an original song are only made by opening it and clicking on the 'correct this song' tab at the bottom of the page.

Hi David,

Although this is a little short and could benefit from from some extra lines, it is a very good effort for your first song. Mind you I do have certain reservations about someone who can get addicted to Big Brother

Well done and thank You

Roger

Hi Saba,

I spend a lot of time on Chordie so I do know that this is the first song you have posted. If you would like help to get the chords posted with this contact me on my e-mail and together we will get it sorted.

Hi Saba,

I am, I think, a little older than MHerbert, and strangely my early playing experience in the UK  is very similar to his in Canada.

This was during the 60's I think one of the big difference between then and now is that, in my day, if there was a dance to be held and it was going to be to records then hardly anybody turned up. If a live group (band) was playing then the dance hall was packed even if the group was only mediocre. There was therefore more incentive to form a group. It is a shame but nowadays nearly every dance is to records, they even invented a new name for it - 'a Disco'.

Roger

Happy Birthday PatrickJacques, I hope you have a good party.

I would like to second that admirable statement and add that the same applies to all the young contributors to the Forum.

Hi Saba,

I have sent to you privately my e-mail address and I will help you get your song posted if you wish.

Hi Badeye,

Maths is when you see that someone was born 5 years before 1955 and then calculate their age to be 60.

Single Malt is extremely fine whiskey that goes down like nectar but it does help to cause these miscalculations after you have had a dram or two.

I hope that this information is beneficial to your education and you are now up to speed.

Good health,

Roger
