Hi keano,
With eight chords you will be able to play a great number of songs and if you have managed that since Christmas you have done extremely well. I suggest that you find some songs that you really like and play them until you can change your chords quickly and easily. Start slowly and build up speed as you improve.

Hi Everyone,
I have just posted my new song "Warning" on the Forum. This is a song I started some years ago and never finished until now. I thought it was better to post it after Valentines Day, but pehaps it would have been better before.....
Roger
My latest offering is a tongue in cheek number entitled "Warning". It could easily have been called "Do As I Say Not As I Do". It can be heard on MySpace:

Hello nlh205,
Welcome to to the great Chordie site.
I think that the best place to find the beginner songs you are looking for is in the Public books. There is a section there for Absolute Beginners where there are 25 songbooks in which other members have collated the easier songs. I am sure that you will find in there something that you know and like.
Best wishes
Roger
Yes I liked the site, I spent ages trying to shake off that dratted <u>truebutfalse</u> though but it it just kept following my mouse pointer <img src="images/smiley_icons/icon_lol.gif" border=0 alt="Laughing">
I assume when it is finished you will have some of your own recordings posted there and if you perform the songs that are listed in your music section it will appeal to many people. Keep me posted as I, and I think a lot of Chordie members also, enjoy listening to non-professionals performing.
Roger
How could she be anything other than pleased. You should get breakfast in bed for at least week.
OK Thanks I have got it now. Lesson learnt 'don't assume everything starts with www'.
Best wishes
Roger
Hi BanjoEds,
I tried to find your site but ended up at Tripod which was a site selling goods for the home and business.
<a href="http://www.truebutfalse.tripod.com" target="_blank">http://www.truebutfalse.tripod.com</a> does not work.

Beautiful song James, I bet your Goddess was ecstatic.
I wholeheartedly endorse Ken's comments and I am looking forward to him performing it.
As a point of interest James, how long have you been working on this song to have with such a polished and professional offering?
Roger
PS A little aside for Ken. What on earth are bothies?
....next there will be a new song from James McCormick warning that the increase in clowns and buffoons in society is the forewarning of the demise of man!
Pete enjoyed your comments and says that his aim in life is to make people smile he added that the best way to be happy is to learn to laugh at youself.
Roger
Hi Ken,
Firstly the song is a true account. Pete did not dress for the song those photo's had previously appeared on the bigcharliepotatohead site.
To record I normally use Band-in-a-Box to create a backing track and then use a second hand Tascam Portastudio to overlay a second guitar and the oohs and ahhs. I then use this backing track and record my playing and singing over it for the final take.
Roger
I think that was James McCormick's suggestion of using the resouce section of www.bythechord.com but I cannot find the thread though.
I found it!
It is in Vintons thread in About Chordie dated 23 Jan 2007 titled "Font Size In Song Won't Permit Right Copying" and it is James McCorimick's reply of the same date timed at 23.02.

Hello everyone,
After giving you two sentemental love songs I have done something rather different.
I have just posted my new offering "My Friend Pete" to the forum. Pete has been my friend for 15 years and he came to me yesterday moring with this idea for a song. The idea was so appealing that I spent yesterday writing and recording it and today creating the video. Pete has approved everything as the project developed and is really pleased with the end result. I hope you enjoy it too.
Roger
I have just uploaded a new song to YouTube. Somewhat different to my other offerings I hope you enjoy it the URL is:

This song tell a true story; if you do not believe me check:
Roger
Congratulations James. It is about time, your help and advice is invaluable and it is time you got recognition for the amount of effort and dedication you put into making this site the great place that it is.
Roger
Hi bud wiser,
I have just played "My Little Angel" and I will second Ken's opinion I like your song too. A message from the heart, that's my kind of song.
Well done,
Roger
Older certainly, but wiser, now that is debatable.
I am pleased though that you are prepared to wait for the mike, I was not intending to be in a position to let you have it for quite some time yet. I was going to say that a photo of it with your name on will have to suffice but for some reason I cannot add an attachment to this message, so the sentiment will have to do for now. <img src="images/smiley_icons/icon_lol.gif" border=0 alt="Laughing">
Bit late I'm afraid but I have now been able to ad the photo
Roger
Hey I was not asking for details. To know that it went down well is enough.
Good luck
Roger
James, it may be a fun song but there is a lot of truth in there. So much so that as as soon as I leave Chordie I am going to record "My Last Refrain" then re-write my will and leave insructions for it to be played as I am wheeled to the furnace (I shall leave my microphone to you as thanks). <img src="images/smiley_icons/icon_smile.gif" border=0 alt="Smile">
Roger
I have just posted my song "I Need You By My Side". which is another love song.
I have also today remembered another song I was working on a little while ago that I was not happy with but with a sudden inspiration I think it might now go togerther. Some work for the next day or two I think. I'll keep you informeed.
Roger
This is the second of my quadrilogy (hope that is the right word) of songs for the love that never was. I have uploaded it on MySpace at URL:
http://www.myspace.com/rogerclive
Another good song James.
After reading Ken's comments I got out the denture fixative and practiced the phrase before I attempting to sing this one, it flows nicely and I do agree with the sentiment. How you and Ken keep coming up with these ideas I will never know. Songs about fleas!!! peanuts!! some lateral thinking is needed on my part I think.
I have to add that following your answer to my question about copying songs posted here I have been able to copy, print and sing the song in next to no time. Thank you again.
Roger
Thank you James,
I somehow thought that you would come up with a solution for my problem. I will give it a try at the earliest opportunity.
Roger
I have just found "Flabby-Assed Buffoons". The ideal candidate!
Hello Warren,
Welcome to the Chordie forum. I am not an experienced songwriter but I have just played though your song and then sat and re-read the lyrics and I have to say that it is very much the type of song that I have written, not that I write that many, but very emotional. I hope that this is not written from experience, although from the amount of feeling expressed I suspect it probably is. I think, particuly as this is only the second song you have written, that there is merit and potential in your writing.
Keep them coming.
Roger
