Both sets from my set at todays CND Festival at Saltaire Victoria Hall
each set contains a cover of a song written by a Chordie member . Joe and Brian thanks for writing these great songs they went well .
Those look pretty good ... I had to scrub through, so will have a better listen this evening!!
Cheers

Is it possible to download songs from here in Chordpro format? This is the full reason I am here. Want to create a huge list of songs to play, and jam to.
I use the view icon, select the eye icon, then copy -> paste to a local program, which is ok for singular songs, but if you want a whole swag, you're better off getting something like the OLGA archive, available here: https://archive.org/details/olgaarchive - the problem you will hit with that (as I did), there is lots of really bad versions and lots of songs (and bands) you've never of ... then you need to weed out the junk ...
Good luck!
Cheers
Richard
Hope you like it https://soundcloud.com/graham-windle/to … ever-comes
That sounded pretty good, pity it never got the attention it deserved!
Cheers
Richard
Nice little tune you got there, very meaningful in today's world!!
Cheers
Richard
Enjoyed the song, left a comment on SC as well.

Will the word today count
I think it should .... we're pretty relaxed on the rules ![]()
Cheers
Richard
That was pretty good - enjoyed the groove you got going!!
Here is an entry from me that has the word day in it, Today is the day:

OK - sorry I missed October but here is a song I wrote.
This pretty much is about my wife and I
I am going to post under songwriting as well - I hope its ok.
Yes, you can enter the FSOTM even after the month has completed ... I did a quick check, and I couldn't see the words aligning with the November FSOTM, but it would be possible to add it there if some words were changed (and you were so inclined!)
Cheers

For December 2025, we are looking for suggestions for songs that fit around the Christmas theme - comedy, serious, religious, or family can be included, as long as it stems around the Christmas theme ... please feel free to make any suggestions and we will make some music as the end of the year approaches!
Let's hear those suggestions!!!
This month we have a selection of random words to be used in a song; you can write or record a song which uses one (or more!) of the following words:
available
dirty
deputy
selection
day
security
deny
funeral
Ready, set ... GO!!

Thanks!! A while ago I traded my Zoom R24 recorder up to a Zoom L-12 recorder (you can see it on the desk in front of me in a few songs), which allows me to record tracks individually - so the guitar is on one track, the vocals on one track, the keyboards on one track - then I run it through Logic and tweak each track and balance everything out. It's a bit of a process, but something I enjoy playing around with ...
For the video, I've just got two iPhones on stands; when I've completed the audio as above, I drop that and the two iPhone videos into iMovie and use some Ken Burns effects and cross blur and things like that ... it's another thing that you get better at the more you use it.
Cheers

Oh how I wish I lived closer to you neophytte, to learn about all this stuff from you. I am such a novice with all this stuff.
YouTube is a great source of info these days, even when I had the R24 there was a bunch of "how to's" for it .. the rest is experimentation ...

For the older one, were you using backing tapes or a looper??
I was chatting with someone the other day and I'd forgotten I'd put this up a while ago from 1995: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pVnirXS … ;index=108

neophytte, sound quality was of the era, but I totally got the vibe
Wish I had gotten into music when I was younger rather than in my more mature years lol, wonder where it would have led .......
You'd be sucking back on your Pina Colada in your multi-million dollar mansion, of course!!
Cheers
Richard
We remember you ... sorry life has thrown you a rough time to get though, I hope you come by more often ...
Cheers
Richard
your solo strumming sounds great Richard
Thanks - that was long ago!
Cheers
Richard
Anyone else like to add some words?
Cheers
Richard
richard the old vid was using prerecorded loops into a boss rc3
I wish I was that imaginative, I just did solo guitar strumming: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hIy4B2SPLvM
the second one is on a zoom camera ,The pub is a huge building and the the area we were in makes a great stage it was acually quite busy but it was a lunch time gig so not packed
Cool - camera illusion ...
Cheers
Richard

That was pretty good, in a lot of places your guitar playing seems to me to be better than I remember .. more confident and solid!
Cheers

Note you don't need to pick the four in the first generation, any four will do!! (ie you can cheat to add words you'd like to see
)
Look forward to reading what you all RANDOMLY SUGGEST.
