It's nice. It's catchy but in a soft way. I' sounds like more than just you and a guitar. There isn't something in the background? I like how you don't worry about the lines rhyming.

Nope, just two tracks: one guitar and one vocal. I've never really liked rhyming stuff much, it sounds too often too forced. It's not that none of my lyrics rhyme but if they do it's accidental. :lol:

Thats so nice mate ...

I love the guitar playing

Bravo mate well done

You will have all the girls swooning now mate

Cheers

Trev.. :wink:

Wow! Very simple yet curiously complicated. I think that may be one of your best :D
Rock on :twisted:

Ewwww...
That's a keeper. It's definitely the prettiest song I've heard from you.

Can you tell me the chords and the order of the strings you're picking?
With those 2 things, I think (after 6 months of playing) I can do that one.
(And don't say it's some pentatonic scale thing because I haven't gotten to pentatonics yet in my lessons so it won't mean anything to me.)

Also, not that it means anything to me (yet) but what key was that in?
I just want to start keeping track of the key songs (that I like) are in.

Obviously I liked it enough to want to play it myself. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
Too bad I can't sing. The melody is beautiful. Maybe I can hum the melody once I get the guitar part down.
Put that song at the top of your portfolio or resume or whatever.

Thanks people, much appreciated!

Kenrogers: It's in the key of A-minor. The chords used are very simple: Am, C, Dm, Em, G

The verse is Am-Am|Em/B [x 2 2 0 0 0]
The chorus is C-Dm-Am-Am|Em/B
The bridge is Em-Am-Em-Am-Dm-G-C|G

In general you pick the bassnote, then the third, second and third string again. That's half a measure. The other half is the same but you take as first note the string above the bass.

Thanks.
I'll try it as soon as I get back to Miami.

Am and C. one of my favorite sounding chord pairs. very nice song. it is stripped down to its purest sense and yet it does not sound bare. very well done. very beautiful and sad.... (my other favorite pairing).

The verse is Am-Am|Em/B [x 2 2 0 0 0]
The chorus is C-Dm-Am-Am|Em/B
The bridge is Em-Am-Em-Am-Dm-G-C|G

In general you pick the bassnote, then the third, second and third string again. That's half a measure. The other half is the same but you take as first note the string above the bass.
Well, I got as far as the Am picking 53234323 (I assumed the 5th string in the Am chord is the bassnote)
From listening to the song, it seems you start off doing that 4 times
I'm lost because I don't see that anywhere in the verse, chorus or bridge.

And to further show you my ignorance, I'm not sure what Am|Em/B means.
Em/B [x22000] is that the same as an Em without the G string fretted?
What's the | for? Does it mean repeat? (Is that why there are 4 Am chords?)
If not, there's the C|G thing- what's that?
In the Dm chord, is the 4th string the bass note? So you would pick 43234323? (43233232 didn't sound right)
In a G chord the 6th string is the bassnote, right? So 63235323?

Man, do I feel stupid.
I just picked up this guitar 6 months ago and wanted to play it . . . .
What have I got myself into?

The '|' means that one measure is split in two chords. Em/B means the usual Em chord without the low E string. So Am|Em/B means half a measure Am and half a measure Em/B. The Dm chord has the fourth string as first bassnote and the 5th string as second bassnote.

verse (repeat once):

[Am] [Em/B]
E|--------------------------------------|
B|-------1-------0h1-------1-------0----|
G|-----2---2---2-----2---2---2---0---0--|
D|-----------2--------------------------|

chorus:

[C] [Dm] [Am]

G|---0---0---0---0---2---2---2---2---2---2---2------2---2---2---2---0-|
