hehe if you need to go to all these places with your cam   nevermind then..
that's a cool way to have access to a guitar everywhere

I play a lefthanded one and I can't play on any guitar of my friends
guess your apporach would be cool

but for that, I bought me a harmonica;  my "very portable miusic making device" :p

[Rustic_Paul]

Have a picture of my guitar and bio on my MySpace page and high resolution photo in my forum if you're interested, link below.
Finally finished fixing it 2 weeks ago and it sounds sweet....the head is now a golden colour like the body and no string buzzing. They can have their $14,000 Martins, this one'll do me

Sorry, back on topic

[LievenDV]

nice;  and your "first attempt at songwriting" isn't too bad either !
it's very direct but idd very applicable to many many countries etc

[Rustic_Paul]

Thanks Lievee, much apreciated.

[LievenDV]

do you have the chords to accompany the song?

[Rustic_Paul]

Yes and no, all up here in the head. I don't write music, and can't read music, will be getting help with that but have some pretty strong ideas of what the song will sound like.

[LievenDV]

let's make it a contest

perhaps I'll give it a try to

how does it need to sounds... powerful or blluueezyyyy

[Rustic_Paul]

Yep, you win the cigar, it'll have music much like Canned Heats 'On the Road Again' Boogie type blues. Strong bass, chunka chunka drums and a nice touch of harp. Oh!, and in some areas, a strong female voice.
 
Gotta tell ya I feel so guilty with all this stuff in this Intro thread :? ....time to move it to a 'Songwriting' topic?

[LievenDV]

oh my you're right (again) guess i'm such a "fishwive"

My father, mostly - combined with seeing bands on TV. My Dad had an EKO Ranger acoustic (I think he still has it up in an attic somewhere), and he used to sing me and my sister to sleep on it. My sister and I finally badgered him into teaching us a few chords when we were about thirteen.
