Guitar & Musician Forums

Well I live in the land of sushi and manga, but really from the states.
I enjoy writing my own stuff, because trying to play others is , well I never really could do it well enough. So I was just determined to do my own stuff with my ability. I'm just a player who sits outside in the evening and strums and picks, but I don't sing my songs out loud.

hope to meet you all and become friends

oh yeah, I should be retired, but have to keep plugg'n away to make an income



nice to meet you all


not sure how the smiles work, but lets all have fun

Hi to ya, Watermelonjohn- sounds like you live in a rural area, my impression is that urban Japan is way to much hustle and bustle for sitting outside and picking on a Tele

Hi and warm welcome to you.

Hi John and welcome

Thanks for the welcome guys

Yep, live in the rural area of Japan where it is peaceful. No hustle or bustle. Do need to by a Pignose amp for that tele of mine.

Where do you do your busking?

Actually I don't do any busking, but what I've heard from people that have tried it in the major cities, the income can be dang good. Those 100 yen add up pretty fast.


What I am doing is putting some effort into my songwriting to take to a commercial level. Well, one shouldn't give up hope.

I write country, pop (love stuff) and lyrics that have an international feel in their meanings. I've tried one jazz lyric song, but I'm still searching for the right chords to play it in. Has like a dream like feel to it. Any suggestions on chords that I could you would be appreciated.

thanks

Majior 7th and 9th's..?
...maybe as an intro run to set the scene- Cmaj7, C9, Fmaj7, Fm6, Cmaj7 again, D9, then a Bbmaj7 Abmaj7, Fm6 and Cmaj7?

Thanks aussie

I haven't tried it out yet, but it looks very interesting. Going to try some fingerstyle picking to it, that is how my mind imagines it

again thanks
