any guitarists want to do me a favor?

[Lithium381]

I need to somehow record a simple chord progression, but i don't have any means to, i have an acoustic guitar, but no way of getting it onto the computer.....anyone feeling generous and want to help a guy out? PM me or post here if you're a kind soul!

You know that you can plug headphones into your microphone jack and that'll work, right?

What chord progression anyway? (I'm a newb but I'll help if I can)

You may need a Mono adaptor or pull the plug slightly out of the jack.
BTW, the headphones may sound pretty good as a mic. Large Diaphragm and all of that.

Yeah, what chords? I don't have a mic, but I have headphones.

I had actually not thought of the headphones....then again my mic jack doesn't work! I had thought about that in theory, but had never applied it, maybe someday i should!

Anyway, here goes the chord progression, and the number of beats it gets, about 90 tempo , but a fairly peppy strumming pattern:


WAV is fine, but MP3 is prefered if you can do that!


Cadd9(1) C(1) Cmaj7(1) C(1) Asus4(1) Am(1) A2(1) Am(1) Em7(2) D(1) Em7(1) [C(1/2) Cadd9(1/2) G(1)]

repeat last part twice

Cadd9 = x32030
C = x32010
Cmaj7 = X32000
Asus4 = x02230
Am = 002210
A2 = 002200
Em7 = 022030
G = 320003

Err pardon my guitar newbieness, but what do you mean number of beats it gets? The number of strums or....?

BTW, that looks awfully similar to Creed's "What's This Life For" (the bridge I guess? I don't know the name of the part of the song) Starts at 2:15 through the song Of course not exactly like it but its similar overall

start counting sorta slow...1....2......3.......4(steadY) and each time you change numbers switch chords! hrm, never heard that creed song before, might have to check it out

Are you in any rush to do this? I might be able to record my brother playing those chords for you within the next day or 2.
