“Orphans of God” Avalon Piano and Guitar Chords
In my last music chords article on “Where Joy and Sorrow Meet,” I expressed my dislike for the new Avalon album, Stand. Well, I’m trying out Rhapsody and I’ve had a change of heart. There are three most songs that I’ve come to like. I’ve chorded another one of them.
Again, since the album was just released, there are no free chords online or for-pay sheet music available. I guess, I’ll be the first one in the world to make public any type of music transcription of this song! Yay, I’m famous! 
Enjoy!

“Where Joy And Sorrow Meet” Avalon Piano and Guitar Chords
I was excited to hear that Avalon just came out with their new CD, Stand, in January 2006. But, my enthusiasm fell when I heard the album. I was pretty disappointed and I’m glad that I didn’t buy it. I think their best ones were In a Different Light, A Maze of Grace, and Oxygen. I think Oxygen is when they began their decline.
However, there was one song in the CD that I really liked. It was the last song (Imagine that!), Where Joy and Sorrow Meet or just Joy and Sorrow. It has a great piano part and I wanted to play it. Of course, since the album was just released, there are no free chords online or for-pay sheet music available. I guess, I’ll be the first one in the world to make public any type of music transcription of this song! Yay, I’m famous! Enjoy!

Introduction to the Music Category
“I’m poor.” Sadly, this is a fact of life that most college students need to eventually accept. For myself, I’m a “starving artist” with no money to buy the sheet music that I want to play. In the past, buying sheet music was the only way for me to play the songs that I really liked. Later, in the midst of middle school and high school, I discovered chords.
The Mystery of Those Who “Play by Ear”
Have you ever wondered how people play with little or no material at all? “Playing by ear” is such a vague and elusive talent that I’m still trying to master (and discover for that matter). From my understanding, these people read chords or think of chords and then try to “make something out of it” on their instrument be it guitar, piano, etc.
On the latter, I’m very slow. It takes me about an hour to create decent (more than just your regular Tonic [C], Subdominant [F], and Dominant [G]) chords for a song when listening to a recording. But, I’m fast at reading written chords.
