Charles_Obscure Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Very nice, Charles Obscure! You play the acoustic beautifully! Nice control of the dynamics! I thank you!

Fan_S. Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 I see what you mean! Neil's great! I've only just lately come to appreciate him thanks to movie "Heart Of Gold", "Harvest Moon" and guitar instructor, David Hodge's notes about him. I've always appreciated the acoustic guitar talents of Neil's bandmate Stephen Stills & David Crosby.

Fan_S. Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 Ironbound/Fancy Poultry by Suzanne Vega¹ chords and lyrics ¹In the link there's a difficult chord to fret---"Fadd9". If you so desire, change the fingering of it to my version, easier on the fretting hand, imo. Plus it gives you the desired open G string in the chord. ↓ F add9 Chord E-_A-_D-_G-_B-_E *__|__|__|__|__| |__|__|__|__|__| |__*__*__|__|__| |__|__|__|__|___| |__|__|__|__|___| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BonzoLikeDrumer Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Hello all! I started working on some Christmas song's for my next gig's in late November and sometime in December. Blue Christmas Have a Holly Jolly Christmas Jingle Bells Rock'n Around the Christmas tree Little Drummer Boy It came upon a midnight clear Mr Grinch We wish you a merry Christmas Mr. Grinch is fairly simple with only a few chord's but the others have some more degree of difficulty but I'll manage, I got two month's to work on them. I don't know if I'll play them at the show in November but, the one's in December for sure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fan_S. Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 Hi everyone! Here's yet another excellent interpretation of Joni Mitchell's Hejira Love it when men cover Joni's masterpieces.

Fan_S. Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 Chelsea Morning by Joni Mitchell I do it in standard tuning. But Joni does it in Open D tuning. Lots of her songs are in that particular tuning. Comin' around to her way. haha. Sooo beautiful. I'm just discovering alternate tunings this year, thanks to Jimmy Page and Joni. I've three guitars, only one of them is in standard tuning. (I might purchase a "Taylor" guitar--I hear their necks can withstand many tunings. I might buy the custom Elixirs to go with it) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c5DYLYHlKvk&feature=related chelsea morning tabs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fan_S. Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 This Flight Tonight by Joni Mitchell (off of Blue) This performer's great. You have to tune your guitar to a variation of Open G (low to high--GGDGBD) That low G was a killer for me My poor sixth string! See Howard Wright's excellent notes on link below.

Fan_S. Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 ↑Wow, what a great cover! I wanted instant gratification. I looked the chords up on the internet and found them on "ultimate guitar.com" but the guitarist who tabbed it was missing a few chords, I felt. So I added them--namely the E and F#m. But thanks to that transcriber anyway, for getting me off to a good start. And many thanks to the maestro and his young musicans! Any corrections? Please let me know so I can make the adjustments.

Fan_S. Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 I'm currently figuring out an "EZ" piano arrangement version of this beautifully performed piece from the Middle Ages. So far I've scored about 12 measures. It's slow-going LYRICS: There Is No Rose Of Such Virtue 1. There is no rose of such virtue As is the rose that bear Jesu; Alleluia. 2. For in this rose contained was Heaven and earth in little space; Res miranda. 3. By that rose we may well see That he is God in persons three, Pari forma. 4. The angels sungen the shepherds to; Gloria in excelsis deo; Gaudeamus. 5. Leave we all this worldly mirth And follow we this joyful birth; Transeamus.

Starbreaker Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 A few months ago I bought songbooks for the first two Metallica albums (Kill 'Em All and Ride The Lightning) and have been working the songs on those. If I get frustrated with one, I just move on to another. Also I've been trying to learn Am I Evil? by Diamond Head, Blitzkrieg by Blitzkrieg, Hollywood (Down On Your Luck) by Thin Lizzy, and for the fun of it, One Love by Bob Marley.

He brings us no shame. We al-ways knew That he al-ways knew." (This song uses "California Kitchen" tuning. Not sure why they call it that. It's a very intriguing sound, esp. with that low bass C. Reminds me of harbor bells. Also, some of Joni's other songs use it, e.g., "Ladies Of The Canyon", "Just Like This Train" from Court & Spark, & "Coyote" from Hejira) tabs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fan_S. Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 Early Mornin' Rain (as covered by Peter, Paul & Mary) Words & Music by Gordon Lightfoot (capo on 3rd fret) (Use Travis picking)¹ In the Gearly morning Gmaj7rain, Dwith a Am7dollar in Bmmy Ghand And an Gaching in my Amheart and my pockets full of Gsand I'm long way from Amhome, and I Dmiss my loved one Gso. In the early morning Gmaj7rain,D--and Amno place Bm to Ggo. C, G ¹This edited, new tab (↓)shows a variation of Travis pickin for the B♭(barre) & B♭maj7 chords. Wish it were like Peter's & Paul's. Again, keep in mind that the capo is on 3rd fret. So the G shape you play with the capo on, is really a B♭chord. Likewise for the Gmaj7, really being a B♭maj7. Hope I'm making sense. Sing "F" note.

Fan_S. Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 Hi, sorry, here's (↓) a much better diagram of the guitar picking, a little closer to Peter's & Paul's. The last two measures are Cm, by the way, with hammered-on Eb to F notes. (I didn't know how to create the "hammer-on" text yet)The fret numbers are not relative to the capo.Just use the chord shapes (G, etc.) in my above post when you have the capo on Fret III.Again, sorry. Hope you enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fan_S. Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 Okay, that's it! I promise! This is easier to follow. Capo on 3rd fret and follow the "G" shapes as indicated. (↓) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
