    Hi y'all!
    
    Anyone got the words and chords to Van Morrison's "Tupelo Honey?"
    
    Would appreciate any help offered.
    
    Thanx ... Dan

    The chords are a snap (as I replay it in my head I only hear 4), and
    I'm pretty sure I know the words.  However, it might be simpler if I
    simply photocopy it from a songbook (I think) I have and I-mail it.

    Again, CC is playing in A Mixo, but has tuned his guitar down a
    half-step to "Ab".  The note (number) that has the ~ after it means
    to give it slight bend!

    If I'm not mistaken, I think the opening chord is F with the bass 
    note lowered to E, then regular F, then G.

    Message in a Bottle uses stacked 5ths in the chords giving a kind of
    ambiguous feel because there's no 3rd in it (just R,5th,9th), it's not
    straight majors.  Anyway, if I remember right, it starts on D.  Kind of
    like:

    Hi!
    
    Can anyone tell me who wrote/sings this song - I think it's called
    "Don't dream its over" and the chorus goes 
    
    "Hey now, hey now, don't dream its over" a few times.
    
    Does anyone know the song or the chords???
    
    
    thanks, Martin

    It's by Crowded House and I *think* it's called "Don't Dream it's
    Over".  I don't know the chords, sorry.
    
    Greg

    Chords to the verse are Eb-Csus2-Bb-G
    
    Edd

    I used to know how to play this one, but I totally forget the changes!
    All I know is the dude uses a LOT of Add 9 voicings ala Alex Lifeson!!
    
    

    Totally theory-less chord bits:
    
    7th fret, in the area of e:
    		
    --X--|------|-----
    --X--|------|-----
    -----|------|--X--
    -----|------|--X--
    --X--|------|-----
    --X--|------|-----
    
     then drop the B on the 3rd string, strum, add an A on the 2nd string
    (10th fret), and strum that.
    
    drop down to the 4th fret with that chord up there, strum some more,
    go to the barred Amaj., then to G#, and back up to The Chord on the 4th
    fret. repeat w/o the B drop-A add on the first chord.  Serves 6.
    
                                                         
                                
    

    Chords to the verse are Eb-Csus2-Ab-G
    
    Edd

    Hey now guys!! Thanks for the quick response!
    
    I'll try it tonight,
    
    cheers, Martin

    Sheeesh...another 3 chord monster...
    
    Every Rose has it's Thorn:
    
         G                Cadd9              D
    ===========       ===========       ===========
    | | | | | |       | | | | | |       | | | | | |
    | o | | | |       | | o | | |       | | | o | o
    o | | | o o       | o | | o o       | | | | o |
    | | | | | |       | | | | | |       | | | | | |
    2 1 o o 3 4       x 2 1 o 3 4       x x o 1 3 2
    
    These are the 3 chords in the song.  It goes G - C9 - G - C9 - G - C9 - G
    like forever...then it goes from C9 - D - C9  and back to the
    beginning.  Chorus goes:
    
    G - C9 - G - C9 - G - D - C9 - G - G - C9 - D
    
    Tough, huh?  Solo is in G Pentatonic major, with G Ioanian flirtations
    (ala the upper auxiliaries).

    Sunday Bloody Sunday:
    
       B-       D       G6

    g--4--------2-------o-------o---------
    d-------------------------------------
    a-------------------------------------
    e-------------------------------------
    
    The power chords later on are the same as above...B - D - G (G - A - G)

    I believe this cut is on the "Temple of Low Men" album.  Always
    makes me think of lo mein.

    Wasn't "Temple..." the second album, with "Don't Dream..." on the
    eponymous first?

    Right!  It was on their first album.

    re:WTW
    
    I guessed it was in C, so when I jammed I just noodled in C and just
    watched what the bass player was doing for the changes.
    
    I would very much be able to do it 'right' though, so if ever you come
    across the tab Greg, I'd be very gratful if you'd send a copy, but like
    I said, if the room is that bad don't go looking for i or we'll never
    hear from you again!
    
    Many thanks,
    -Tony

    
    	BTW, my thanks to the person who put it the Lola help.  Had an
    	amateur blues jam at my house last (no hot dogs!) and we were 
    	trying to figure it out and I remembered I had brought the note
    	home.  Worked out great.  Fun song.  We were foolin' around at
    	one point trying to think of what to play next and the next thing
    	you know, we're doing a extended jam on "Tighten Up".  I had such
    	a shit-eating grin while playing that.  Should be renamed to 
    	"Lighten Up".

Is there anybody here that could give me some clues (or even better the 
references of a transcription but I've found none yet) to play 'In the 
beggining' by Greg Lake on the ELP LP 'Trilogy'.


Thanks in advance,


Didier

    OOOH OOOOH I have a question...........
    
    Anyone know the beginning riff to "Walks Like A Woman" by Baton
    Rouge. OH...Pleeeze....Pleeeze.....Pleeze.... Just the notes would
    be fine if you don't feel like doing the transcription.
    
    I'll check back later.......Thanks.

    There's a couple of chords that are used which will make your life a
    whole lot easier if you know in advance. One is an Am9, if I recall
    correctly it's used something like:
    
    |---+---+---+---+---+---+-X-+---
    |---+---+---+---+-X-+---+---+---
    |---+---+---+---+-X-+---+---+---
    |---+---+---+---+---+---+-X-+---
    |---+---+---+---+---+---+---+--- open A
    |---+---+---+---+---+---+---+--- mute
    
    
    The other is something like a D13 (there's probably a better name for
    it). If I remember correctly it's something like:
    
    |---+---+---+---+-X-+---+---+---
    |---+---+---+---+---+---+---+--- open B
    |---+---+---+---+---+---+---+--- open G
    |---+---+---+-X-+---+---+---+---
    |---+---+---+---+-X-+---+---+---
    |---+---+---+---+---+---+---+--- mute
    
    If I had a guitar in my hands I could get it right for you. The rest of
    the chords are pretty straightforward.
    
    - Ram

    	Hey, Ram, is this an Am9 too???   I use this one in conjunction
    with a d13 to play a wicked easy two chord progression!!
    
    Am9??
    
    |---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---
    |---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---
    |---+---+---+---+-X-+---+---+---
    |---+---+---+---+-X-+---+---+---
    |---+---+---+---+---+---+---+--- 
    |---+---+---+---+---+---+---+--- 
    
    
    D13??
    
    |---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---
    |---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---
    |---+---+---+---+-X-+---+---+---
    |---+---+---+-X-+---+---+---+---
    |---+---+---+---+---+---+---+--- 
    |---+---+---+---+---+---+---+--- 
    
    
    I love these two because they make me sound real jazzy without playing
    those darn "love boat" chords that I see the real guitarists play!

    Can someone please help me learn "I'd Love to Change the World"?  I
    believe I have the chords to the verses but need help on the acoustic
    notes at the intro and on the chorus.   Pretty song.  Hopefully, this 
    has not been asked already.  
    
    Thanks,

    RE: .65  Emin  G  A  C     If I remember right.  It's been a long time
    for this song.  Climb on the 6th string from E to G, and on the 5th
    string from A to C.  Then drop the 5th string to B but leave the rest
    of the fingers for the C chord.
    
    Got it??
    
    Chris D.

    
    Not quite, but I'll give it a try when I get home.  
    
    Thanks,

    Hey Chris, I agree on the chords, but am having trouble understanding
    the the notes.  Could you post it in tab or send it to me (please, 
    please, please).

    Thanks,

    re: .64
    
    Yeah, those are useful inversions too (I use both a lot), but they're
    not the ones used in the song. The particular inversions give the song
    its unique flavor.

    Edd, once again I stand corrected.  Sorry about that folks.

    The new Guitar School is out.  It is a special on Hendrix.  It has 
    notation & tab for "Purple Haze" and "Manic Depression".  Other songs 
    include "Unskinny Bop", a song from the Red Hot Chili Peppers, and one
    more that I forgot.
    
    Mike

    
    	Mike, what is "Guitar school"?
    
    

    Guitar School is a Trade Mag published by Guitar World, which JUST
    features transcriptions to music...kinda like GW's answer to GFTPM.

    ...but it only comes out 6 times a year.
    
    Mike

    When did Jimi play "Unskinny Bop"?

    
    RE: When did Jimi play "Unskinny Bop"?
    
    He didn't.  It's scam that the talentless, worthless, substanceless
    "band" is putting out to sell that song.

    Talking of Poison, my rep gave me a copy of the new album a while back
    and I gave it one listen, and thought "Yuck!".
    
    Then, in the latest edition of GFTPM, they included a transcription for
    a tune called "Life goes on" and so I put the cd and checked it out and
    I was blown away by the solo. Its not the most technically demanding
    piece, but it does show off some of CC's chops, and there is one phrase
    about two thirds through the solo with those high bends that is the
    best thing I've heard CC play. The guys gone up in my estimations!!!

      Does anyone know the Paul Simon song
     Slip sliding away? I love the song but I dont know the entire

	and everyonce in a while you need to go G F C G after the chorus
	for good measure.

    I don't know the verses, but the chorus seems to me more like this:
    
	              G                  Em
	Slip sliding away, Slip sliding away
        	       G            D             C
	You know the nearer your destination the more you're slip

        This one sounded fun, so I took it home and tried it out.
        Keeping the same notation, try this out instead...
  
             F-Eb-G/D-E/B-F/C
             F-Eb-G/D-E/B-C/G-Eb/Bb

    Then comp on Fm7....

	Actually the 2 versions I have (Steely Dan, and Larry Carlton solo)
	are both a 1/2 step lower:
  
             E-D-Gb/Db-Eb/Bb-E/B
             E-D-Gb/Db-Eb/Bb-B/Gb-D/A
             E-A-Ab-G-Gb-B (this line sounds cool in Em with the G & B open)
             (BMaj7 over E - EbMaj7 over Gb - GMaj7 - AbMaj7)

re: What I Like About You

The chords seem right, at least that's the way we play the opening in my band.
The only difference is that I play it down at the open position. For the E part,
I just use the top three string (G/B/E) and play it like an open-D, but one 
full step up (like making a D at the 4th fret - makes the suspended part real 
easy to play.

alan

    RE: RE: What I like,
    
    	Yeah, for the E part I actually only play those same 3 notes, but
    	on the 9th fret, just using a first finger barred and my second
    	finger for the suspend (also easy). This makes for an easy
    	transition to drop down to the A chord on the 5th fret. I think
    	the A note (played on the high E string) is crucial in the A chord.
    	Check it out and let me know what you think. I don't have a copy
    	of the complete beginning, so I have to jump up and grab the guitar
    	when the Budweiser add comes on TV, in order to catch those notes!
    	Also I just recently noticed that the intro comes back in at the
    	end. It's tricky to sing the ending while playing that riff at 1st.

    Hello all,
    
    Ok I give up!!! I have been trying to work out how to play 'Ticket
    to Ride' and I know the chords (Courtesy of my 'Bumper Book of Beatles
    Hits') type thing.....F  Gm7  C7  Dm  Bb....etc.  What I can't fathom
    out is the picking pattern that they actually use when playing it!

    I am beginning to think that although you can play the above chords
    and strum along Ok that they are actually adding extra notes when
    they start picking?
    
    All help with be greatly received (especially by the other half
    who is fed up with the beginning 30 secs of Ticket to Ride being
    constantly repeated :-)
    

    I need help with the lead-lick in Free's "Takin' Care O Bizness"...
    I played the song in question in a band where the other guy played that
    lead part and never got a chance to learn it.
    
    It's the part repeated thru the song just before vocals jump in.
    Can anyone help ??
    
    jc (I think the first part looks like an upside down at the 11th fret)

re: .98

   "Free"?  If it's the song I'm thinking of, it's BTO (Bachman Turner
   Overdrive).  The only memorable thing "Free" ever did (if it's the 
   band I'm thinking of) was "All Right Now".

   But no, I don't have the tab for the lead in any case...  :-}

    Yeah, yeah ...  BTO...  Sorry...
    
    We did both of these songs PLUS Can't Get Enough Of Your Love.
    All identical chord progressions.  VERY confusing to a young pup

    one with the harmony lead in it...Right ?    ;)

I don't know it - I was just faking it. But shouldn't be too hard to figure 
out. When I pick up the guitar this weekend, I'll see what I can do....

alan

    Takin Car of Business...it's blues in "C", so go up to the 8th fret
    area and play that blues scale...shuold get you by.  I'll check it
    out and try and post a reply if noone beats me to it.

    The intro is just a standard guitar shuffle where you play a 5 chord
    and add a 6th with your pinky
    
    I.E.
          
    E    7 --  8    8    8     8
    A    9 --  10   12   10    10
    
    The hyphens mean you slide into the next chord
    
    Then eventually another guitar part comes in with a C7 like
    
    G    12
    B    11
    E    12
    
    This is from distant memory.
    
    I was in a band that played this song - it's very easy, but it helps
    to have two guitarists because there are two distinct guitar parts.

    If you have access to the record, just listen to it about 10,000,000
    times. I guarentee you'll be playing the lead parts in your sleep
    the way many of us old timers did back in 1974.
    
    This song was soooooo overplayed when it first hit the airways,
    it became a casualty of over-exposure.
    
    Mark 

    Dave, 
    
    Thanks...But thats the part I remember...  I know the rhythm and that
    first C7 (I *didn't* know it was a C7 though, THANKS AGAIN!).
    
    There is some single note stuff after that and then another chord and
    some more singles notes.  I'm totally brain dead on how it goes, and
    don't have a tape to learn it from !

Well, I don't know it in TAB. But I can give you the basic chord changes. 

Verses - D and A
Chorus - Bm, A, D, G
Break - F, Bb, C

That's probably rough, but it'll get ya started....

I agree except for the descending riff at the end of the last
measure. It'll be tough to make that work. But if the rest of it 
is done effectively, you can fake your way through that part without 
anyone taking much notice. Also, it's been a few years since I've 
listened, but isn't the base following the line too?

--rjb

    
    	Yup, the bass line does follow, but is pretty easy to keep track of
    	'cause of those great cascading (bass) fills between measures.  I
    	still would like to understand how to approach the intro to the song 
    	with chords.  I don't understand what y'all are explaining to me
    	yet.

Pat,

	This is not a song that I have played, but I remember buying a copy of 
Guitar Player (or similar US import) some 6 months ago and it had a complete 
transcription on Let it rain. I assume it is the EC recording you want!

Come to think of it, the issue was the EC special with him on the front cover.

This may not help you with your problem, in that it was likely to have shown a 
double guitar transcription, however I bet seeing it written down will give 
you some good double-stop ideas that will probably get you close to Eric's 
recorded sound.

I have the GP issue at home, so if you have any problems......

    re: "The Joker"
    
    You are correct about I IV and V being the only chords in the song, at
    least all I can remember of the song.
     
    I don't know the key for sure, but you could tell when you played along
    if you were incorrect.  ;^)

    Bob (this will be cross-posted in CVG::GUITAR)

    Time to put away the scales for awhile! ;-)  Here are some more 
    practical applications for anyone interested:
    
    "Ain't Talkin' Bout Love" - Van Halen
    
    Hint: this is easier when you fret an Am chord and pick around it.
    Here is the lick that runs pretty much throughout the song.  The chord
    change is Am to G (played on the open D, G, and B strings).
    
    ----------0--1-------3-----------------
    -----1---------1--------3--------------
    -------2----------2--------------------
    ---2-----------------------------------
    -0----------------------------3--2--3--
    ---------------------------3-----------
    
    "Sharp Dressed Man" - ZZ Top
    
    Here is the main lick for this song.  Hint: use your ring finger to
    fret the B string on fret 6 and middle finger to fret the G string on
    fret 5.  That way you can throw the index finger in on the 4th fret
    when you need to.  h = hammer, s = slide
    
    ----------------------------------
    --6--4-----6--4-------------------
    --5--5--5--5--5--5----------------
    --------------------------------5-
    -------------------------1-s-3--3-
    -------------------1-h-3----------

    Performance notes on "ain't Talkin..."
    
    ALL notes in the A-, F, and G arpeggios are muted with the right hand.
    the "g, c, b, c" notes at the end of the lick are the exception.  An
    MXR Phase 90 is on the entire time, with the speed set at about "4". 
    Eddie kicks in his MXR Flanger, set at about "6, 4, 4, 6" for those "c,
    b, c" notes at the end of the lick.
    
    Have fun...

        I'll give one a shot .....here's a simple rendition of the beginning

                   No idea about the changes, though, sorry.

The song is called 'From the Beginning'. I play it on occasion (I sequenced
it) with my Duo. If you are In Colorado Springs I'll be glad to show you
what to play. It was released in 1971. I bought the single, so I don't
know what Emerson Lake and Palmer album it's on.

A keyboardist friend of mine wrote down the full chords transcription for me.
As I suspect it can not be entered in a Notesfile, I will mail it you in the
middle of the next week. It's only in chords notation without the fingerings.

    Any chance of some kind person writing down the transsciption of "the
    boys are back in town?"I know its been in one of the guitar mags.
    recently but I haven't been able to get my hands on it.

    If you are gonna play it in A, then the chords you need are simple
    enough but there is one wierd chord it's a B minor but with something
    suspended.... I will mail it to ya, or if you would prefer I am

   Re: The Boys Are Back...

   It's in the current (March '91) issue of GFTPM.  

   -- Sam

    
    
       Is there a transcription available for VanHalens, hell...
    whats the title?  
    
       Well the chours is;   
    
      "That ain't the way to treat the broken hearted."
    
       Sounds like lots of fun to play.
    
       Rick.
     

    I think that's "Finish What Ya Started" from the "OU812" album.
    
    There is DEFINITELY a transcription book for that album that
    seems pretty accurate.

If anyone has figured out the guitar parts to Quensryche's "Silent Lucidity",
can you either post it here or send me mail? I'm looking for the acoustic
guitar part that is picked at the beginning of the song....

thanx in advance for any help!

    The new GFTPM has the transcription to Jimi's "Star Spangled Banner"
    from Woodstock!  
    
    Some Steve Morse and ZZ Top stuff in there too.
    
    Mike

    Does anyone have or know of an index by artist or song title for the 
    GFTPM transcriptions?
    
    The only index the magazine publishes is a chronological ordering of
    the issues and the songs contained in them which is almost TOTALLY
    useless if you're trying to find a specific song.
    
    I like the magazine but I think they have to be taking drugs to publish
    an index with the issue as the major key.
    
    I mean how often do you ask yourself "Gee I wonder what songs were
    covered in the August 1989 issues?"  instead of "What issue had this
    song?"
    
    	db

    I thought of this as well.  Maybe we should start a petition ;-)

       I've got a database in a Lotus spreadsheet of the last couple of
       years transcriptions.  I could put it up here in a
       comma-delimited ASCII format as a start...  Maybe you all can
       fill in some of the gaps.
       
       
       
       
       

re: Queensryche's "Silent Lucidity" 

I spent some time this past weekend working this out. The basic chord changes
are G to Em, then C to Am. The chorus goes D to C.

The beginning picking part is a G with a B on the high-E string, then moving 
the B down to an A. Then when it changes to an Em, add an F# and then a D (on 
the B string). I'm not too great at line art, but here's the basic chords I've
been using:

G with B
 -----------------
+| | | | | | |0| |
+| | |0| | | | | |
+| | | |0| | | | |
+| | | | |0| | | |
+| | | | | | | | |
+| | | | | | | | |
 -----------------
G with A
 -----------------
+| | | | |0| | | |
+| | |0| | | | | |
+| | | |0| | | | |
+| | | | |0| | | |
+| | | | | | | | |
+| | | | | | | | |
 -----------------
Em with F#
 -----------------
+| |0| | | | | | |
+| | | | | | | | |
+| | | | | | | | |
+| |0| | | | | | |
+| | | | | | | | |
+| | | | | | | | |
 -----------------
Em with D
 -----------------
+| | | | | | | | |
+| | |0| | | | | |
+| | | | | | | | |
+| |0| | | | | | |
+| | | | | | | | |
+| | | | | | | | |
 -----------------

I still haven't figured out where it goes to when it jumps to the C and Am. 
When I do, I'll post that here also....

    In the list of 'gimme's' someone listed 'Battleship Chains' by the
    Georgia Satellites as an easy one to play.
    
    Anybody want to tell me how to play it?? Especially the intro??
    
    J. (who loves learning easy stuff ;-)

>    In the list of 'gimme's' someone listed 'Battleship Chains' by the

Isn't it just two chords - C and G??? With that little Chuck Berry riff thrown 
in with the pinky. Haven't listened to it in a little while, but I thought
that's all it was.....
    
alan

    
    
    Um......I'm gonna sound stoopid......what little Chuck Berry riff???
    
    
    You must be refering to the one that everyone in the whole cosmos
    knows..........
    
    
    'cept me :-(
    
    J
    

>    Um......I'm gonna sound stoopid......what little Chuck Berry riff???

You're not gonna sound any stoopider than I am, trying to explain it! Ya know
when you make a bar chord, you lift up your little pinky (amking the chord a 
7th) and place it two frets higher on the A string - then lift it up and down 
while strumming to get that Chuck Berry rhythm (this can be heard *real* clear 
on the beginning of the Georgia Satellites' "Keep Your Hands To Yourself").

Does that make sense, or did I just confuse you more?

alan

    
    I think I understand.....you mean the C and G you play are not 'proper'
    C and G chords....more like power chords.....
    
    Lemme see....play the C by barring at the 3 rd fret, have your ring
    finger (3rd finger on the D string 5th fret (G) and hammer on and off 
    the D string 7th fret (A)....and only play the A and D strings...then
    move the whole lot down (up?) one string and play the G the same way?
    
    J. (it makes it easier to unerstand what I have just written if you
    use your right forearm as a guitar neck and use that as a reference
    point...only you might get some strange looks.....I am!!!)
    

>    I think I understand.....you mean the C and G you play are not 'proper'
>    C and G chords....more like power chords.....

Right! Don't use the open chords, use the barre chords instead. You have
the right idea posted - now its just a matter of getting used the timing
of when to move the pinky up and down.

Also, instead of playing just the two strings, you can play all five/six
strings, like you would playing a regular barre chord. Just try and keep the 
pinky from muting the other string when you press down with it.

>    Lemme see....play the C by barring at the 3 rd fret, have your ring
>    finger (3rd finger on the D string 5th fret (G) 

Your third finger should be holding down three strings at the fifth fret -
the third fourth and fifth string. The first finger, barring the third fret,
should be holding down the second and sixth strings.

       GFTPM featured it in their third classics issue, which means that
       they must have published it in a regular issue some time before. 
       Pick up the current copy and check the back pages - you can order
       most back issues.  If you need the specific issue I can check
       over the weekend.

     I,ve trancribed Heartbreak Station by Cinderella, but I'm having
     some difficulty getting the slide guitar solo. If someone could
     either post it or send me a copy I'd be psyched, or if anyone
     wants a transcription of the song,
     send a mail message, as copywrited material can't be posted here.

    If someone could tell me what the trick is to playing slide, I'd
    appreciate it.  That's something I've always dabbled with since I
    discoved the Alman's a zillion years ago.  I don't know anyone around
    here that can show me, so, enlighten me.  What's the trick to muting
    unplayed strings ?  What's it all about Alfie ?

Does anyobe know the chord progression and the intro of the Searchers' song
'Needles and pins'.

Thanks in advance.

P.S. : I have the score of Magic Bus, I'll try to think about posting
it. The chords are quite easy (I think it's mainly D and G) but it does not
sound like the original...

    Re .181,
    
    Scary, 
    I've been concentrating on playing slide for nearly a year now, I still
    have a long way to go, but I have made some progress. I think the only
    real trick to playing slide is bulk practice ! It's easy to get
    discouraged because bad slide playing really sounds terrible. I suggest
    you grab a copy of Stefan Grossmans "Bottle-neck/Slide Blues Guitar"
    Book (out on Mel Bay Publications I believe) This is a good intro.
    Also, listen to all the Robert Johnson, Bukka White, Fred McDowell,
    Elmore James, Houndog Taylor etc that you can, because it all came from
    there. If these guys could play it with knifeblades and bones etc we
    should be able to handle it, right ?
    
    Early Billy Gibbons (ZZ Top), and even George Thorogood provide good
    examples of simple and tasteful later adaptations.
    
    Other tips include  - check out open tunings
    			- I also had trouble early on with damping of
    strings. After a while I forgot about it and it just came naturally in
    the end, as did the right "weight" of the slide on the strings,
    important for the right tone.
    			- I use medium flat-wound strings to facilitate
    less string "noise".
    
    IMHO there is nothing more haunting, evocative or raunchy than a well 
    played slide piece. 
    
    Good Luck !
    
    Jeff

    THANKS !!! I think my technique is pretty close, 'cuz *sometimes* I can
    nail some pretty tasteful stuff with no noise, other times it's pretty
    horrid - guess the lack of practice shows.
    
    So, practice I shall do ...

re: Already Gone 3rd Verse

The next to last line is: 

That we live our lives in *chains*   (which makes more sense when coupled with the last line..)

The first line ends with "you who held me down"

    does anybody maybe have the transcription of "GOIN' HOME" by Ten Years
    After? I listened to it the last two days and I think I want to learn
    it.

    Easy tune.  The basic chords are:
    
    A - G - D.  The opening lead is a real simple doe-rae-mi type scale
    thing.  I always played it starting on the A string 7th fret.
    I don't have a guitar handy, but I could tab it out for ya...
    
    There is also a change to Bmin and Emaj in it.

    As Roger Rabbit says....Pleazzzzze tab it out.

    jc, which song are you talking about?  There's been questions on

    anyone know the basic chord progression to "Patience" by
     Guns n' Roses ?

    Patience is real easy to figure out once you realize they're tuned
    one note flat. I'd know the progression if I had my guitar here but
    
    It starts out with D... Heck I'll figure it out tonight and write it
    down Monday if someone else doesn't.

re: Patience

Yeah, its a pretty basic song for the most part, but tuned one step down.

If you play the an open D, and fool around with the fingers on the high-E
string, you should be able to find that riff fairly easily. And a quick 
rundown of the chords:

VERSE
-----
C
Shed a tear cause I'm missing you
G
I'm still alright to smile
A
Girl I think about you every day now
D-riff

CHORUS
------
C          G
Said woman take your time
C                        Em
And things will work out fine
C               G             D
All you need is just a little patience


And the ending is just D and G. 

This is off the top of my head, but I think its close enough to get you 
started....

alan

    Patience notes:
    
    The "D" riff Alan talked about is:

Hi, 

Does anyone know the chord sequence for "you've lost that loving feeling" 
by the righteous brothers? I'm taking my guitar to a party next week and it's 
the hostess' favorite song, so I'd like to play it. I've got some of it 
worked out, but it doesn't sound quite right....

Thanks for your help.

Philippe.

Intro: Rythym plays A (2nd fret) with pinky on 1st and 2nd string 5th fret.
pick 5th string & Strum (repeat). Sounds better if every 4th pick/strum is
done pick & up strum & down strum (quicker).

Since most people probably could hum the melody from memory I have not
bothered putting in the timing (1/16, 1/8 & 1/4 notes). I hope to learn
the rest of the song (especially the solo in the middle...drool) at my
guitar lessons tommorow. I will enter the rest later along with the lyrics.

    AMY (Pure Prarie League) chords

    CHORUS:
    A    G  D  A    G  D  Bm   E
    |||| || || |||| || || |||| ||||
    
    each "|" represents one pick & strum. (Example) where D is played
    once pick open 4th and strum. Where D is played 2 times in a row 
    play open 4th/strum, open 5th/strum (alternating bass). Also spices
    it up during break in vocals to occasionally - pick (down)/quick 
    strum (up)/quick strum (down). G chord would alternate bass of 
    6th and 4th string, C 5th and 6th (3rd fretted)...and so on.
      I'll provide the lyrics and middle solo (after I get them 
    written down) later.

Chuck,

As the requester for Amy material,  I wish to thank you for entering it

in here.  Now to learn this "oldie"!

Thanks,

Jim T.

     You're welcome. I will try to sit down and get all the lyrics
    soon. I only had enough time to learn half of the middle solo
    last lesson (up to the end of the triplets). If I get time this
    week I'll try to enter it also. If not I'll enter the solo in
    its entirety next week. Its pretty tricky to learn the timing
    unless taught slowly first. I've been practicing it for about
    8 hours now and still have trouble keeping up to PPL doin' it.
    Now if I can figure out computer tab with good time indicators.
    
    chuck

 AMY (PPL) first half of mid-solo (with an attempt to show timing).

 Unless otherwise specified all notes are 1/8 notes. Sustain most
notes as long as fingering allows. Slides are done with ring finger
(helpful hint :^). You may want to transpose in your favorite form
of tablature before learning this. 
  S= slide
[s]= quick slide (notes 'enclosed' in brackets are 1/16th notes) 
  H= hammer on
[t]= triplets (accent first note(s) of each triplet)
  r= used to fill in time (previous note is a 1/4 note)
  ^= release fret, quickly after pick to accent note

    That's gotta be a Tele!

    re: "My City Was Gone"
    
    Forgot to put this in earlier...  Then put in something that was in a
    different key and now that I've gotten home and listened to it again
    found it was a half step off.  Here's a corrected version, sorry for
    any confusion.
    
    That main riff is like this.  The bass is dominant, but I think the
    guitar doubles it.

                      E           
    The chorus is:

    Solo is in E pentatonic minor.
    
    BTW, *Great* band, Pat!  I didn't think you had it in ya.  But then
    again, the song *is* blues based...  ;^)

    Anyone know the chords to 'Space Oddity' by David Bowie?
    
    Cheers,
    
    J.

    Those chords are even easier to pick out if you have the 1980
    re-recording, as it is very sparse and good to play along with (this
    may have been UK-only release, though).
    
    Bob

    Umm...
    
    Not to be a wet blanket here or anything, but I think we're treading
    some very thin legal ice by posting full lyrics to these songs in here. 
    Chord progressions are not copyrightable, but lyrics are.  It's illegal
    to republish copyrighted text, and that's what we're doing by posting
    them here (electronic publication).
    
    This could bring Digital into substantial legal trouble if this were
    discovered, therefore I must ask that you post only lyric sections, not
    the entire works.  Even this could be considered questionable, but that
    is the standard held in other music-related conferences and I am going
    to ask that you follow it here.
    
    I am setting the notes which are questionable hidden and would ask that
    the authors edit them and post only the chords without the full lyrics.

     Anyone know the last chords of the song Dueling Banjos ??
     the jam at the end of the song??

    re .250
    Chords are G,C & D with some bass runs. I think most
    artist play it capo-ed on the 3rd fret (?).
   (I have guitar tab for the for the entire song, but don't 
    have the time to computerize it.)
    
    chuck (3 week vacation startin' friday....yeeehaaa!!!!!!)
     

I'm going to try to be clear :

In Private Ingestigations (by Dire Straits) after the arpeggios and the
vocals, there is a short and tremendous part (IMO) with some power chords (I 
suppose). To help you to locate this part I can add that if my memory
serves me well, piano arrives after, then a beating bass part and then
again arpeggios and vocals. It is about the 2/3 of the song.

Here is the purpose of this reply : could someone tell which are these chords 
that I try to find for months ?(I have to admit I'm not very gifted ;-))


Thanks in advance,


Didier

    Re-.250
    	The "jam" section of Dueling Banjos is basically 4 beats (1 bar)
    each of C,G,D,G,played in the first position basic chords,with single
    string bass runs between each chord.Crack that and you've almost got 
    Bluegrass backup guitar beat!

Hi folks !

Anybody the chords for "If You Don't Know Me By Now" by Simply Red ? This song
is fairly easy 95% of the whole song, but there's one piece before the chorus
which I can't isolate due to (propably) 4-note chords and interesting bass
line. Any takers ?

	Richard

    
    re: .257 (Bonzo)
    
    If I'm not mistaken that is that tab for "No One At The Bridge" from
    Caress of Steel (RUSH).
    
    I don't know what the rest of the tab is, but it shouldn't be too
    hard to figure out.

    Cheers Guy...
    
    A most excellent suggestion..... (now if I can only find the tape!)

    Has anybody seen the bridge?

    
    re: .261  (Greg H.)
    
    You're sick, Greg, just plain sick.....you know how I know?  'Cause
    I thought of the same thing.....;-)
    
    But I, of course, had the good taste not to act on this inner, dweeb-
    like impulse....;-)
    
    guydweeb

    "Where's that confounded bridge"

    After the suggestions in .259... I found the tape lurking in the back
    of a cupboard!  I now realise why it was there.... the tone used on the
    song is terrible!  I much prefer the clean sound I get when using my LP
    Peavey combination....
    
    Any one got the TAB for the opening riff of "HE MAN WOMAN HATER"
    Extreme ?
    
    Bob

    Anyone figure out the main lick for "Thunderstruck" yet?

    >Anyone figure out the main lick for "Thunderstruck" yet?

The intro riff goes like this:  (only first two strings shown - and needed)

  D  U  D  U  D  U  D  U  D  U  D  U  D p p  D  U
--2--0-----0--5--0-----0--2--0-----0--4-2-0-----0-------
--------3-----------3-----------3------------3----------

D = down pick
U - up pick
p - pull off to this fret

The part before the chords goes like this:


--------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------2-----------------------------
--------------0--2--3--4--------------------------------
--0--2--3--4--------------------------------------------

The chords are:

E - B - Ab - A - B

For the main part of the song, play the E on the 4th and 5th strings
and hit the first and second strings open.  Same with the other chords,
but for the A, Ab, and B chords, I usually use the 4th, 5th, and 6th,
instead of just the 5th and 6th.

There is also a break where he switches between D and E full bar chords.
Have fun figuring out the rest. ;-)

     I have finally finished the (computer) tablature for AMY by
    Pure Prarie League. If you want it (entire chords, lyrics and
    tab to solos), send me e-mail.

    I was playing along with Credence's "suzie Q" last night and had some
    trouble playing what should be a very easy song.  I got the cool swampy
    intro down but was having trouble with the chord voicings.
    
    	It sounds like the first chord (E7) is played with the root on the
    fifth string 7th fret (The A string) the second chord played (A7) 
    played with the root on the 6th string 5th fret and then up two frets
    to the B7 but some how it just doesn't sound right.
    
    	Anybody able to help me out.  Also my band is having trouble coming
    up with songs to play for gigs, anybody able to post say a three set
    song list for a band who plays bar rock and rock covers not so much
    Lay down Sally or Get Back but hopefully something slightly obscure
    so that when people hear it hopefully they can remember it.
    
    Thanks P.K.

     
    Does anyone know the chords to Tom Petty's new song
     " Into the great wide open " ?? Sounds to me like a decending chord
      progression, maybe beginning with Aminor .
    
     Thanks  
                  Jon

    P.K.  I don't think I ever played it, but listening to the song in my
    head, don't they drop from the A to a G instead of up to a B??  Or, do
    they possibly go to the B first then the A?  It just seems to me that
    in my head I hear the cord going "down", not "up".

    Ok, here's the set list the last cover band I played in did (spring
    '91).  Like you, we tried to avoid the ones that everyone does.  We
    didn't entirely succeed as we put this together pretty fast and there
    were a few that we all happened to know already that slipped in there. 
    It went over good the one time we played out.
    
    Hope this helps,

    Anybody know the verse and chorus riffs to Extreme's "Kid Ego" ? I've
    worked the other bits out and we're doing a jam at a party shortly and
    would like to get a few covers together.
    
    Thanks for any info.

    
    
    	Yo, House Unit! Which album (I love saying album, as opposed to CD,
    makes me feel wicked old!) is Monkey Man on??  I like that song!
    
    
    Gree Vee

    Y'know what I've found?
    
    If you do a tune REAL WELL, it goes over just about anywhere.
    
    My band, the db wilfred band, regularly does some tunes you'd NEVER
    EVER expect to hear in a rock club and yet they often get enthusiastic
    applause.
    
    What kinds of tunes you ask?  Would you believe:
    
    		Makin' Whooppie - an old standard
    		Don't Know Much - a Neville/Ronstadt ballad
    		NY State of Mind - a Billy Joel ballad
    		It Had to be You - another old standard
    
    We've done these in biker bars and often they turn out to get what is
    by far the best reception of the evening!
    
    As a result of this, my notions on "what you 'have' to play in rock
    clubs" has been permanently changed.

    To be sure, "Hard to Handle" was written by Otis Redding, and two other
    guys whose last names are Isball and Jones,.. but I don't quite
    remember their first names (maybe C. W. Jones?
    
    Perhaps you guys are indicating that you are covering the Black Crowes
    version of this song,.. and not the author. I just like to give credit
    where credit is due.
    
    And if anybody wants to hear a version that blows the crowes away,
    I have bootlegs of the good ole grateful dead covering this tune
    from around '71 that are *MUCH* hotter.
    
    I know how you guiys all love the dead :-) :-)
    
    						/Bill
    

    re: Bill
    
    I don't know if you were referring to me, but on my list I put the
    artist who's version of the song we came closest to sounding like, not
    necessarily the original.  
    
    Yeah for Hard To Handle, we did the Black Crowes version, 'cuz it was
    real popular right then and people were used to hearing the song that
    way.  Face it, regardless of how hot a tune it was, not many people
    knew that song before they made it popular last year.
    
    Greg

    
    Uhhhh..... Bill, I'd like a version from 1971 of the Dead doing "Hard
    To Handle" :^)  Seriously.....just listened to it from "Bear's Choice",
    and was lamenting the fact that I had a much much hotter version that I
    got ripped off from me years ago and haven't heard since......
    
    Although I do like the Crowes a LOT, and I like their version of Hard
    to Handle, I've never heard a Grateful Dead version that *wasn't*
    better.....well, maybe one.....

    Buck, I was gonna say the same thing. Although .301 has the right notes
    as such, the positioning doesn't give the best result. BTW Hole Hearted

    Best of the Shadows???  Shouldn't take too long to figure out their two
    or three hits...  *8')
    

    
    Come on now. I won't have the Shadows run down! They played their part
    in pop and rock history thoughout the world (the exception being the US
    where for some reason the Ventures seemed to dominate). They also had a
    good dozen Top 10 hits worldwide between '59 and '65. *So* many people
    picked up an electric guitar a la Hank Marvin that Fender actually gave
    him a special award for boosting Fender sales.
    
    Brian Bennett is, as it happens, a well respected drummer and I
    challenge most guitarists to achieve the crystal clean strat sound that
    Hank achieves when amplified at 12 watts let alone 100+.
    
    Getting back to the subject, I guarantee a tablature book of Shadows
    hits would be a worldwide best seller. QED. Admittedly there's nothin
    complicated about the lead lines, its just they way you play it.

>	So, what are some Shadow hits?  I'm afraid I'm ignorant on their
>	successes.  

        Pat,
        
        The Shadows  were  to  the UK what the Ventures were to the US.
        They began the 'three guitars and drums' lineup and pretty much
        defined  the  transition  to  'pop  groups'  as a predominantly
        instrumental band.
        
        Some of their hits  were  Apache,  FBI,  Man of Mystery, Guitar
        Tango, Midnight, Atlantis, Theme for Young Lovers...
        
        As  to  artistry,  I played a  few  tracks  to  a  professional
        musician friend a few months ago -  he  does jazz/blues and 60s
        rock  guitar  -  and  he was amazed!   Great  arrangements  and
        excellent instrumental  harmonies.  For complexity, try a track
        called Nivram  (Marvin reversed) which is a bass feature track.
        It took him  about  three weeks to transcribe the bass part for
        Sandy and she's about got it down now.
        
        I've imported a number of their  CDs  from UK and they're still
        great  listening and excellent to play along  with.    Hank  B.
        Marvin  with  his  Fiesta  Red  Strat was my  Satriani/Vai  (or
        whoever your guitar gawd is) back in the late 50s/early 60s.

        Andy
        
        PS.  If anyone wants to hear them, I  live  in Manchester, NH -
        let me know.

        A thought occurs - if any UK type guitarnoters comes across any
        Shadows music books  and  would  be prepared to ship 'em out to
        me, I'd appreciate it!    All costs covered, naturally.  Anyone
        seen a 'master volume' of Shadows music?
        
        Andy
        

    There are plenty of Shadows sheet music books available in the UK. I
    still have some I bought back in '63 when I was one of those spotty
    kids trying to play like Hank and never quite doing it. I can still
    play Apache OK tho and some other friends of mine include Nivram in
    their set. The Shadows still tour occasionally and always play to full
    houses, they also were Cliff Richard's backing group throughout the
    60's. 
    
    BTW the reason that the Shads had such an impact in the UK in '58,'59
    was that no-one else had a Fender Stratocaster. USA guitars were not
    available in the UK so Cliff Richard ordered one mail-order from
    Fender.
    
    Richard Bell
    (Old Shadows fan)

    
    The only Shadows sheet music books available are not good in my view.
    They are piano scores (ie as writen by the composer and not as played
    by the Shads). If have seen no tab books at all and although most stuff
    is pretty simple there are the occasional breaks that Hank does which I
    cannot seem to fathom.
    
    The bass (check out Kon Tiki), rhythm (check out the Savage) and drums 
    were all well put together. I've often heard it said that the truely
    unique thing about the Shadows sound in '58/'59 was that it was about
    the first electric group that used ACOUSTIC rhythm extensively. And its
    is this acoustic rhythm that seems to really contrast so well with the
    Strat sound.
    
    Were they trailbazers with this combo?
    
    Richard

    that they'd be willing to send to me ? Pleeeze.....

    Having just gotten a four track I am trying to lay down some of my all
    time favorites but I don't have all the words to some of them.  If you
    have the words to these or anything simmilar for accoustic I would 
    appreciate getting a copy.

    Any one help me out with the Paul Kossoff lead break from FREE's All
    Right Now. I have figured out most of it but I know that I haven't got
    all the riffs correct, it's close but not spot on.

re: all right now riffs/solo

Richard, come and see me in the Leeds office tomorrow and we can take this
offline (wish I had a quid for every time I've played this).

    I have a transciption for Eric Johnson's "Trademark"....
    
    But does anyone have tab for any other tunes from Ah Via Musicom?
    
    Even a pointer to a magazine would be helpful, but I'd like to
    have it photocopied and (US) mailed to me.....
    
    thanks,

    re. .320
    
    Guitar School transcribed "All Right Now" not too long ago.  It
    had an interesting discussion of how the chords were played.
    Apparently the A-D-A progression is voiced two different ways
    and then split between channels.
    
    If you would like a copy of the transcription, send me mail with
    your address and I'll serve it right up.

    See note 2143.* for the list of all GFTPM tab stuff.
    
    EJ's "Cliffs of Dover" was in the January '91 issue.  The songs in the
    songbook are listed in 110.* somewhere (try a SEARCH/NOTE=110.* "book").

    Guy,
    
    EJ has a whole book of transcriptions out.  Why not buy it and show
    the guys that make the decisions about which guitarists transcriptions
    get published that GOOD music like EJ's sells.

    	Can anyone HELP!! me find an accurate transcription source for 
    	Beatles songs?

    re: Beatles Transcriptions
    
    I can guarantee, based on lots of looking around and studying, that you
    will be wasting your time with the Beatles collection books you'll find
    in your local music store.   
    
    I have found the transcriptions in some of the guitar magazines to be 
    fairly accurate ("Blackbird" was recently in one of the rags and it 
    looked pretty close at a quick glance).
    
    I remember seeing a transcription of "Get Back" less than a year ago in
    one of the rags.  It also looked fairly accurate, and there was some
    wording about other transcriptions being available from the company
    which had done that one.
    
    Seeing as how I play guitar in an all-Beatles cover band (HELP!), I
    spend an awful lot of time learning Beatles guitar parts.  I'd be glad
    to help out with any song I have worked out.  I'd also be interested in
    learning what others have figured out.
    
    For instance...
    
    Anybody have a fingering for playing the signature riff of "And Your
    Bird Can Sing" with one guitar doing thirds instead of two guitars?
    I can figure out the notes... I just can't play it well enough... maybe
    there's an easier way I haven't tried yet.

	Howz about "316" by Eddie VH off of For Unlawful......
	Sounds like it's relatively simple comared to most
	of his other solos.


	-Spratty

    I need some help with a transcription that I've had on the back burner
    for some time.  The name of the song is "Seacoy" off the album
    "Assembler" by Bill Connors.  I *cannot*, no matter what I do, figure
    out the four chords that occur after the main theme.  There's some
    overdubbed guitar/key parts on these chords and the resulting mish-mash
    has my ears confused.

    Can anybody help?
    
    Thanks,
    steve

	Don't bother with '316'.  
	I got it through another source.

    Anybody have the tab to the intro for `Don't Fear The Reaper' by Blue
    Oyster Cult ?  I could work it out, but I'm too lazy ...  8^)
    
    Scary

Hi everybody,

	I need the chords and the words of a song 

		'Moon River'

	Can anyone help ?

Thanks,

-- Joseph

    
       Hi, I need help identifying a chord in a song.  The song is "Devil's
    Roof" by the Throwing Muses.  Most of the song is either some
    single-note/picking with a D/D7 switch and then triplets of strumming
    switching each measure between a D and C.  However, my problem is that
    the D/D7 single-note stuff is preceeded by a chord which I just can't
    figure out.  (The song starts out with the D/D7 stuff, so it's
    obviously not that time, but subsequent occurrances are preceeded by
    this chord and I'm stuck.)
    
       Thanks in advance, anyone kind enough to figure this out and reply
    please send mail to LENO::GRIER...

       Might anyone have the tab for "Father Christmas" by Greg Lake?
    
       At the same time, is it available on CD?  (Which I doubt.)

	The Lennon Christmas tune is nice too.  "So this is Christmas"?
	

    I liked the W.A.S.P. Christmas tune, myself

Spinal Tap's "Christmas With The Devil" is a favorite in my household!!!

alan

	Well, let's not forget the traditional "Mistress for Christmas",
	courtesy of Angus!

Wasp is always fun... Creative song titles.  :)

Stripper has a releatively cool Xmas toon...
jc

    
    
      That reminds me of the one by...
    
      Who the hell was it anyway, Angel?
    I remember it had a bass line that rattled the windows in 
    the house.
    
      ...and then there is "Land of the Glass Pine Cone".
    
    
      But does anyone have the tab for that Greg Lake thang?
    
    
      Rick.
    
    

    Stryper's version of "Winter Wonderland" is great! 
    
    Mike (who's going to see them in about 5 hours)

    No way!!
    
    Have a great time.  I love Stryper, and their version of WW!

    they're doing it on the tour too (since its that time of year!),
    according to folks on the Usenet.
    
    Bride is opening up for them (never heard them before).

     I guess this notes titled favorite Rock Christmas song now

    Anybody got the progression to the '50s Peggy Lee standard "Fever"?
    Gracias,
    \Gary

I noticed in the Jimi Hendrix conference that  "Pali Gap" was mentioned.
    I didn't think anybody else knew about that one. Great instrumental to 
    "float" on. Anyway, after listening to it over and over I still can't 
    quit get the opening much less the rest of it.  
Are there any guitar books, in the Mass., NH areas, that have this 
transcribed or if anybody knows it and would like to reply on or off line 
it would be appreciated.

thanks,

Paul

    I would like the chords/words to "Your Song" by E. John/B Taupin....can

     Anybody have a transcription to "The Clap" by Steve Howe?
     I know it is in the Oct '87 issue of GFTPM, but this issue has
     been sold out.  Any help would be appreciated.

    does anyone have the tab for "Panama" by the very excellant Van Halen??

    does anyone have the tab for the 'may I help you' lick from Wayne's
    World?
    
    :-)

    I could've sworn "Panama" was transcribed in "Guitar for the Practicing 
    Musician" but it's not listed in the directory provided in 2143.
    
    	db

    It definately was, but it's in a really old issue, like the first year
    they published the magazine.  I remember trying to play it from the tab
    at the time...
    
    Perhaps the listing in 2143 doesn't cover all years of the magazine?
    
    gh

    that publication is pretty hard for me to get here in Scotland.I'll try
    and check it out,though!

    re: .378
    
    No, that listing is definitely not complete.  The original entry just
    covered the issues I had on hand at the time.  And even though I'm a
    friendly kinda guy, I'm not going to respond positively to requests for
    copies of this stuff - copyright, and all that...
    
    \John
    
    P.S. Lots of back issues are still available from the publisher, and
    every once in a while they republish the really popular transcriptions
    in "classics" issues.
    

    Anyone have the tab for the solo to the song "I remember you" by
    Slaughter (or was it Warrant?).  The solo may be beyond my abilities
    but I'd like to take a crack at it-one of my all-time favorite solo's.
    
    Thanks,
    Alan

>    Anyone have the tab for the solo to the song "I remember you" by

    Sorry Alan, it's Skidrow!
    
    It was transcribed in Guitar World about a year ago, but I don't
    remember the exact issue (and I doubt I have it around anymore).
    
    Greg

    That *is* a bitchin' solo - *wicked* use of harmonics and whammy.
    Very tasty...
    jc

    There's a song by a local (Boston area) group "The Fools" called "Big", or
"You Make Me Feel Big" that uses three "jazzy" chords in the intro, and through-
out the song.  Does anyone know what these chords are and how to play 'em?

        Thanks, Andr�

    OK,..
    
    	So thanks to Tom Gallo and Mike Heiser (I think those two were the
    ones anyway) I now have a wonderful listing of all the TAB that GFTPM
    has published over the last several years....
    
    	So now that you've got my attention,.. how do I go about locating
    back issues from like '84 and stuff. Anybody got their back issues
    still?
    
    	I'd be grateful for any assistance anyone is willing to offer.

    I have a couple of dozen assorted issues.  Let me know if there's
    something specific you want.
    
    Greg

    re .384 "BIG"
    
    Hi Andre - I might be able to help. I'll post the chords tomorrow after
    I get my guitar and see if I can remember exactly. It's something like 
    an F#m, Fm(w/6?), E.
    
    "sakman" who always liked those chords too ( the song's pretty cool too
    eh?)

    re. .382
    
    Thanks for the info. Greg.  Does anyone out there have a copy of this
    particular Guitar World that has the Skidrow song "I Remember You", or
    can you tell me what issue it was and maybe I could order it?
    
    Thanks again,
    Alan

    I have a copy of this solo...lemme look for it...will post success rate
    tomorrow

    Re .384 "BIG"
    
    Yep, I did pick it last night. The base chords are the same as I
    mentioned, (F#, F, E) but as you know you can transpose 'em anywhere 
    you wish. When I saw the Fools last year I noticed the dude playing 
    the tune in E.
    
    Anyway start with a 7th chord. Then for the next chord ( I don't know
    much about theory or the name of this) move all of you fingers down 1 
    fret except your little finger on the second string which made the 7th. 
    Also with your little finger, press the string underneath (the first 
    string). The last chord is the just a major. I'll try to sketch the 
    tab for the chords:
    
            __2_________5_____________0____
            __5_________5_____________0___
            __3_________2_____________1___
            __4_________3_____________2___
            __4_________3_____________2___
            __2_________1_____________0___
             (F#7)      F something   E
    
    
    After you sound the E chord, you can do a rif in E for added
    excitement.
    
    One of my pet progressions is to add a major chord on either end of
    this to make it a 5 chord progression. I usually root that one in A 
    since an Eb (if using the above) doesn't work out.
    
    Enjoy!
    
    "sakman"
            
                    

    The voicings sound like they're played on the middle 4 strings

    How on earth do you finger that center chord?  I only have four fingers
    and I don't think they could do it!
    
    Greg

    The middle chord is an FMa7. Index finger on the 6th string, ring
    finger on the 5th & 4th strings,middle finger on the 3rd and pinky on
    the 5th & 6th. It's easier if you have a shorter scale length, but even
    with my arthritic, undersized hands I can make this stretch on a 25.5"
    scale guitar.
    
    Danny W.

    Danny's right. In fact don't get to hung up with the ring finger on the
    5th & 4th strings. If you have to ( and I probably do to) just dub that
    4th string note. The essential notes are the on the other strings,
    especially the pinky.
    
    Re: Buck's (voicings) - Yeah Buck, and another thing I'll do is hit the
    bass string separately and then sound the rest where I pluck those
    together with my fingers. Not sure if that's what's meant by "comping".
    
    "sakman" - who plays OK for being musically illiterate I guess.

     B - A   B - A   B - A  B - A     On the high E string
     f#- D   F#- D   F#- D  F#- D     On the E and B string
     F - D#  F - D#  F - D# F - D#    On the B string
    
     Chord progression starts with a G then to Em ( with a passing f# bass
    note )
    
     then goes to C for 4 beats (then hit a G bass note) folloxed by an Am
    
     the next part of the song starts with a D chord followed by a C chord
                  ( aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh-------ahhhhhhhhhhhh)
    
     3 times then resolves back to the original open G chord.

Hey, thanks for the Sugaree music.  Somebody must have been reading my mind!
I had it in a book which I loaned out and forgot the chords.

    Anyone know the chords to Bob Dylan's "Tangled Up in Blues"? I just
    posted a note looking for the words. I figured we could avoiid
    copyright complications by posting words in one topic and the chords in
    another. 
    
    I'd get the album and learn the tune from that, except I'm not sure I
    could take a whole album of Bob Dylan nor listen to his voice several
    times while I learn the tune I want.

    next (A major), then back to E.  To B - A - E riff.  Solo in the "E"
    section in E pentatonic blues.  Solo in the "A" major section in A
    major pentatonic scale.

     Fine Young Cannibles   " Good thing "
    
     D F Am G   all the way through the song

    Born in the USA use's  B  to  E and back with the main riff being
     b a b c# b a            not rocket science, but fun to play. B*)

Can someone send me the words to Stormy Monday ??

I'm sick of making up the lyrics in realtime mode.
:)

    I'd like to help you out Coop but I've heard so many different versions
    that I lost track of what the "real" lyrics were.

    
    
    |:  They call it stormy Monday
        but Tuesday's just as bad  :|
    	Wednesday's worse
    	and Thursday's oh so sad

    	and Saturday I go out to play :|
    	I go to church on Sunday

Coolness !  Thanks boys (and to the nameless person who sent them to me
offline !!)

    are the lyrics the same??
    
    Lowell
    

Yes - but a couple more versus...

    Care to share them with us??
    Lowell
    

I need some help in a hurry !!

I need to know about a mid-late 70's "disco" song called (I think)
"Midnight In The Oasis".  I need lyrics and stuff.

Here's what happened:

We're at practice and as often happens, we were noodling and Tom starts
sing this song...  I say "no, try it like this" and played the chords to it
with the death-metal-galluping beat from the underworld.  Well, within
seconds we chuncking the HELL out of it, and singing non-sence about putting 
your camel to bed.

To me it's the ultimate tongue-in-cheek speed-metal toon - but we need words,
and perhaps - who did the dang thing ??

jc (Who's heard impressive versions of Sweet Home Alabama too :)

    Maria Muldar sang "Midnight At The Oasis".

    ...and the guitar solo is one of my all-time faves, played by that
    master of string bending, Amos Garrett.  Mike, if you guys do the song,
    I hope you at least quote the solo.

If I could find a single of the tune, I'd try to dupe the solo (well, sorta :).
We messed with it again last night - it's FUN slaughtering old disco songs !

jc

    
    Coop, "Midnite" is not one of my favorites, so I don't want to be
    portrayed as defending it, BUT... it's NOT a disco song; it's a pretty
    fair piece of music, and as one of the prior notes said, the Amos
    Garrett solo is just a tip of his iceberg.  I think somebody noted in
    here earlier that his desert island collection would include Amos' solo
    from "Bring Me Somebody To Love" with Paul Butterfield; I agree.
    
    Homespun Tapes has an Amos Garrett series.

It's in D with a descending bass line on the 5th string. I think the

Hi Git-noters..

Looking for the words and music to Ain't no Sunshine (When she's gone)

I have a great idea for a remake of this tune, but I'm on a lark

awe, yous guyths twas a bug hep :)

     A band here in Oz has just released a version of this song but because
    a woman sings it it's "aint no sunshine when he's gone". 
    	The band is called "The Rockmelons".
    Oh yeah the girl is called Denni Hynes and she is engaged/married to
    Kirk Pengally (guitar)of INXS.
    P.K.

	OK, guys.

	This one is really bugging me...heard the LAST 10 SECONDS of a
	song on the radio last night, can anyone help me with this:


	 	Dab	dahhh-dab	dahhh-dab	dahhh-dab

		Amin	Amin-Hmin	 #C  - #C	Hmin-Hmin


	in a repeating pattern...

	Singing 'dab dahhh-dab' was 2-3 voices in harmony, sorta like
	Jon Anderson voices, all the while a KILLER GUITAR SOLO was
	being played...the rythm was jazzy - syncopated (sp), and the
	song faded away...

	Was it Pat Metheny (dont know much about this guy)? Larry Carl-
	ton? Steve Lukather? I thing the guitar was playing a minor
	pentatonic scale...

	It must be one of the big ones!!

	Poul

    What's an Hmin?!?

    
    That's H minor or B minor or whatever...
    
    Maybe it could be Gino Vanelli??? It's really annoying, hope some of
    you can help!
    

    Hmin is B minor.
    
    For some reason, Germans (and possibly other europeans) describe B
    as "H".
    
    Makes no sense to me, but I've seen it in lots of European tablature.

    "Das Adagio und Fugue in H Mol" ...I remember now...
    

Okay, here's a request from my son. He wants the music - chords and any 
licks, I assume - to "Man in the Box" by Alice in Chains. 

I hope I got all that right -- I'm a classical guitarist, never was big on 
metal..... Any help I can get here will be greatly appreciated. My son will 
be thirteen next week, and has already gotten his present - a guitar from 
mom and a Crate amp from dad. 

thanks

Cake:

It's all outta E...

So, you chuck the "E" Thump-thump,thump,thump-thump and toss in a
little single note lick A-B-D then thump-tump some more.

There is a bridge which does the G barchord with an alternating 5th
(that blues thing, someone TOLD me it was a "5th", but I dunno...).

Then the chorus is simply the open chords 

E-G-D-A 

Then back to the E thump,thump stuff.  The lead is easy, pick your favorite
pentatonic "box" and have at it.  Add pick slides and dive bombs, shake 
well, and serve to an intoxicated crowd - a sure way to be a hit!

Hope this helps.

    re: -.1
    
    Thanks kindly.  We felt pretty good about that set, too.

    I was impressed with "And Your Bird Can Sing"...(zat the right title?)
    
    Edd

    Yes, that's what the tune's called.  Funny, I was sure I'd never be
    able to play that song.  It's such a great tune for a Beatles band that
    I had to give it a shot, so I recorded myself playing the changes VERY
    SLOWLY and learned the lead parts at that speed... then a little faster, 
    then a little faster, and so on.  In the end I was amazed that I could
    play it well enough to use in our repertoire and also how fast I had
    managed to learn it by using the "increasing speed" method.  Fun song. 

    re .464 -
    
    
    Thanks!
    
    Scott
    

    re: And your bird can sing
    
    Was the guitar recorded several times over to get that sound on the
    record? It's hard to imagine George Harrison or John Lennon with the
    chops to play something as complex as it sounds. I'm thinking maybe a
    twelve string w/overdub was the technique. But, then again I haven't
    heard the song in years so maybe a listen now will reveal its not as
    complex as I thought at the time.
    
    "sakman"

    It sounds to me like two guitars playing the lead parts... parallel 
    scale runs with intervals of thirds and sixths.  There's a rhythm
    guitar droning away all the while.

    On the song "Little Devil" by The Cult, are the chords during the
    chorus:
    
    G	 /	   F  /		D ///
    
    Come on little devil
    
    G	 /	 C    /		D ///
    
    Be my little angel
    
    
    	Just trying to figure it out by 'ear' while sitting at my desk
    	listening to the Walkman.
    
    thanks,
    joe.

      FWIW - I'm fairly sure that "And Your Bird can Sing" was not done in
    standard tuning. My ex bass player made a comment a long time ago that
    he know a guy that could play it in standard tuning although the
    Beatles themselves never could. I don't know if that song was ever
    captured on video to prove this. 
      In the same direction: Does anyone know what the Nashville tuning is?
    I know Reb Beach of Winger used it on Madelaine. Maybe I should review 
    my "cutting Loose" tape to see if it was mentioned. 
    
    							-B()()M-

    Nashville tuning is like a 12 string guitar minus the original 6
    strings...
    
    i.e. the E, A and D are an octave above a normal 6-sting and the G, B
    and high E are the same.  It's used primarily for rhythm work (for
    obvious reasons) and adds a sheen without the "jangle" of a 12-string.
    
    
    						Brian

    "Little Devil" chorus is:
    
    	G	F	D
    	F	C	D
    
    in case anyone cares.
    
    Anybody know what the guitar is doing during the chorus of "I Know
    Something" by Alice in Chains???
    
    Sounds like A is used as a pedal point and one of the guitars is doing
    the infamous Pete Townshend/Jimmy Page riff:
    
    G, G, (sixth string) A (fifth string), but it's hard to tell with the
    vocal line going on at the same time....

    re: Nashville tuning
    
    I was just reading an interview with Joe Satriani in Guitar World this
    weekend and he mentioned using Nashville tuning.  He said that
    overdubbing a regular guitar with a Nashville tuned guitar was a good
    way of getting a 12 string sound without the intonation problems of a
    real 12 string.

    Yeah, then you just have to play everything *exactly* the same way in
    the second pass.
    
    							Brian

    I believe Satch used Nashville tuning on "I Want What I Want..." from
    FIABD.  Beach talks a little about it on his "Cutting Loose" video.
    
    Mike

    
    And your Bird was recorded by both Lennon and Harrison playing
    together. While neither were great improvisational players or great
    players period, they had sense enough to either rehearse real well, or
    let Paul do it( which was much more often than folk realize).
    
    bob

    RE: .476
    
    I guess I tend to associate "Nashville tuning" with accoustic 
    guitars.  Unless you have a special compensated bridge for the 
    "octave" strings, you're going to have the same intonation problems
    you have on a 12-string.
    
    FWIW the Stratocaster XII allows individual intonation adjustment on
    ALL 12 strings.
    
    Jim (who could never get the overdub to match the orignal track,
         anyway)
    

    Never thought of that, Jim.  Satriani seemed to think it helped, and he
    was talking about using that on acoustic guitar (I thought...).
    
    Food for thought.
    
    gh

    re: And Your Bird...
    
    I never before heard anybody say it was played with guitars tuned
    non-standard.  When you listen to it, it is very clearly two 
    guitarists, one taking each line.  It's really not very difficult
    until you try to do both parts all by yourself.  Even then, it's not 
    all that difficult as evidenced by the fact that _I_ can play it 
    passably!
    
    The fact that it sounds complicated is yet another example of Beatles
    "whole is much more than the sum of the parts" magic.  This is quite a
    nifty little arrangement.
    
    re: let Paul do it
    
    It is true as .479 says... Paul plays several leads on Beatles
    recordings.  Two of the more famous examples are "Taxman" and "Good 
    Morning, Good Morning," which are very similar leads, actually.  Also
    "Another Girl."
    

    
    I know these are easy (Its always the easy things that seem to fox me!)
    
    1	Do Wah Diddy....
    
    	The chords for the middle where the lyrics go....
    
    	"Ohh I knew we was falling in love,
    	 Yes I did so I told her all the things I'd been dreamin' of"
    
    2	Needles and Pins....
    
    	Seems to have a few elusive chords dotted around. Can anyone give
    	me the complete chords?
    
    Also, if someone can mail me direct the complete lyrics that would
    be a real bonus as I find some of the lyrics hard to discern off the
    record.

    
    Does anybody have the TAB to 'Tears in Heaven' by Clapton, I know

    Hi all --

    Just got my Steve Morse Coast to Coast album... Yikes!  Wonderful
    stuff.  Anyway, I'm working on the first tune, I think it's called User
    Friendly.  I thought some of you might like a transcription of that
    beginning guitar part, so I wrote it out.  (Buck, does this look
    anything like that stacked 5ths lick I showed you last time you were
    out?).

    All the notes below are 16ths.  The accents are real important to the
    overall feel.  Also, use strict alternate picking.  I'm not sure of the
    tempo since I didn't measure it, but I think its around 140->160. 
    (After listening to Mike Heiser's guitar notes entries, I expect he'll
    play it at about 220 :) !

    Enjoy,
    steve

    anybody fancy tabbing out the intro and the chords to 'Soul Man' by
    Sam and Dave for me?
    
    	Cheers,

    Have any of Ozzy's new tunes appeared in the tab magazines yet?  I'm
    especially interested in "No More Tears" and am willing to trade a tab
    for it.

    NMT was recently SOMEWHERE in TAB -- I know, cuz I was peeking at it
    in the music store, seeing if we both played it in similar positions.
    We did.

    
    Anyone know the first few chords to "Don't Treat Me Bad" by
    Firehouse?
    
    It sounds like it should be simple....but sumpin' ain't right...

    Thanks, Buck!  The rest sounds easier....now if I can just sing
    those last few notes....grab and *twist*....;-)

    A few things to note.  On the 2nd E chord, the dude thorws in a 6th
    suspended tension for a beat:

    Also, on the part where he sings "Oh girl, I can't take any-more",
    That's a B-7 over "Girl", and an E major over "More".

    it ?

    Blair_Unit has it!

    I have the book containing the whole album.  Have FIABD too.

    Could someone enter the song "Angie" by The Rolling Stones ?
    Sounds like it starts out with Am and possibly is using suspended 4th's
    going to G ?

    NIT:  Al Pitrelli is no longer playing with Alice, and he did not play
    on the POISON album, either.

    Al came in for the POISON tour, did the follow-up Alice album, missed
    the tour, worked a bit on the To-Be-Released Alice album, but won't
    appear much on it.

    Anyone know or care to enter the basics of Born To Run or
     Maggie May ?
    
     Gonzo

> Anyone know or care to enter the basics of Born To Run 

OK, here's the basics (if I can remember them):


(Verses)
E					       A		B
In the day we sweat it out on the streets of a runaway American dream
E					      A       B
At night we ride through mansions of glory in suicide machines
A			 C#m
Sprung from cages out on Highway 9
F#m
Chrome wheeled fuel injected
G#m			  E
And stepping out over the line
D
Wooooah!
A			C#m
Baby this town rips the bones from your back
F#m		  G#m
It's a death trap it' a suicide rap
E			     C#m
We gotta get out while we're young
A		      B			   E
'Cause tramps like us baby we were born to run



(Bridge - each of these plays with the sus4)
D
Beyond the Palace hemi-powered drones scream down the boulevard
G
The girls all comb their hair in rearview mirrors
A
And the boys try to look so hard
C
The amusement park rises bold and stark


Then the instrumental section is F/C/F/F#, then a big walkdown, starting from
a B and then walk down all 12 notes to a B, with a couple punches on the C.
(Listen, and you'll see what I mean.....)

Hope this helps, and I don't guarantee a thing (like, I think either the
F#m or G#m is also a 7th, but I forget....)

    How about a little less signal to noise ratio ? If you too much of a
    Pro player and a bored to tears with these Classic, yet basic songs,
    take it to note 1954 please. This note is for basic music
    transcription. Basic enough so that the novice player to the seasoned
    pro can make music. set/flame=low , JMHO , FWIW , B*) x 1000 and all
    that stuff. It's 6:55 am and the coffee hasn't kicked in....

    Hear! Hear!  I have benefitted immensely from printing  different
    transcriptions out and working on them at home.
    
    Also, some of these songs were pretty great at one time.  In many
    cases, their only sin is over-exposure on the radio.
    
    I think it's really funny when people rag the old classics.  I like
    to think of a group of modern automotive engineers walking down the
    hall at Ford.  As they pass an exhibit of the old Model T, the first
    production car in the world, the youngest engineer sneers and says,
    
    "Look at that piece of shit.  The new Probes smoke that thing!"
    
    Keep the classics and the moderns coming.  We remedial guitarists
    appreciate it!

    Ear training, doncha know...

    I just feel that the world doesn't need another guitarist who knows
    "Stairway to Heaven".  
    
    Brian, it's not that I'm any "Pro player bored to tears with these
    classics".   It's that I respect them too much to want to see yet
    another person in a music store degrading them.  ;-)

    Yeah, but how many people can play Stairway to Heaven *well*?
    
    
    guy

    
    hey, my 13 year old daughter just discovered "You Really Got Me!".
    (can you play that dad? wife- he won't!!!).
    Meanwhile, my whole property is a No Stairway Zone!
    

    
    Sorry, DB...no offense meant.  Actually, I wasn't replying to you...
    just trying to light-heartedly inject some humor into the topic.
    
    Hmmmm.  Maybe they had it exactly right when they hung that
    sign in music store in "Waynes' World:"  
    
    "No playing Stairway to Heaven."
    
    I must admit, "Stairway" was an immensely satisfying song to learn
    how to play...and I learned it the year that came out.  I feel
    bad that it has become the Ed McMahon of rock music, the dreaded
    song...
    
    Of course, I also agree with Guy...(.538)...how many people can
    actually play it well?
    
    I'd better duck:  A whole slew of people are going to dive in now and say
    they play it better than Page! :)
    
    Brian

    sorry guys, but you young whippersnappers will understand when you get
    into your 40's and just find the pure enjoyment in playing songs that
    "meant" alot ot you when they came out.  That's at least part of the
    esscence of "classic" rock isn't it?  I love "Stairway", liked the song
    when it came out, enjoyed learning it (in the 70's), and STILL enjoy
    hearing and playing it, along with alot of songs by the Animals,
    Beatles, Bad Co., Doobies, Skynard, etc....
    
    Playing music (for me) isn't about playing or not playing what's 'cool'
    or what someone else percieves as 'cool'.

    Steva-classic-reeno

    > I must admit, "Stairway" was an immensely satisfying song to learn
    
    Yes, and I think the reason why every guitarist seems to know it is
    that in combination with the fact that it is (using a term I think
    I've defined recently) a "low cost/performance" tune.
    
    That is, it's easy to play but really impresses people (non-guitarists
    mostly) that you can play it.
    
    re: SDANDREA
    
>    Playing music (for me) isn't about playing or not playing what's 'cool'
>    or what someone else percieves as 'cool'.  
    
    That's right.  But writing notes is.  ;-)
    
    Steve, we're all just having a little fun here.  It's sorta an
    "in-joke" in that (as I said) it seems like every guitarist learns
    that one eventually.  You tend to hear "Stairway" every time you
    go into a guitar shop.  
    
    We've been joking about that in here for years,
    but it seems to be a "Universal truth" because (for the benefit of
    those that haven't seen the movie) in "Wayne's
    World" there's a scene where he's trying out a guitar and starts
    playing "Stairway" and immediately the salesman tells him to stop
    and points to a sign that says:
    
    			NO 
    		STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN 
    		      PLEASE!
    
    I don't think anyone is really bothered that you want to learn that
    tune.  We all did.  ;-)  Go for it!

    
    Hey!  Anyone got the tab for Stairway? 
    
    Jus' kiddin'.....

    Let's just get all these request over at once:

    Someone post the tab for:
    
    	o Stairway to Heaven
    	o You Really Got Me Going
    	o Barracuda
    	o Smoke on the Water
    	o Eruption
    	o The "Spirit of the Radio" lick
    
    and get it over with.  ;-)
    
    (What else falls into this category of stuff that almost every
    guitarist seems to learn, and/or you hear a lot in music stores.)
    
    ------------
    
    A story:  I once was trying to show "Smoke on the Water" to a student.
    
    I couldn't quite get across to him the concept of "Movable chords".
    He kept trying to refinger the chord everytime it changed rather than
    slide it up and down.
    
    So finally I told him to just hold that position and I walk around him,
    grabbed the bridge end of the guitar and told him to pick but not worry
    about moving his fingers around.
    
    So he did that while I pushed and pulled the guitar like a trombone
    slide for each chord so that his fingers were at the right box!
    
    THEN he got it!

WRONG answer recruit!  

Music is for making MONEY to pay for new toys - PERIOD !

jc (Who's not even close to even :)

    And speakin of SRV, how about the basics (one level lower than I IV V)
    of "Empty Arms". I say basics
    cuz when it comes to tab, by adding all the nuances just confuse the
    hell outta me since I [never/rarely] try [to/can] play anything note 
    for note.
    
    For this tune, I'm interested in what's basically played between the words.

    RE: .552
    
    You've GOT to be pullin' our leg !
    
    Anyway, pick up a copy of Led Zeppelin IV, AKA- "ZOSO" from
    your local music store.  Despite this conversation, it IS a
    really good tune (especially if you haven't heard it murdered
    on the radio since 1971 or so...).  Check out Misty Mountain Hop
    while your listening too...

    Hook up your radio to your cassette recorder, tune it to any rock 
    station and press record and leave it running for, oh, say about
    1/2 hour or so. 
    
    You're bound to get it.
    
    ;0()

Years ago (in this notes file, or it's predecessor), it was suggested that
the words to 'Gilligans Island' work well with Stairway to Heaven - I've
been playing it in that fashion ever since. Another one that works well is
Purple Haze, using the words to 'Green Acres'.

    Mine too.  Shameful as it is...

    Well this should be an easy one. Anyone know the words to Kansas City.
    All I know is the first verse. Also, are there any changes? I think it
    maintains a I IV V shuffle all the way through doesn't it?  I was dubbing
    aroound last nite and thought this might be something I might be able to
    learn to sing and play. 
    
    "sakman"

    Yup, I know 'em...but I think policy prevents me from putting 'em here.
    I tried sending mail, but the mailer daemon just hung, looking for you.
    Got an alternate address?
    
    It's I-IV-V.  In the original (Wilbur Harrison) version, there's one
    verse with 'stops'.
    
    If I'm wrong about policy, lemme know and I'll put them here.

 could anyone post the tab for the Hoochie Coochie Man ( would prefer
 the jeff Healey version a la Roadhouse soundtrack, but the Muddy Waters
 orig would be just as ace )

    I've seen the bridge and it is   Bm, E then  Bm, E, A
    
    

    
    
    		Oyeah to complete it,,,the interlude???? is:
    
    			C                  G              D
                   little drops.... whispers of......tears and loves

	Let's go back to that psychelic era of yesteryear....

	I have a question on the chords for "The Pusher" by
	Steppenwolf.  I know the basic chord progression starts
	with:

       O---|---|---|
	---|--o|---|
       O---|---|---|
	---|--o|---|
       O---|---|---|
	---|---|---|


       O---|---|---|---|---|
	---|---|--o|---|---|
       O---|---|---|---|---|
	---|---|---|--o|---|
       O---|---|---|---|---|
	---|---|---|---|---|


       O---|---|---|---|---|---|
	---|---|---|---|--o|---|
       O---|---|---|---|---|---|
	---|---|---|---|--o|---|
       O---|---|---|---|---|---|
	---|---|---|---|---|---|


	What happens when it changes?  Does it go to D?  If so, should I
	simply move up to the 5th fret and start with a D7 barre chord???

	Or is another shape/position used???

	thanks,

	joe.

    I never played along to the record, but I think it's in E.  If so, I
    think your chords are correct for when it goes to the IV (A); for the
    I, just transpose the same chords down to E.

Hi, can anyone give me the chords to EC's version of "Running on Faith?"
I know he's tuned to a slide, but I need the basic chords, particularly with 
the bridge, where I get lost.

I use C 'cos that's how I sing %^{ 

cheers, martin 


C                G          C
Lately I've been running on faith
                G        C7
What else can a poor boy do?
F                         
But my world will be right 
G                    C
When love comes over you

2nd verse same

Bridge:

F           E 
I've always been
A?                     ??
One for each and every day

????????????????????????????????????????????         G?
Seems like by now I'd find a love who cares just for me...


3rd verse...

Then we'd go running....

    Anybody tell me what the little lick Nuno plays in Kid Ego, after the
    intro Em pentatonic theme (just before the verse). It sounds straight 
    forward but I only have a copy on tape so its a real pain to keep running 
    it back etc.. Besides, I'm rusty at lifting licks off of records.
    
    Any help ?

 Are you talking about Jimi ?????

    Which part are you talking about TTT ??

    Just after the intro riff, he plays a run just before he hits the A
    chord.

    
    Speaking of Nuno:
    
    Anyone know the arpeggios that follow this beginning riff in the 
    solo for "Rest In Peace"?
    
                              ^  ^        ^  ^
    E-------------10-9------------------------
    B----------10------10-12-12-12p10----12-12
    G--------9-----------------------h11------
    D-----11----------------------------------
    A--12-------------------------------------
    E-----------------------------------------
    
    
                                     ^
    E-------------10-9-10-----------------
    B----------10---------9-10-11-11-11-9-
    G--------9----------------------------
    D-----11------------------------------
    A--12---------------------------------
    E-------------------------------------
    
    
    Now the riff in question:
    
    
    okay up to here->|
    E-------------10-  -14-14----------15-15----------
    B----------10----  -------15-------------15-------
    G--------9-------  ----------14-------------14----   ????
    D-----11---------  -------------16-------------16-
    A--12------------  -------------------------------
    E----------------  -------------------------------                    
    
    Anyone know if this last part is right?  As with all arps, it's
    played faster than humanly possible (humanly hearable?), so it's
    hard to hear much after the first note of the arp.
    
    The bonus question is:  beyond this, does can anyone tab out
    the run immediately following these arps?
    
    
    guy

    
    Oh yeah....the little "^"'s are whole-note bends, the "p"'s are
    pulloffs, and the "h"'s are hammer-ons...
    
    
    guy

    
    Does anyone know if there is or has in their possession the score (dots
    or tab, but I prefer dots)for "The Lord's Prayer" as Carlton plays it on 
    the "Alone But Not Alone" album.  I think it's someone like Al Motte 
    who's credited with the tune.
    
    Any info greatly appreciated.
    
    Cheers   Pete.
    

    Re: -1

    Does anyone out there know the tab for "Hunger"(?) by Temple of the
    Dog?  Or at least that main chord they play throughout the song?  This
    song definitely gets my vote for '92 Song of the Year.
    
    Thanks,
    Alan

    The entire song was in one of the guitar rags last month. I saw it on
    my son's dresser....it's not there now, and I was afraid to look under
    the bed........
    
    As I remember, it was some kind of a G with a couple of C's thrown in.
    Not too tough.

     Anyone know the chord progression for "Nights in white Satin" by
     the Moody Blues ?
    
    
    
     BTW  Hotel California's chord progression is
    
     verse: Am     E       G       D       F       C      Dm       E
    
     On a dark desert highway........
    
    
    
    
    
     Chorus   F    C    E     Am      F     C      Dm      E
    
     Welcome to the hotel California.......

    "Nights in White Satin" (from memory) is roughly:
    
    	Em           D      Em                D
    Nights in white satin  never reaching the end
    
    Am           C       F                Em 
    Letters I've written never meaning to send
    
    	etc.
    
    Less sure about this part:
    
          Am         C                Em-->D over and over     
    And I love you, yes I love you, I love you
    
    The middle section with flute solo is a section of Em and D, a section
    of C and D , etc., you should be able to dope it out.  An easy song.

Here's my TAB form of Hotel California by the Eagles. I include only
the introduction and the final solo (between these are embellished
chords - see HotelCalifornia.CRD on ftp.nevada.edu and the same file
for the lyrics). The embellishments are not too complex, maybe I'll jot
them down some day & post...


NB This is not 100% like the recordings - there are 2 guitars and I
think one of them is a 10-string for (at least part of) the intro.
The following sounds like a reasonable blend of the two parts though.

Bm                        F#
On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
A                     E
Warm smell of Calitas rising up through the air
G                        D
Up ahead in the distance I saw a shimmering light
Em                                        F#
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim, had to stop for the night

[Note the Em, not E, in the last line - I tend to play a full barre chord for the
Bm and the F#, but that's probably a matter of personal preference.]

Also, the chorus is:

G                    D
Welcome to the Hotel California
F#                   Bm
It's a lovely place, It's a lovely place    [or lyrics to that effect...]
G                             D
There's plenty of room at the Hotel California
Em                       F#
Any time of year you can find it here       [substitute appropriate lyrics depending
                                             on which chorus it is]

Bm    224432
F#    244322

     
    1940.625 chord progression is meant to be played with a capo
    on the second fret BTW...thanks for the Moody blues tune folks !

> Em                                        F#
> My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim, had to stop for the night

Isn't the Em actually an Em7?

alan

I thought it was warm smell of "colichas"... what _are_ they...?

    Jeez, guys: it's "the warm smell of caliph dust"...
