funny this...

 

i always play Gun with a capo on 2 and sing it lower like jeff used to at solo shows. a few hours ago, i decided to try it open and sing it high and it sounded pretty ok.... the first time i ever tried it without a capo

No kidding! I tried that for the first time yesterday too! Mad.

Agreed, I always move any song in G up to A. Actually, I probably play with a capo on 2 more than I play open.

G --------2-----2-0---|

D ----3------3---------|

A -1---1-------------1-|

D ----------------------| Or something close to that, I don't have my guitar handy.

Anybody interested in this? I'm planning to work on it during the three-day weekend (woot) but I'm also hoping someone has beat me to it.

Real Question: Does anybody have it?

If not...

:Does anybody want it?

Edit: Found it! This is from the archives-

Theologians

First, the Latin. This is my best stab at what JT's saying, but I don't know Latin so it's a blind stab at best. The first two words mean illiterate light which is a no-brainer since that's what he says later. The last word means "faith, trust or confidence" according to the first latin-english dictionary that came up on Google. Good enough for me. (Of course, any and all corrections are appreciated.)

This has a loose bluesy feel to it so feel free to deviate a little from the tab if it suits the song.

Drop D. No capo.

To make this a little easier I'll divide this into parts:

Part I-

~FINITUS~

Damn!

Good, now I have a reason to use a capo on my electric, I've always felt like a wuss.

I had this idea for a capo that would not actually clamp down on all the strings but instead allow you to choose what strings you want capoed, allowing you to hit alternate tunings without the tuning part. However, I just found a capo that did exactly this. Anybody have this? Heard of it? I'm really interested as I'm always moving inbetween tunings and that puts a lot of stress on my guitars; stress I would like to avoid. Is it worth the $12?

Someone had photos of them at one of the living room shows, I think it was the most recent. Looked like Hohner Blues Harps to me, pretty sweet.

I don't even use those stupid augmented, suspended chords. Plain old D, G, and A for me, baby. But, you can hear the difference, if you're a geek.

Check it.

There's a tab of it somewhere around here...

But, until someone finds that:

Capo on 2

It's A Em D for the whole song, here's the tab:

e---0----0-----0----0---0---2--2---

b---0h2-0h2--2----0----0--3--3---

g---2----2-----2----0---0--2--2----

d---2----2-----2----2---2--0--0----

a---0----0-----0----2---2--------

e--------------------0---0-------

Alright, that's mega rough. I'll find that thread.

Just throw a capo on 2 and play two bars of A, then one of Em and D. You gotta mix up the rhythm a bit - hammer on second fret of the B-string when you're playing the A. Like this.

 

E---------------------------00---22---

B----0h2---0h2----00-----00---33---

G ------2----- 2----22-----00---22---

D-------2------2----22-----22---00---

A----------------------------22---------

E----------------------------00---------

 

Just play that throughout. Easy. I have the bridge solo, too, if you want that. I'll post it when it's not finals week.

That's from knivesout. Cheers!

Never finished it the first time, Steinbeck ruined me. Turns out I have to read it for an assignment anyways so, game on.

C is an Am7 shape (in standard tuning) and G is just an open strum.

Alright, sorry this took me so long. I think Bobbob was asking about it. Or Rico Suave. Or UNBELIEVABLE!

I don't remember anymore. Nonetheless, here is the intro.

Open G Tuning

Hope this works for some people!

I've played a few Taylors, one was a Big Baby I think and, I was not too impressed. I'm not sure if my friend humidifies his guitars but the frets were sticking off the neck a wee bit just enough to scrape my hands. I'd say if you are looking to buy an expensive Taylor, go for a middle class Martin. I'm pretty partial to Martins though.

How do you get the "Code?" Is it just an option?

Bump

Oh, it's off a show DVD? Hmm, that's beyond me. Bummer.

Could you post that said video? Please?

This is sans-guitar but it should be right for the most part.

There's the basic intro, here's a little extra to be played over the same part:

Alright, that's really rough, and there's a little bit more to the fill thing but, I don't want to muddy it up too much since I don't have a guitar and may not be thinking too coherently. Feel free to make any corrections, I'm sure it may need some.

Forearm pass!

I've got some. I'll get these up tonight hopefully.

I agree. I wouldn't try playing Airline too soon. But, if you are determinded to play it, just play the chords for now minus the bassline. Once you get the timing, then try adding the bassline. I also agree to playing along to recordings of whatever song you are learning, it helps as I still do it occasionally. If you need recordings of any song, don't be afraid to ask.

What song are you working on first?
