Groo

Here's the tab for Whatever http://www.sweetadeline.net/hangingout.txt

Jeff is an incredible singer, but everyone makes mistakes.

That being said, I thought "What Light" was much better in Bb.

$30? Nope.

I don't have a band, but I did just make a myspace profile for my songs (mostly works in progress). Not much on it yet, but what's on it is good: http://www.myspace.com/filipransom

The version up on there is Capo 5. On, on piano it would be Am, C, F, C, G, Am, etc...

Thanks! I thought I saw it on here, couldn't find it with a search.

Anyone know this one?

I've always heard it as "swap bop swap bop." Just sort of nonsensical fun words.

I wouldn't worry too much about being let down by the album as a whole. I'm not crazy about Side With The Seeds either (mainly because of Jeff's straining for vocals that are clearly out of his range), but there's plenty of great stuff on there, including Either Way, You Are My Face, and the title track.

This song is quite clearly within his range. Are you deaf?

Who cares? You'll get the album, and that's all that really matters.

The only song I can really think of is "Won't Let You Down" off the YHF Demos, and even that one ain't so bad.

Well, if you'd sign up for the Wilco ensemble for next session, I bet Bob would get is song-figurin' out ninja skills working for you. Come on man, you know you want to sign up! Bob's got this song totally figured out and we are ready to rock it at the Sky Blue Sky record release party at the Hideout. Now all we need is groo.

You present a strong argument. Hopefully, I can still get into the class after I get my paycheck this week.

I'm having some trouble getting this part to sound right/getting the timing down. Is this played as 16th note triplets (or something like that)?

I was just messing around with this last night, after watching the tweedy solo DVD. I got it sounding pretty close by taking that Gumbopages tab for the solo, and looking at the notes. Then, I just picked out those notes while alternately strumming an Am chord. For example, the first riff would be like:

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

B----------------------------1

G----------------------------2

D--------------2-------------2

A--0---0---3------3--2--0--0

E-----------------------------0

You rock.

Ok well here's the little first lick that comes in at the 1:15.

 

e 6-7-9-----6-7-8-------5-7--14-12-------------

b -------8----------5------------------12---------

g ------------------------------------------11-12-

d --------------------------------------------------

a --------------------------------------------------

e --------------------------------------------------

It sounds like they play this lick three times during the song. The last time they play it, it sounds like the ending is slightly different. I can't quite figure it out (and I don't have a gutair on me to double-check) but it kind of sounds like this to me:

e 6-7-9-----6-7-8-------5-7--14-12----------------

b -------8----------5------------------12------------

g -------------------------------------------------12-

d ----------------------------------------------12----

a ------------------------------------------12--------

e -----------------------------------------------------

Does anyone have any idea what pedal(s) is(are) used on the solo in "You Are My Face"? It sounds face-rippingly awesome, and I have no clue where to even start.

Nice guitar work, the guitar sounds great. The vocals sound awful at first, and then decent. If you work on it, I think you can pull it off. I'm no expert on these things, but I think you may have been singing the song sharp.

I don't have the DVD for reference, but when he plays it solo, he likes to play a D7, and hammer on the b-string.

example:

D7

e--2

B--1

G--2

D--0

A--0

E--x

hammer on:

e--2

B--0h1p0

G--2

D--0

A--0

E--x

Isn't the Bm/D actually a G/D?

e -3--

b -3--

g -4--

d -0--

Fuck profit, buy a guitar you'll enjoy playing.

For $400, I would want to make real sure I knew what the hell I was doing.

Quite simple, really. Play the some chords, and move the capo somewhere else. Capo 5 might work better for you, for example.

Seems pretty accurate, I like it. How long do you hold the weird E-chords for? Full measure? Half measure?
