  • Another approach to «how can I play...», a chapter I will add to the tutorial:

  • I rewrote my tutorial with a somewhat different approach and added some useful charts:

    • Good information Moritz. A few slightly confusing parts but well worth working through.

      • Thanks Jim for the comment, I'm still working on this tutorial. I think working with cord sheets would be less painfull for beginners if the could play scales with chords, I'm still working on this idea. Later I will have to ask somebody to put this tutorial in a readable form: I didn't learn english in school, just by the way travelling and at work. Have a good time!

        • You're doing well with the English and with the scales and chords. I learned this stuff a long time ago and it comes in quite useful for me. I also know some great players who don't know any of it. They are blessed with having certain sounds in their head and the ability to find those sounds quickly on their instrument.

  • To return to the initial question: given a chord sheet, how can I get the tabulature? There will not always be an always friendly and patient Jim Morris ready to help to answer these common questions with a video, so everybody should know how to do this herself or himself. As there are no short answers to these requests, I tried to write a short tutorial:

  • I was hoping someone else would post a vid of how they'd play these chords. I posted one here using CGc tuning but Dustin wanted them in GDg tuning which turned out to be easier than my first attempt. I tried to whistle the melody so as to keep track of where I was. So here she be. I'll probably post this on the main page too in case others are interested.

  • As Ivsaud, I'd contact them if you wanna use it. Randy Waller and the Country Gentlemen did a cover of it a while back. Here's the backstory. http://freepages.history.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~pearidger/history/w...
    • Hey from down the road in Arab. That's an interesting story. I believe I heard it during a tour of the Maple Hill cemetery one October (when the 'spirits' attend to tell their stories) several years back.

      I'll have to listen to the song at home (work blocks youTube).

    • Sorry. Typo. As I said, now whatever I typed.
