craig23 wrote:A good thing to do is record yourself playing the normal chord progression. Then go back and "play" around with the scale while your recording is playing. Just like the pros do in the studio. They call it overdubbing. You can go all out and buy all kinds of studio gear or a stand alone recorder, but you can just use the recorder on your computer to keep it on the cheap. I started with a simple blues progression E A B and just went up and down the blues scale till it just clicked.
I second that and you won't believe how much fun this can be!!!!
Great cover. I've heard the Chris Cornell one before. One of my favs. The other kid's version is fantastic as well. Great stuff and I hate the original!!!
Could we add picks as well. It'd be cool to keep it going. I have some unusual picks I'd like to add to the mix....Thoughts???

So have I, but the B vexes me. It mocks me from the shadows. I can't say for sure, but I think it's what has been taking the socks from my laundry, and I'm suspicious of its relationship with my dog. I think it's teaching her bad habits.

This could very well be!!!!! You're just way more tenacious than I am. Give up and be at peace with the cheesy version of B. You'll sleep better and your dog will thank you!!
Let Russell Harding mock those of us who make the cheesy B. He's way better a player than I can hope to be anyhow....
I user the double bar method as well. Over the years I've trained my ring finger to mute the high E pretty much all the time by bending the second knuckle. Of course I've never injured my ring finger as you have so that's sort of an advantage. Not a true B but good enough for me. I've got bigger problems than that when it comes to my playing!!!
I feel your pain. I too cannot drink caffiene in excess anymore. Used to be an addict now just too old. Still need a cup ot 2 but that's it. Careful with that energy drink...don't get on a skateboard or anything young like that!!!

What ever floats your boat, buddy.
I'm going to recommend neither but hey like Selso says...whatever floats the boat
Just the opposite problem here. Everything I write is ridiculous and perverse. Closest I've come to a love song is a song about my Dog.Yes, I have 2 boys and a wife!!

That stuff burns!!!!! But it works!!! Smell is kind of strong...should be called Tiger's A**.
That's beautiful, haunting melody
Nice work as always sir. I don't want to hijack the thread but I was considering trying dobro. Have you ever played a round neck upright like a regular guitar (I think they call it spanish style)??
No experience with that model. I recently bought an Alvarez AD60-12 and can't stop playing it....very playable just over 200.00 US
In a word.....no. Why would one want to?

I'd second that motion.
That would be very cool. Other sites do it and it seems very effective
Holy S^%$. I'm both impressed and depressed. That man is a monster....
I find acoustic playing to be more "forgiving" than electric playing. When playing an electric every small detail is transmitted. An acoustic is physically more challenging in that it requires more effort action wise but playing electric requires more precision... IMHO. It's a challenge going from acoustic to electric as it is going from electric to acoustic. In some respects they're like different instruments. And then you'll pick up a bass........
My 2 cents:
Can read both. Mostly use tab when available but standard conveys so much more information. Using tab is a lazy thing for me. I mostly try to play originals so my use of either is not heavy.

Not such a bad choice in spouse either. Biggest marital score for an ugly dude since Rick Ocasek
Doc,
Europe the band? Don't really remember them???? But what little I do remember is not with fondness. I was never a fan of that "pretty metal" phase that took place in the 80's and 90's. Were they part of that?I don't consider myself a metal fan but I have great respect for some of better bands even though I don't care for genre as a whole. Was Europe one of those "super bands" made up of players from other bands like Damn Yankees and GTR? Not my thing
Hey,
Check the properties of your microphone in Windows control panel as well. Alot of sound cards have an option for "microphone boost" usually a check box. Make sure that's unchecked. If it isn't almost every mic I've tried (wiht mic boost on) is hissy and overmodulated. I only offer this up as you'll spend time tweaking all your inputs and no matter what you do if mic boost is enabled it'll be awful. Might save you some frustration!!!
Well done. I love the simple yet effective chord progression.

First off I would like to come to Jerome's defense, he has posted some very useful info, and has been there to answer questions as long as I can remember being here on chordie. I do think if I called you an expert everything would be cool but it's a little different refering to one's self. That seems to have gotten alot attention. I think if your intentions are good everything will be cool.
Thanks for this post. Take note how this a polite, lucid and civil comment rather than condescending or defensive.

Thanks for the laugh.
I play it in basic 12 bar dirty blues in E. I have lots of fun with this one. It's often almost impossible to get through the entire song without laughing all over my microphone
Again, thanks for sharing. I hadn't thought of a blues take on that.
