Ditto here. Neil Young and Bob Dylan are true icons in the music industry. I am incredibly thankful for their contributions to this wonderful world of music. These guys are near the top of my list anyday..............And they're both just flat out cool dudes too!

Here's the deal -- the chords [various websites] say 'yes' but, alas, the 'ear' says 'no' !
Put another way, what am I missing! Naturally, I do a post on 12 string tuning and with the 12 string in hand, what better tune for the 12 string than Gordon Lightfoot's "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" [Sidebar: I hear if you capo the 'second' fret, you can play along with the original tune] -- anyway, here's where my ear is in rebellion, so to speak, the progression is Asus2/ Em/G/D/Asus2 and I've seen that in countless chord renditions for the opening of the tune ==but== when the Asus2 chord falls on, how do I express this, bear with me, the "mee" in "gumee" or indeed the [** phonetically rendered now] 'mee' in "gloomy" or 'tee' in "empty" or 'lee' in "early", the Asus2 sounds, well, out of pitch yet I don't know anything else that works 'but' the Asus2 chord, sooooo, what am I missing or doing wrong? Try it yourself -- "On the 'big' [G on 'big' ] lake they 'call' [D on 'call'] Gichee Goo [OK with the Asus2 on Goo] ==but== when completing the word and vocalizing the 'mee' in 'Goomee', the Asus2 sounds odd to the ear! What am I missing in this great and haunting tune?
Doc Tony
I understand what you're saying doctony. You have the right idea and you're on the right track as well. When you say the Asus2 sounds wrong you simply play an A. So try it like this;
Asus2 Em G D Asus2 A
That should do it.
Any song about 'cooties', directly or indirectly mentioned, is a hit in my book! One just can't wrong with 'cooties'!?!? Excellent story and another well written song.
Michael Bolton is about as talented, well almost, as an alarm clock. Russ, ole pal surely you're pullin' our leg(S) right?
Must change trousers now ...
Double, triple, Quadruple to that. HA HA HA!!!!!!!!!!!
Male Voice; Ronnie James Dio (Black Sabbath, Dio, etc) and Levon Helm (The Band)
Female Voice; Bjork (Sugarcubes, Solo) and Bonnie Raitt
The little o symbol is notation for a diminshed chord and here's how you play it;
Patchouli oil, and tons of it. I can wear my clothes 6-10 more days without having to wash them simply by smearing the magical patchouli oil on the stinky places. If it works on my malodorous clothes, I'm sure it'll rid your guitar case of that play-doughy aroma.........

Fox news, Rush Limbarf, Ann Coulter.......... excuse me, I just had to go out back and work my heavy bag(punching bag) for a few hours. I loathe the 3 afore mentioned modern day demons of deception and unjust propoganda, but hey, that's just me. I'm sure if i got to know them personal and up close..., eh, never mind......
Great song James, I do indeed like the way you get out what's within, very well said Sir.

Music theory 101 here; E and B have no sharps(#)
F and C have no flats (b)
There is no such thing as B#m. The corrected chord in this version;
http://www.chordie.com/chord.pere/www.b … t=11094592
is C# (x46664). The chord diagrams have the correct chords but the chord over lyric is incorrect ( Bfm= C# in this song)
It'd be much easier to play this song dropping it down a half step and play a G F C progression. Or play C's relative minor (Am) using a G F Am progression. There are so many instruments layered in Lionel's recording of the song. Perhaps alternating G F C and G F Am might sound nice.
Felice and Boudleaux Bryant wrote a ton of songs more succesful for the cover artist than for them;

Although he was a lyricist, he may fall under the catagory you're looking for;
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernie_Taupin
Ditto for this guy;Robert Hunter (Grateful Dead)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Hunter_(lyricist)
And last but not least, this guy might take the cake. Ladies and gents, LEADBELLY;
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leadbelly
"Lead Belly has also been covered by Ry Cooder, Lonnie Donegan, Grateful Dead, Johnny Cash, Gene Autry, The Beach Boys, Odetta, Led Zeppelin, Billy Childish (who named his son Huddie), Mungo Jerry, Nirvana, Paul King, Michelle Shocked, Tom Waits, Ron Sexsmith, British Sea Power, Rod Stewart, Ernest Tubb, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, The White Stripes, The Fall, The Doors, Smog, Old Crow Medicine Show, Spiderbait, and Raffi, among many others."
Old Doll,
This is a very cool, hip, colorful, thought provoking gem of a song! Awesome. I could imagine one the hot new comers like KT Tunstall or someone along her status performing this song, after you show 'em how it's done, of course. Hope all's golden and grand with you.
Ciao Bella,

X = do not play O=play string open
on Asus2
low E string(thickest)-X do not play
A string-play open
D string-play 2nd fret
G string-play 2nd fret
B string-play open
High E string(thinnest) play open
and click on the chord finder link I sent you, it's essentially connect the dots.
(X02200) is the most common way to play Asus2. Here a nifty little resource that'll answer just about any questions regarding how to play a certain chord; http://www.all-guitar-chords.com/index. … mp;get=Get

All about scales (with video):
Awesome source! Justin has some serious good karma coming his way. Payin' it foward!
Coincidentally, all of this ballyhoo arose around the same time the 'National Enquirer' and similar 'people will believe anything that's in print' magazines came to fruition. Just because it's written down a piece of paper does't mean it's true. Why can't people absorb this ? By the way, for 12 million dollars, I can answer any question any living person wishes to ask. Just send me the money and telepathically, I'll answer your question after your physical body has departed this earth. Just send the money to the lonely hearts' club band...............
No disrespect from this musician towards the police in any way, shape, nor form. I have several friends who are on the job and I know how thankless, risky, stressful, and underappreciated this line of work can be. Walk a mile in another mans' shoes ......................
Hey, I'm Punkrocket ( Southpaw41L's daughter ). I'm 13 years old and I play bass. I just learned a new song today ( Carolina Liar- I'm not over ), my dad taught me. 
Simple solutions;
1) Get your own microphone, only your lips touch this microphone
2) Get up close to the microphone. Touch your lips, gently to the microphone, if you come to a part in a song when you sing louder, move away slightly from the microphone.
3) If step #2 doesn't work, turn down the volume of the accompanying instruments OR turn up the volume on your microphone channel in mixer/amp.
4) Have good posture when you sing, don't slouch, use musical breaks to fill your lungs full of air.
5) Don't be shy, sing like you're alone drivin' in your car or scrubbin' the crud off in the shower............

Hey, SouthPaw, thanks for the link man, my injury doesent sound so bad next to yours.
I'll keep on keeping on, Thanks Man.Luck to all!!!
Headcase,
Severity of injuries are all relative. The important thing is to overcome and pursue your goal(s). I thought I had it rough a few times and began to feel sorry for myself and wonder, 'why me'? Then I would see a person in a wheel chair getting around by themselves using only their mouth to control a device that controlled their chair. And while in the hospital, the trauma unit was right beside the burn victim unit. The sights, sounds, and smells that I observed in that place will enable one to put things in proper perspective real fast. Have you seen the video on youtube of the guy with no arms playing 'Last Dance With Mary Jane'? You'll be fine and know that there are people out here in the 'wild blue yonder' willing to help out and make the hard times a little bit easier.
Peace and Guitars,

If you were at the Virginia Busch Gardens, you were mere miles from some of the nation's best orthopeadic surgeons in the country at the University of Virginia. I understand your reluctance to have surgery here and return home after your family, though. That's a tough call and there's no wrong answer in it.
Best of luck with recovering from your injury. I'll be praying for you.
- Zurf
I second Zurf's assertion that University of Virginia has some of the planets best orthopaedic, reconstructive, and plastic surgeons. The fine doctors at UVA saved my life and my arm. I am forever grateful to them.........

I have a really good one about sympathy and where you find it in the dictionary, but this is not just an adult website...
Would you be so kind as to e-mail this one to me?

Hi to all on Chordie, well I'm back from America, after three weeks but things did not go as planed.
I won't go into all the details now, I'll get around to them latter in another post.
Anyone who has read my posts will know i had planed to take out a years Membership with Jam-Play, this however will have to be put on hold as I fell at the start of my third week, in Busch-Gardens and smashed my right wrist and arm. The Doctor in America wanted to oparate, but that would have ment me being left behind when my family returned home, so I waited till I returned to Belfast. I now have to see a specilist to see if I need an oparation, as the arm and wrist are pretty well smashed up. I'm typing this left handed and even after more than a week I'm still in a lot of pain. So I can't even practies, there is a slite chanch if it is not set right I could lose the use off my right hand, so at the minute i feel gutted, still I am hoping for the best. More at a later date?Luck to all, Headcase.
You can deal with almost anything this f'd up world throws at you. Please read link.........I'll be more than happy to help you through this temporary obstacle.
Sincerely,
Toney Hall(SouthPaw41L)
