CAN ANYONE POINT ME TO THIS EAGLES TUNE?
Mason William's "Classical Gas"
You will need ten fingers
Hammer-on's
Pull-off's
Classical picking
Strumming
You will need chords all up and down the neck. This song is an instrumental...it was recorded some 40 years ago. THOUSANDS of guitarists for all walks and disciplines have tried it and failed William’s website claims 100 have covered it, but I think he is being modest. It’s a ROYAL b*tch but once you got it is the balls. I have always wanted to play the tune with an R-n-R back beat but after 30 years of trying…..well….
It’s still available to buy and I imagine, download, so, good luck
<font face="Arial">My 66 SG Standard with 490’s (the neck pickup is hot wired). Late at night, when the world is asleep, if you listen close you will hear music coming right out of the guitar. I play it through a ’53 Fender Vibrolux or a Marshall, depending on the song. For fretboard ease, I once had a Hagstrom II that played itself, I was just a fixture used to hold it up. My acoustic is a deep-bowl Ovation Ultra with a carbonite neck. The pickup is under the bridge so I get GREAT bass response with transparent High end. When my bassist is on guitar, I can easily add the bass lines.</font>
I’m Dyslexic and took years and years AND YEARS! of music theory and advanced theory and then had to make in work in my head: The Keep It Simple Stupid personified!
I play semi-pro now but Pro for 15 years and have taught music.
THE BRODIE has a great idea with the Circle Of Fifths, but if it doesn’t make sense, try this: Put the chords of the song on paper, is a straight line. Decide what Key you want to experiment with and count up, making the original Key #1 – for instance; the song is play in E but your singer needs really tight underwear to do it now, so you want to go to G (I’m in this boat now, can you tell?)
E F G is 3 notes (E=1 F=2 G=3 sharps and flats don’t count, yet)
Your “major” chords are 1, 4, 5 and possibly the minor, so
1 4 5 6minor
E A B Cm becomes
G C D Em
If you know Barre Chord patterns, you will notice they won’t change much. I go down in half-steps from the highest note in my limited singing range, so move down one fret at a time until your vocals sound top-notch again. Sometimes, just changing the voicing of the accompaniments can help. Explore that too.
