Thanks for the great advice everyone! I think just seeing that there are some other people out there like me, and that there are others willing to share their experience really gives me a confidence boost and a confidence in a direction to charge ahead in. I started playing Johnny Cash's version of "Hurt", which has some simple string picking flair. Flatpicker/Kaji - I had learned Greensleeves years ago from a tab that works from chord shapes, like you suggest. I will definitely try applying this to some other songs. All - please feel free to add more to this post, everything looks great so bar, but I as sure there additional ideas as well.
Thanks!
Hi all. I have been playing guitar for 17 years now. Now, while I admittedly have not been die hard, I still cant seem to do more then strum chords and sing along. While I enjoy this, I would like to be able to play without singing, such that what I am playing sounds like a song, not just a bunch of repeating chords. Anyone have any tips on how I might start moving to that next level?
Thanks Jets. I gave it a shot, but here is what I got back:
"thanks for the inquiry. you happened to pick one of the weirdest songs i've written. structurally it's pretty easy, but there's no way i could even begin to tell you all the weird chords and voicings.
i would suggest getting someone who's good at figuring out songs off cds and have a crack at it that way.
make it your own.
once again, thanks for asking --
ds"
Guess I am going to have to try again the old fashioned way. Who knows...maybe I'll learn something and actually become a better player!
bump - still looking. I tried figuring it out myself on youtube, but, i suck.
Has anyone seen this one anywhere?
I would like to print out my songbook, lyrics only for all the songs (this would be for campfire singers to sing along with the songs). Is there a way to do this?
Thanks,
Joe
