Topic: For Astronomikal

On "I Got a Name" - the chords I used last night were from Ultimate Guitar.  I don't think they're quite right, but they're a good starting place.  However, for that passing bass line you said you like at the end of the verses, the chords are listed as C/D, but it sounds a lot better doing a C then moving to whatever chord it is if you move the C on the fifth string to a B (I raise my ring finger and move my middle finger from the fourth string second fret to fifth string second fret and put my ring finger on the fourth string second fret, picking the fifth string with my thumb and simultaneously the 1,2,3 strings with my index, middle, and ring finger), then the next "chord" is to play the fifth strong open as an A. 

This gives you a walk-down with the C chords treble notes and C, B, A as the bass notes.  But again, on the A just play the A without the treble notes.  Use the break to move your treble fingers for the D chord and set right into it.  It sounds pretty good. 

I think that's what I did.

Re: For Astronomikal

Thanks Zurf.  I have a version of the song that I messed around with for a while a couple of years ago.  I put it down because at the time it was well beyond my skill level.  Now I think I might be ready to tackle it again.

I'm going to see if I can email you a copy of it.  Let me know what you think about it.

Thanks again.
