Bluegrass gospel song from last rebel.... (Page 1 of 2)

Last Rebel,
There is always room for song/words like this in my space! Thought prevoking!

Well Done!

Old Doll.

Hi rebel
Has a negro spiritual feel about the lyrics.
Not knowing much about bluegrass.
Nice.

i like ur signature dude,... charlie daniels wrote that i think.

Thank yall for the compliments... personally i think it had more of a ralph stanley type feel but yeah you could change the rythym up and make it sound like a spiritual, not a bad idea actually i might try that later.

All You Need is Love

You're not playing IN G but you are forming a G chord with your fingers. Its actually in like 4 flats so change it if that makes you happy but I can't hit a Gb yet. The main reason i capo it is because i can't sing that low, but you can play it anywhere you want to....

All You Need is Love

And all transposition problems aside, that's a wonderful song.

That's OK.  I'm just up on my theory soap-box as of late.  Most folks will get what you mean.  I just like to see the chords written as is, because I rarely play with a cappo, and prefer to barre instead. 

For bluegrass it makes sense, because %99 of bluegrass songs are using that G C D progression played at the nut.

Gah!  Good catch.

I'm not anti-capo.  I just like to see songs written using the chords that are being played, rather than the chord shapes being played.   So in this instance, he's still not playing G, he's playing A#.

yeah  i was playing around and the g shape in 2nd fret sounds like A to me....
All of this has got me thinking maybe i should try getting lessons one of these days.

All You Need is Love

Either way yo play the chord its the meaning in the words thats supposed to catch ur attention on this site, correct?  since its not recorded on here we'll rely on a great work by last rebel!

Good Job!

Well, no.  Not for me.  With the group I play in, the only songs to which I know the words are the ones I wrote.   Everything else is "lalalalalalalala"

For me, it's the music that matters.  Lyrics are completely interchangeable.

well lat ti da for you jerome......that's your opinion and your as welcome to it as i am to mine....  sure the chords and riffs  in a song are supposed to set the tone of the work of music or song in many cases, but in the words of someone i heard one time......"If you can't say what you mean, then you can't mean what you say"...lyrics are the direct representation of how one feels and it is shown in how they are sung and how a song is worded..............sometimes what you say is more important than how the chords flow.....if a song relies on sound alone to speak for the artist then what is the point of trying to say anything at all????
