Topic: Hummingbird

The song goes something like this. I like to do sort of tabs on their sides, so it will look kinda wierd.

4/4 Time, notes are eight notes, about 120 BPM

Re: Hummingbird

Hi Danspr,

Ive seen this when it was posted first.  I am very surprised none of the guitar experts here have made any comments at all!!

I was wishing to glean some info as to get an insight into your piece.

Come on Lads. Whats the story here? Someone ? Anyone? HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

This site seems like a ghost  town these days! I agree with old doll (not to be too modest.)

Re: Hummingbird

This is a very interesting, yet effective way to write tabs. I've never seen it this way. I have to kinda turn my head to the side but it works. I like the melody of the notes. Not all great songs need lyrics. Jessica, Euoropa, etc. Just a suggestion.............

Give everything but up.

It's always hard to present a melody in a sorta DIY tab form on Chordie. Most members here won't have the time or inclination to workout what you have in mind. So they won't comment.
I know as most of my songs have been instrumentals which I present in a finished form ie recorded and put on Myspace for anyone to hear if they are curious enough.
Chords and lyrics are more easy to understand in written form and have a go at and therefore invite more comments.
So get down and record it. I would like to hear it.

Re: Hummingbird

Hi dnaspr.  Since I play autoharp, guitar tabs are not something I pay much attention to . . .
Just visited your new MySpace Music page and sent a friend request.

Seems as if you already have some lyrics, but I couldn't make out most of the words.
Neat melodic line - look forward to hearing more of your stuff.  James

Re: Hummingbird

The Lyrics are:

Hummingbird why don't you just die today

They found the grail for which we betray

They've killed the reason for which we live and die

They've found the bed on which we lie

Now kill the man that ate the grain

That is the one who caused us pain

That is the snake that eats away

out inner thouthts

it is the negitive in the world

Re: Hummingbird

Hey danspr
Glad you went ahead and recorded the song.
All sounds very dark and moody to me that's my impression.
Well done
