Topic: help me out

I've been playing both electric and accoustic guitar for a few years, rather I should say just toying with it but i'm now unable to work so have time on my hands. I would dearly love to be able to play the fantastic intro to chuck berry's johnny B Good, but have no idea how to read tab, only chords can someone plaese help me out????

Re: help me out

I've actually tried this song and it's a little complicated so I put it aside (the tempo is killing me) ... I'll try and research the intro for you today and explain the intro

If you can wait a few hours I will make a video and upload it to the link at the bottom of this post under the heading "johnny b Good intro" just click on it and download the file (its free) and it should play on your media player it will be a wmv format smile

Re: help me out

any idea how to download the video so I can play it on our 47" tv? sorry to be a pest but it looks so much more easier when watching you play it, cheers simon!

Re: help me out

I use the newer version of real player. It allows me to download any video or sound clip that I find on the web. Then it's just a matter of burning to dvd. If you don't use real player and don't want to install it, you can watch the video then go to your Temp files and pull it for burning that way but it's more complicated... I'd go with Real Player... It's free! You can even download music videos then change them to audio files for cd burning. Not that I'd do that... I believe in supporting the artist and buying the cd! -Pix

It doesn't matter where you go in life... What you do... Or how much you have,,, Its who you have beside you!
