Topic: Sylvia's Mother - Dr. Hook

I'm trying to learn to play this song, but there's a little 5 beat riff that's played a couple of times in the introduction that I haven't been able to figure out.  Can anyone help me? <img src="images/smiley_icons/icon_confused.gif" border=0 alt="Confused">

Re: Sylvia's Mother - Dr. Hook

I don't really know what you mean, because the song on it self is very easy, you can find the song on chordieA]Sylvia's mother says Sylvia's busy, too busy to come to the p[E]hone

Sylvia's mother says Sylvia's trying, to start a new life of her [A]own.

[D]Sylvia's mother says S[A]ylvia's happy...

So w[E]hy don't you leave her a[A]lone?

And the [E]operator says :" Fourty cents more, for the next three minutes."

Ple[D]ase Mrs. Adria, I've j[A]ust got to talk to her

        [E]I'll only keep her a wh[A]ile

        [D]Please Mrs. Adria, just w[A]ant to tell her

        Goodb[E]ye...

So this is easy, I added song and lyrics. The only way, MY OPINION!!! is once you have a certain level, playing guitar, the best way to continue learning is play along with a song that you know, on a music CD. It is also a very good test for checking your "music feeling". I think I understand you, because of the song "sweet home alabama"the intro is easy and difficult at the same time. Even the guys from lynard skynard play it on stage, live, without the little "things", but just straight D----C----G
