Not that this is my finest moment, but I finally figured out some basic Garageband stuff today and was able to merger ther rhythm and lead parts to Late Winter Early Spring. It isn't correct, but since hardly anybody knows how to play this anyway, you can get away with a lot of mistakes. My brazen ones still stand out, and I will work this out, but this is what I can do now with this tune. I played the rhythm, then overdubbed some bass notes by tuning the 5 and 6 strings down to C and F, then added the lead.

Alright, in spirit of this challenge I'm making myself vulnerable and posting my rendition of "Haul Away Joe." Disclaimers: 1) I recorded this on a cell phone so it's not the greatest quality (alas it's all I have), and 2) I am a dreadful singer so please don't be judgmental. Thank you.

I didn't post progress on the thread, but I did use this challenge as my catalyst to learn Hey Jude fingerstyle. Based on a tabs/staff version in a book I got for Christmas, with some modification. (Now learning another song in there...)
Still playing it every day, and have a couple of little tweaky spots that require me to be better--one, a quick little double pull-off, and another a chord change from an Am7 to D/F# that for some reason is awkward for me. (When my index finger stretches quickly to the F#, my ring and middle fingers don't easily want to move a fret apart. Other directions of going into D/F# don't seem to give me this trouble.) Also, still play Freight Train every day, which was my challenge in that first 14-day thread. There are still some parts to perfect on that, too. So, anyway, while I haven't been a good reporter, I have been a good worker, so thanks for the threads! |

Really nice playing Lynn - love to learn that one for our next jam ( I might be able to remember the tune!!)

Also listened to Cypress's recording - pretty fancy with several tracks - wish I could do some of that lead guitar!

It's real easy. In 2/4 time: |Am /|Em /|Dsus2 /|Em /|Am /|Em /|Dsus2 Em|Am /| and repeat ad nauseam. Use whatever picking pattern you like. I fingerpicked a simple arpeggio but you can flatpick or strum if you wish.

Sorry about your bread slicing incident mc1! Hope it gets better soon so we can hear your new piece I managed to "grate" the top of my thumb yesterday on one of those supersharp microplane graters... fortunately it was my right thumb on a non-contact area ...
