What're some of the songs you are focusing on learning most right now?

[Scotso]

Coming Down From Rising Fawn by Norman Blake

Not sure I will ever get it to speed

[Pauliepoos]

Currently trying to remember and master the chord sequence for “I Will” by The Beatles in the original F key it was recorded in. There’s lots of chords, lots of barre chords and a chord change roughly every second. It’s tricky but I’ve almost got it nailed down.

I really like your version of Let Her Cry CASD57 ! Well done. I wish I could sing.

I've been working on
Hello by Lionel Richie
Telephone Line ELO
And always some Beatles.

Oh Gosh. I really need help on some of these advice. I am lost.



It's a great one indeed. One I like so is why I'm trying to learn it

Transpose....change key
The capo let's you play in a easy key like G but if use a capo on the 2nd fret you can still use G notes like G-D-A but capo'd on the 2nd fret put you playing it the Key of A. Or the 3rd fret the key of A# and on and on
So you find a song in F but what to play with easier chords you could capo on 2nd fret and the song will be in G
On Ultimate.com under tabs you find most any song you want and it let's you transpose the song... So that you can find where you can sing it

[fpuhan]

Can't Find My Way Home (I'm trying to improve my fingerpicking).
Hold Your Head Up (Argent's song with the great keyboard solo. Sounds... different... on acoustic).
A Lenny Burrell "warm up" using minor 7th, major 7th and ninth chords with a little bass run.
An acoustic Eric Clapton-style piece. Uses Clapton-style acoustic riffs.

Working on this as well ...seems simple but to get it down right takes a lot of practice

Here's how to do it:

Change C chord to G
Change G chord to D
Change Am chord to Em
Change F chord to C

Strum up and down and count 1,2,3,4 1,2,3,4 etc

Nice intro is G D Em C G D C G Keep strumming the last G until you get to the word "times" and switch to D etc.

I think you likely mean “Reflections Of My Life” by The Marmalade. I started playing that one upon the passing of Dean Ford a year or so ago.

[jschmitz54]

South City Midnight Lady by the Doobie Brothers.
Using hybrid picking. It’s not that difficult but playing up to speed is challenging.

[_zedagive]

The Lindsey Buckingham solo in Landslide.

[The Bard Rocks]

I usually play mostly traditional stuff and sometimes stuff my duo plays, but right now am finishing a CD of my own music. I will be heartily ready for something else by the time it goes to production. But must admit I am getting much better at them than I thought I would be. So practicing must work! (In case anyone ever doubted...)

I’ve been working on Andy McKee’s version of this song. Pretty tricky with the percussive rhythm.

Yes it is! I'm determined though. I'm convinced it can be done. Just hope it doesn't end up taking months.

Yea, I did it a while back. I did it in double drop D (both E's tuned down to D) and it seemed to make sense on some level. It is a challenging piece. Here is my rendition:

[buddyhu]

Sunflower River Blues.
Crow River Waltz.
St. Louis Blues.
