Brett Dennen - Darlin' Do Not Fear

20100116:
I decided that I would put a capo at the 8th fret instead of playing a barred C chord. And by rewriting the tab with respect to the 8th fret, you can move the capo to whichever key you want.

Just once. I perhaps disagree with my decision to put a capo at the 8th. It feels limiting. Although it makes it easy to see the overall structure of the tab.

20110324:
My notes above allowed me to play the intro somewhat fluidly, as it was merely playing the standard scale, starting at the eighth fret. I moved the notes that weren't in the scale to the nearest note in the scale, simply as a preference.

Singing along sounded weird, so I changed from playing just C C E7 E7 to C Am E7 Am.
Or I guess in the key it's Ab Ab C7 C7 to Ab Fm C7 Fm.

I just noticed that the same note that wasn't in the scale is what makes the C7 a C7 instead of a Cm7 (i.e, an E7 instead of a Em7). Playing C C Em7 Em7 sounds better than C C E7 E7. And playing it C Am Em7 Am isn't so bad. Though sometimes the C7 has the right sound to it. It might depend on the lyrics. Definitely sticking with just C C E7 E7 won't sound right, at least not to my ears.

Everclear - Wonderful

Played 20100101: This was an easy enough song, that before looking at the tab, I knew the first chord is G, and that the key was in G, and that the other two chords would be D and C, and was pretty sure on the G D C D progression. But not entirely. Though I knew it didn't sound like Brown-Eyed Girl, so it wasn't a G C G D progression. And the music was lively enough to not contain an Am or Em. The Dsus4 does sound better than the D, but I wonder if it should replace the second D as well. G Dsus4 C Dsus4 instead of the below G Dsus4 C D. ::shrug:: If just playing the guitar part as done in the song, the strumming is Strum, Strum Strum, Strum Strum, Strum Strum... where the two strums are strumming one chord from the previous and then the next, i.e., G, G D, D C, C D, D G, etc. But when playing alone, or with only guitars, it's better to be a little creative to fill in the blanks. I seem to be doing D D D DU UD. But I don't know how that's happening because I'm

Parokya ni Edgar - Harana

20160630: Learning to play this song was interesting because I was practicing a lot and yet I was unable to play it by myself without the original song playing in the background. Eventually, however, it all just clicked. I started playing at a continuous rhythm and I sang at the proper pace. There were still a couple of hiccups along the way, but I was amazed at how smooth I managed to both play and sing the song. There were also some realizations made when it came to simplifying the guitar part, because I couldn't handle the complicated strumming while also singing. Another part was knowing the chord progression and not forcing it to go over specific words. Said differently, I succeeded when playing and singing to a lyrics-only page (as opposed to a lyrics-and-chords page). Unfortunately, since it's not in English, it'll be a long time before I can memorize the lyrics on my own. In fact, I can hardly remember lyrics for songs which are in English (unless they're my
