The Calling - Wherever You Will Go [C2]

20100113:
C G Am7 F C.

20100114:
The intro is more easily done on an acoustic guitar where the neck is narrower which allows for use of thumb on the [1] and [3] on the sixth string during the F chord. Or, one could ignore the [0] on the third string and then barre an F chord and use the middle finger which would normally be on the fourth string and hover over the [3] on the sixth string.

20100115:
Got a real capo yesterday, tried it a bid. So now I have three different capos. This one isn't bad, but just barely fits the classical guitar. I'll have to bring it to MD and see how it compares to my other two kinds. The F to C intro is hard, again due to the width of the neck of a classical, but I'm able to play and sing looking at the lyrics. I just have to try and remember the bridge. All the C, C', C'' business is mostly just variation that may or may not be discernible.

The progression from the C to the F when playing the Intro/Verse has always gotten me. Not to mention the fact that plenty of tabs exist with different versions of how the F is done. Most agree on C G Am7. In any case, here I am hacking at it today. The problem, however, is either I need to practice to play the progression until I don't need to think about it, so that I can sing the lines, or skip out on playing the melody and just sing.

In any case, here is the tab I found that sounds best and fairly easy to play. The tabber also makes remarks to suggest this is how The Calling actually plays it. I added lyrics to the tab.

Though, other tabs have C; G; Am7; F, C; and that sounds pretty good. So either mix it in or use it completely when chords are played.

20100916:
I start to memorize the order of when the chords are played and when the melody is played:
The intro and then the verse, with the exception of the F chord is with melody. Then chorus. Then verse plays with the melody until "If a great wave shall fall..." Then I got the bridge down: Am F G Em, Am F G Em. But the lyrics pairs the chords up into [F G], [Em Am], and [F G], leaving the first and last chords by themselves, and the Em playing the role of the F at the end of the verse, i.e., strummed to build tension.

I wrote this fragment without knowing I had a new post for this song. After I wrote the below, I combined the two posts.

The above tab (2010015) is complicated and I had learned finger-picking differently. Though I like the [1] to [3]

E|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-1-------1---3---|

The following is a simplification. Removes variations of chords. Ignores strumming versus picking. Ignores Am versus Am7. Though usually I think the Am7 is for finger-picking and the Am is for strumming.

As you can see, under the simplification, the song is very simple.

I=C G Am7 F,C
II=Am F G Em

Intro: I
Verse1: I I I I
Chorus: I I
Verse2: I I I I
Chorus: I I
Bridge: II II
Verse3: I I
Chorus: I I
Chorus: I I
Outro: I I

It seems I already settled on my preference to the intro prior to today (20110320). In any case, I moved the tab with lyrics to the bottom here:

Bruno Mars - The Lazy Song

Image
http://tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/b/bruno_mars/the_lazy_song_crd_992284id_01102010date.htm With this tab, strum up twice on each chords. Except perhaps the occasional need to strum four times. Strumming down works. Or sometimes strumming to imitate the whistling works. I didn't want to go through and memorize it at the moment because I didn't want to spend to much time feeling it out. But the chorus is B F# E repeated three times and then B D#m E. The song appears to be in the key of B major. B C# D# E F# G# A#. The tab writes Ebm instead of D#m.

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
