Death Cab for Cutie - I Will Follow You Into the Dark [C5]

2010010X:
Tried to play without a capo, but when running into the G chord, I ran into an obstacle. One or two of the crew just suggested I make one.

20100109:
Today, I entertained the idea of making a capo. I took a pencil, grabbed some rubber bands, and folded up a bounty napkin to bad the back. I took up some of the rubber band space by twisting it back and forth. After it was fairly tight, I added in another pencil. I tuned it so it was in tune at the fret. It doesn't beat a real capo due to lack of curvature, but it works decently. And I can try and fine tune it, that's why it has two pencils, but I decided that the tightness from two pencils is enough.

20100109:
Really it is 3 o'clock in the morning of 20100110, but anyways... I think this song isn't too bad. Spitting out the chords: Am C F C,G Am C G G Am C E Am,G F Fm C C<- C C Am Am F F C<- G<- C C Am Am F F C G repeat times 3. Fm Fm Fm Fm. Go to the chorus. The one's with an arrow "<-" are the ones I had a tough time recalling. There are two ways you can choose to play the song, as the tab tabs the song, or just use the chords and play the following rhythm patters as appropriate: Rhythm pattern one: Stroke the bass note with your thumb. Index finger strokes down and up Stroke the string beneath the bass note string with your thumb, i.e., if you stroke string x, then stroke string x-1. Index finger strokes down and up. The count might be... 1 &a a&a or 1 &a 2 &a. Otherwise, just listen to the song. Rhythm pattern two: Stroke the bass note with your thumb. Index finger strokes down. Change chord. Stroke the bass note with your thumb. Index finger strokes down. Or(!) you can choose instead of stroking just down on each chord, down and up. So either 1 & 2 & or 1 &a 2 &a. Chords taken from tab below: [UPDATE 20100823: A word on notation. Chords separated by commas are played using Rhythm pattern two. That is, semi-colons separate a measure. Then near the end, F., Fm., and C.;.. represent just stroking once and holding.]

With lyrics (came from this tab, which I double-checked the chords with): [UPDATE 20100823: So as above, the part between the brackets is played three times, with the lyrics changing indicated by 1, 2, and 3. Then you get the bridge, which is Fm played for four measures. And then the intro (which is the first half of the chunk between brackets) is played for the last time, ending in single held chords. So basically, if you learn the stuff between brackets, you got the song]

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.

Stór is the Irish word for my love/my darling so by adding the een onto the end it becomes my little darling.

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
