LET IT FLOW 20110720 5 to 8 songs

20110720:
So it's been a while since I've done this. I've decided to call it "LET IT FLOW."

How I used to do it:
I'd load up Pandora, let a station play. As a song comes by, I'd look up the guitar tab. Sometime there wouldn't be enough time to find a tab and understand it, but I'd have a print out, so the next time the song comes up, I'd have the tab ready.

How I'll do it today:
I've since looked for patterns to learn songs, and so it takes a little bit more processing. I'll load up an artist on Last.fm, let the radio start. Pause it on a song that I think I can learn. Look up the tab. Process it a bit. Play the song. If I want, I can look up the song on YouTube and practice it one or two more times if it's worth trying.

Today's Radio:
Last.fm. Artist: Goo Goo Dolls.

This must be C# minor for the key of it'd have C# D# E F# G# A B

I do an intuitive strum to the song and my singing for "I".

Lifehouse - Hanging by a Moment
[I played this little riff, but it doesn't sound right to me, oh... well all the strings are dropped a half step. So my guitar would sound off from the song]

Vertical Horizon - Everything You Want
[This intro was much easier than it looked to me at first sight. I'll have to try playing it on my electric sometime]
Intro : Electric w/ Light Distortion & muting after each note

this plays throughout the song verses & outro also

Third Eye Blind - Semi-Charmed Life
Strumming power chords help. The chord pattern for me changes with each chord. Probably sounds much better on an electric guitar.

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.

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. http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/tabs/c/calling/wherever_you_will_go_acoustic_crd.htm
