Matchbox 20 - 3 am

I didn't actually try to play the song, but I watched and played along with the video lesson.

Van Morrison - Brown Eyed Girl

20100827: So this is either the first or one of the first songs I've ever learned. But on the other hand, I always forget the chord progression near the end of the verses and typically forget some of the lyrics. So today, my goal is to at least get those two. Then third, less important for me, but important to the song, is the intro. I've learned the intro a couple times, but I never think to play it or memorize it. I might consider doing that. See what remains of the old Van Morrison - Brown Eyed Girl post. Now, I would know in full, lyrics and chords to three songs: As Lovers Go, I Will Follow You Into the Dark, Brown Eyed Girl. I know in chunks Better Together and Banana Pancakes. I looked at a Brown Eyed Girl Chords (ver 2) tab and here is what I can remember after practicing two or three times: [text removed] 20110320: Verse: G C G D Repeated C D G Em Chorus: C D G D7 Bridge: D7 D7 D7 D7 G C G D Twice Intro Verse1:Hey now where did...

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 [ 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; ] x3 Fm;Fm;Fm;Fm; Am;C;F;C,G; Am;C;...

Moldy Peaches - Anyone Else But You [Duet]

20100307: It's a simple song, just two chords. So the focus is on the lyrics. But the song is best with two people as its done by the band. This way, the song is a sort of conversation. And plus, from one verse to the other, the "But you" leads into slightly into the next verse. The tabber below starts the Cmaj7 at "But you" but I feel the Cmaj7 starts at "in anyone else." ::shrug:: http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/tabs/m/moldy_peaches/anyone_else_but_you_crd.htm 20110324: I concur with my above opinion about when to start the Cmaj7. Actually it's not a matter of when to start it, it simply starts there due to the timing of the song. As I sort of said above, the "But you" comes in near the end of the measure, perhaps on beat four. If this was done in a pair, the person singing "But you" can carry the note for a couple extra beats. Doing the piece solo, one option is just to play an extra G and Cmaj7 before starting the next ...
