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

20150819: I kept the standard tuning instead of tuning half a step down. Partially because I'm lazy, but also because I figured I often sing in the key of G anyways. Personally I went through the following steps: 1) Listen to the song 2-3 times and just ghost strum along. That way I can hear how the rhythm guitar strums. 2) As I continued, I learned that feeling/listening to the bass (if you have a decent subwoofer) is also helpful. 3) Just strum along to the song a couple of times. 4) Sing along to the song a couple of times. 5) Strum and sing along to the song many, many times (10-15). 6) Stop playing the song and try playing and singing it myself, in the original style of the song 2-3 times. 7) Still without the song, but now play and sing the song in my own style. Continually modifying what feels right. 8) After about 5-10 repetitions of covering the song, I try to play along with the song again. I found my current cover was too fast. 9) Go back and modify my cover....

So I really enjoy making my own songs, but Firefly 2015 is around the corner and I thought I would try to play some of my favorite songs. First on this list would be "Shut Up and Dance." While the electric guitar intro, break, and solo would probably have to be modified somehow (I only have an acoustic guitar with no cutaway), there are are two versions of the tab on Ultimate Guitar which show a repetition of four chords: G, C, Em, and D (Capo on 6). http://tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/w/walk_the_moon/shut_up_and_dance_crd.htm http://tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/w/walk_the_moon/shut_up_and_dance_ver2_crd.htm Between the two, I like the placement of letters in the second, but the simplicity of the first. And while I can sort of play with an intuitive strumming, I would like to figure out the timing and pattern of the chords a bit more methodically.

This video was helpful: Call Me Maybe by Carly Rae Jepsen - Guitar Lesson - YouTube According to the video, this simple pattern repeats throughout the entire song: [F 2 3 4C][GG2 3 4Am][FF2 3 4C][GG2 3 4 ] The video also instructed to place a capo on 8. Of course if you're singing solo, you can feel free to adjust the key to your singing voice.

Apparently I already made a post on this song. But this analysis seems cleaner. In any case, the old post might cast insight on how my approach to music has or hasn't changed. Check this link for the old post: Dispatch - Out Loud . 20130715: The chord progression in this song isn't too difficult. http://tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/d/dispatch/out_loud_ver3_crd.htm -|-A--F#m--D---E e|-5---2---5---7-----| B|-5---2---7---9-----| G|-6---2---7---9-----| D|-7---4---7---9-----| A|-7---4---5---7-----| E|-5---2---x---x-----| I = A F#m | A F#m | A F#m | A-D-E I' = A F#m | A F#m | A F#m | A A-D-E II = A F#m | A F#m | A F#m | III = D E A F#m III' = D E A ring III* = D E A mute Intro I Verse II I Pre-Chorus III III' Chorus III III* Repeat Intro I Verse II I Pre-Chorus III III' Chorus III III' [Play All Strings->] Repeat Intro I Verse II I Pre-Chorus III III' Chorus III III' Outro II II [Single Strum->]III' Conclusion:...
