Hi guys,
Thanks for this great suggestion in a previous post.
However, for the life of me, I can't even get close to the slide parts. Maybe it's the tone that's throwing me off or I'm just an idiot, but either way I can't seem to get this one at all.
Would you be willing to share tips or I'm most willing to buy the tab or std notation from you. It's such a great tune (to me anyway) I hate to walk away frustrated.
Thanks
JB |

| Hey Judson...First off, I play that song with open E tuning, with the song in G...the other guitar player hold the chords down. This allows me to weave in & out during the song. I do not try to play this note for note, I stick to the G-F#-E....B-A-G...intro, then play what I want to. Even on guitar do I try to play note for note...it can make you sound stiff. |

Thanks Terry,
I'm doing the same as you describe, perhaps with less successful results.
It's frustrating for me when certain licks sound so accessible and then bam, can't fimd 'em anywhere on the fretboard.
It feels like watching a young child with one of those Playskool stools - round peg into round hole...yet they keep pluggin' away at the round hole with the square peg. |
