Conference napalm::guitar

    Sorry Chris, I'd be glad to show ya how, but the last effort I took to
    "draw" something out (Badfinger's Baby Blue fiasco) was less than
    translate-able....I'm just a play-it-by-ear kinda guy.....
    
    Stevo

Long Cool Women ??

It's a blues/fifth thing.  The whole song is the tone though - gotta
do a single-coil thing there with lots of "pop".  Steve, didn't we platy that 
out of E ??

jc (Who liked that tune)

    Hey Steve,
    I think I forgot to thank you for the Badfinger thing a couple of years
    ago. Whaddya mean fiasco? I thought it was the balls. Except for one
    small thing, I thought you nailed it. Maybe it's because I'm used to
    reading tablature for pedal steel. I never did get a recording of the
    song, but whenever I'm at home and it comes on the radio, I play along
    and it sounds ok to me.

I have a tape of that song - I thought I made copies for everyone that was
involved in that deal, but I mighta missed one. If you want, I can drop you
a copy of it....

    Thank you!!  I don't know tab stuff, so I invented that cumbersome
    method of trying to describe all those little riffs....I love that tune,
    and if it hadn't been for the Blair unit, I never would have learned
    it....he was dying for me to teach it to him, so he locked me in his
    practice room until I had it nailed.  Grabbing all those chords and riffs
    by ear was one HECK of alot easier than trying to write it down for youse
    guys.  Glad you enjoyed it.....
    
    made my day Neal!

    Coop,
    
    I *think* he's lookin' for that song opening solo riff that kinda
    walked all around the 4th, 5th, and 6th strings with alot of open
    notes...I opened the tune with it, remember....I would NEVER hit
    perfectly!
    
    Steve 

My head is clogged.  I can't think of how it goes !

I hate when this happens !!

But I've got "RnR - Live at Shooters" at home.  :)

    	Play the low 3 notes of an Em - quickly drag the Em up 3 frets
    	to the 5th fret, quickly down to the 4th fret, down back to
    	Em at the 2nd fret, open it to Em7, down to G, G/F# bas, G
    	to A-D-G, G bass, F# bass, and start over.
    
    	If you're near Marlboro, I'd be glad to show you.
    
    	Btw, I have the words too if anyone wants 'em.  Talk about
    	tough to understand.

    Thanks for all of the prompt attention.  I wish I could get this sort
    of response when I enter one of URGENT, technical, work-related
    questions (ha).
    
    I appreciate the offer for the hands-on tutorial (in .8), however, I
    live (and work) in Harrisburg, Penna.
    
    Thanks again.
    
    

re: .8

Hey, if you'd be willing to post the words I'd love to see them!  I've been
hearing that song since it was a hit on the radio (is it really *that* long
ago?  Yikes!) and still can't figure out 90% of what's being said...

"Saturday night I was downtown, working for the FBI"...

Thanks in advance,

-- Sam

    Ummm, no posting words.  It's against policy...
    
    However - MAILing them wouldn't be a bad idea, but I didn't say that.
    :)
    
    jc (wearing his moderator cone)

    
    	like jc said... just send me mail.

Oops!  Sorry, didn't know I was violating policy...

P.S.  Thanks, Tom...

RE: Policy

It's kind of a grey-area thing...But I figure its better safe than sorry.
I mean you alway see "Reprinted without permission" in these conferences,
but with all the hub-bub lately...

Thanks,
jc

    I question whether or not anyone REALLY knows the words to that
    one....how could you ever prove you did......sheesh!

    	I only claim to have words, not THE words !!!
    
    	;^)
    

Funny...

We do a song called "Smells Like Teen Spirit" by Nirvana...

the lyrics (or our version) go:

"Mashed Potatoes, pass the gravy"

Nobody would ever know, so WHO CARES !?!?!?!?!

:)

    
    	My high school band did "Lookin out my back door" by
    	Creedence Clearwater.  One line is something like..
    
    	   "listenin' to Victrolo" or something 
    
    	I used to say "listenin' to Beckola"
    
    	Tom
    

>We do a song called "Smells Like Teen Spirit" by Nirvana...

    Gak, I'm *sure* it doesn't say that!  If you want lyrics for that one
    that are right (or at least close), check out last month's Guitar World
    (I think), which has a transcription of it with words.
    
    FWIW, I still can't picture you guys doing that song.  Seems to me that
    nobody in your band has a voice that's that raw...
    
    gh

Tom sings it.  He does okay.

*I* can't beleive that someone got PAID to transcribe that ridiculous
song !!!!  Man I worked MONTHS (sic) to learn that lead... :) 

Then we learned the other "top 10 tune" from that album and the damn lead is 
identical!!  At first I refused to play it, because its STOOPID, but when I 
saw the dance floor fill when Stomp played it, I changed my mind.  :)

FWIW - We know the real words, but why bother ??  We can be perverted and
no one knows the diff !!  :)

    Re a couple back
      the line of the credence song is "listenin to Buck Owens"
    
    P.K.

    
    	Yes, Buck Owens - I knew that!!  Shoot, I was 17 when I sang
    	it and I'm now mumble mumble...  I sat in front of the tube
    	yesterday and KNEW victrola wasn't right but could not
    	remember!!  
    
    	Thanks PK !!
    

    Tom,
    
    I recently saw a pretty good stab at the Hollies lyrics....can't
    remember how I got 'em  8^)...
    
    I'm still bettin' that not even the Hollies
    know the words to Long Cool Women.....
