mom_surfing Joined: Feb 27, 2006 Posts: 5307 the outer banks of north carolina	Posted on Sep 18 2011 04:54 PM 'checkpoint echo' by the penetrators. no problem with the lead but that opening chord has got me. it sounds like a B but i can't find any B chord that sounds right. anyone else know? am i way off? — www.surfintheeye.com Top
Richard Joined: Mar 02, 2006 Posts: 1683 Georgia	Posted on Sep 18 2011 06:50 PM Carol, I wanna say it should be B minor, but it doesn't sound quite right when I play along with the song. I am working on "Isn't Love Grand" by Los Straitjackets. I'm close but not all the way there. The part I'm hung up on starts around 1:15. I always falter when the higher notes get played faster and closer together...it just turns into a jumble in my head. — The Mystery Men? El Capitan and The Reluctant Sadists SSS Agent #31 Top

Richard Joined: Mar 02, 2006 Posts: 1683 Georgia	Posted on Sep 18 2011 07:29 PM It's on "Supersonic Guitars in 3-D." I finally decided to cheat and watch some videos of Eddie playing it, but he plays it differently than I do. I'm fairly certain I'm right because the chords I'm playing under everything are what Danny is playing in the video, but I can't figure out exactly what Eddie's doing. If I could avoid the too-many-notes-at-once mind scramble (this is what everybody likes those Tascam things for, I guess) I could nail this song down quick. It's a very catchy tune. Are you playing the first couple notes of Checkpoint Echo on the open A string, hammering down on the B? That's the way I play it, though I haven't got the whole thing figured out. Maybe I can start my own band playing only the parts of songs I know. — The Mystery Men? El Capitan and The Reluctant Sadists SSS Agent #31 Top
Staredge Joined: Sep 27, 2008 Posts: 1149 Damascus, Maryland	Posted on Sep 18 2011 09:20 PM Richard.....That was one of the first songs I ever started trying to learn. I absolutely love it. Try Best Practice. Free program that slows everything down without changing the pitch. And it's free!!!! Oh....I got bass in that band. I know partial bass riffs to a number of good songs! I got it....."Richard and the Ring-Tones" Has a certain....ring to it, dontcha think????? — Will "You're done, once you're a surfer you're done. You're in. It's like the mob or something.

What a coincidence Carol, I was about to learn that myself! (I have that Strymon El Cap echo that should sound pretty good for this.) I'll definitely let you know if I have any break-through's whenever I get started. — Mike http://www.youtube.com/morphballio Top

In fact, this makes it a little confusing because the rythm guitar actually plays a Bm chord, while the bass gtr is playing 8th notes on the fifth:F# (4th string, 4th fret) — www.surfintheeye.com Top

Edit: the bass is playing both the root and the fifth like in the verse. The rythm guitar plays a straight Bm chord second fret. 99 % sure about that. agreed. i was playing the Bm on the 7th fret and it didn't sound right. — www.surfintheeye.com Top
