BeachBumScott Joined: Aug 31, 2009 Posts: 352 The Ranch, CO	Posted on Oct 12 2011 10:42 AM Yellow Jacket and a non surf song for a class I am taking Brown Eyed Girl. The group I am taking the class with is finding great amusement in the fact that I am struggling with the non open "cowboy" chords! But the payback is they are struggling with learning to play sliding double stops. — "Maybe there aren't any surf bands; there's only surf music?" Tuck Top
MissingLink Joined: Jul 23, 2008 Posts: 488 Edge of the East China Sea	Posted on Oct 13 2011 08:58 PM Ali Baba! Wanted to play this for ages, and I'm finally getting to it. I've been using some tab (that's been hanging around forever on a bit of paper), Ralf's inspiring YouTube vid, and -- when all else fails -- actually listening to the song. It's hard to beat the old 'First Wave' tunes for sheer playing fun. Top

Ranbat Joined: Oct 14, 2011 Posts: 31 Wichita, Ks USA	Posted on Oct 16 2011 09:01 PM Lullaby of the Leaves. Trying to get it up to speed w/o 'tripping', which is what I call missing a note or putting an extra in. Top
Richard Joined: Mar 02, 2006 Posts: 1683 Georgia	Posted on Oct 16 2011 09:14 PM I've always worked on that chord picking progression on Lullaby of the Leaves. It's a great exercise. Sometimes I get it. — The Mystery Men? El Capitan and The Reluctant Sadists SSS Agent #31 Top
Ranbat Joined: Oct 14, 2011 Posts: 31 Wichita, Ks USA	Posted on Oct 16 2011 10:24 PM Yeah, that descending arpeggio run is tripping me up when I try to play it at full tempo. Superfun song to play though. Top

But I found the album on CD Baby...so I will get a full-fidelity CD version as soon as payday rolls around again. Last edited: Oct 19, 2011 21:44:09 Top
