Re: [SurfGuitar101] Ace of Spades tab (lame attempt)

Patrick Shiflett (Peristalsis_98) - 29 Sep 2004 19:17:51

Hey Richard,
Thanks a ton. I get lost with chords like crazy.
Maybe it is a genetic audio defect, but I cannot hear
and translate them at all. You've given me a great
place to start.
On the upside of all this, sure I'll never play in
front of an audience larger than my three year old and
two month old, but at least they enjoy it. Now if I
could get the picks out of the three year old's
mouth... In the end it is all right being inadequate.
Patrick.
