Awesome playing as usual Bro....!!!!
Is this done in alternate tuning.? |
Wah-wah Pedal?...ehh.........that's an easy one....um...I break out the old wooden rockin' chair
It's in Drop D tuning...only the Bass E-string. the remaining are standard.
You can hear me stumble alot at the top of each verse phrase.I'd have to say it's one of ..if not the most strangest fingerings I've attempted yet.Your pinky lands on the 5th fret of the bass E string and stays"planted" there...while your index and mid finger "walk" around the notes of an "open-D" chord. Only way I could get it to sound close to what I was hearing on the recording. This style playin is new to me but growing to appreciate it.Once ya do the little "walk" around those D-chord notes..then ya finally "land" on the open D chord, and your "planted" pinky can leave the 5th fret.
Now that your on that open D chord, you alternate the bass-line with thumb and index between the Bass dropped D and the "open" D string..it adds flavor to the melody and richens it to my ear anyway.While those 2 guys are alternating the base line, Hah-Hah...now you CAN'T use your index finger to "work" the treble strings
You're forced to use your middle and ring finger
That's exactly the "Habit" I'm trying to break....just using the thumb and index!...won't work
I've read in past post that you yourself share my same bad habit on trying to learn finger-style playing "thumb/pinky" thangy.
Honestly, I just picked this out yesterday not long before I posted it. I was listening to the backing track and was gonna record over it and said "what do I do with this? the whole backing track is guitar
be nice for a madolin player maybe.
Anyway, it's really not difficult, especially if your accustomed to finger-style playing... work with it ....the song I always wanted to learn, turned out to be the exercise I needed
