Kirk -

Thanks for the lesson. I am looking forward to part 2 & 3.

Your are right when you say " the fingers will obey " .... eventually.

3 months ago I was in serious doubt, but now I realize that the first time I look at a new tab I will always feel this way, but by the 3rd or 4th look, their little memories kick in and they start to fall in line and things start to work themselves out.

It has been great fun. Thanks!

Thanks for the feedback, mjwjr ... Isn't it a nice feeling to get those fingers obeying and remembering? It happens forever, so long as you always make sure you're looking for something new to play, whether lessons like these or plain old random exploration of the fretboard. Once you get an idea of how music works and how it lays itself out on the fretboard, these explorations get more and more interesting and fun, of course, because you can keep track of it all and really hear the context of it all. That's why I always include the Roman Numeral chord progressions, in the hope that you'll let those related chords sink in ... as numbers, as sounds, as roles in the scheme of things. It's really just seven numbers/sounds/roles to remember, since they apply to all 12 keys, so it's well worth the effort to learn.

The Roman numerals are also the language of professional musicans, studio musicians, producers, singers etc., so there's another good reason to learn it ... simple communication.

Yeah I liked the Tears in heaven lessons too. Even memorised them in record time. Thanks very much for making 'em!
But I do have some trouble putting al parts together and make 1 song out of the three parts. Perhaps some1 can tell me how to put em togheter and get the correct sequence?

""That's why I always include the Roman Numeral chord progressions, in the hope that you'll let those related chords sink in ... "" and very nicely presented they are, too.
Hi Kirk,
I wonder if you could tell me what program you use to produce the TABS, and more importantly, is it availabe anywhere as freeware?

[Kirk Lorange]

Hi Pete. I use GuitarPro which is not free ... it cost $50 when i bought it. Money well spent, though.

Hi Kirk

Having a great time with this song .... and can actually make it sound like sumthang I do have 2 qestions for part 3 if you have some time...
1) Bar 5 .. there is a small 2 just before the open G.. wondering what that implies?
2) Bar 19 I am by the /5
/5
I am pretty sure its a slide to the fifth fret and it sounds like it is but am not sure where to slide from.....????


Thanks again for this great lesson and the others I have tried..
Cheers Mate

Hi LeeB.

Bar 5: pull off from the second fret to the open string. You can hear it and see it in the movie, and hear it in the tab.

Bar 15: Yes, slide up to the 5th fret, the movie shows that it's from the 3rd fret.

Are you not able to see the movies?

[LeeB]

Thanks Kirk

The only place I have a computer is at work and personal use is frowned upon.. especially stuff like downloading a video clip. I did watch it once at a Buddy's house but am not able to watch it over and over again as I would like.... I was sliding from the 2nd fret and knew that part did not sound right.... 3rd fret it is...
by the way... do the numbers such as in bar 5, always mean a pull off?

[Kirk Lorange]

I figured you couldn't watch the movie ...

Yes, those little numbers indicate the fret number to pull off from, the big number is the final note.
