Song tabs and chords?

I've been trying to gather as many of the chord progressions or even tablature of Daniel Amos, Lost Dogs or Terry Taylor songs as I can find. Unfortunately, that's not very many. Do any of you play these songs and know this stuff? Can it be listed here, or is there somewhere else where it resides??

Thanks in advance....

THANKS! What a treasure trove of material! I didn't know that any of this was out there. If you come across any more, I'd appreciate hearing about it...

Though I barely figure out new songs it's nice to know that my work from years past is helpful. My goal is to have all of Terry's songs out there but then again my other goal is to get large pectoral muscles.

I dont use tabs or chord shets..
fer one - I am terrible at reading music- even chording.(with bass notes etc)
.
I also usually dont sing in the designated Key- so Im transposing for comfort.

I improvise a lot of chord and note structures..and a few times have got "caught" as people say..'hmm- you rather ad libded that chorus- Ive heard the original " ...oops!
."
Where it does occasionally work - I did a rendition of "Be Still My Soul" at a funeral and got some pretty lengthy (and flattering) comments on how this person had never heard such a unique rendition.

I came to find out she was the Administror of our Universitys Music Department..so apparently I can I snowball the best of them..

RE: Belated

Hey, I found an error (oh, the horror...) in "One More Time". It's my sworn duty to pass the correction along. (My doodie stinks).

In the verse "I thought that I saw...", the chord is marked as D, but it should be an F#m. Same in second stanza with "I thought that I heard...".

Great site, and I eagerly await new song structures.

I'm waiting....

belated?? I should say!

I sang that song 58 times the wrong way!!!!

hey- whats an f#m anyway ?
Some kind of a code or something?? Big Grin

Posted by UnderDawg on 05-15-2008 at15:49:

Well, you sang it wrong but your heart was in the right place (your chest, right?)

As I played it, something wasn't right, so I fiddled with the chords until I came up with F SHARP MINOR, not F#m as in some kind of shorthand for a bad word.

D and F#m

Thanks for the update... the site now reflects the corrected chords. I did that song a loooong time ago, back before I was even playing guitar and wasn't familiar with which chords are commonly used of that instrument. I should probably revisit all those old transcriptions but there's never enough time.

Besides the site name is B+ chords so if at least 92% of the chords are correct I'm in the clear!

Again, thanks for letting me know my work has been of benefit. Ya sit and transcribe and type up and post the stuff in solitude and never know if the work was for anyones benefit but my own.

That said, I'm still chugging through Terrys work so let me know if there's a song of his that you'd like transcribed and I'll do my best.

Jasooooooooooon

RE: D and F#m

Yes, I've enjoyed this site greatly. I wish I had known about it sooner. Actually, I was just on it looking for a particular song....I heard "Salvation Wings" on the ol' Ipod today, so I went to the site looking to see if it was there. Nope, not even listed. I don't have the talent to transcribe these things, but if you do....

Thank you in advance. I'm especially enjoying "One More Time", "Beautiful One", and "Walking on the Water"

And here, all this time, I thought it was a site promoting songs which prominently feature B-Augmented chords.

Um, Salvation Wings? Never heard of it. What album is it from?

Posted by uvulapie on 05-21-2008 at07:18:

DUH! I'm not one much for live albums. I'll dig that out and see ifn' I can figure it out.

Last night I added "If You Want To", "Mr. Flutter", and "Out In The Cold". Enjoy!

And the futon sale is over.

b+ chords

That's where I learned the bass line for DFBB! Cool

More and More Fish

I just posted chords to Salvation Wings. I figured it would be fairly basic cowboy chords but hadn't figured on those pesky sevenths! DURNED YOU TERRY AND YOUR LOVE OF SEVENTH CHORDS!
