  RE: More and More Fish

Durn, if you aren't quick! That was fast. And since you asked, the next time you sit down, see if you do "Kind Word". I've always liked that one and thought it would be a good song to sing.

Since this is a long weekend and I'm in the transcribin' groove you should have "Kind Word" by Tuesday. Now watch, I say this and my wife will go into labor...

"Now watch, I say this and my wife will go into labor..."

Yeah, I've blamed things on MY wife, too...

Congratulations, and good luck!

  Done

"Kind Word" is up and ready! I went a bit crazy and also transcribed two Choir songs and three other Faultline songs, though I haven't typed them up yet... probably later today.

Thanks for all our your "Kind Words" regarding my site. If anyone wants a ZIP file with all the HTM pages let me know- you can then print them without the annoying Tripod headers. Just drop me a note at uvulapie at yahoo . com

  RE: Done

Great job! How do you do this? Seriously, how do you sit down and map this out?

Are you sure about the D#dim on "Kind Word"? Somehow, it doesn't sound right. Or maybe I'm not playing it correctly, which could be VERY possible!

Ok, no resting on your laurels...how about "Wiliam" from the first album?

And did your wife have the baby? Are you a momma or a pappa?

I must say (Grimley) that transcribing has gotten easier and quicker with experience, though I still have no clue on figuring out riffs.

I start with a printout of the lyrics, a CD player and a cheesy cheap keyboard (though I'm fairly sure it would work the same with an expensive synthesizer). For the most part I follow the bass parts to get the root of the chord, although Tim makes this more difficult than necessary. If I'm having trouble figuring out the chord I'll try playing other notes while listening to the trouble maker and see what fits. Sometimes I can only pin down two notes and give it my best guess. I've also been known to list every other "normal" chord that will fit in the given key (e.g. C major includes C, Dm, Em, F, G, Am, and Bdim), which is almost always the first chord of the song. These days it takes about 15-20 minutes to figure out the chords to one of Terry's songs and about that long to format it for the site.

And I'm fairly sure about the D#dim. I have a suggested chord fingering after the lyrics. If something else sounds better let me know.

No baby yet, though we're trying!



Posted by UnderDawg on 06-02-2008 at21:30:

 

Upon many times playing the song, I'm sure that you were right. D#dim is correct, I believe. It's just that this was a new chord for me, and I probably wasn't playing it correctly or at least, sloppily. But now it sounds better and I'm sure it's the one. I even tried substituting D7, but it didn't sound right. So you get the gold star this time!!!!

Congrats on the new baby (when it gets here), I was asking if you were a momma or a pappa, since you haven't said if it was a boy or girl.

William is on the B+ site now... even way back them Terry was tossing in seventh chords, the little rascal!



Posted by UnderDawg on 06-12-2008 at22:59:

 

Man, I've been goin' to town with all these chords charts! Especially love "Moses in the Desert" and "the Afternoon". But I must have printed out 10 or 15 here lately. Let's see how long it takes me to learn 'em.

Just keep it up. Somebody out here appreciates it!



Posted by UnderDawg on 06-15-2008 at17:08:

 

Another request!!!! "Rocky Mountain Mines". Since you've got SO much free time...

good stuff! i have used the b+ site many times over the years.

  Baby

The baby (Tessa Olive) arrived on Father's Day and it's been diapers and crying and lack of sleep ever since. No time for Lost Dogs songs and I've only managed to grab the guitar for about ten minutes earlier in the week. A few more weeks and she'll surely calm down a bit and a few weeks after that I'll start her on guitar lessons.

I thought I was the only one that made that corny, stupid joke. All my guitar students laugh at it, even the hardcore/goth types.

It also must be God's favorite joke! Big Grin

  RE: Baby

Congratulations. Now the FUN really starts! It will peak when she hits about 13. Better get all the songs done by then!
