flatbaroque Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Found an online lesson showing the actual chord voicings used by Bill Withers.They sound good I think so I had a go using them. some are 5x55xx,3x34xx,x70780,x50560.... I also used the normal open position chords am,em7 etc. Sorry about the hair-do.Alfalfa lives! edit :whoops...didn't use my snark so probably a smidgin below concert pitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MorrisrownSal Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Like it! Sweet FB. I tried this once and with me it didn't work. For one, I couldn't get the whole "I know" transition down. Second my voice was wrong. Yours works better. Keep em coming; haven't seen you for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's good when you find voicing so like that, isn't it? If you did it yourself, you would think it must be wrong, but someone puts it up on the tube and it's great? You look hot and sweaty up there in SmartyTown! BluesKing777. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EuroAussie Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 Nice one FB, interesting to see the 'real' chords, gives the track a nice touch. But you always have been a hound for odd chord shapings around the neck. Thanks for sharing mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BluesKing777 Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 BK and EA! Greetings to the Aussie diaspora in chilly Melbourne and balmy Prague.I do like a chord up the neck with some open strings. Hi FB. Here is a fabulous one with some open strings - heavy rockers Lita Ford and Ozzi O - but it sounds great on acoustic and is the classic 'sounds incredibly hard while very, very easy' fingerstyle!!!! give it a shot: http://tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/l/lita_ford/close_my_eyes_forever_tab.htm BluesKing777.
