Buc McMaster Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 The sweeter tone of this new 12 is influencing my tune choice already, and to that end I tripped over this one last night.........still tripping over it this morning! :blink: There are certainly some hiccups here.......the vocal transition to the C# chord is quite tricky and that high note in the chorus is a nutcracker.......but with just a few run throughs under my belt I think this one can become serviceable for the set list with a bit more time spent. Not sure of the arrangement yet either but it'll get there.......... J-45 12 fret; Martin Retro .012s, half step down, capo 4 (key of F); Blue Chip TPR50 pick; iPad to iMovie http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YDSlemW5mQg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnneS Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 That's real nice, Buc. You made an "I've heard this a million times" song interesting again; no small feat. I do like your approach to material you choose--always worth a listen or two. Nice git you got there.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blindboygrunt Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Great job Have tried that one , busted a nut May give it another go .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidblast Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 --LIKE-- EJ has some excellent songs that transfer very nicely to guitar.. (Perhaps the Bernie side of the song writing crew lends to that) that one right there is perfect. I wouldn't change much... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philfish Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 That's a clear sounding guitar. I've always liked EJs music, even his disco stuff. Nice cover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buc McMaster Posted July 26, 2017 Author Share Posted July 26, 2017 Have tried that one , busted a nut Indeed. That "hold me closer tiny dancer" line is a throat ripper. It's one thing to hit it but another to hit it properly without over-singing it just because it's high. Fine line. It's already gotten better since this video take..........when I get hold of a tune that seems like it might work for me, I wear it out for days on end. Let's see.....it's Wednesday, yes?........might make the Sunday open mic with this one. Did One Toke Over the Line last Sunday for the first time and the whole place started singing along. Nice to know they're paying at least some attention. Thanks for listening and the kind comments! Y'all are great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blindboygrunt Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 I'll learn from yours again Think I tried it in C The little bridge before the chorus is what threw me off because it's the one part of the song that wasn't familiar. Everyone know the chorus don't they The bridge is actually the hardest part I found Repetition eh Bugger you for not filming the important hand Sal has no head. You have no fretting hand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theflyingturtle Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Buc, that was really, really good. I don't know if it is the guitar, the song, your mood, or practice but that is the best song I've ever heard you sing. Really smooth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
