Sancho Panza Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 Hello! I'm going to be honest with you guys (and girls) i'm pretty "new" to guitar, i've been playing on a daily basis for about two months now, so i can play some basic chords, but now theory etc. But i think that it is time for me now to learn a whole song, so i chose an classic garage rock song, mostly since it's three chords, (an E-shaped barre chord i think), but i'm not a 100% sure that's why i'm asking you guys for help. None of my friends really play guitar and i don't have the ear to tab it out myself, mostly the solo, which i want to also would like to learn. The Caretakers of Deception - Cuttin' Grass So please, is it anyone who can help me with this? Would be much apprieciated. Thanks in advance for any answer, Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surfpup Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 .... mostly since it's three chords, (an E-shaped barre chord i think), but i'm not a 100% sure Yep, it's three chords - oddly in the key of Bb -- or more likely they tune down half a step and play it in B Anyway, to play along with they YouTube in standard tuning, play Bb, Db, and Eb barre chords over and over again. Have fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lead singer sounds like ( I know it's NOT ), Eric Burden a little.. It's really catchy, though i can't put my finger exactly what it is that makes it catchy, maybe it is the singer. He has such a "depth" in his voice. Pity that they didn't release anything but this 7", which by the way went for $1525. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Versatile Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 Many guitarists (right up to pros), particularly when singing, use a 'capo' to make awkward chords easy' For example with a capo at the first fret these chords would become A, C and D.

TommyK Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 Howdy Mike N. I love your avatar. What episode is that with Yosemite Sam? You can also capo up 1 and play it in A. A,D and E chords as if the capo were the nut. Welcome to the world of guitar. Developing and ear for mimicking a song is part of the deal. The best way to develop it is to do it. re: "to play along with they YouTube in standard tuning, play Bb, Db, and Eb barre chords over and over again. " Probably should us Bb, Eb and F chords. (A, D and E chords up a half step). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha, feels like i started playing music too late and know i will never learn to develop my ears. I have like three songs that i really want to learn, those are the reasons i actually bought a guitar, so that will be good inspiration. I just hope that i will come to me soon ..
