Nightspore68 Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 I was working on the Beatles "I Want to Tell You", but the only guitar is the intro. So that was easy! Now I'm going to return to my never-quite learned "Mood For a Day" by Yes and possibly "Old Man" by Neil Young. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retrorod Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 great stuff , but even if you learn it how you gonna persuade the lion from OZ to come and play drums on it ? Too funny! Unfortunately, NO.... I have not yet rounded up the "cowardly lion" for drums..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larryp58 Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 I've been (slowly) working up an instrumental harp guitar arrangement of "Ashokan farewell." At this point, I can play the melody on the guitar neck while playing a bass line on the harp strings (tuned in D, high to low: D, C+, B, A, G, E). So, now I need to work up variations and harmonies (while keeping that bass line going). Another great tune, JT! Quite an undertaking the way you're approaching the song. I know you'll do a fine job!

sternfan Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 He's always been one of my favorites and while I love songs like 'Pretender,' 'The Road,' 'Rosie,' and 'Love Needs a Heart,' the song 'Something Fine' represents the pinnacle of his musical power to me. Ever since getting his signature Gibson I've been working on it and hope to post my own video of it soon. In the meantime, enjoy the incomparable Jackson Browne: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yufoq3T-z_w Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buc McMaster Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Wow. Jackson Browne. Something Fine Powerful stuff. It's right that this is perhaps his finest hour, but he sure has a lot of other powerful stuff. Brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jt Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Another great tune, JT! Quite an undertaking the way you're approaching the song. I know you'll do a fine job! Larry, thanks! It probably wouldn't be a difficult task for most players, but I'm painfully slow at this stuff. I work out the melody, then figure out a pleasing bass line, then slowly put the two together. Then I try to find harmony lines to make it interesting. The whole process takes me forever. I've go t a gig In a couple of weeks and had hoped to play this, but it won't be ready for prime time yet.

brannon67 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 I used to play the Americana/roots/blues/rock stuff alot. Tom Petty, Neil Young, Dylan, Springsteen, anything with guitar and harmonica sometimes. Well, all of that is crap compared to my new love of songs and music. Now I play Britney Spears covers, Anything by WHAM. Poison, Any thing by Air Supply, you name it. Thats real music to my ears now. No seriously, Im working on some original bluesy/folk type stuff now, and some Petty stuff, and some Young stuff as well. JB's Running On Empty(acoustic).

jt Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Great video. Doesn't get any more intimate than that with an artist. Used to know that song years ago. Have an old JB songbook I bought back in the 70's that has that song in it. Time to dust that baby off. Thanks for posting. My pal Jason Verlinde took that video to post on the Fretboard Journal site as a companion to my profile of Jackson. We all know what a great songwriter Jackson is, but after going on the road with him, I came away equally impressed with his guitar playing. I played though his guitar collection, too, and that old Smeck #1 is sensational. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
