larryplatz Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Another great rendition from you BBG. You really have a nice sounding voice and guitar sound. Interestingly enough (since I've always been a huge JB fan right from the beginning-hell, I even own a Jackson Browne Model 1), I never really got into the original version of this song much. Then the first time I heard it on the "Solo Acoustic" cd it instantly became a favorite. I've been trying to work out my own arrangement ever since, based more on the version that's on the acoustic cd. I have always performed "These Days" and did pretty much the original JB arrangement. Lately I've been experimenting with capoing at the 5th fret and playing in G, rather than playing it in C in the open position. And I'm really appreciating the song more. Your arrangement of "Barricades" I find very inspiring. You do it in your own style and I love it Please don't ever stop sharing your great performances with the rest of us.

blindboygrunt Posted February 5, 2013 Author Share Posted February 5, 2013 cheers guys . larry - i'm same opinion , became a fan after i heard the solo acoustic album. even tuned down a half step like he does it was too much of a stretch to start in Em , so what you are hearing ( i think ) is capoed at the third and start in Am with the pinkie stretched to the 4th fret on the G string , everything else is just plain old C G F Am , and a Bflat in the bridge ... beautiful song , the little refrain isnt quite as effective , but u have to play the hand yer dealt . thanks for listenin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EuroAussie Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Great stuff BBG. A prime example why a J-45 is the songwriters best friend ! What strings are you using on the slopey these days ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ParlourMan Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Dunno the original BBG but always enjoy your clips, matey. Very comfortable performance for you and the guitar sounded great (recently re-strung? Sounds lively and zippy) Two thumbs up and not in a dirty way!

kebob Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 One of my all-time favorite tunes. Great job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flatbaroque Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Great job mate.Perfect sound on the geetar and your voice really suits that song.I'll definitely investigate those solo JB's. I only have one old scratched vinyl of his. My J-45's due for a string change.My brother bought me some sets of Martin 80/20's for Xmas. I'd told him get PB's not 80/20's...haha, guess he heard in reverse.But I'll put em on a post a clip soon...hope they aren't too bright.be interesting to see the difference from my usual D'addario EJ 16'S.

blindboygrunt Posted February 6, 2013 Author Share Posted February 6, 2013 cheers kebob ! thanks FB , these lifespans are the first martin strings i've ever liked ... well , i 'like' the regular martins ok but they last about an hour for me before they go dead .... i got the lifespans after some bugger on here praised them.
