Pseudonym Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Give this a try: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFmdvHQjiDc]YouTube- How to play "High Horses" by The Swell Season[/ame] That guy seems to do a lot of Swell Season how-to's. Comments seem to agree with him. It seems right so far to me, but I'll try it out and look more in-depth and see if I find any glaring errors.

Pseudonym Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Don't expect this one to sound much like the recording on a single guitar. There is a lot of movement in the song's bassline and some extra tones in the lead electric guitar, plus harmonizing vocals. One guitar will make this song sound very bare, even if played correctly.

djibou Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Yeah I noticed the bass, I actually expected a bass tab online, I gladly would have tried it but I was dissapointed. I can't play guitar right now, as I'll wake everyone up, but I'll give it a try tomorrow too, thank you very much. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djibou Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 I tried the guy's tutorial and I think it sounds pretty good, almost perfect. The song is a lot easier to play than I thought. I still have to practice the outrow though. He should have put his chords online on ultimate-guitar.com or something like that :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPRani Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 I've been learning some thing from this dude as well, most of his tabs seems to be right! If you want more, you can ask any of us, 'cause I think alot of those who hang here play guitar! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djibou Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Awesome prestation. I love how we can hear the bass kick in during the violin solo. My question is, is the violonist part of The Frames? Or was he just a guest? I miss Fabchannel :disappointed: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pseudonym Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 My question is, is the violonist part of The Frames? Yeah that's Colm! He and Glen are the only members that have been around since the beginning of the band in 1990. Everyone else has been interchanged. Yeah, Fabchannel FTW RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djibou Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Oh really? I had no idea, I just started listening to Glen's music :P I sitll haven't found any other website like this one :disappointed: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pseudonym Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Yeah. Some people think that the bassist, Joe Doyle, has been there since the beginning, but really he joined up in about 1993. The bassist before him was John Carney, who left the band to focus on film directing, and ended up making Once, the film that got his former band famous!
