Swallowed Seaman

Adventure of a Lifetime live First live performance! In a rather small venue...yay! :cool:

Truly though, Cartoon Heart would have been a totally acceptable name, which I'm pretty sure all the old scribblings on their whiteboard were referring to. But I've fallen in love with Charlie Brown either way, so...yay! :D

Fuck this is hard. But I'll try. 1) Strawberry Swing 2) Glass of Water 3) Lovers in Japan 4) Now My Feet Won't Touch The Ground 5) Life In Technicolor

I learned Warning Sign on guitar :)

God, I listen to this album straight through all the time. The first time I listened I was in the car for a long road trip. I had tears in my eyes at the end. I wasn't a Coldplay fan until I listened through Viva La Vida, and I believe that it has forever changed the way that I look at music. I owe my soul to Coldplay. :shocked2:

If you have a music store nearby that sells books like "Blues guitar classics," or whatever genre you prefer, those usually have great exemplary tabs that demonstrate individual forms and styles and such. Little technical snippets here and there too. Basically by reading and playing tabs that you can play, you'll get closer and closer to being able to do so yourself.

This actually works better in the opposite order...that is, tuning down from standard 1/2 step and then into DADGBd. The easiest way to do this would be to use an electronic guitar tuner that has standard chromatic tuning and has a button that can make it so it tunes to any # of flats or sharps. In this case, you would hit that button (flat) once, and then tune each string to that new tuning (from fat to skinny string, Eb Ab Db Gb Bb eb). THEN you loosen the low E string (with tuner still set to one flat) until it says you're playing a Db with that string. It will now be one octave lower than the higher Db string. In other words, they should ring out together and sound good when played simultaneously. Then you do the same for the high E string, bringing it down to what the tuner says is a Db as well. Then you put the Capo on the second fret and you're good to go! Doing this the other way, without a tuner, requires some tricks and know-how, which I don't feel I can explain accurately just through text.

(If they already have a thread, feel free to delete this) So how 'bout those guys, eh? I have known OF them for a long time, but never really heard anything by them...until last night when I listened to their Hazards of Love album. Rock opera? Eff yeah! I love albums with a story. I also really like The Crane Wife stuff. Basically, they don't disappoint me. Post away!

Note: I only tabbed the individual parts, without much rhythmic clues or anything. I figure peole here know the song well enough to put the pieces together when they play it :thinking:

It took a little work, but I was able to figure it out (I think) just by watching his hands and playing by ear. I could make a tab, but it may take a bit of time. I'm pretty certain that what I'm playing is close to or exactly what he's doing, if I do say so myself :wink3:

I think they should play Swallowed In The Sea more often, that song always brings a tear to my eye or at the very least a lump in my throat. :rolleyes:

I've taken the survey/experiment/test thing. Did you compose/play those tracks yourself? They're nice :)

Yes! Queens of the Stone Age is a very interesting group. I recommend the album "Songs For The Deaf." The song "No One Knows" is my fave by them, and it's on that album. Them Crooked Vultures is like Queens of the Stone Age, but since you've got John Paul Jones, ex-member of the legendary Zeppelin, and Dave Grohl's (I :heart: Foo Fighters) combined songwriting talents and experience, it makes for some nifty sounds.

Nah, not gonna shun you, you're awesome! I'm not a huge fan of Oasis, but I always thought Wonderwall was one of those songs that transcended their fanbase and into popular culture. Wrong-ish am I! Kings of Leon are really an acquired taste. Try giving their newest album (Only By The Night) a shot. Most of their older stuff, I do not care for, but their most recent I really really like. That song was a diamond in the rough. I have a feeling Red Hot Chili Peppers was one of the surprises for you. It really doesn't sound like most of what people hear by, them, so you're probably not alone :cool: I've noticed that my tape has quite a bit more energy than most of the ones I've downloaded/seen here so far. Just so prospective downloaders know what they're getting into ;)
