I had to learn Bb and B about 6 or 7 months ago. As when I sang this song in A it was well to low. I was intimidated but really enjoy it now. The song that I learned it for, does not sound real good(when I play it) with the ring of open strings. I really enjoy the double stops in closed positions and finding those surprising open strings (at least to me) the D string open for a cool flat 3rd sound in B or regular 3rd in Bb. "I'm Blue and I'm Lonesome, too" was the song.
I don't care if I use or don't use a capo... I don't have one so I may never use one, who knows? I agree "Punk"in pie (tis the season had to do it)... not learning odd keys will do your playing a disservice. Learning that one song has opened many a door for getting around in Odd keys or regular keys up the neck. Wish my Bass player felt the same way. The workshop I went to, they showed Sally Good'n in Eb. pretty good stuff in Eb for that song with that open G. I am a person who currently doesn't hear a whole lot of accent notes so most of my playing is bare bones, not with out flares or taste, but, not flashy either. I enjoy my playing and am not looking to become Andy Statman or Dawg so I don't see myself writing down my solos anytime soon but improving is always our goal, I think. Not being able to read music and only stumbling through tab really assists my non composed solos. I guess I could record my self and file through the different ways I play it, as I can usually remember how I play things and pick and choose from that??? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Taterbugmando" group.
