Hello everybody. A couple friends came over during the blizzard the other day and we got a case of beer and made some noises.
Here is the House of the Rising Sun (soundcloud.com)
This is the song. The guitar song of all guitar songs. I figured there should be a House of the Rising Sun FNGT. Everybody plays this one song. Fuck all the other songs.
That would be interesting!
For whatever reason, I have a bitch of a timing singing and playing that song at the same time.
I can do it. You won't notice that there's a problem. That's just because I've hammered it into my skull.
It's just the timing of the song that fucks with me.
Man, how bout "Peace Train" with Cat Stevens, or "Like a Rolling Stone" with Dylan, almost impossible to play and sing.
i've never played the former, but i can do Like A Rolling Stong, while singing along. That was another one where repetition mattered.
I was having a bitch of a time doing the picking pattern, I think I might have had too think of a pick so I said fuck it and did it half speed LoL
It's a bitch to pick and sing at the same time. I dunno why... It's just that timing.
I can play complex lead parts and sing at the same time, but that doesn't matter. This one just fucks with my head.
Yeah, it's that fukcing D chord, four note arpeggio. Four strings instead of five. That really throws everything off. I learned it's better to play the D chord using a C chord barred at the second fret in order to play the five-note apreggio using five strings. It's a hard-ass chord to make though. Or play the D chord while adding the F# (4th str/4th fret) in order to make it a five note arpeggio.
I don't suppose too many folks would notice the difference. So, that'd work.
Nice lick man for beer and blizzard night. Love the song come out nice is that allowed down?
