Kroikey, I understand about the song book. No worries.

Minotaur, thanks for that video link awhile back. That really helped me "get it" with respect to this song. Although I'm finding myself practicing the strumming version more for the time being as I didn't really have the cord changes down quick enough to do the whole bass note, rake, and strike the highest three strings thing. I'm good with David's version, but because I'm only getting a finger or two down immediately it now seems much easier than having to get virtually the whole chord down instantly.]]> Easy Songs bluesy https://guitarnoise.forum/easy-songs/house-of-the-rising-sun-tab-by-animals/paged/3/#post-330892 https://guitarnoise.forum/easy-songs/house-of-the-rising-sun-tab-by-animals/paged/3/#post-329348 Fri, 22 May 2009 13:40:51 +0000 http://www.amazon.com/Jack-Johnson-Between-Dreams-Tab/dp/1575608308

It really has taken some time to get it sounding like the recording, but it was easy enough to simplify it to sing along to at the start. I'll let DHodge enlighten you with a lesson and pitch in with tips since I began attempting it. I'm sure theres Youtube covers and lessons on this too.

Heres a link to me attempting it. http://forums.guitarnoise.com/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=44211&p=407100

We should get back on topic for "House of the Rising Sun"! :)]]> Easy Songs Kroikey https://guitarnoise.forum/easy-songs/house-of-the-rising-sun-tab-by-animals/paged/3/#post-329348 https://guitarnoise.forum/easy-songs/house-of-the-rising-sun-tab-by-animals/paged/3/#post-329272 Thu, 21 May 2009 19:50:51 +0000 Banana Pancakes as an "Easy Song for Beginners" probably just after the fifteenth of next month (I've got a "book is half-due" deadline on the fifteenth, so I don't think I'll be able to finish the lesson before then...)

Kroikey, I'll definitely have to give Banana Pancakes the old college try as my barres need work and both the wife and myself love that song so it'll provide some information. Not to deviate the thread too much but if you know of a good tab for this do you mind posting a link or PM'ing it to me? Much appreciated if you can!]]> Easy Songs bluesy https://guitarnoise.forum/easy-songs/house-of-the-rising-sun-tab-by-animals/paged/3/#post-329271 https://guitarnoise.forum/easy-songs/house-of-the-rising-sun-tab-by-animals/paged/3/#post-329219 Thu, 21 May 2009 14:38:41 +0000 Easy Songs Kroikey https://guitarnoise.forum/easy-songs/house-of-the-rising-sun-tab-by-animals/paged/3/#post-329219 https://guitarnoise.forum/easy-songs/house-of-the-rising-sun-tab-by-animals/paged/3/#post-329085 Tue, 19 May 2009 23:00:09 +0000 Easy Songs Minotaur https://guitarnoise.forum/easy-songs/house-of-the-rising-sun-tab-by-animals/paged/3/#post-329085 https://guitarnoise.forum/easy-songs/house-of-the-rising-sun-tab-by-animals/paged/3/#post-329080 Tue, 19 May 2009 22:23:27 +0000 Easy Songs Kroikey https://guitarnoise.forum/easy-songs/house-of-the-rising-sun-tab-by-animals/paged/3/#post-329080 https://guitarnoise.forum/easy-songs/house-of-the-rising-sun-tab-by-animals/paged/3/#post-329064 Tue, 19 May 2009 18:59:48 +0000 As always, patience is the key - slow it down to a speed where you can make the changes comfortably, then gradually speed up till you're playing at the right tempo. I was told this years and years ago, long before I ever joined Guitarnoise - it's one of those pieces of advice that's become almost holy writ around here. I don't have a problem with however long it takes to lay down the muscle memory/neural pathways. Even the Little F and Bm are slow for me, but they are getting better, so I know I'll eventually get this to sound smooth.

Good tips, thanks. :)]]> Easy Songs Minotaur https://guitarnoise.forum/easy-songs/house-of-the-rising-sun-tab-by-animals/paged/3/#post-329064 https://guitarnoise.forum/easy-songs/house-of-the-rising-sun-tab-by-animals/paged/3/#post-329008 Tue, 19 May 2009 02:58:22 +0000

I was told this years and years ago, long before I ever joined Guitarnoise - it's one of those pieces of advice that's become almost holy writ around here. But the person who told me this went a bit further - he said, "once you've got to the right tempo, and you can play a song fluently, don't be satisfied with that - try and play it a little faster than the recorded version. You can always slow down to play with other musicians, but it's a hell of a lot harder to speed up."

In other words, if you're playing a song at 90 bpm, once you've achieved some kind of fluency at that speed, try playing it at 100 bpm....or even 120 bpm. You'll be surprised how hard you have to work to get those changes in on time - but you'll be thrilled at the end product.

:D :D :D
