It was pretty darned good....except for the fact I had to sing! The chords worked well, Stu was spot on with slide....another guy joined in, played chords....

I was really pleased....one of my all-time favourites and I got it spot on!!!!

Tonight we also plated !Baker St, Band on the Run....I swear I'll do it for the ESD one of these days!!!! -His Latest Flame, Love Hurts, Stand By Me, You've got to Hide Your Love Away, Money, Dizzy Miss Liizzy, Handle Me With Care, Wish you Were Here, and...big Finish....Let it Bleed.

So....couple of blokes go home, two of us left....Landlord says, "Can you play this?" and puts C****e D**n on....we said "NO!" made excuses and left.....he's a nice bloke, but C.....D.... fer gawds sake?

Ah well....my mate Stuart's coming round here tomorrow afternoon, we're going to work on some of my songs.....

And some oldies....It's my daughter's birthday on the 12th, she's invited some mates round for a BBQ....OK, if we can do the music.....

and we'll have to work out "kAYLEIGH" by Marillion....that's my daughter's name, be nice if we could do that for her....

Oops, rambling, waaaaaaay too much beer....I'd be even more drunk if he hadn't played a C****e D**n CD, not to mention skint....seems like I got out in the nick of time.....

Anyway - as for recording device....I think, just for a laugh, I'll take the compin next week, record the whole set on Audacity....

Problem....where do I upload it so everyone can hear it?

:D :D :D

Brilliantly worked out and presented. :D :D :D :D

I'm being a bad lad again reading and typing this at work but I had to reply. I can't wait, must try this out tonight!

Hope it works out well for you and the guys tonight.

Can someone slip a recording device into your session so that we can all hear Vic live at the Vic.

Thanks for giving what appears to be a much easier version of this great Harrison song to the ESD

Oh well better get to work,

P.S. Shure would like to hear you guys playing it tomorrow night with the slide guitar too. Alas, I'm on the wrong side of the pond! :wink:]]> Easy Songs Dan T. https://guitarnoise.forum/easy-songs/while-my-guitar-gently-weeps-alternative-version/#post-129852 https://guitarnoise.forum/easy-songs/while-my-guitar-gently-weeps-alternative-version/#post-12193 Mon, 03 Oct 2005 23:53:46 +0000 While My Guitar Gently Weeps - Beatles My apologies to the great Wes Inman who's already done an excellent tab of this..... BUT....A friend of mine from the Tuesday Night Acoustic Club and I fancied doing a version of this in the pub, me on rhythm, Stu playing slide... we've found we have very similar tastes in music, like a lot of the same songs, & this is on both our "favourites" list..... PLaying Wes's chords works fine....hell you can play along to the CD with them...but you can also get pretty close with these, they're just a wee bit simplified.... So here goes.... INTRO..... Am/G/D/F/Am/G/C/E/Esus4/E played like this.... Am G D F 1 + 2 + 3 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 1 + 2 + 3 dud d d u d dud d d u d dud d d u d dud d d u d Am G C E Esus4 E 1 + 2 + 3 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 1 + 2 + 3 dud d d u d dud d d u d dud d d u d dud d d d d VERSE..... The word "I" coincides with the last down stroke of the intro.... E Am G D F 3 1 + 2 + 3 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 1 + 2 + 3 + d d d u d u d d d u d u d d d u d u d d d u d u I look at you all, see the love there that's sleeping, F Am G C E Esus4 E +1 + 2 + 3 + 1 + 2 + 3+ 1 + 2 + 3 + 1 + 2 + 3 d d d d u d d d d u d d d d u d d u d u d While my gui tar gently weeps.... The next two lines follow exactly the same rhythmic pattern.... Am G D I look at the floor and I see it needs sweeping, Am G C E/Esus4/E While my guitar gently weeps.... Now this is where it gets slightly more complicated..... Normally for the E/Esus4/E changes, you'd play the E in the standard manner and play the "add-on" for the Esus4 with your pinkie...on this occasion, a little forward thinking is required to facilitate the change to an Amajor barre chord at the fifth fret.... So for the first E, you can play it as normal, with your 1st finger on the G string at the 1st fret, 2nd finger on the A string at the 2nd fret and 3rd finger on the D string at the 2nd fret...for the Esus4, simply addd your pinky on the G string at the 2nd fret....then....when you change back to the E, just before going into the chorus, use your 2nd, 3rd and 4th fingers to play the E..... then slide the whole shape up, putting a barre on at the 5th fret....now we're ready for the chorus... CHORUS.... A C#m F#m C#m 1 + 2 + 3 + 1+2+3+1 +2+ 3 + 1 + 2+3+ d d d u d dddud dd dud d d dud I don't know why, nobody told you, Bm7 E /Esus4/E /Esus4/E 1 + 2 + 3+1 +2 +3 + duu/du u/duu/d /u d d d u d d d du d How to unfold, your love, (The next 2 lines follow exactly the same pattern... A C#m F#m C#m I don't know how, someone controlled you, Bm7 E/Esus4/E/Esus4/E They bought and sold you, 2ND VERSE...same pattern as first... Am G D F I look at the world, and I notice it's turning, Am C E Esus4/E While my guitar gently weeps, Am G D F With every mistake, we must surely be learning, Am C E Esus4/E Still my guitar gently weeps, 2ND CHORUS...same pattern as first... A C#m F#m C#m I don't know how, you were diverted, Bm7 E/Esus4/E/Esus4/E You were perverted too, A C#m F#m C#m I don't know how, you were inverted, A E/Esus4/E/Esus4/E No-one alerted you, That's pretty much it....the solo is played over the same chords as the verses, and there's a bit of ad-libbing near the end using the same chords again.... Still finding it bloody difficult to transcribe strumming patterns... you wouldn't believe how long it's taken to write this down!!! - but this is the way we'll be doing it in the pub tomorrow night...I'll let you all know how we get on!!!!
