I looked at several tabs today for this song, and you are right, they are all different and none of them use the chords I use.

I will tell you the chords I use right now.
Em Cmaj7 Dsus4-6 Dsus4 B7 e--0----0----------------------2p-- b--0----0------0--------3p-----0--- g--0----0------0--------0------2r-- d--2r---2m-----4m-------0------1i-- a--2m---3r-----5r-------X------2m-- e--0--------------------2m--------- Now, I don't have my guitar handy, but the picking is something like this:
Em Cmaj7 Dsus4-6 e---------0------------------------------------------- b-------0-----0---0-----------------0-------------0--- g-----0---------0---------------0--------------0------ X 2 d----------------------------2--------------4--------- a-------------------------3--------------5------------ e--0-------------------------------------------------- Cmaj7 Dsus4 e---------------------------------------------------- b-----------0-----------------------3---------------- g--------0-----0-----0-----------0-----0------------- d-----2-----------2-----------0---------------------- a--3------------------------------------------------- e--------------------------2------------------------- Dsus4 Em B7 e-------------------0-------------2------------------ b----------------0----0-----------0------------------ g-------------0-------------------2------------------ d---------------------------------1------------------ a---------------------------0--1--2------------------ e--2--1---0------------------------------------------ Now, as I said, I don't have my guitar handy, and I really don't think about this pattern, but this should get you very close.

Now, you play this riff through the verses. On the chorus you play Am, D, Em.

On the solo at the end you play Em, C, D, Em, Em, C, Bm, Em over and over.

Let me know how this sounds, I'll have my guitar handy next time and correct any mistakes.

Sorry, meant to mention I'm just grateful for anything you find time to do.]]> News biker_jim_uk https://guitarnoise.forum/news/sometimes-youre-hot-sometimes-youre-not/paged/4/#post-172308 https://guitarnoise.forum/news/sometimes-youre-hot-sometimes-youre-not/paged/4/#post-172307 Tue, 18 Apr 2006 02:21:57 +0000
I will make an effort to tab Highway Song this week. Sorry about the wait.

I do not know if I play it exactly like the recording. Dom our bass player has several different recordings of this song and they are all a little different. I have never tried to exactly duplicate the song, but I think I play it very close to the recording. I am almost 100% sure I am playing the correct chords. But I may not be picking them exactly like the recording. It will get you very close.]]> News Wes Inman https://guitarnoise.forum/news/sometimes-youre-hot-sometimes-youre-not/paged/4/#post-172307 https://guitarnoise.forum/news/sometimes-youre-hot-sometimes-youre-not/paged/3/#post-172172 Mon, 17 Apr 2006 07:42:40 +0000 I found a Guitar Pro tab of it on MySongBook.com which seems pretty accurate. (Other than the few lyrics that show up, which cause me to suspect that maybe English was not the tabber's primary language. Then again, I can't write in French.) I think it was a GP3.
If you don't have Guitar Pro, you can download a demo version of GP5 (which will play anything tabbed with previous editions), and have fifteen days to try that tab and any others you may fancy.
Maybe Wes can save some time by comparing that version to what he uses. If it's "close enough," maybe he can relax a little during his "time off." :wink:

We now return you to the original theme of this thread. :lol:]]> News Doug_C https://guitarnoise.forum/news/sometimes-youre-hot-sometimes-youre-not/paged/3/#post-172172 https://guitarnoise.forum/news/sometimes-youre-hot-sometimes-youre-not/paged/3/#post-172164 Mon, 17 Apr 2006 06:16:21 +0000 as you have a few weeks off, any chance of that Highway Song tab please?

That is an excellent idea. Most clubs will allow underage kids in providing there is at least one parent to supervise. And most stipulate that the young people are not allowed to sit at the bar.

I helped get a good underage band in my area several gigs at clubs. They did well. A couple of their parents showed up and lots of kids as well. The club did pretty good selling soda and food. And there were plenty of regulars who showed up and enjoyed the show as well.

So talk to your parents and see if they would be willing to chaperone you. Perhaps one of the parents can go along and talk to an owner about getting you up at an open mic. If you do well you can talk about getting a regular gig. You may have to play free, but what the heck. It's lots of fun and you gain experience playing in front of crowds. Just as it takes practice to learn your instrument, it also takes practice to learn how to play a gig. There are a lot of do's and don'ts. :D]]> News Wes Inman https://guitarnoise.forum/news/sometimes-youre-hot-sometimes-youre-not/paged/3/#post-167542 https://guitarnoise.forum/news/sometimes-youre-hot-sometimes-youre-not/paged/3/#post-166480 Fri, 17 Mar 2006 22:49:46 +0000 News classic_rock_kid08 https://guitarnoise.forum/news/sometimes-youre-hot-sometimes-youre-not/paged/3/#post-166480 https://guitarnoise.forum/news/sometimes-youre-hot-sometimes-youre-not/paged/3/#post-165927 Thu, 16 Mar 2006 00:13:35 +0000
Wow, that first gig was terrible. I've been at some pretty wild gigs with fights breaking out and the cops being called, but never anyone seriously hurt. That would be terrible.

Some people cannot control themselves. They get a little booze in them and act like idiots. That is not the band's fault. They would fight whether you were there or not.

xg5a- Sounds like you guys had a pretty good gig. All your practice paid off and your band was the best.

Go back to that club and see if the owner will book you guys. The best place to score the next gig is the last place you played. If fact, we always try to book a few gigs that night.

Our band has a month break now. We needed it, we have played the last 4 weekends in a row. Our drummer has his children every other weekend and doesn't really want to play every single week. So it is good he will get to spend more time with his kids. We are going to try and learn 3 or 4 new songs in this short break. We want to work on some newer songs (90's-2000).

Our show Saturday was great. Not a real big crowd, maybe 100-120 people. But they enjoyed the show, applauded and danced. The owner was real happy and booked us for another show in May. Paid us pretty good too. :D We are starting to really loosen up on stage, relax and have fun. Our last 3 shows were all good and got the crowd going. So we are really starting to perform well now.]]> News Wes Inman https://guitarnoise.forum/news/sometimes-youre-hot-sometimes-youre-not/paged/3/#post-165927 https://guitarnoise.forum/news/sometimes-youre-hot-sometimes-youre-not/paged/3/#post-165003 Mon, 13 Mar 2006 00:10:10 +0000 Sorry to hear about that story. I guess sometimes you just can't win.

As far as my band, we've actually been doing better. We played last night(Saturday) with a few other bands, and although the PA was awful, we played pretty good. We had maybe 100 people who came to se us, and nobody came for the other bands...that was a little awkward. Eventually the other bands (a bunch or hackers, really) cut us off because there "wasn't enough time for the other bands to go on." Everyone was quite impressed with how we sounded, though, and now everyone is asking about CD's. Unfortulately, I think we need our own PA.
Here was out setlist:
Rock and Roll-Zeppelin
Start Me Up-Stones
Pinball Wizard-Who
Purple Haze(I wish my guitar strings didn't break)
Hymn 43-Jethro Tull
My Generation-Who
Funk #49-James Gang
American Band-Grand Funk]]> News xg5a https://guitarnoise.forum/news/sometimes-youre-hot-sometimes-youre-not/paged/3/#post-165003
