CWB 21: Finally legal!

[drummer5359]

I've been otherwise engaged. My best buddy Dennis' mom passed away. We've been involved with that.

Miss Tat! Jackie is really looking forward to meeting you. You can stay in our guest room when you are west-bound after boot camp.

Jaame, I played through it a couple times. In that spot that you talk about, I am playing:

G (E string 3rd fret) A (E 5th fret) Em (A string 7th fret) in the first part. Second part play an open E where the Em is. After that, where the lyric goes, "I know I won't be leaving here...with you", you play A (5th fret E string), C (A string 3rd fret), D (A string 5th fret), Em (A string 7th fret)

My room is booked in Reading by the way. Woo-Hoo!

I know that later in the song when it does something similar it sounds more like this: (1/8 notes on the E string)
E|-53-33-22-00-|-55-33-22-00-|

After that i've taken the TAB i could find and moved it to the E and A strings. Yeah i know i can find the same notes on higher strings, but i know my way around E and A better :-)

J - in that slower segment, here's what I'm hearing:

E rest E rest E rest E rest (eighth notes) for four bars
E rest E rest E rest EG (eighth notes) for two bars
A rest A rest A rest ABb (eighth notes) for one bar
B rest B rest B rest BD (eighth notes) for one bar

Repeat this progression 7 times.

Then E rest E rest E rest E rest for two bars.

Then

AAGGFFF#F#EE (77 55 44 on the D string 77 on the A is how I did it)
CCCCDDDD (played on the E string at 8 and 10)

Repeat this progression four times, then roll back into the progression I did above it. If that doesn't make sense, let me know and I'll try to find a better way to explain it.

The ER doc stuck a plug into my nose that feels like it ends back behind my eyes and filled it with a mixture of Afrin and saline solution. I now know there is a pain worse than passing a kidney stone. It looks like I have the sponge applicator for a bottle of shoe polish sticking out of my nose.

Over the past several days I have swallowed so much blood my canine teeth are 1/2" longer and I find myself avoiding mirrors when I walk through the house. As you might imagine sleep has been hard to come by. I am leaving in 30 minutes to meet my ENT doc at the OR to have this plug removed and cauterize the "leak". Wish me luck please. Another freaking week end lost for the crow...

Tat, no reason to spend money on a motel if you do not mind a sleeping bag, pillow and a comfy sofa. Coffee is free. (just read back at what I had missed and saw your travel reference. On the other hand, if you prefer more privacy I will get you a motel reference. There is a dog track/casino two exits west of me)

G - glad you've stopped leaking and are feeling a little better. Nosebleeds stink.

I'll keep you posted with more details as soon as I get my other stuff booked - but I'm definitely swinging through to visit. May have a friend with me, which is why I asked about hotel. Plus - I snore like a chainsaw and I'd hate to have you and yours sleepless because the windows are rattling.

Mike, so sorry to hear about your friend's mom. I was planning to hit Dunbar on my way UP to Reading, so I'll let you know what's going from that point. If we can work it all out - we shall. Same thing though - I may have a friend with me. Either way - I'm dying to meet Jackie, so we're gonna make it work somehow.

BassGen - I haven't forgotten you. I was tied up through the weekend, but I'll fire off an email tomorrow night after my lesson.

hey drummer - I am booked for the nights of the 28th and the 1st. I'll be otherwise engaged with family matters during the days, but hopefully one of the nights we (and Tat, and whomever else) can get together. I was going to stay over the night of the 2nd as well but I have a gig in upstate NY on the afternoon of the 3rd so I have to roll out on the afternoon of the 2nd. Looking forward to it ..

[JimB52]

I'm a thinking about making the trek, just to hang out.

[tomydacat]

I'm arriving evening of the 28th. Since camp doesn't officially start until mid-day on the 1st, we should plan to do something on Thursday night before it all gets hectic for everyone. What do you guys think? I'd personally love to do something every evening (even if it's just dinner and a drink), but I'm in a sociable phase right now. Jim, you should totally come and hang out. There's a welcome reception on Friday night that non-campers can attend for a fee (not sure what the fee is, but I can find out), and it gives you the meet and greet with all the instructors, too. That could be fun.

Tommy, this actually looks a lot what I'm hearing (except I think I played one segment in a different place on the fretboard because I like the position better for the timing.

[Mulebagger]

It is a cool song, and i was jazzed when we first put it on the table to vote on, that while it was playing i picked some of it up by ear. That's a first for me, but then that low E is one of my fav notes too :-)

The other one we're supposed to learn is The Toadies "I Come From The Water" and except for the speed, and the weird time signature (sets of 6 notes) it was easy. Now i need to wait for the rest of the band to learn them.... which is also a first.

[tomydacat]

I usually learn everything by ear but we are doing Elvis Costello song called Peace, Love and Understanding. the youtube did help me on this one HAHA

[JaamE]

I'm printing everyones note and i'll take a stab at it tonight while my kid has Scouts and wont be bugging me.

We'll definitely hang and have some fun.

Besides bass gear that I'll need for boot camp, I'm bringing my cajon to jam on. If anyone plays acoustic guitar, that would be cool to bring along as well for laughs.
