Well, I spent an enjoyable hour or so in front of the CD player last
night. Actually I already knew a couple of these ones. Here are the
results of my efforts. Since I have done this by ear, there may be a few
mistakes. Also I am typing this up at work from memory, so there could
be more mistakes. Also I pray vi has not put any tab spaces in (I don't
think so). Anyway, enough disclaimers.

Enjoy, everybody,

  "Echoes"  (Waters, Wright, Mason, Gilmour)

(This is easier to play transposed down a tone, but this is the key on
the record)

  [C#m] Overhead the albatross
  [G#m] Hangs motionless upon the air
  [F#m] And deep beneath the rolling waves
  [G#]  In labyrinths of coral caves
  [C#m] An echo of a distant time
  [G#m] Comes willowing across the sand
  [F#m] And everything is green and subma[G#]rine.

  [C#]  And no one called us to the land
  [G#]  And no one knows the where's or why's.
  [F#m] Something stirs and something tries
  [G#]  Starts to climb to[A]ward the light.

  "Cymbaline" (Waters)

  Intro
  ||: Em      D | Em     D :||

  [Am] The path you tread is narrow
  [Bm] And the drop is shear and very high
  [Am] The ravens all are watching
  [Bm] From a vantage point nearby
  [Am] Apprehension creeping
  [Bm] Like a tube-train up your spine
  [Am] Will the tightrope reach the end;
  [Bm] Will the final couplet rhyme

  And it's [C] high time
  [F] Cymbaline
  It's [C] high time
  [F] Cymbaline
  Please [Em] wake me

Pink Floyd - Fearless
In celebration of the SOLD OUT Roger Waters show tonight May 4, 2008 at The Woodlands Pavillion. See you all there! Couldn't ask for better weather! "Fearless" is the title of the third track on Meddle by Pink Floyd. The song's slow tempo and mellow acoustic sound bear similarities to some of the other tracks on the first side of the album. Roger Waters composed the song on guitar using an open tuning in G major that he learned from Syd Barrett. He plays the acoustic guitar parts on the studio recording, despite his job as the band's usual bassist. FEARLESS You say the hill's too steep to climb Climb it. You say you'd like to see me try Climbing. You pick the place and I'll choose the time And I'll climb That hill in my own way. Just wait a while for the right day. And as I rise above the tree lines and the clouds I look down, hearing the sound of the things you've said today. Fearlessly the idiot faced the crowd Smiling. Merciless the magistrate turns 'round Frowning. And who's the fool who wears the crown? And go down, in your own way And every day is the right day And as you rise above the fear-lines in his brow You look down, hearing the sound of the faces in the crowd.

Pink Floyd "Fearless" re-imagined
I was away for a while, but now I'm back, in a big way. Miss me? Here's a little fantasia on one of my favorite songs to jam on, Pink Floyd's "Fearless", with some sonic sparklies tacked on to the end... what can I say, I got carried away. I hope this will inspire some of the other great musicians on my friends list to tackle some other obscure Floyd gems.("Fat Old Sun", anyone?) And feel free to chime in with "You'll Never Walk Alone" during the lead out here. As always, please pardon my vocals. ---------------------------------------- Frequently Asked Questions: 1.) What kind of guitar is that? What kind of strings? -It's a tobacco sunburst Simon & Patrick dreadnought cutaway, handmade in Canada, and purchased at Dusty Strings in Seattle, the best acoustic instrument store I've ever been to. For strings I usually use D'Addario Light Top/Heavy Bottom mixed sets, but I'm not really that particular, if I can't find them I'll use whatever's around (except for light gauge strings - light strings are unmusical and an insult to any decent guitar. I hope none of you ever use them.) By the way, Guitarist In Progress's pick of choice is the Dunlop Tortex Purple. I'll use a Tortex Blue under duress but for me the purple ones are the best. They've got just the right combination of strength and sensitivity (just like me.) 2.) Are you playing this in Open G Tuning? -Yep, as usual. 3.) I can't see your hands, man! -Ohhhhh, so you thought you'd steal my riffs, huh? Just kidding. Actually, sorry about the poor framing. Sometimes I get a good take when I'm just fooling around and haven't found good camera placement yet... after I saw how this came out, I did a bunch more takes of this with the camera positioned so you could see my hands, but couldn't come up with another performance I liked as much. Maybe after this has been up for a while, I'll post one of the later takes so you can see some of the licks. For those who want to see a good riffalicious video where my hands are clear, check out "Drunken Hearted Man ('Check Out My Riffs' version) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mDQcvpwStsg 4.) Is all this improvised? -Yeah, I can never seem to play a song the same way twice. It's a mixed blessing. 5.) Which one's Pink? -Roger Waters.
