AggieDave 6 #27 February 5, 2003 That's a good idea, I have to learn how to do that first...I've been playing for just under a month, I can play cords and *some* picking stuff, although I'm (according to my roommates) picking it up very fast and doing very well, I'm still a LONG way off from where I want to be.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

AggieDave 6 #28 February 5, 2003 Here's the latest version, this is MUCH better then the original. Rgopher did some revisions for me and sent them to me, I took some of the stuff he did and reworked it to better fit what I'm trying to say and my strumming pattern. Tell me what you think! Quote“I Will Remember” Written By: David C. Lund 2/05/03 A-E-D-A Chorus-E-A-D-A Key Change (3rd verse)-Am-Em-D-A I will remember Forever that fateful night Awoken by the never dreamed To a nightmarish sight Our spirits have fallen, our hearts cry out Aggies rise up, Rise Up we shout! A call for help is now, we’re sounding out loud Bonfire has fallen, brothers and sisters need our help All hands are needed, they’re needed right now (Chorus) Angels on the Bonfire Dear God, take them home Let the War Hymn ring out When they approach your Holy Throne The sirens have loudly sounded Fire trucks have all come out And logs are being lifted off, We’re pulling friends out So gather ‘round boys, take a bite Our pots are on, tears streaming down Lift this log and let’s move it out We can’t stop the fight! Our task is long, we’re racing time This we know, without a doubt Forever long this day runs on We can’t stop tonight! (chorus) In silent prayer we all sing out Amazing Grace in united voice Standing together in the crowd Tears are all that’s found Arms around each other now We hug and say we’re do’n alright With candles lit, we silently walk Back to the site As Taps rings out, the tears streaming down Mourning the 12 we lost that ‘morn (chorus) I will remember Forever The night the Aggies Cried --"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

sharpfive 0 #29 February 5, 2003 That's really good. Sometimes for songs like these, a dissonant sound adds a "haunting" element. Being a jazz player, I'm sure you'll understand. Minor 9th cords with the 2nd and 3rd intervals played in a linear fashion work well. Enough theory, try this for the Am as an example: Low E - don't play - you'll play the E on the first string. A string - open D string - 2nd finger on E G string - 4th finger on B B string - 1st finger on C E string - open Technically it's not a complete cord because the G is missing, but the ear will fill in. You can easily apply the concept to the other cords as you see fit. Hope you like the idea. QuoteIf it sounds good, it IS good - Duke Ellington Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AggieDave 6 #30 February 5, 2003 Cool, I'll play with this and see what I can do. --"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
