Welcome to Gaia! ::

For the benefit of DigitalTrowa, a tab to the intro to Madonna, Hollywood.

Bear in mind: it will not look right on your computer screen.

You have to copy the whole thing into Microsoft Word, then change the font to Courier New. You will also have to change the size to smaller than size 12, and tell it to ignore all punctuation and spelling.

If the asterisks are irritating, just change them to white, or replace them with spaces. I couldn't do that here, because when you type multiple spaces on Gaia, it only comes up as one space.



Bm/F# = (224432)
D = (X00230)
G = (320003)

You don't actually have to finger all the notes on the D and G chords, because you don't play all the strings, but it might help if you don't have to think about what your left hand is doing.

Thanks for the lesson.

Well thats because everything fast is easy for me if I have a pick. Im talkin about something that will kick my right hands proverbial a**. The best classical songs I can play that dont use a pick are a couple of Bach's Lute suites(dont remember the names, but they are in Am). I guess those are hard but I feel like my finger picking could be much better.

If "happy" isn't your thing, why do you like Bach?

I'm actually writing a classical piece at the moment that's not at all happy - I'm calling it something like "Il suono de miseria profunda". The begining and end are very expressive, and have lots of pauses and harmonics, and the middle is a sort of fast, passionate, flamenco section. If this sounds interesting, I'll try and send you a copy somehow.

For his minor pieces. Im gonna start learning Toccata and Fugue today. I love how Bach puts phrases together.

Oh, wow, thanks! I finnaly bought my acoustic today. Thanks so much for posting these tabs up. I suppose I can lower myself to green day. Or I'll just try for Motorcycle drive-by by third eye blind. :shrug: Thanks.

Thanks. How long does it normally take for a steel string acoustic to have it's new strings keep their pitch?

If you streach em' when you put them on, they will keep pitch by the time your done, but some people say it sacrifices tone to a small degree.
