Knocking on Heaven's Door Verse 3

Dylan didn't always sing this optional third verse:

mama wipe the blood from my face
i'm sick and tired of all these wars
there's a lot of people feeling just like me
feels like I'm knocking on heaven's door

The Alarm sings a cool version that includes this third verse.

Thanks, Chris G., for the words & video link!

Boneoke Aug. 17, 2011

Just got back from the Bone. On the bass, I sang "Low" by Cracker; and "Knocking on Heaven's Door." Plus, for the first time ever, I also played bass on: "Pride & Joy" (SRV); "Better Man" (Pearl Jam); "Sweet Caroline"; and Creed's "One." I actually have never ever heard that Creed song before -- the rhythm guitarist showed me the chords once and we started playing.

Just Got Paid & The Rover

Last Tuesday todd, Brien and I played a cool version of "Just Got Paid" where we broke into Zep's "The Rover" and then came back to "Just Got Paid." I found some inspiration for some of the bass fills in Ver. 3 of The Rover bass tab. Todd & Brien were inspired by Dream Theater's "Big Medley" and came up with the idea for this rockin' mashup.

Key to the Highway

By Big Bill Broonzy

Notable versions by Eric Clapton & Duane Allman, Little Walter, Junior Wells

I sang this with Ken at NGW, alternating verses, which we pulled from Blues for Peace.

8-bar blues
||: A | E | D | D |
| A | E | A D | A E :||


I got the key to the highway,
and I'm billed out and bound to go
I'm gonna leave here runnin',
cause walkin' is most too slow

I'm goin' down on the border,
now where I'm better known
Cause woman you don't do nothin',
but drive a good man 'way from home

Now when the moon creeps over the mountain,
I'll be on my way
Now I'm gonna walk this old highway,
until the break of day

Give me one more kiss mama,
just before I go
I'm gonna leave this town,
ain't comin' back no more"

So long baby, now I must say goodbye,
So long baby, now I must say goodbye,
I'm gonna walk this highway, 'till the day I die"

Rolling in the Deep

Julie likes to sing Rolling In the Deep (chords).

Capo 3

Open Tuning: D

I got back from the guitar monastery today and promptly tuned my little Yamaha to the Vestapol open D tuning: D A D F# A D. I reviewed some basic major scale forms, then tried them out strumming. I also worked on some Travis picking. This is a great tuning and I'd like to record some of the ideas I came up with while I was playing.

Rehearsal: Sat. 12/11

With Todd - in addition to the usual, like "Learn to Fly" and "In Bloom," we covered:

• New Shoes
  
• Drive
  
• American Woman
  
• Apeman
  

And this was what worked:

• Hey Joe
  
• Hey Joe tab 
  
• Low

Learn to Fly - Foo Fighters

Cover of There Is Nothing Left to Lose

I love the Foo Fighters, so this is a fanboy post - hope that's OK.

Any time I want to learn a Foo Fighters song, (which is: always) I go to the band's official tab site, http://www.fftabs.com/ where they've got it all, including guitar and bass tabs for all of their albums. Why don't more bands do this?

Video

The official video for Learn to Fly sure fooled me. I was like, why is there an ad? Isn't that Jack Black? Is that the band in drag? It rewards close study.

When this video came out in 2009, the Foo Fighters were at the peak of their career. The song was originally released in 1999, from their amazing album, There Is Nothing Left To Lose, which I can listen to over and over.

Want to learn how to play the guitar parts? Marty will show you how to play the rhythm chords and how to get the "shimmah" you want. He goes in to some detail on chord formation and some tips on how to play it real nice, including strum patterns. Also shows how to play the second guitar part, using a bend, and a sweet little tag at the end of the riff. He doesn't neglect the bridge part either (around 8:17).

Album Info

Get the album from Amazon (your purchase helps this site and, of course, the Foo Fighters)\



Album Name: There Is Nothing Left To Lose
Label: RCA/Roswell Records
Release Date: 1999-11-02
US Billboard Peak: #10

Recorded at Studio 606 in Virginia, Spring 1999. Dave Grohl on vocals, guitars, drums; Nate Mendel plays bass and Taylor Hawkins plays drums. Produced by Adam Kasper.

You can also download the song only from Amazon: Learn To Fly ($1.29, last I checked, but I think the album is a better deal)

Singing and Drums

If you want to learn how to sing the song accurately, or want to learn a simplified version of the drum part, you can use the Rockband (version 1) video game -- it's part of the first version's default song list, and you can export it to version 2 and 3. I use Rockband to practice singing the song while I play the guitar part or bass part on my actual instruments, so I know I can do it live (the plastic instruments, besides the drums, are pretty silly).

Buy the software from Amazon: Rock Band for XBox 360; (other platforms available from that page, too). It's really cheap, but they won't have copies forever.

You can also download the song in Rocksmith, and learn the lead, rhythm and bass parts.

It's Not My Place (In The 9 to 5 World)

It's Not My Place (In The 9 to 5 World) by the Ramones just popped up on the iPod in shuffle mode, right as I was writing down my plans to bust out of the 9 to 5 world. How cool is that?

Who's to say what's impossible
Have they forgot
This world keeps spinning
And with each new day
I can feel a change in everything
And as the surface break reflections fade
But in some ways they remain the same
And as my mind begins to spread its wings
There's no stopping curiosity
I wanna turn the whole thing

Chorus:
Upside down
I'll find the things they say just can't be found
I'll share this love I find with everyone
We'll sing and dance to Mother Nature's song
I don't want this feeling to go away....

Who's to say I can't do everything but I can try
And as I roll along I begin to find
Things aren't always just what they seem
I wanna turn the whole thing

Upside down
I'll find the things they say
Just can't be found
I'll share this love I find with everyone
We'll sing and dance to Mother Nature's song
This world keeps spinning and there's...

Bridge:
...no time to waste
Well it all keeps spinning, spinning
round and round

Upside down
Who's to say what's impossible and can't be found
I don't want this feeling to go away

Upside down
Who's to say what's impossible and can't be found
I don't want this feeling to go away

Upside down
Who's to say what's impossible and can't be found
I don't want this feeling to go away

Please don't go away
Please don't go away
Please don't go away
Is this how it's supposed to be....
Is this how it's supposed to be......
