I want to play this song, but I am too new to figure out what he is doing.
Can someone figure out what the "fingerings" are being used. Thanks

the link you put down didn't work...
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9tW4VWSHhjk" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9tW4VWSHhjk</a>
lets see if this works
well, he has a cappo on the second fret and play the chord shapes ( but not the actual chords) of E and A4 to start with then doing a few barr chords further up the neck, if there was no cappo on it would be F and G chords then back to E
<a href="http://www.chordie.com/chord.pere/www.ultimate-guitar.com/print.php?what=tab&id=440317" target="_blank"> http://www.chordie.com/chord.pere/www.u … tar.com/pr int.php?what=tab&id=440317</a>
on that link it shows D and G in the verse, The guy in the video is playing the same notes. The cappo on the second fret makes the chord shape of E as the sound of D and the chord shape of A4 as G. ( I am sure it is A4 he playing stead of just A)
also, if you go to this link and transpose 2+ and put the cappo on, play the chords you see and it should sound the same as this guy, apart from the bar chord parts, but should be easy enough to work out

that worked

Ken, I do not know what the above means. (sorry I am very very new)
hi,
no problem.
If you look at a song in chordie, to the right hand side there is a box that says transpose. It is above the box for different instruments, banjo,guitar uke etc.
If you go to the transpose box and click on any of them the chords on the song will change,
i.e
If you have a song and the chords are B G Eand then you transpose them 2+ then it transposes the chords up two notes so the song will be C# A F#
( two notes up from B = C, C# as there is no B#. G = G# A. E = F F#)
if it is transposing 3+ the B would become D the G would be A# more commmonly known as Bb and E becomes G
now, when you have no cappo on and play a G chord it is G, but if you have a cappo on the 2nd fret then it makes that sound of G go up two notes to A, even though your fingers are holding down the shape of a G chord.
I hope this helps. Go to a song, any song and try it.
You might find that certain songs dont sound good to you when they have the chords that are posted with them and you might find you can sing it better when you transpose the chords. I find lots of songs starting with a D chord really irritate me so I transope it 5+ ( meaning it goes up 5 notes) and start playing the song in G, then most times I can sing it better without straining the old vocal chords as much.
any probs ask again and I might try and get it on video and let you know
Ken
Wow thats a lot to digest. I appreciated the assistance. I found where you can tune it up or down and get the appropriate chords.
I do not fully understand because the D G C translation that is the default does not sound right at all. All I have is my ears to judge bc I am very much a novice.
So if I tune it +2 and play E A and D version it will sound like I am using the Capo and doing what the guy in the video does? or are they the fingerings I need to use using a capo?
Thanks again for helping I am dying to play this song. It is one my kids know and they would really thing it was cool if I could play it.
hmm, you would not be tuning 2+, 2+ is for when you transpose the chords on the song only, not on the guitar.
Best bet is to put a capo on the 2nd fret and play E just like the guy in the video.
I might have time sometime this week to put this on video, as long as my camcorder is stil working after I threw it in my car today and broke the zoom in control, and it zoomed in and stayed zoomed in,lol. If I can zoom it out and keep it out i will record what I mean, might be better to explain.
Ken
Hi bloodfingers,
After looking at the video of what you are wanting to play I have transposed and altered the chords to the start of the song. With your cappo on the second fret play the chord shapes shown and you should be OK

Roger,
Thanks so much!!!! I am headed out this morning to buy my capo and get to work! I will let you know how my progress is.
I'm not sure that is an A4 chord...I think it's an A2 chord. The second string was open which rings a second above the root. There was no 3rd fret on the second string which would the fourth.
Hi Alex,
I am not going to argue with a guy who has been to music college and I am sure that in fact we both mean the same thing an A chord with the second string open. It is listed as an A4 in the chord chart from Chordie resources where I got my information from. My apologies to bloodfingers for getting the chord name wrong.
Roger
My thanks to ALL who would take time out of their day to help me. I am off to music store to get my capo now!
Got my capo, and started working. The first 2 chords I got down cold with a reasonable strumming pattern.
the 2 bar chords in the chorus well not so good, but still working on it. Just cant figure out where to place ye olde digits for those.
But my wife was impressed with the first verse! I will work on those other parts again tomorrow any suggestions?
