I'm with Alvee33 on this one. I'm a die hard Eva Cassidy fan. As far as I'm concerned anything she plays on guitiar, or piano for that matter is excellent - let alone that voice! On acoustic try "Ain't no sunshine" or electric and acoustic on "The Letter"

G'day James,

I had the opportunity to get to the local music stores yesterday and I asked the "musos" if they had the sheet music blah,blah,blah.... anyway, it seems that Bell, Book and Candle has not been published (which I'm having a bit of difficulty coming to terms with) as none of them could get it through their respective resources. They suggested contacting the Hewerdine crowd directly and asking them for the music. I sent an email but it was returned as it (get this) "... may contain obscene language, graphics or spam-like characteristics" . I haven't got a clue what they are talking about unless it's the Australian salutation of G'day (Good day!) In- bloody-deed

Needless to say, I have decided that it is now my mission in life to get this music - chords and TABs. If only that was the greatest problem to be addressed, life would be so much simpler.   On a serious note (no pun intended) my local pub is the Canberra Irish Club and it boasts more musicians than you can poke the proverbial stick at (just ask them ) I'll ask around as I'm sure some of them (who are professional or semi-professional musicians, all mad keen on folk music - Tuesday nights when the Guiness is cheaper is a must to behold!!), will have Hewerdine's music if it is in fact available and, failing that, someone is bound to have figured his music out esp. that song.

I have been messing around the Gsus4 adding D and occasionally G on the 1st, then I think it jumps to a C or an A7 (I'm just trying  to mimic what I can sort of see on the video).

Whatever

Take it easy

Hi  Kendo 86,

I'm with a couple of the other Chordies - just ignore Vampfang. He sounds like an obnoxious pratt.

Anyway, Justin Sandercoe has a pretty good beginners lesson where he discusses strumming (it's on video, too, so that helps. http://www.justinguitar.com ).

Hi

What song are you learning and where abouts are you on the fretboard? I'm not familiar with the chord (in fact I've never heard of it! not that that means much, I guess) but I'll hazard a guess that you'll need to include the E (1st string 12th fret, if you are playing at the 7th or 9th fret. If you are at the 2nd fret tho.....) All I can say is good f..king luck:) it looks like a cumbersome stretch.

ps I have just taken a look on the net and I think that you've got a chord that someone/artist has made up (not that there's anything wrong with that, mind you. All power to 'em. That would explain it not being a particularly well recognised chord.)

G'day,

Try having a shot at "House of the Rising Sun" (strumming and/or picking). The chords are really easy Am, C, D, F, Am, C and E. Then play the same pattern BUT skip the second C i.e. jump straight from the Am to the E. It looks like F will be the only chord you might have a problem with (practice, m'dear ). Don't be scared of the Am - it's the same as the E just drop down one string. Actually, now I think about it just pick down the strings of the Am chord (starting on the 5th string) and you'll figure it out really quickly by yourself. Hum the song and you should notice the natural progression of the chords. Just take it easy.

Good luck

Alec

G'day Senor,

Thanks for that. I'll give it a shot.
