Playing guitar with my dad

May 24, 2008 16:21

Hey! I have been playing guitar with my dad for about an hour and we're having a greta time! We just started learning to play walk the line and folsom prison blues. It's awesome. I love JOhnny cash! We compiled a list of songs we could learn and here it is. Any other ideas of great country songs? Post it please!

When we're being silly, it can be fun to blend them.

"Awwwoullllthough it's alllwayyys crowded;
(Full-chord F, F, F, ---slide-up-to--- G.)
Yeeewwwww c'n still find some rooooom,
For broken-hearted lovvvvers, to cry there in the gloom, an' be so lonely," (intermittent chords) "an' be so lonely," (etc.) "an' be so lonely they could cryyyyyeeeeee.

Thuhhhhh Bellhop's cryin' riv-ers!

Thuhhhhh Desk-clerk's dressed in BLACK . . . "

(Switch from the pattern of F to G slides and C with little finger alternate C7's whopped-full-cords to a specific-pickin', stuccatto, amplified, heel-of-hand-muted "A" run and alternate bass in the key of A with the characteristic muffled-slap and continue)

Singin'; "You'll fiiiinnnnnd me at th' hooooooooooome uvvvv th' blues," (thup, thup, thup, doop) "You'll find me at the hoooooooooome of the blues."

ummm... hi. I uhh just wanted to say sorry for not emailing you ,but my parents don't feel comfortbale with me talking to a starnger online. It's not you personally, it's just my mom is a paramedic and dad is a cop so they don't want me to get hurt. I know you are probably a really nice person, but i can't go against what they say. It's been nice talking to you.

With absolute agreement and approval I most certainly endorse your family's exercise of parential prerogatives. I, too, wound up my 'working years' with a twenty-five-year intensely-public career, and, as your folks would probably acknowledge, maybe we haven't "seen it all," but we've probably come close. And yes, as Scripture tells us: "Tribulation worketh patience, and patience experience." We've noticed that we do well to not be too casually presumptuous regaring many matters in life ( ... )
