[phishphan12345]

Very nicely done!!

"why not?"

Ive been online to find tabs and cant find any ones that sound well, can you give me the tabs on how you played it here! thanks

[theerion]

hhey thanks! i never found any tabs for this either, i learned it by ear. however, i can tell you the chords: Edim, Bm7 (back and forth), then walk down to A and back up to C#7, landing on E7, and then the Edim/Bm7 rhythm again. there's a barre walkup from the A also, C, D, E (rest), bahbah C#7 (rest) E7

[coldshot55551]

I gotta tell ya............................­......I just smile so big at the end at what you say, WHY NOT what the hey that's the attitude you need to stay a musician.

[theerion]

you're so encouraging, kim! thank you and yes, that's one of my favorite phrases. why not?

[coldshot55551]

I'm glad you didn't stop singing

[theerion]

well thanks kim, that's nice of you.

[tomkts07]

[fillieg]

This was much better than sample in a jar

[theerion]

i agree :) thankya

[pbl1]

really nice job!

[theerion]

thanks!

[jellyfish74]

hey theerion,

i've been watching your vids tonight and i really gotta say that you've got a VERY good natural talent. you've been playing for what, a year? and you have owned lawn boy. that's not a super easy song, especially for a beginner and ESPECIALLY playing by ear! you nailed it man. anyway, keep it up. you're going to be a force to be reckoned with at this rate...

[theerion]

you are amazingly encouraging, jellyfish!! I actually read this yesterday but found myself unable to come up with a sufficient reply... we're resorting to a simple 'THANK YOU' because you leave me, of all people, speechless. People like you help keep my enthusiasm up in the face of a steep learning curve. :-)

[jptrudeau1]

beginner, huh? that was some pretty impressive playin bud :)

[theerion]

wow thank you!  :-)

[ruotze]

....nice playin!

[theerion]

thankya!

[taylor410ce]

did you use a tab for that. if you did which site was it from.

[theerion]

i played it by ear

[taylor410ce]

tight.

[theerion]

thanks!

[straymouse]

Super nice!!

[theerion]

cool, thanks!

[phishin123]

[MichelZBlues]

That's beautiful, man

[theerion]

merci beaucoup mon frere

[leilaflorentino]

i can't believe you just started last year. you're a natural :)

[theerion]

aw THANKS leila! naturally driven? yes. naturally giften? i idoubt it. ;=) i'm checking out your vids now

[theerion]

oh man, you're wayyy too kind! thank you eddie! in college i learned g, c, and d, which i could play pretty well, but aside from that, nothing until august of last year. i played classical piano as a kid, so i'm sure that helped a bit. Lawnboy's one of my favorite phish tunes. Again, thank you!

[Eddie629]

Wow....I thought it was very well played !...I don't know the song...but...you played it with much precision( yer chord work looks pretty damn good )...How long HAVE you been playing Theerion ?...I like the overall premise of the song about a landscaping guy who totally loves plants that he just spontaneously bursts into song !!!...cool !

[mammagraham]

why not

me n you bro

"wife beater recipes"

another fine wife beater production

[theerion]

i smell a collab coming on

[farrows]

Phish is a great band!...pretty cool guitar licks you have bro...your vox really sounds like them...is Anastasio the singer?...great job anyway man

[theerion]

hey thanks farrows! phish is up there with my all-time faves - i even followed them around in a volkswagen for a few tours. anastasio's the singer, but page the keyboardist does the vocals on this lounge-singer-schmaltzy number. thanks again!

[els666]

im loving this

[theerion]

aw shucks, thanks els!! :P

[GreatGig1]

For a "beginner" you are very good! Keep at it! I think I'm watching the beginning of greatness...:-)

[theerion]

omg THANK YOU :-)

[pickersparadise]

so long as you don't explode as a finally you'll be ok

[theerion]

i did explode, actually... but I edited it out from the video, lol - thanks for the comment dude!

[pickersparadise]

lol

ahhh editing you say

sorry, i'm still laughing

[strat2caster]

nice groove bro, jazzy feel! your timing is near perfect on the transitions tween lead and rythym/vox, i mention it coz its tuff for any guitarist to pull it off....your pretty friggin good for the short time youve been playing man. *****

[theerion]

thanks very much, strat. you're very encouraging and its comments like this that motivate me to play. :-)

[Isodig]

So I know the name of the song and the title of the album from whence the song comes.. But what is it about? I thought your playing was really good bro. I don't know how it's supposed to end so I didn't know that was wrong, so forgive the 5 stars.. I guess I gave them too soon.

[theerion]

hey thanks isodig!  my impression of the song and phish's "schmaltziest tune" is that it's about a landscaping guy who's deeply enamored with plant life to the point where he bursts into song. lol
