Thanks for the tip about your use of semi-barre chords - I've learned a bunch of your tunes over the years but often had trouble replicating your sound in certain sections, so I think you just helped me fix that.
Now post video lessons for every song in your catalog, okay? Seriously. Please...?
THere isn't a GLSs song I don't like. Most artists sound alot different when they sing outside their records, but I couldn't spot any differences in his voice!
Thanks Tony! Finding chords for songs can be so hard sometimes, mostly because bands don't like their tabs being on the internet etc, which is really silly, considering most people are just playing for themselves. Keep the great music coming, this last album was so good, my favorite so far! Your sound just keeps getting richer and more refined. Visit Yellowknife again some time, you guys would be very well received!!
I noticed he didn't use a pick, I agree with him, Using just your fingers to stum/pick gives the guitar more depth, not to mention you dont have to worry about loosing your picks ;)
I can't tell you how important this band is to Canada! I'm looking forward to seeing Tony and his band at the Edmonton Folk Festival this summer. One comment I would like to pass along to Tony is the beauty of this song in open D tuning... I play the initial chord like an Emaj, then open. For the change, I use my thumb to cover the bottom four strings to get a really haunting sound. Excellent song!
