It's Brilliant to see other people out there playing Beefheart stuff! Some of the best guitar ever recorded! I have been desperately wanting to learn the later slide on Big Eyed Beans from Venus but have never managed to get it quite right (nowhere near in fact). I used to transcribe Beefheart songs for the website beefheart dot com. I put a version of Electricity up there if you are interested, it is played differently to yours and unfinished. Keep up the good work mate!
This is f*ing rubbish - the chords in the verse are wrong and the opening melody's got some wrong notes as well. What's the point of putting up a 'HEY LOOK I CAN PLAY THIS' vid when it's so wrong? Eh?
The verse is G-Bb-G, not G-F-F#; the notes of the melody at the start should be:
(C) D (C) D D C Bb F; Bb B C G G A G F G.
To play it properly you need to tune to a G major chord (DGDGBD).
Please, please, please, post a tab or something. I can't figure it out from watching this video, but I want to play this song so bad. Your video description doesn't make much sense to me.
horrible sound quality, get a better camera/recorder

i got something to ask you: are you sure you have to make that
F F# G
instead of doing a
G Bb G Bb G.
i think the one with the Bb would be better. great job anyway.

This is really not accurate, though I'm glad this guy likes beefheart. He is kind of close, I'd give it a c+

ニッポンのド素人が自分の耳コピで弾いてるだけなんで
そんなゴチャゴチャ言われても知りません。。。
「これが正解です。レッスン用のお手本です」なんて
言ってませんし。。。
下手くそなのは自分がよく分かってますから。

Well, instead of posting such an obnoxious message, why don't you pull your finger out and make a reply video to show everyone how you do it?

Yeah Vu & Captain beefheart!
I'm gonna have to check your other vids & see what other cool stuff you have.
I have a cheapo version of "I'll be your mirror". No hot girl singing though... just me.
