[07Mrshayes]

Nice job man. You have helped me learn this song. I've been watching live videos of Glenn Phillips, but the videos were grainy and I couldn't make out the chords.I think I'll be able to figure it out with your video though. Thank you.

[digdug1226]

@07Mrshayes Thanks very much!! I did the same to learn it.. I used about 3 diff vids of Glenn playing it to hash it all out..... the middle is a little muddled but... I think I was in the right places....

I appreciate the comment!!

I e-mailed Glen Phillips and he was nice enought to respond...

Bridge:

capoed to the 2nd fret, it's forms like:

Bm F# Em G

Bm A Bb F Eb

or something like that....

g

[digdug1226]

No kiddin?? He plays it in different tuning live than the album version. Cool that he responded.

[OaverevaO]

officially my hero now.

[Sar0z]

Beautiful, very well done! I am desperately trying to learn it on guitar as well. Got any tips? ^^ It is such a wonderful song.. : )

[digdug1226]

Thank you very much for the comment! Drop D tuning... I watched 2 different videos of Glenn Phillips playing it to find the hand positions, but that is the easy part. Took me a while to get the picking pattern down, but once I did it got smoother faster... Good luck, and let me know how it comes out for ya!!

[elraver]

Amazing. Really truly feel this in my heart. As a singer (who /owns/ a guitar... can't say I 'play' it), this is nice and inspiring for me. Thank you for your contribution.

[digdug1226]

Thank you very much! If I can help you out at all, let me know and I'll see what can be done.

Much appreciated.

Doug

[xjag2000]

nice.... great cover... the work paid off. the chords sound wide open and ring out. gives it a big flowing full sound. i'll be studying this one.. thanks for posting...

[007starr]

What are your bridge chords?

[digdug1226]

hmmm not a clue... I figured it out by ear...sry

[DeanWinchesterWhore]

[pulptom]

god job.. always loved this song..

[digdug1226]

Thanks! Much appreciated.

[MaximilianFriedrich]

hej very good;)

but what chords do you use

bye "pull on the borders to lighten the load, tell all teh passengers we are going home"

you really would help me;)

[digdug1226]

Thank you! Not sure of the chords... the song is in drop D, and most of the chords there are barred...

[OaverevaO]

This is my favorite song, please tab it out, id learn it in a night if you did.

[digdug1226]

If I ever get time to, I might, but I do not use tabs. I learned this by watching Glenn play it live... Glad you enjoyed it.

[OaverevaO]

the top of the guitar is out of frame so it's hard to judge where your first fret is.

[Dad086]

this is the best version on youtube!! U should make a tutorial video!!

[digdug1226]

Wow! Thanks Bro! I have been asked to try a tutorial... I'll consider it, and maybe even try one out to see if I can actually teach the rifs lol!!

Appreciate your comment. Take care!

[Brahmstein99]

amazing;) sounds good, where do you have the tabs?, can i get them or the chords? greets from austria

[digdug1226]

WOW! Austria?? Well greets to you too!! I do not have the tabs unfortunately. I figured the song by watching a couple of different videos of Glenn (Toad's singer) playing it. I can tell you that it is in drop D tuning. Hope that helps. Take care!! Thanks for your comment!

[comedown11]

wow, until now, i don't know who was Toad, now i know this beautiful song, thanks

5 stars

[digdug1226]

Thank you very much... Toad was a wonderful band. Look them up and enjoy!

[Dad086]

amazing!!! can I have the tab?

[digdug1226]

Thanks!! Well, I do not have it tabbed out... I figured it by watching a couple of different Glenn Phillip's videos... It is in drop D and hopefully you can figure it by watching my hands.

[happynote]

Amaaaaaaaaaaaaaaazing, Doug !! :-)

[digdug1226]

You ROOOOOCK Li!! ;)

[kansaslo]

I really enjoyed this. It is also my favorite Toad song and you did a great job. 5***

[digdug1226]

Thanks for your comment!! :)

[yawbus1]

Beautiful job! Do you have any hints on how to get the picking down on the main riff? I want to learn it.

[digdug1226]

Hey thanks for the comment!! Okay, to keep the picking moving along, strike your bass note on every 1 & 3 count, and the rest of the riff kind of just falls into place. Hope this helps you!!

[TheMagicMeathands]

Nicely done!

[digdug1226]

Okay, made it home, so the model is the Santa Fe ESF40C

[digdug1226]

Thank you very much!! It is part of the Santa Fe line of Takamines. I am not sure of the exact model #, but I will be happy to get it for you when I return home next week. Thanks for watching!!

[green7865]

[digdug1226]
