Mishka - Above The Bones (unplugged on The BackStage Pass)

[justinthelee]

That's BB KIng...He looks just like him and hold a guitar like that too

[MrSoulrebel87]

he played in roanoke a while back cool dude chills with you and actually talks not a snobby person, very down to earth, Bless Up Mishka

[grabersm]

@mmafighter540 The intro and all the guitar licks come from the notes of the A# major scale (or the same notes as G minor pentatonic scale plus some extras). The intro on the album starts with a slide from D to D# then down to C (7th fret of G string to 8th fret then down to 5th fret). Then A#, C, A# (5th fret, 3rd fret, 5the fret G string). then 5th of D string, 4th of D string, 6th of Astring. That should give you all you need to figure out the rest. Good luck.

[dharrison1936]

[MrBacardi1984]

My kitty Onyx was laid to rest this morning. We played this for him as he was put to sleep.

I'm sorry to post anything negative. I just miss our little boy.

[ETGuitarist]

@BabyBuns212 Awww, man...that sucks. At least when you hear this song it will remind you of good times gone by. Peace.

[MishkaFan512]

Great song! Check out some of his most recent footage from his show @ Stubb's in Austin on 6-2-10!

[jori277]

so fking nice

his voise is quality

[Ellavella]

I just heard this song on a young man's youtube channel, it is awesome. I am going to be looking for more Mishka music. Love it thank you very much.

[maxiemacho]

I know this guy is awesome! I would love to go to a show of him but he is nog coming to Europe or Holland so it's going to be very difficult for me:-( maybe when I am older, I am going to the U.S to a show.

[shaihainoon]

my favorite artist

i hope to see him one day, i would give everything!!!

[4verageMan]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BOB

[TheXenProject]

Sounds like Coldplay's singer meets Bob Marley

[MaryKateiAshleyOlsen]

są niesamowici ;)

[RunNGun89]

anyone know the strum pattern to the acoustic?

[mikeaccord]

thumb + down/up + up/down/up...repeat this patter for every chord (you'll have to strum along with the song for some differences).  For the chords, it's G Am C G D (repeat), again, there are some variances in the song so you'll have to strum along with the song to figure it out. Good luck!

[tribit12]

still loving it always think i need to go home but i have no where to go {still looking}

[bowchikiwawa94]

if any one knows the soloist tabs during the song can u please send me it because my band is playin a gig and we need the tabs for the solo for our soloist????

[brokenAstring]

@bowchikiwawa94 I know what you mean, I can't find them anywhere or figure them out.

[DaveDFFA]

try and learn it by ear? doesn't sound THAT hard...

[fatdummy69]

This Guy Is Awesome!

[otter667]

surely someone I would reccomend.

[wldowner]

Saw him last night in Seattle. The cool thing about this guy is, he will hang after his set and chill with you. His band is nothing but class act. This dude is the real deal. great show. if you get a chance check him out.

[asoutherngentleman84]

Tell me about it! He's frickin' amazing! I was also at the Nectar Lounge! Very exciting!!! I took a picture with him! Love it!

[ElTigre882001]

@wldowner Tru that. Didn't meet Mishka, but met his band mates back in October before his show. It was great, and that is how music should be spread.

[ElTigre882001]

@wldowner Tru that. Didn't meet Mishka, but met his band mates back in October before his show. It was great, and that is how music should be spread. One Love. Rasta Love!

[Godless2007]

I love this song. Going to see Mishka in Nanaimo on Saturday, can't wait!

[lantzvilledude]

Hey me too! i saw him last year and he was awesome!

[satrefftzs]

Rasta Far I...Ja will provide.

[JacCherokee50]

I love the rhythm and sound of Mishka's music. His songs are a nice change from the usual stuff we hear. I'll be listening to him a lot more.

Thanks to J K Livin!

[raidervato11]

This song is so bad ass man, makes me wanna go buy and check out his album.

[boundtoramble69]

B.E.A.U tiful Mishka.....can't wait to hear the rest of the album......

[Koniaku]

it's free on iTunes US :) good song !

[DickDime]

This song is an anthem. Truly moving as are many of the songs on the album. I can't wait until the Vail, CO show at the Sandbar Friday, March 27. Yes, I am the promoter (they will be playing with the Dirty Heads) and I purchased my copy even though I'll most likely get free promotional copies soon. I just couldn't wait to load my iPod Shuffle and run to this record! Beautiful.

[SimplyScooby]

I have to say, I like this version better than the one on the new album, they added too much to it, I'm still going to buy it, but keep it original guys... (Matthew McConaughey) cough cough

[freespirit1957]

I love love love Mishka! His music makes me feel so good :) Keep playin and writing these soulful songs Mishka. The world needs you!

[h3ndrix123]

Simply perfect!

[babash1]

can't wait for the album

[13antelope34]

Can anyone catch the lyrics in the third verse after "let our spirits fly so free, My little child wrapped tight in ??????, safe from harm oh yeah, ??????????????? Please help it's driving me nuts!!!!

[openflames]

we'll have to wait for the release to be sure, but i think the lyrics in the third verse are:

...let our spirits fly so free.

in my arms, a little child wrapped tight in prayer.

safe from harm, oh yeah,

ever guided by jah jah fire....

(*note..."jah jah" is shortened rastafarian from "jahwe"...another word for "god" .)

[justkeeplivin]

Mishka's new album ABOVE THE BONES - in stores Feb. 17th, 2009.

[FrantiMan]

Whens this album coming out

[urabummer]

best song ever

[justkeeplivin]

Wow..im a believer...darryl thompson on electric just subtlely props up mishka and his lyrics..so patient and cool...this guy, Mishka, has such a silky adams apple...and his lyrics are worldwide, universal, cosmic, and timeless...thanks for the beautiful perspective Mishka..it can never go out of style...the kind truth never does, just keep livin brother, lobster

[cmpurplygirl]

We love Mishka here in Omaha. Can you get him here, PLEASE! Last winter we drove 7.5 hours to Denver to see him and we are really itching to see him again soon.

[xdarkrabbitx]

couldn't have said it better

[memacl]

This guy is a true classic. Love the acoustic reggae. It never gets old. Hope he continues playing this type of music. No one can touch him.

[memacl]
