Keep On Tryin' - Poco (cover)

[westridge999]

Learn to carry a tune...wow...this is bad at best.

[visinho]

Very nice cover man! Wonderfull changes between chords.

Greetings

nice cover, by the way what is the strumming pattern? i can't find it anywhere...

[misslinse]

i like this song better, when you play it:

C G

I've been thinkin bout all the times you told me

It makes it "higher" if you get me, it makes it sound more like Timothy B. Scmith.. But i like the blues touch you gave it never the less

[senn416]

That was great. I like your sound. The blues harp is a very nice addition. Excellent tune. I made a version recently that you're welcome to check out if you get a minute.

nothing beats the pure harmonies like you and your brothers lay on it ... I liked your vid!

...and thx for comments.

Drummers get the gals???  That's news to me! Of course I was only 13-14 when I was into the drums. I played them night and day, and got pretty damn good, then my friend moved, and took them with him! I picked up the guitar at 17, but I'm definitely not a natural like some folks. I had a good friend that started the same time as me, and dropped out of high school to play professionally! He was playing on Bourbon Street at 18!

Livin' the dream ... lol.

[chewbacca0901]

Nice touch with the harmonica! I "keep on trying" to sing and play this, but it just ain't Poco, no matter how hard I try!

[kb1056]

Chewy - don't dispair ... as I said here, I ain't no Tim Schmit either. keep on singin'

[chewbacca0901]

Thanks kb, but with me, it's more like "keep on croaking!" I actually used to be able to sing damn near like Tim Schmidt, but I had GERD, and it ate up my vocal chords. I had to have major surgery in '93, so it's fixed now, but my vocals are shot. I was a decent drummer, but I still can't play the geetar worth a damn after 32 years!

[kb1056]

thats too bad about the singing ... I would love to hear you in good voice ... and hell, I wish I was a good drummer ... they get all the gals! lol

best - kb

[lordweird]

Don' supposed you can give a guitar lesson on that, huh? Especially the strumming part.

Thanks.

[xFortunateAccidents]

Wow, i really liked it! you have good playing and a good voice too! I like that its a bit different to the chording> Yours is more interesting 5/5 :)

[kb1056]

Thanks - kb

[Crowsfan55]

[C0TT0N3Y3JO3]

Lovin it!! =D

[kb1056]

Thanks Cottoneye! Glad you liked it!

[volky07]

could you post or send me the tabs for this song your fingers kinda hide the strings and frets... thanks!

[kb1056]

Sorry volky - I don't do the tabs ... but this is just basic chording ... G-D-Em-C-G ... hope that helps. rgrds - kb

[whatdoicarehuh]

TBS is one of the great singers alive. but u did real good. u sing folk?

[kb1056]

Thanks - tried to put kindof a folkie spin on it here. I've got some other tunes posted at my YT site if interested. Thx!

[robotwall9495]

great job! of course out of all of you here i will be the one with the backstage pass!! haha great job dad!!!

[chewbacca0901]

A for effort, but "keep on tryin!" ;o) Great taste in songs, BTW!

[kb1056]

lol - didn't even try to do it in the original key. Timothy Schmit I know I'm not ...!

[chewbacca0901]

I feel your pain! It seems to me that he plays it in "B". "Ultimate guitar tabs shows it in "C", but I had to transpose it to "A." I still can't handle the highs. I actually used to be able to sing, but "GERD" ruined my vocal chords. Keep up the good work!

[Eddie629]

Excellent !!...that was great !*****

[kb1056]

Thx! (btw - really love your stuff on YT!)
