Joseph Paul - Knocking On Heaven's Door (Bob Dylan cover)

[MrDanielmThomas]

that was excellent,well done for not letting the mandolins naturally chirply voice detract from the songs more sombre mood.Thank you.

Joseph, I'd like to use the same chord changes you use especially going up the neck on the bar chords... I just can't see where the fingers are landing, its hard with a lot of You-T mando postings because the neck is small & the fingers are big! If you can help sort out the description of the chords you use I'd like to learnit better. Thanks

@mossymando

Sure! Let me take a look here and see what I did...

OK, the first chord is just a regular open G, 2nd is just a regular open D. then it goes to an Am, which is bar at 2nd fret, 2nd fing on 2nd string 3rd fret, pinky on 1st string 5th fret...

[JosephPaul2]

Let's see, what else here...

Then it goes to a bar Cadd9, which is up there at the 5th fret, with just the pinky on the 8th fret at the 1st string. The little riff on that chord is the 3rd finger hammering off and on the 7th fret 2nd string.

[JosephPaul2]

Then that little walk up at the end of the refrain is the Am, sliding up to a B minor, which is the same shape only up two frets (4th fret), then up to the Cadd9 I described above.

Hope some of that helps, let me no if anything is unclear!

A nice ringing, pounding tribute to the original song. All kind of people wear all kind of hats wear what you want. CHORDS... whose got them all in a row.... to lear?

@mossymando

[Aesthestoid]

you kind of look like a thug with that hat. And by kind of, I mean really. A mandolin-playing thug. It's a little strange.

[snakem420]

very mellow, nice work.

[tarmenmin]
