Goo Goo

Post by sbhanot »

Hey all, I'm looking for some Goo Goo Dolls tabs that don't force you to tune your high e up to a g# or something ridiculous like that - I got a good one of 'slide' with standard tuning and a capo on the first fret - does anyone know of any others?

Two Days in February is a great song in standard with capo at the second. Everything else I know is in alternate tuning, which has caused me to break many a string.

anyone else think Johnny Reznik looks kinda like a women. Or at least has womenly features. My friends who listen to Goo Goo dolls defend his masculinity, but I think he has some distincly femine features. But anyways, the goo goo dolls are really cool. always worth taking a listen to.

Yeah, those damn tunings for Goo songs are always causin me to break a string. One time I was tryin to play "Name" at like 2 in the morning on a school night (I can't remember why) and I broke my G. So at like 2:30 I'm puttin a new G on my guitar. I was so out of it the next day. So, yeah.

"Hey, can you play Name?"

-Yeah, just give me 5 minutes.

"Now can you play Iris?"

-Yeah, just give me another 5 minutes.

"Now can you play Slide."

-Yes, pick something else.

Wow, that is kinda weird about the string :shock: . Anyway, I need to figure out a way to play some of those songs in standard. I love the Go-Goo Dolls but it always pissed me off when bands did alternate tunings to make songs easier to play.

Slide

Post by CPTino3001 »

I found a great tab for Slide in standard tuning...

To play with the CD, capo the first fret...

Intro/Verse: (Pick it out)
Em7
Dsus4
Cadd9
G/F#

Chorus:
Cadd9
G
Dsus4
D
Dsus2
D

Bridge:
Em7
Dsus4
Cadd9
G/B
Cadd9
Dsus4

...Just listen to the song and it will make sense...

Many people do alternate tunings to learn something new , to create something you can't just create in standard tuning , not to mention its fun to try other things :lol:

Yes alternate tunings are useful and do provide a different sound. Nick Drake is a perfect example, he was a genius. But bands like Korn that use seven-strings, tune down and then hack their way down the frets just piss me off :lol:
