We-he-he-ell doc. I see you're paying lip service to your avatar.
Forget about the reasons and the treasons we are seeking
Forget about the notion that our emotions can be swept away, kept at bay
Forget about being guilty, we are innocent instead
For soon we will all find our lives swept away
Yeah, I like adding personal touches to dave songs too. you should see me watching listener supported. During the jimi thing jam, I'm watching the TV, guitar in hand, dancing around and playing all kinds of random riffs to the basic E to A progression of the jam. during BOWA, I add that C to D slide thingy dave does in TSJL to the last chord of the verse.

i can't help but do it. i change many lyrics to fit my preferences of meaning, and some chords. though i do like to learn the 'original' as a base of reference.
god knows it weighs on me...as heavy as stone and a bone-chilling cold

I could never get the hang of Seek Up until I started playing with a metronome and made an important discovery...this song is in 3/4 time!! Who knew?? Well, maybe everybody except me. I always look for 4 beats to a measure in Dave's songs, but this one took me by surprise. Anyway, now that I count to 3 instead of 4, everything has clicked into place.
If you don't own a metronome...get one. It has made a huge difference in my playing.
