I've been playin' this song over and over again, I like the way I posted, it seems to fit well, 'cause that's what the actual chord is, a capo-ed C/E, except you need that high (capo-ed) G to ring out, I dunno, it seems to work. I might see if I can get it recorded.

i'd have to agree w/ that low e. both of those sound pretty good and a video would be nice cuz i just can't seem to get the verse and the lyrics to work for me at the same time

I'll try to get a cover of it done this week, it'll be a little tricky, 'cause I've gotta figure out the words and how I'm gonna sing it, and because I won't have the entire band backing me up, so I'll really have to nail some kinda comparable acoustic guitar line to fill it out. I'll do my best. :thumbsup:

For those of you who have a guitar in raised b tuning....Could you not capo the third fret and get a similar sound...I have absolutely no musical theory back ground, but I thought this would make sense since in standard tuning, raised b is capoing the seventh fret, so capoing the tenth (on standard tuning) would be the same as capoing the third on a guitar strung for raised b....No???? that make any sense?

Do I listen to pop music because I'm miserable or am I miserable because I listen to pop music?

Yea, it's the same thing (D tuning). I just tried it and it doesn't sound bad.

You have a raised B guitar? Do you use it for something other than DM songs??

My friend left on a mormon mission to ukraine and since his guitar was just gonna get dusty in his room, he let me "take care" of it for two years. He and I used to jam Dave and Tim stuff all the time. He said to keep it as an extra for raised B stuff.

It's been in raised B since he left. It's nice to have around. I've fooled around trying to write my own stuff on it, but with my little knowledge of music theory, I suck.
