Captain help

[bugman96]

Ok. Looking at the dmbtabs.com tab of Captain, I can definitely hear that in an mp3 I have of Crazy. However, listening to the Lillywhite Sessions Captain, I don't hear that part in the of the verse line that switches real fast from the A to the other chords (0:09 - 0:14) in Captain1-Crazy1.avi

Is it not there in the LWS version or am I crazy?

[gravedigger]

you're not crazy. its not there in the LWS but its there on BS and on the older versions when it was Crazy.

[bugman96]

Glad that's straightened out. Now for the followup:

Does he still play the A chord fast and then hang on the first chord of the verse twice before starting the verse over again? (If that makes sense)


Thanks for all the help.

Ok, I modified the exisiting tab to the BS version, added a few minor/necessary details..(ei: 2 verses, a slide in "Oh my love..", added a new part-"play with me again")

I find this to be exact to the album cut, for the previous versions you'll just have to adjust these parts to fit with whatever version it is...

I should submit this to jkanter...

anyway hope this finds everyone well...

I'm at work so i can't try it. But the slide is just what i was looking for. It always seemed like there was another chord, i just could never figure out what it was. Looking forward to playing later. Tanks Bradah....

[johntherevelator]

when i play along with busted stuff the oh my love section sounds way off?

[lordmelt]

i got a phat captain tab i made up, different chord styles, but sounds nice

[monkeyBoy22]

when i play along with busted stuff the oh my love section sounds way off?

hmmmm...I don't know john?, it works for me and it's the way the original jkanter tab was,

if I could do a vid, I would - but I cant....

it's like 2 quick strums on the A, then muted, then 2 quick on the E, then muted, then go into the quick slide and the rest....(prob doesn't help )

can someone do a vid?

I know that Catherine Gagne tabbed out Captain which is what I use to play the song. try doing a search on here and you may find it.
