LOVE the intro chord progression he did at his Tone Merchant's gig.

Anyone can help me out in deciphering the chords? ive figured out some but theyre not quite there imho.

Also, i know he's transcribed the song in Guitar Techniques April 2005 issue. heh its long ago, and i cant get it off the net..anyone has a copy of this?

thanks!

to my dearest sir that is a fantastic song and guthrie is a fantastic teacher i just wish that the gt members would come to singapore and do guitar clinics here.Sir please check properly there is a website that you can find that particular issue good luck in playing this song!

i have that issue of GT.

anyway, first 2 bars is a E7

from bar 3 to 18, its Bm7, D9, Gmaj7, F#alt

one of the pointers given in that issue mentioned bout the track can be tackled with B natural minor scale, throw in some F# superlocrian over the F#alt chords.

I aint much geetar player, so cant understand the above.

ok this probably got nothing to do with the tune; it was funny because few months ago he came over the school for his clinic. Some guy's phone in the audience was ringing; he heard it and played the ring tone with his guitar while on stage. Everyone found that funny. oh well....lol
