Any advice on the chord changes for night moves - bob seger? that G to F to C seems most difficult to time and move so quickly...and top it off i have fat fingers... :-(
I don't know the song. Is that progression? Perhaps you can use a barre G. The change to F is very quick. From F to C could be quick, too. You can use your ring finger as an "anchor", moving up one string the middle and changing the index postion.
If you don't like the barre, then the C to G (I guess you start again) it could be easy if you use your middle, ring and pinky fingers. Just you must move up the middle and ring and start to use the pinky.
I hope it helps.
I use the "cheat" F 1123XX I find it much easier than barring it.
NIGHT MOVES - Bob Seger
Capo 1
[G]I was a little too tall, coulda' used a few pounds[F]
[C]tight pants, points, hardly reknown[F]
[G]She was a black haired beauty with big dark eyes[F]
[C]and points all her own sittin' way up high[G].......
[F]......[C]way up firm and high[F]
[G]Out past the cornfields, where the woods got heavy[F]
[C]out in the backseat of my sixty Chevy[F]
[G]workin on mysteries without any clues[F] [C]
Working [D]on our night moves[D] [C]
Tryin' to [D]make some front page driv[D]e-in news[C]
Practicin[D]' our night moves..[D].......
[C]...[G]...in the summertime[F] [C] [F]
[G] in the sweet, summertime, sum[F]mertime[C] [F]
[G]We weren't in love, oh no, far from it[F]
[C]We weren't searching for some pie-in-the-sky summit[F]
[G]We were just young and restless and bored[F],
[C]living by the sword[F]
[G]and we'd steal away every chance we could[F]
[C]to the back room, the alley, or the trusty woods[F]
[G]I used her, she used me but neither one cared[F]
[C]We were getting our share
practici[D]ng our night moves[D]
[C] tryin' to lo[D]se the awkward teena[D]ge blues
[C] workin o[D]n our night moves[D]
[C] [G] [F] [C] [F] [G] [F] [C] [D] [D] [G] [G7]and o[Cmaj7]hhhhh...............
I [G]wonder [Cmaj7] hey, we felt the lightening .
[F]And we waited on the thunder, [D] waited on the thunder[G]
I [G]woke last night to the sound of thunder
[Cmaj7]"How far off" I sat and wondered,
started [G]humming a song from 1962
[Cmaj7] Ain't it funny how the night moves
[C]We just don't seem to have as much to lo[C]se
Strange how the night moves
[C] with[Cmaj7] autumn closing i[G]n
[G]night moves....[F]......[C]night moves..[F]......(repeat and fade)

The way to play this is with a partial F and alternate G fingering that was mentioned before. The song is not meant to be played with barre chords. Here's how to play them: G F C
E:--4---1-----0--
B:--0---1-----1--
G:--0---2-----0--
D:--0---3-----2--
A:--2---4-----3--
E:--3---x-----x--
C to G is pretty easy this way as all you do is lay down your pinkie and move index and middle up a string.
Hope this helps,
Steve
I've got a seger song book that shows g to open to c to f and back to g.

That's strange. I also have a Seger songbook (Guitar Anthology Series) and it shows the progression as (capo I) G-F-C-F-G.

That's the way I mangle it. :shock:

Yea - it's all in the rhythm. Another guitar playing showed this to me years ago and it was easy. (It's so much easier when someone shows you).
Since then I've forgotten it but I think the secret is to Palm Mute the Chords between each change.
Bob Jessie
Here let's try this, G and C are the same rhythm:
PM=Palm Mute
G
D/PM DU/PM DU/PM
F
DUDU
C
D/PM DU/PM DU/PM
F
DUDU
Back to G
Hope this makes sense. Sounds right.

I got the Hal leonard bob seger book and it shows G-F-C/G-F-G
I kinda got the strum down and I saw a a video of seger in concert last Dec. on youtube and he has no capo, and i can see the G but cant figure out the other chords..looks like G-C-G-C...aarrgh...it seems so simple...but its proving other wise!!!

Don't let the fact the he has no CAPO fool you. He may have the guitar tuned down a half step and then the chords formations will be different. The only problem I had was switching from G to F (quickly). Use the easy "F" (Fmaj7) if you have to.
Use all downstrokes until you get the rhythm.

thats what i figured on the capo, he probally is tuned different...can anyone throw up a short video of the first couple bars so i can see how it is done? that would be great!
I play along with the cd in Ab and it sounds ok, no capo or anything .
Verse Ab Gb Db
Chorus F#m Eb Db

I know a little bit about a lot of things, but not a lot about anything...
Looking for people to jam with in Sydney Oz.......

You can see in this video that instead of palm muting (with his palm) he's palm muting with his fingers, either one should work. I might have been wrong about the F chord ? It appears he's does a quick DU then to G and C.
