I just remembered something I used to play 'as a kid', can't remember the name of it but it's pretty simple (and I still messed it up)... Just for the record, this is the FIRST recording I have ever made of me playing on the computer... Haven't gotten around to buy any picks yet so I cut a bit of plastic out of an old drivers license... sounds terrible, but goes to prove that I'm a newbie as it says to the left of my posts

PS... My fat fingers also gets in the way at times... but at least I'm practicing

If this IS a song and you recognize it, please let me know what it is :-)

Nice song, I'm not sure but it kinda sounds like the outro song from "The Last Waltz". If you can, please tab this out!

It really sounds familiar, but I just can't place it.

Your playing is pretty good too and welcome!

I'm not really good at tabbing things out (yet) but these are the cords (if they are cords)...

First off I tuned the first (bottom) string (E) down to D (as 3rd fret on 2nd string to) so you have:

E A D G B D

I only played it on the 3 bottom strings (G B and now D)

D 5 4 2 0 0 0 5 7 9 5 0 0 0 12 9 5 0 0 0
B 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0
G 0 0 0 0 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 0 0 0 0 0 2 0

Did this make any sense or help at all?

I just realized that this is probably played in G Major tuning, but like I said I was only playing the 3 bottom strings - Finger picking 1st bit:

Erm... just a short question... if it IS a song, why did it get moved? I reckon it is an 'easy' song (if it is a song)... No dramas though... But I almost always question everything :-) (Please don't kick me out of the forums) - I'll try to be good ;-)

The 'easy songs' forum is for... er... posting easy songs, as in "Here's a song that's easy to play" :wink:

Anyhoo, that does familiar, but I can't think what it is. I get the feeling it might have been on an advert recently, but I dunno. Not much help, am I? :roll: :D

Any help is better than no help :-) And I will try to post some ...umm... blues riffs after Christmas.

Seems you like to Rock'n Roll so I might post some of that too (if I can learn it) ;-)
