WHITE CHRISTMAS tab tutorial

Eric — Sat, 20 Mar 2010 18:36:31 +0000

CHECK OUT MY “WHITE CHRISTMAS TAB”VIDEO BEFORE ATTEMPTING THIS TUNE.if you’ve gone through my lessons you will know many of these chords.i want you all to learn this simple arrangement by xmas,if it’s something you feel you want to learn.
i’ve put chord annotations above most of the chords.they run a little longer than i would like,and sometimes run through the next chord.but between the tabs and the annotations,i feel with a little work, you should get this tune under your hands by xmas.
please don’t comment on how you would play this different.i could have added more bass notes and fills and runs and substitutions,but i tried to arrange this so it’s playable, but decent sounding for the majority of guitarists.advanced guitarists will not need this simple arrangement as they can make up their own.i have had many requests for a lesson on “have yourself a merry merry xmas”and also the “xmas song” that i posted many monthes ago.i’m sorry,but i feel they are not as easy as this tune,so i opted to teach this tune instead.sorry
best of luck to those of you who decide this is something you want to learn.and an early merry xmas to every one.
“texheel” explains here how to do it without writing out the tab:
for students following with the tabs from the other video just right click on the video and open in a new tab to bounce back and forth…
Choose a video to watch as you normally would, pause it. Select another but this time “right click” on the title, the selections will allow you to open this additional video in ” open in new tab”, another page…which you then just select the video for viewing..ps the selections will de in the “tool bar” directly over the video..
thankyou “texheel”

Drum Solo

Eric — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 03:46:23 +0000

This is an excerpt from a longer version of the song of my drum solo from March 1983. I was helping out a friend of mine at his school talent show. We played one song which will be come evident by the end of the clip. I had to teach the bass player his riffs and he did a pretty good job of it.

The idea of this performance was for my friend Greg to change from his Fender Start to a strat copy I had traded to him for an Electric Mistress. Ge had rigged up the guuitar with a humbucker pickup, it was a feedback monster and sounded really good. Greg was to smash the guitar at the end of the song but he got confused as to how he wired up the volume pot and when he thought he was turning it up he was really turning it down. He ended up switching back to his guitar and did not smash it, hence all the crackles during the solo.

I used some pictures of some of my drum heroes as well as the few pictures I have of my drums sets and myself. A couple of “surprise guests” will make an appearance too!

“Goodbye Blue Sky” How & Why, Part 1

Eric — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 00:41:41 +0000

Part 1 in my series on how I play my solo bass guitar arrangement of Pink Floyd’s “Goodbye Blue Sky” and some insight into the choices I made in creating the arrangement.
Part one covers preparation, including research & gear set-up.

This was recorded with a $30 webcam and assembled with Windows Movie Maker – my 1st “live” vid. I’ll experiment & see if I can improve video quality a bit for Part 2 & following.

You can hear this clip in )))STEREO((( at the link below:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-FsgNTNeExA&fmt=18

NOTE: If you don’t see the video annotations (little grey boxes w/ text), click the arrow in the bottom right corner and then click the little box that pops up from there [little TV-screen that looks like a page is being peeled from the top corner]. This is the toggle switch that turns annotations ON/OFF. Apparently it defaults to “OFF” when you “Watch in High Quality” and/or add the stereo extension “&fmt=18″. You should see the 1st Annotation about 0:22, and they definitely complete this clip.
Plus, you’ll never find the secret message without them.
