Don't Think Twice Acoustic tabs

No one around with the charmed life chords?! I know the power chord stuff on the net but I want the open chords which Mike plays [img]biggrin.gif[/img]

You're the man. I know that was simple, but it did wonders for me. Thanks!

No problem man. Glad to help!

They have a chord listing for it on Ultimate-guitar.com, I don't know how accurate it is, but it's there.

Yea thanks, I've also tried these (|Cm - Ab| - |Bb| - |Cm - Ab| - |Bb| ) without success. These chords doesn't fit exactly. You can see in the greensburg vid that he plays a D, an Em, a G# PC.. and some other chords which I can't figure out exactly

[Love_Pain]

Greensburg Video? I don't think I have that one.

But I agree, I don't think the chords are right on that site. The majority of the time the net is wrong. I'd like to see that video though.

I'd figure these out for you, but for some reason my media player isn't working.

Anyways, the best way to start learning these songs is to just use your ear. Start out by playing the power chords that sound correct, or at least close to correct, and just work on variations of them until you have it down. In some phrases just substitute open chords or a little melody in between chords and there you have it.

Also, I wouldn't count on tab sites for very accurate tabs of Social D songs, they're wrong for the most part.

You should use the oldschool style "media player classic" if you want to have less problems, LPplayer.

Yea powerchords are one way, I prefer the single notes to figure something out, but sometimes I've my problems to find the right way.

I know that most tab sites are wrong, but it's also weird that the guys from Hal Leonard tab on their own without asking Mike how to play it.
Some of the songs in the tabbook "Live at the roxy" are right, but some parts are missing, and some aren't exactly. I know that Ness plays today some songs different but these are not the problem.

Mike should note down all his published songs and sell the handwritten styled book for 80 bucks [img]wink.gif[/img]

I'll check into that media player. For some reason, mine plays the song now, but with no volume. Everything else has sound but not my player, errrrggghhhh......

But yeah, that Live at the Roxy book does have it's issues. That's where the whole learning by ear thing comes in though...at least it really helped me because instead of trying to see everything the way it should be, I learned to hear what notes and chords sounded correct.

But Mike doesn't use any complicated chord formations though (usually major with a smattering of minor), so work through it man, it'll make you a better guitarist in the end.

Good luck!
