Member Comments about this Lesson
Discussions with our instructors are just one of the many benefits of becoming a member of JamPlay.I don't care how long the tab takes....I am going to learn this song. Well done for giving us the opportunity Kaki
This song is awesome !!
tab plz:\
you can find the tabs under "SUPPLEMENTAL CONTENT" left from the comment section
The tabs / notation are now available. Sorry about the weird horizontal lines! Unfortunately, as you might know, guitar pro just isn't a 100% program yet. Somehow, the program corrupted the file, and I can't get rid of those annoying lines. Someday, I might revisit this lesson and do some chord charts, but I kind of doubt it. If you want to know what a certain chord should be called, send me a private message. Thanks and enjoy! Matt
Thanks alot for the tab; I wish kaki showed the beginning part like she did on the youtube video though but it seems like she changes the song up everytime she performs
Well the commercial of the website was very promising but when it comes down to explaining how to play the song it´s very unclear why dont you guys explain what chords to hold during the play well you can put in on loop but it takes a lot of time to figure it out or do i missing the section somewhere where it´s being explained?
how do you get tuned up for dadgad
...or I guess technically Bflat
The 3rd bass note of the song which is listed as 'A'(4th string 7th fret), should be A#(4th string 8th fret)
Are they going to be putting a tab up on here? The video isn't exactly step by step or even clear for that matter on how to play the song and I joined jamplay to learn this song
It's being worked on, but as you can imagine tabbing a song like this is extremely difficult so Matt has chosen to make sure it is 100%, completely accurate before releasing it to the public.
Thanks for this update. I was wondering about the tab too - can't wait to get going on this song : )
Yeah, that's understandable, just didn't know if they were going to make one. Thanks
I cant get the printer supplement to dispaly or print the informatiom. it comes out blank!.
lesson no 5 Goby is nice. I learnt something special from this lesson. thanking kaki king Mem.
i m only guessing kaki uses elixirs! her strings have that nice "elixir" scratch when she slides ^^
I don't know what she's using on her acoustic. We did some lessons on my electric and she asked for D'Adario XL's. Might point to what she's using on her acoustic as well.
I just heard this song on XM/Sirrius. Way cool.
