Was Home originally the flipside to Walk Don't Run?

Thanks to oldflogger and wstanger for the chords.    I'm finally sorting this out and learning the song.   I'll post tab when I'm done.

But first some audio entertainment: The original (were there variations of this recording?) and a more recent live version  (anyone know when this was recorded?)   Sounds great

Cool...I had been listening to the stereo version....I just listened to the mono version...a tad different but with a different ending.   I like it.   Thanks for posting.

Solo Playing tips:
Most of the solo is open strings on every other note..just keep your fingers going on and off the keyboard

The solo has an underlying melody (bold notes in the tab)..this is basically played along with adjoining strings.  Follow the melody and the rest will come.

This tab is in C…the record is ˝ step off  but it is played in C as can be seen on the youtube video.

Thanks for all the help.   I'm finally getting back to working on this.
First....using a Audacity I was able to read in the album version of Blue Moon and shift it up a half step so it is in tune with the guitar.....I can also slow it down without changing pitch.

The recorded lead that Bob plays is different than the one he plays in the youtube video posted above.   I find the album version harder to play and like the live version better.
The tab for the recorded verse is something like:

Code: [Select]
E)------------------1--1----0--------1-1---0-------------------33333---|
B)------------------1--1----1--------1-1---1-------------------33333---|
G)-0----0-0-----0-2-0--0----0--------0-0---0----------------2--44444---|
D)--3-2-------3----------3--2--0-2-3-----0-2-----0-2-----------55555---|
A)----------~----------------------------------3----3-3-0-3------------|
E)---------------------------------------------------------------------|


WHereas tab for what he's playing on youtube is something like:

Code: [Select]
E)-------------------------------------------------------------33333---|
B)-------------------------------------------------------------33333---|
G)-0----0-0-----0-2-0--0----0--------0-0---0----------------2--44444---|
D)--3-2-------3-----2--2-3--2--0-2-3-2-2-0-2-----0-2-----------55555---|
A)----------~----------------------------------3----3-3-0-3------------|
E)---------------------------------------------------------------------|



I/m not great at tab so please see it only as a guide and correct me where I'm wrong.

Also from the youtube version ,   watching Don play the chords for the lead in he is playing C - Am - Dm - G...........which is interesting because the lead plays F where he  plays Dm.

I'm working on tabbing out the solo and will post it when I complete it.   The solo uses a lot of open strings.    On the recording for the 2nd time through when they move up one step, he must have put a capo  on the 2nd fret....only way he could have played the solo.   Makes me wonder if they used capos a lot.    I wonder if they used it to play the lead on Perfidia for the 2nd time through.

well...that's my update for today

I've always loved the way Bob used the vibrato (tremolo, whammy bar...whatever) and feel I've never been able to get it right...like Bob.    I usually play a strat.     Anyone have similar experience or am I the only remedial one here :-).   Any advice?

Thanks

Looking for chords and tab for Blue Moon...in particular the lead piece that starts when they come back from the bridge about 1:00 in.    The tab I have found on line so far looks wrong and unplayable (for me anyway).    The only video I have found is at the link included here.....Blue Moon starts at 3:38 with the lead at 4:20.

Any help appreciated.
thanks

General Discussion / Re: JUSTLY DESERVED STATUS...
« on: March 23, 2012, 10:47:42 am »
Just to further the discussion....

When we say "The Ventures" who do we mean?   Is it just Bob and Don  (as originally just they two were known as  The Ventures) or is it Don, Bob and anyone who toured with them? ....granted some toured with them for a looooong timne :-)

I think the original post may be referring to the early years when a few tunes that Don and Bob did not play on were released on record.    Probably common practice in the record industry at that time.   George Martin wanted to (and did)  replace Pete Best and Ringo for the Beatles initial recordings. ...but they were still Beatles recordings.   The Beatles had other recordings that they all 4 did not play on....but still Beatles recordings.  But, if none of the Beatles played or sang on a "Beatles" record...would we consider it a Beatles song just because it was on the record?

Anyway...it is what it is..... I love all of the Ventures tunes regardless of the exact line up.

Well, This isn't me....but I used this youtube video to learn this.    I play it just a little differently in a few places, but this guy does a great job

General Discussion / Re: Gringo....who plays what?
« on: March 16, 2012, 09:53:48 am »
OK...I finally learned how to play this and have tabbed it all out.   I posted the tab in the Tabs and Chords section of this forum.   I think it is pretty close but my tab skills are not the best, so I may have not tabbed it correctly in some places (like the solos)  but it is in the ball park so you should get the hang of it.  My fingers had to become a bit more nimble than they usually are to play this...but it is a fun number.

I'd appreciate any feedback, corrections or perfections.

thanks

OK...got it figured out...   use the preformatted text button above....just to the right of the crossout S.     Push that button and it leaves the cursor between two control characters....paste your text in here.    It will not look correct in the edit screen where you type, but it should look OK when you push the pre-view button.
good luck
