A BLOG from the Studio


I'm in the studio right now pacing in front of the speakers with excitement at how happy I am with how these tunes are coming out. I can't figure out how to describe the sound but if you've seen me live with full band and liked it, this is gonna dig into you. It's rock with mandolin and accordion and piano and all these rootsy elements with balls. I have to put my energy elsewhere 'cause my excitement is turning into hyperness and that's probably making everyone here nervous. So I BLOG. I keep getting requests to posts chords to my songs so I'll do my best and relay to you the chords of "Faithful", one of the songs I'll be recording but I've played live for awhile and some of you seem to know it pretty well. I capo on the second fret and play in C position which makes the song in the key of D but for simplicity I'll tell you the chords in C.

....I'm gonna be honest with you guys, I'm listening to another song in the studio right now and trying to sing "Faithful" in my head so I may have messed up quite a bit. But what can you do. Let me know if I've made any major mistakes and I'll fix 'em. Enjoy, learn, and play at every bar and coffee house around!!

speaking of guitar chords.....has anyone else tried to play his you'll ask for me tutorial? I tuned my guitar to key of F....so that isn't the problem, but I'm having a problem getting it to sound like the song. I even let someone else try to play it on my guitar that was a little better on guitar than me....and it still didn't sound right for them. Anyone else had any more luck? haha

I alway's love reading this blogs.
