I recently requested the lyrics to Queen's "Tie Your Mother Down" and received
some helpful information.  For the others that already know this..bear with us
while I go though this...

If you can ftp to another system, there is a wealth of information out there!

On ftp.nevada.edu in directory /pub/guitar you will find directories for various
artists and within each of these directories songs by those artists.  Some of the
files are just lyrics and chords and some are in "tab" format.

If you cannot find your "song" there then chances are still good that you can 
find it at cs.uwp.edu in directory /pub/music/lyrics/files...here again there are
directories for each artist.  Within the directory for each artist are files which
contain either a particular song or the file will contain the lyrics for all the
songs on an album.

This has been a great help to me (and our band)!  A lot of times if you go and buy
the cassette or CD they don't have the words AND it is sometimes very difficult to
understand what some of these singers are actually saying.  Why go to a sheet
music store anymore when you have THE NET!

      Dm      F       G        Bsomething
There is a house in New Orleans

      Dm      F       Asomething
They call the rising sun

She sewed my new blue jeans
My father was a gamblin' man
Down in New Orleans

Now the only things a gambler needs
is a suitcase and a trunk
and the only time he's feeling satisfied 
is when he's on a drunk

Now mothers 
Tell your children

Subject: Re: REQ: Some FUNK chords or progressions

Phil

There's different types of funk, I guess you're talking
about the James Brown/Parliament kind, that's R&B funk.
Most of that stuff follows the I IV V progression with
9th chords and Dominant 7th's.  Some voicings are "funkier"
than others; here's some good ones (they're moveable)

C9      x 3 2 3 3 3
C7      x 3 2 3 1 x
G7      3 x 3 4 3 x
G7      3 2 3 x 3 x

Sex Machine by James Brown is
D9 (C9 -> C#9 -> D9)  x2
G9 (F9 -> F#9 -> G9)  x2
D9 (C9 -> C#9 -> D9)  x2
A9 (G9 -> G#9 -> A9)  x1
G9 (F9 -> F#9 -> G9)  x1
D9 (C9 -> C#9 -> D9)  x2

Listen to the song for the rhythm, it follows 
the standard blues chart

Modern funk is usually I III IV, Spin Doctors
are modern funk rock.  Usually the I is played
for most of the bar, then a riff at the end of
the bar is based on the III IV.  Hendrix used it
in Purple Haze

E7#9    0 7 6 7 8 0
G7      3 5 3 4 3 3
A7      5 7 5 6 5 5

I'm not familiar w/Average White Band, but most 
of the Arsenio stuff sounds "funky" because of the
bassline and the drumbeat, not the guitar.  They
use different progressions (I III IV, II V I, I IV V)
but when the bass guitar uses lots of minor thirds
(pentatonic) with the bass drum on the off-beats,
it's funk.  It's more in the rhythm than in the chords,
but if you're playing guitar on top of a funky rhythm, use 7th
and 9th chords, they blend really well with the pentatonic
basslines.

hope this helps

Hi folks,
	A quick thought for a new thread--how about posting
any interesting riffs that you've dreamed up on your own?
	To lead off with, here's a little something that I've been
fooling about with the last couple of days. I'm rather a novice guitar
player (actually I'm more of a "one-who-plays-with-a-guitar" than a
Real Guitar Player(TM)) so I apologize for the simplicity of this
little thing.
	Timing is indicated, at least in a relative sense, by
the number of "-"'s between fret numbers. I also gave "real"
timing for the first part, but couldn't quite work out how to
give precise timing for part two (see novice status above).


Part I
------
e-------------------------------
B-------------------------------
G-------------------------------
D-------------------------------
A-------------------------------
E--0-0-3-0-0-0-5-0-0-0-3-0--5---

   1 e + a 2 e + a 3 e + a 4	<<-- Timing (something like that)
				     [fairly fast tempo]


Part II
-------
e-----------------------------------------------------------------
B-----------------------------------------------------------------
G-----------------------------------------------------------------
D-----------------------------------------------------------------
A-----3-0--3--5---3-5-3--0---0-0-3-0--5-0--7--0--3--5---3-5-3--0--
E--0--------------------------------------------------------------

(Hope I got all that right!)

I've been playing it as:

	((Part I * 3) + Part II) * N

where N is sufficient to drive your roommates to the brink of
distraction. At this point, it's generally wise to take a break.

So let's see all those other original creations! (And feel free
to correct mine, add lyrics, chords, give the original performer,
etc. :-)

BTW, I forget if it's on the ftp site or not, but I know the
"neato fingerpicking part" of Blackbird and could probably tab
it out if people were interested. (Someone requested this a while
back, so maybe it's already been done?)

Adapted from a transcription posted on rec.music.makers many moons ago

This song is in the key of B and played with a capo on the second
fret.  What you see here is written in A, so use the capo.  This song
is also in 7/4 time.  The intro is best fingerpicked; the verses are
best strummed.

The intro goes like this (>=Hammer On):

Erm sorry Frank, but it is. If you want to you can call it Bb/F or B flat
second inversion, but what the chord is doesn't actually depend on the bass
note, merely on what notes are present in the chord. Look in the Royal School
of Music's Theory workbooks (what I use to teach my (piano not guitar!) pupils
theory). I am crap at the guitar but I do know my theory!

I beleive the song was written by Crosby, Stills, and Paul Kantner
of the Jefferson Airplane. It is on one of the Airplanes albums
(Blows Against the Empire, maybe?). I don't think Joni Mitchell
or Nash had anything to do with it.

From an ARRANGEMENT standpoint, Sting's cover of "Little Wing" is absolutely
