Think About It

1st thought - Sweet! And certainly not too pricey, either!

2nd thought - How do you misspell, "Rhymenoceros? with an "F"?

That is pretty cheap for a songbook. I'll go down to Guitar Center to see if they have it before I order online. I've been needing a book, because my printouts can get pretty unorganized.

F and R are very close on the keyboard. Or maybe it's a regional dialect.

I would like to have an indepth conversation about how to play their songs, if anyone's interested.

I should clarify - by "indepth" I mean, YOU are indepth, *I* am clueless. OK, not that bad but I just have trouble with their songs, for some reason. Like Bret U Got It... why is it all bar chords? I stink at bar chords, and it looks like he's only picking 2 strings anyway, so what's with all the freaking bar chords?? (Sorry, I have issues with bar chords.)

And I STILL can't get the bass run right on If You're Into It. I can strum it fine, I mean heck it's only 2 chords, but that thumb bass line just won't fall into place for me.

*sigh* I should buy the book I guess.

If you want to discuss how to play them it might be best to start a new thread for each song or else discuss it in the already active threads with the tabs/lyrics. That way each song will be findable more easily.

If new topics are started and it would work better if they were in already active threads I can always merge them.

Sorry, Sherry!

Nothing to be sorry about. I wasn't cross about anything or saying you could not talk about it. I was merely making suggestions for the best place to discuss that sort of thing. I just thought active threads with tabs/lyrics in might be more logical than a new thread for each thing or one super thread where you talk about various songs.

I guess it depends how much convo there is and how many songs you get in to.

See how it goes

Darn books puttin' me outa business. : (

und mockingbird, I shall elsewhere present you unbarred Bret You Got it Goin' On chords, for the most part anyways

Ah you'll always be handy Plus there is the 2nd season and all their other songs!

Thanks, Fool! (I mean that nicer than it sounds)

*sigh* Always guitar... why no ukulele?

mockingbird - I have the SAME issue with If You're Into It. It just never sounds quite right

*sigh* willyoupleaseletmearrangeBretYouGotItGoingOnforukulele?

P.S. I'm going to do these in this thread then move them to their appropriate locations laterly. because I'm a rebel.

Nonbarredguitar chords to be used -

Bb - XX0331 (XX3331)
C(7)- X32010 (X32310)

Dm_____________A
Hey there Bret, I see you looking down.
______Bb______________________C__________A
Don't want to see my little buddy there with a frown.
Dm____________________A______________________Bb______________C_________________A
Just because I get more women than you, well that's only because they don't know you like I do.
Dm___________________A
Sure, you're weedy and kind of shy.
__________Bb________________________C__________A
But some girlie out there must be needy for a weedy, shy guy.
Dm_________________________A
They want you as the needle when they're rolling in the hay.
Bb_____________________C
Just hear me out when I say...
Dm____________A______F_____G
Bret, you got it going on.
____Gm________________________Am7_____________C7______________Dm7___(F)
The ladies will get to know your sexuality when they get to know your personality.

The rest follows the same patterns. There are a couple o' key changes(up a half step for the second chorus, up another half step after it), but they really can't be tackled without barring some chords
