Chorus Question

[strumminsix]

I was watching the Bozo show 72 DVD and in the first 2 lines of the chorus it appears Bobby plays:

Code: Select all

A                                        A   G   F#m  A
Sometimes the light's all shinin' on me;
A                 D      A     G    F#m    A
Other times I can barely see.


Thoughts? Anyone? Bueller?

I may be way off, but as I play it by myself acoustic, I through a run in there somethin' like that. But seriously I hear things wrong all the time and I haven't watched closely on any videos of Bob W. So I dunno?

However I have been playin' with truckin and found your post as I wandered around RuKind today.

Code: Select all

A                                        A   G   F#m  A
Sometimes the light's all shinin' on me;
A                 D      A     G    F#m    A
Other times I can barely see.

After the shining on me, Sumpthing like this, I really dont know how to use the tab creator, but I play a bit of a rake over the open A chord whilst i do the run.

Code: Select all

My question concerns the next part what are ya hearing here

Code: Select all

D           B         F#           F#sus4   F#
Lately it occurres to me
       Amaj7                   E
What a long, strange trip it's been.

Are ya hearing the B, sometimes I think I hear a Bm. And the F#sus4, I bounce back to the B or Bm as I feel the need, but the sus4 works as well.

Just a wondering what some of ya are playin?. I play mostly solo acoustic on GD stuff FWIW

[Billbbill]

Looks to me that at that point he's playing the bottom end exclusively on the E and A strings, at least over the F#m/D part. Maybe it's F# no 3rd?


----A--G--F#no3rd-A
A|--7--5--4-----4>7--------
E|--5--3--2--0--2>5--------

You can kinda see his index finger come off the fretboard for the open E.

I didn't listen to it with your question in mind but now that I play around with it it sounds to me like it's

D-F#sus4-F#---F#sus4-F#--A--E

B, Bm, F#sus4 all seem to fit. Maybe the Bm best of all. And that Amaj7 doesn't sound right to me. At all.

And that Amaj7 doesn't sound right to me. At all.

I am thinking that too. I have been using the A with an occasional A7th accent pull-off. I dunno. the Amaj7 sounds soft to me.

Edit: I have been playin with the tab creator
not exact but,

I broke out the electric today for some jammin, and that way sounds great, I like it! THanks
