It's a sin that somehow
Light is changing to shadow
And casting its shroud
Over all we have known
Unaware how the ranks have grown
Driven on by a heart of stone
We could find that we're all alone
In the dream of the proud

On the wings of the night
As the daytime is stirring
Where the speechless unite
In a silent accord
Using words you will find are strange
And mesmerised as they light the flame
Feel the new wind of change
On the wings of the night

No more turning away
From the weak and the weary
No more turning away
From the coldness inside
Just a world that we all must share
It's not enough just to stand and stare
Is it only a dream that there'll be
No more turning away?

How did you get on ??

Don't know if I ever posted it here but I have a Sqiuer '51 that I got for 100 bucks. Thing is ACE.

thanks again..........
now i can start to strum ma guitar


-----------------------------------------
i love to strum ma guitar but, ma guitar does'nt love me

I got a guitar tabs book for Dark Side of the Moon the other day, and I seem to find two major problems with it:

1. It uses weird symbols that it doesn't explain, and the ones it does are different from the ones I'm used to for that particular guitar thing. (Ex. an arching line instead of a letter h for hammer on) and

2. I have an epiphone SG, that came with this little epiphone amp, and no matter how hard I try there's no way I'm gonna get satisfactory sound/effects to make anything I play sound remotely like it does on the album.


Oh well, back to playing If and Bike.

PM me me for info on how to get the DG sound and how to play all his stuff spot on. There are many fools on you tube who think they have it sorted but they are wrong. I know. I teach guitar professionally.

How do bass guitar pickups sound with electric guitar strings?
This is really just out of curiosity that me and a friend have been wondering. Not such as taking a bass pickup and slapping it on a guitar. More like taking a guitar and adding a bass bridge, or nut made for guitar string but with only four slots like a bass, and then stringing in only four strings. I love playion guitar more, but i love bass guitar tone. Im just wondering if this could be a good idea, bad idea, or could go either way.

you are heading for disaster!

So what's the deal with pompeii? Is every song a half step up? I'm trying to play how it sounds, and that seems to be the case.

What's more likely is that when the video was recorded, mixed, or otherwise produced, it was sped up, perhaps for space issues. Just put a capo on your first fret and play along happily.
