Wordpress ahoy!

I was up late pondering last night, as I sometimes do. I was just thinking about how much more awesome Wordpress is apposed to Blogger. For one I can upload mp3s & videos and whatnot. So I've decided to abandon Blogger and migrate to a more respectable and nifty-er personal webspace, before I dig too deep into the tubes. So all ... 4.. of you.. be advised and look out for the link whenever I decide to make a profile there.
Thanks,
Tyler

New accordion

I've taken an interest in the French music of North America recently...

I am the owner of a new Hohner Ariette 10 button diatonic (or Cajun) accordion.

Push / Pull
1 E - G
2 G - B
3 C - D
4 E - F
5 G - A
6 C - B
7 E - D
8 G - F
9 C - A
10 E - B

It's impossible to make full chords, but there are implied partial chords/blends

Push:
C can be any combination of buttons because C(1st) E(3rd) and G(5th) are everywhere (A is in the Pull)
4+5, 3+4, and 6+7 are most common C chords.

Pull:
G chord (G is the 1 button)
(1+)6+7 or 7+10

D or Am 5+7 or 7+9

F 4+5, 7+8, or 8+9

pulled these off a youtube video... just basic stuff for reference for now.

Norwegian Wood

wanted to learn this for banjo so I could play along with a friend who can play it quite well on guitar.. I think this would be doing the sitar part in the original...

tried to convert this from a bluegrass tab I found...
sounds right to me! This will be awesome next time I jam with him.

It's got to be a Chocolate Jesus...

I saw today's Daily Frail on Tangier Sound showing the minor chord form and how you can keep that form and make every minor chord by just moving it down the neck.. Really cool!

I tried to show this tab in a comment, but it got all jumbled. So hopefully that doesn't happen here.

Take a whiff on me

an easy, kinda bluesy song.




Take A Whiff On Me

words and music by Huddie Ledbetter

(note: the OCMS cover I was thinking of was "Cocaine blues" on Big Iron World ... it has the same chorus...)

G (0000)
C (2012)
D7(0210)

Chorus:

Take a [G] whiff, take a whiff, take a whiff on me,
[C] Ev'rybody take a whiff on me,
[D7] Hey, hey, baby take a whiff on [G] me.

Verses:

[G] I got a woman six feet tall,
[C] Sleepin' in the kitchen with her feet in the hall,
[D7] Hey, hey, baby take a whiff on [G] me.

Two old maids a-fishin' in the creek,
They ain't caught a man since a-way last week,
Hey, hey, baby take a whiff on me.

Want to get a woman let me tell you a word,
Grease your hair down as slick as lard, ...
Hey, hey, baby take a whiff on me.

I'm a-walkin' down the road with my hat in my hand,
lookin' for a woman who needs a worried man,
Hey, hey, baby take a whiff on me.

walkin' down the road, the road is mighty muddy,
Slippin' and slidin' and I can't stand steady,
Hey, hey, baby take a whiff on me.

I know my woman ain't a-treatin' me right,
She don't get home til the day gets light
Hey, hey, baby take a whiff on me.

Meet a lot of women out a-ramblin' around,
But the Boston women are the best that I found,
Hey, hey, baby take a whiff on me.

Sing your song all night long,
Sing to my woman from midnight on,
Hey, hey, baby take a whiff on me.
