Members maplebbay Posted December 31, 2009 Members Posted December 31, 2009 A classic from The Police - Roxanne: a quick look at the way i play the elements of this great tune.....thanks for watcing.
Members paulinpoland Posted January 3, 2010 Members Posted January 3, 2010 Thanks for that, maplebbay! You put together an excellent instructional video for relative beginners - a good choice of song, with a useful mixed bag of chords and techniques. You could, as you moved into the chorus, segued wonderfully into something like "Anarchy in the UK" by the Sex Pistols. I would love to see you do this, if you know that song, and have the time. I think it would show the leaner that the way you use chords is just as important as the choice of chords you make. Thanks again! Time for me to get the electric out of its box!
Members maplebbay Posted January 4, 2010 Author Members Posted January 4, 2010 great post and much appreciated....thanks! i don't know the tune but will be giving it a listen, best, dale.
Members akapuli Posted January 4, 2010 Members Posted January 4, 2010 I would have played the main rhythm thing a bit differently, that's just me :-) Trick of the Roxanne: it sounds simple, but it is very hard to keep the stabs math-like and not played with a natural swing. I always enjoyed your other videos (too).
