Learning Guitar (On Easy Mode)
[iron-wine-wikipedia]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_%26_Wine Iron & Wine [Iron & Wine][iron-wine-wikipedia] has great songs, especially if you’re interested in learning on the guitar. Such Great Heights and Jezebel were the first two that I learned. They sound good with simple chord progressions and a very simple finger picking pattern. I’m adding another song from them to by Easy List.
Freedom Hangs One has a driving beat and a swing to the lyrics that makes it slightly difficult to follow. After picking it apart I find that it is really simple.
Freedom Hangs Like Heaven Tab
The notes are limited to three strings and three positions on the fingerboard and the third fret is used for a lot of hammer-on and slides that remind me of “The Amazing Second Fret” from David Hodge’s Tricks of the Trade. Trying to use theory didn’t get me far. I suspect that the song may be a F Melodic Minor (Capo on I to F#) but lets face facts. I have no idea what I’m doing.
F Melodic Minor Positions
Its easy to improvise without much practice and you aren’t stuck with that Where do I go now feeling that learning new songs often give. This Guy has it down.
Getting the lyrics and timing of them down is another story. Scatting is acceptable
