08 Mar 04 - 04:43 PM (#1131727) Subject: RE: Rock Island Line Tabs-Leadbelly From: GUEST,Martin Gibson I agree. This is a three chord song. Pick a key you want to sing in. A simple chord book will show you the first, fourth, and fifth chords for any key. Or just learn the three chords in one key and use a capo. In music, unless you are playing very serious complicated pieces in an orchestra, a good ear will progress you further as a musician than accumulating a bunch of tabs. Listen for the changes. |
