Thread Name: Chord Req: Across the Great Divide (Joe Cocker)
Subject: RE: Chord Req: Across the Great Divide, J. Cocker
Thank you, Peace, although that sounds like I'll have a lot of trouble mastering it at all. However, I've a friend who may be able to help me, as he's been introducing me to less standard chording possibilities when he rarely visits. Good buddy, drinks a bit, but even reeling can play guitar, mandolin or fiddle beautifully. I always learn something from him, even if I have to penetrate the beer haze. I would really like to play the song. I'm finding my more sober musician friends are deadly with any country/western song, but even a minor chord or seventh stops 'em dead. They are ACDEG players, played 'em for 25 years and mostly not interested in anything outlandish. I had trouble learning to finger Dm and one of 'em told me "You'll never need that chord anyway." So I'll be soloing 'The Wild Goose' at kitchen parties, I guess. ;-)
