MacFriend · 02-10-2005, 08:22 PM

help a poor poor newcomer.........

im trying to play tongue the damo way but all i have to work on is a dodgy live recording....anyone in the big world know it well enough??(he does Eminor really high up or something after the verse i thinks)

thank you all!![img]smileys/smiley5.gif[/img]

heya sorry i dont know how to play tongue but welcome anyways! [img]smileys/smiley4.gif[/img]

could you try and get a tab for the Bell x1 version and work from there?

MacFriend · 02-10-2005, 08:45 PM

ya i tried that too and damos one is kinda different....savage song though

*Killian* · 02-10-2005, 08:47 PM

iv never heard damo's version, just the bell x1 version and the juniper one

MacFriend · 02-10-2005, 08:58 PM

well if anyone wants to have a go i think its

Em Am verse

then C up 2 frets for ''ive got a nervous feeling'' then back to Am

then chorus of C, C up 2 frets, G repeat.... but its not right

yes, MacFriend's way for playing the verses is also mine. it sounds right to me.

i've always wondered what the correct intro is..i can play the verse and the chorus perfectly, but i can't get the intro perfectly. the sliding part..

he played it in vicar street... cant remember which one... might have been december?

I think the best version of it is the acoustic one he played on Easterin Pittsburgh (Byham theatre). Of course I may be slightly biased cause I was at that stunning show with my pal who taped it.The show'savailable for bit torrentingonline ondamohub.org and damienricetrading.tk (see the trade digitally section).

I got it from my bro he has like a 25 track cd of damien live in L.A. its really really cool...except some stupid american keeps tapping out of beat for the blowers daughter... it was weird though i never knew tongue was around when he was in juniper... supposedly they split cause he wanted eskimo to be one of their first singles and they said no?????

Stu08 · 03-02-2005, 11:18 PM
