DangerousCurves Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Anybody else have that one song (or two songs) that you just CAN'T get? You love it, you want to perform it so badly but you just can't quite get to the place that you feel does it justice? Maybe it's just because I'm a perfectionist. There are two songs that I flat out have refused to do, not because I don't love them, they are two of my favorites. Because I just feel like I can't get them to the level they need to be. My two are Crazy On You (Heart) and Cry Baby (Janis Joplin). Just curious if anyone else has that "Holy Grail", be it a guitar solo, vocal part, whatever.

Snake-Pit Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 (edited) I never get that, haven't had that yet.My CURRENT project in terms of getting a song right for guitar/me sees me going up, up, high up to the 22nd fret on the high E and B strings tuned down half a step to Eb making it Eb & A#;which is good because it allows the strings not to snap.It's an oldie that had a come back in the UK in the 1990s when it was used on a television show and; that's where I know it from. I suspect a mandolin or violin, either way I'm liking what I get when I'm transferring this to guitar (a lot of bends on those high frets as a result).

DangerousCurves Posted February 23, 2014 Author Share Posted February 23, 2014 This is the version I just can't get right. Original COY I can do...but I just can't trill in full chest voice like she can on this version. Have a listen. And of course, this, I can do up until the sort of sing-song, drunk sounding rambling in the middle: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robin2002 Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 'Little Wing' by Jimi Hendrix - I can play the majority of it, but I don't think I'll ever play it to a level I'm 100% happy with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
