Song: (Could Be) A Country Thing, City Thing, Blues Thing Performer: Richard Ashcroft Single: A Song For the Lovers Writer: Richard Ashcroft
_Notes:_ Very pretty love song from Richard's debut single. Unfortunately I've yet to acquire his album, so as of yet this is my favorite of his solo songs. The long title makes it a nightmare to archive in OLGA I'm sure...:-) It's relatively simple, and the ending reminds me of an old Verve song called "Gravity Grave", and bases itself on two repeating chords (F, Em). It's - almost - minimalist! :-)
_Effects:_ Set delay to 40 ms, sounds about right. Flanger has much the same effect, with added effect that sounds a bit like speaker phasing. Less pedal-centric than other, earlier Verve songs, and the vocal occasionally drowns out the guitar...
_Tuning:_ This song is played in standard tuning. (EADGBe).
Define chords:
Dm - XX0231 or 10,12,12,10,10,10 Em - XX2453 or 12,14,14,12,12,12 or 022000 Dm/F - 100231 F - XX3211 or 133211 or XX3565 E - 022100 or 12,14,14,13,12,12 C - X32010 or 8,10,10,9,8,8
_Rhythm:_ This song is played in 4/4 time. In the verse play two bars of each chord, and in the chorus it drops down to one bar per chord. Very simple stuff...
Intro:
G-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2
(With heavy reverb, delay or phase)
Then: Dm, Em - 2 bars each
Verse:
Dm - 2 bars (How many...) Em - 2 bars (days have I...) x4
Chorus:
F - 1 bar E - 1 bar Dm/F - 1 bar C - 1 bar a few times (depends on which verse)
Then back to verse...
End part: (Could be a country thing...) F - 1 bar E - 1 bar
repeat...until end of song, whole sequence.
