Guitar question- Say Goodbye
Has anybody figured out the chords yet for Say Goodbye (or anything remotely guitar like with it)? I played around with it for a brief period of time last night, and I think it starts with alternating C and C7 chords, but I'm not sure... also, I have a hunch that he might be using something of a different tuning; maybe drop-d or dadgbd tuning? Anyone have any ideas??
I hope you all can help, because I'd really like to play this song. Thanks all, Adam R. PS: I think it would be cool if all of us Fleetwood Mac guitar players were to start a web page that we all do together of guitar tabs and chords, etc., as a big reference guide. What do you all think? AR |

Acoustic Guitar October issue...
Q: "Say Goodbye" connects a strong guitar piece with a great song. A: Yeah, it's Charles Aznavour meets Leo Kottke. That is a song about Stevie, and it reflects just what I was talking about. The lyric came first, which is unusual for me. I tried to do that song for a number of years and couldn't quite figure out how to do it. After a couple of failed attempts, I came up with a weird tuning where I was dropping the G string down a step so that it became a seventh, and it got me to a place where I could play all these figures fairly easily. It was not an easy thing to work out. |

I agree we should start a web page.

I have the original version pretty much worked out. i.e. I play the actual fingerpicked notes that Lindsey plays...and I have no idea what chords some of the phrases represent but I guess I could figure the names out if I use one of my chord books (one of the disadvantages of not ever having a single music lesson!). I was slightly shocked when I read that he was dropping the G down a step to "make the song work" because I'm playing the same notes as him using simple drop-D tuning. Having said that, I'm doing some pretty tough stretches at some points during the song so I guess he's found an easier way to play it (I should've payed more attention during the concert!lol! Still got 5 more chances though!). To play along to the verses (or "intro".) of the original version, use Drop-D tuning and fingerpick these chords to the same rhythm, speed and sequence that LB does: D x A 0 D 2 G 2 B 1 E x D 0 A x D 4 G 2 B 1 E x D 5 A x D 0 G 0 B 0 E x Like I said, in light of the info. re: LB using that weird "G dropped down a step" tuning, this obviously cannot be the same way he personally plays it, but unless I've become horribly tonedeaf, the notes are the same. As for a website, yea, I thought about that ages ago and it would be an awesome thing if it actually happened, but the main problem is actually getting all the songs into tab form. I can play every song on the SYW album and I'd be more than happy to help out anyone if they're stuck on a particular part, but I know I'm too lazy (and really do not have the time) to sit down and work out and type up the tabs for each and every song! Maybe I could act as one of the "consultants" for the site,lol! |
