Don't wanna knock ya Damien, but if youre gonna teach music you need to develop your aural skills. No good looking for an easy way with someones elses chord charts (because they will be probably incorrect). All the music teachers I have ever met know what the chord is by listening with their lugoles.

All the music teachers I have ever met know what the chord is by listening with their lugoles. Aural skills are definitely very important. But I would argue that to write "tadpoles on lines" is a useful skill as well. In this day and age with recording equipment it is a lot easier for musicians to put down their musical thoughts directly onto disc and listen back to the results. In the past, if anyone wanted to do anything more complex than a one line jig they would have to resort to written music so that their fellow musicians could play their ideas. I'm all for people jamming out ideas but let's not limit ourselves to that alone. Written structure also has it's plus points.  |

hi erphead and kirk ,
in my opinion you both have valid points , like the ears and tail of an elephant !
i still haven't found those chord charts , you might be amused at what i have resorted to :
i have taken a james bond song book and im taking the chords out of it changing the keys playing with the inversions , sometimes it works sometimes not so well ...
but its a bit lonley to be honest !

Yes you are right there Damien !!
But the caveat is that it's no good having charts or written music if they are not correct, and I have to say that I have looked at many transcriptions, notations, and tablature of tracks that I like from Hendrix to Gov't Mule and very rarely are they ever accurate, (in fact the official Hendrix transcriptions are way off).
I'm not sure that Ozrics music could ever be written down all that accurately anyway, very little of it follows traditional structure so cannot be abbreviated and condensed and most of the harmony is modal and may or may not correspond with whatever key the transcriber thinks the music is in. And is if that weren't enough to contend with, how the hell do you score
the wibbly wobbly bits?
Good luck with your quest Damien !

thank you , they are good points you have raised , reading music helps stimulate my visual memory .
it has been said that visual memory retains more than auditry memory , a picture says 1000 words and so forth .
i have seen hendrix solo transcription and they are so complicated but then it has also been said that jimi hendrix had begun or actually had transcribed some of his song "burning of the midlight lamp" as he wanted it played by a string section .
a good tip is to be able to exctract stuff from transcriptions it may just some notes or rhythms , i wouldnt give up on them , but thats just my advice .
by the way have you realised your quest kirk ?
i would be interested to know about it .

Ha Ha ! One of My quests was to have a copy of everything that either Ed, Joie or Merv (or Gavin for that matter) produce. I am mournfully aware that I am a long long way from this, (having seen Mr Wibrews collection firsthand).
The other one is pretty much the same as yours, to continue to develop my guitar playing skills. I have been practising for 15 years and am getting better but will never be able to play
like Ed or Satriani, however thats not what I want to do anyway (anymore !).
I would be quite happy playing Jazz blues jam band stuff well enough. I can definately play better lead than some guitarists out there (Hello Mr Brock !)

what makes you different from ed or satriani ?
why can't you play like them ?
In regards to your 1st quest it looks like you will have to make a song so mindblowing that mr wilbrew will part with his collection for you !
either that or cultivate a beautiful garden for him ?!
i post quite a lot at ultimate guitar forum , maybe see you there too ?

Ha Ha, a distinct lack of raw musical talent would be the answer to your first question Damien.
It also serves as the second answer !
Some people are born with it and others aren't.
Ed's Muse whispers continually in his ear driving him along to create.
My Muse says "where's that last piece of chocolate cake, oh no !, I've already eaten it" or "Why can't I play this stood up if I can play it sat down"

I'd love to see more ozrics tabs, more than just one riff. Its true you couldnt write whole ozrics song on normal sheet of music but the guitar you could (in most cases) The cool thing in Eds guitar is that its not just repeating a riff but the riff is often slighlty different, that makes it very hard to learn as whole, atleast for a lazy person like me hehe.

ozrique ill see what i can do (im working on classical guitar/heavy metal version of the eternal wheel keyboard intro )my advice is you can take the riff and make it slightly different in your own ways.
kirk my advice is not to compare your muse to anyone else's .
play from a simple and sincere space and all falls into place .

Cool Damien ! i,v learned to play some cool ozrics riffs, like the one from Vibuthi from your tabs. Sure you can jam own stuff on top of the tracks but I myself, when playing on top of cd love to learn the whole song as its played (perfectionist mofo) Like when i play Metallica and Pantera etc.
