Weezer - Buddy Holly

[thepurpleblob]

Been asked to learn this.... struggling to get it to sound anything like (embarrassing for what I expected to be a five minute song to learn)... anybody play this? Is it in some weird tuning or something?

Help appreciated

Oh... and Are You Gonna Be My Girl is bloody difficult too, but that's more because my fingers won't go in the right places at the right time

Oh stuff it.... blow the dust off the 5 string

We play it, the recording's in E flat but we play it in E. Ace song to play!

I found a live version in which the bass is both different and (oddly) better recorded. Problem solved

Re- We play Are You Gonna Be My Girl. Once you've got your fingers around it, its fine....just don't cock up the intro!!

Yeh - it's one of those keep at it until you get it or your fingers bleed - whichever happens first
