Chick Flick Soundtrack Music
This tuned is heard behind the part where the happy couple has overcome that "first date awkwardness" and are playing frisbee with a Chocolate Lab on the beach at sunset. As he throws the frisbee he stumbles on a chunk of driftwood and lands on his keister. She then puts her hands on her hips, tilts her head to the left and give him an empathetic smile. |

Location: Flushing, MI | That was cool, but there's a whole slew of newfangled acoustic players doing all this fancy schmancy tapping, capo-ing, box beating, etc. etc. It's very impressive, but it doesn't say a whole lot about musical knowledge. Now, if one of them players could turn around and play a convincing "Misty" like that, and follow it up with an equally convincing "Johnny B. Goode", THEN I would be impressed!
Except Kaki King - she is GREAT! |

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | I don't get it. If that was a genuine capo at the higher position, how it is that fingering on one side will lead to different tones on the other? I'm no engineer, but the principle isn't immediately obvious to me. Maybe the second capo is only a partial. I need to try this at home and see if and how it works. |
