Location: Illinois | I've earlier posted here looking for music or TAB for a song I need for my folk's Golden Anniversary. Having exhausted all means to come up with sheet music for 'If I Had To Do It All Over Again, I'd Do It With You" I have determined this music is unobtainable. I even went so far as to contact Roy Clark's publisher and Roy Clark, Ltd. in Oklahoma. No dice. Therefore I am in the process of reverse engineering the song. You might say reverse composing or De-composing... ;)
Anyways, I have determined it to be written in the key of E Major. I'm not real versed in chord theory and am doing this BGnBG (By Guess 'n By Golly) Two chords I've been able to match to the recording is E Major (naturally) and A Major. I'm having trouble deciphering the others. What other chords work in an E Major song? |

Location: Boise, Idaho | I got a music theory book for Christmas last year. I got to about the second page. My method of learning a song may only work for me, but I can hear the base run and can sing it. I then translate that to the guitar and generally can pick up the barre chords from that. Travis picking or other finger style methods usually require me to do the same translation for the melody line.
In other words, I can't explain it. |

One question. How do you fret those little 'B's? Does that indicate a 'blue note'? :rolleyes: |

Here's a trivia question for when things get quiet around here. Name all Buggs's nemesises
Elmer Fudd
Yosemite Sam and his various iterations in different dress, but 'Sam' none the less. I think I remember a 'Chillicote' Sam, and an ep where he wore a British red coat ala Revalutionary War too.
