Subject: Lyrics/Music to Rocks On The Road
In 'A NEW DAY' it was mention that there has been some guitar changes.
A recent picture of Ian shows him playing a Guld acoustic. After all
these years he's putting the Martin-0016NY in the closet. I wonder if
Barre has put down the Hamer?
Here is Rocks On The Road. Ian is notorious for capo on 3rd fret and
does it once more. Why the 3rd fret? Well his voice is relax in this
range. I notice on the last tour he moved Mother Goose from the 5th
fret to the 3rd. Also the flute is easier to play in the keys of C
and F.
In this song play the Cm just above the capo as if you were playing an
Am on an open guitar on frets 1 & 2. Play Bb as a G, Fm as a Dm, and
Ab as F. When playing the Cm hammer your fingers on the 3rd and 4th
strings seprately.
