Getting it

[mdlbear]

This morning I picked up my guitar, thinking I should do a little practicing, and finally figured out that little four-beat pattern that Janis Ian uses in "The Last Train". It helps finally working out exactly what goes into a Gsus4 chord. I'm a little embarassed that it took me as long as it did to work out. Getting old and stupid, I guess.

It's actually a sequence of two-note chords, played on the G and B strings: Start with G and C (that's from the Gsus4), hammer-on from C to D. Then play G and D, and pull-off back to the C.

And did I mention that ThinkGeek is evil? They're evil. I put in an order yesterday, and we got a catalog in the mail this afternoon.

Think Geek is very evil. The catalog disappears into Moose's room when it first arrives every time. Then he checks in his allowance book... Luckily, he is saving for a Nintendo Wii right now, and that is keeping his toy buying down a bit.
