  1. I only do PC.  I tried generating a Mac psarc once and since I don't have a Mac I couldn't verify that it worked.  It didn't work 3 times and it took a week or 2 between each posting for someone to tell me that.  Never again.

  2. I just found this site:

    http://musicnoteslib.com/search.html?text=SUPREMES

     

    It has scores (as in standard notation) for a bunch of Motown songs, including some on your list.  The scores often show bass, horns and piano too.You want the "piano" arrangement in the list, since the chord and tab arrangements will be the worthless tabs you can find anywhere on the internet.

     

    From what little I've seen, it looks like the role of guitar in this type of music is mostly accenting beats 2 & 4, similar to ska or bluegrass mandolin.  That might be ok though since the piano and horn parts are there and you can probably adapt either of those for guitar and end up with something fun to play.

  3. Not necessarily Motown, but I'd love to see:

     

    The Foundations - Build Me Up Butercup (can find tabs for this anywhere)

    Boz Scaggs - Lido Shuffle (I'll probably do this if someone else doesn't do it first)

  4. I went to a dadaist art exhibit that one of my college professers had some work in years ago and that is the exact point in my life that I realized I don't understand art and have no desire to.

     

    One piece was a urinal mounted 10 feet up a wall.

    Another was a stool with a vibrating dildo sticking up from the seat.

    The rhythm guitar is playing standard E, A and B7 chords in 3/4 time, but you hit the bass strings on the 1 and the rest of the chord on 2 & 3.  It's pretty simple.

    I also threw in the first few measures of the lap steel on the lead track but that's it so far.  I'm going to have to figure it out by ear and that's not something I have much practice with.

  6. I haven't had much free time for making customs lately but I'm going to try to get Hank Williams done.  I think I'm going to combine the lap steel solo, fiddle solo and electric guitar fills into one lead track so they'll be more fun to play.

     

    @@Bornwild I'll get a progress psarc together with the rhythm track for you to test if you'd like. 

  7. If you have a tab or any information at all on what the guitar is doing I can try to help you out.  The guitar is buried in the mix a bit on this song but I can hear it hitting chords on 2 & 4 in some parts and strumming in other parts.

     

    What other songs are you thinking of doing?  I love me some Motown so if I can help out I'll be happy to.

  8. Here's a few more to consider:

  9. I've been using a Dunlop Jazztone 208 lately, since I'm working on comping. The difference in tone between this and a normal pick is pretty amazing.

    Any idea if those would be good for gypsy jazz?  I'm trying to get up to speed on my la pompe, but I'm using a 000 style flattop with normal strings, so I figured I'd at least try to get the pick right.  Don't want to spend $15 on the wegen pick they all seem to use though.

    Open G Tuning (0 5 7 5 3 4) is the oldest known tuning used in published music in America.  This tuning was clearly Buddy Holly's favorite ("Not Fade Away" and "Words of Love").

     

     

    Wait...what?  I did Not Fade Away in E standard.  Now I'm going to have to try it in open G.

  11.  

    Am i too blind to see? Is there any possibility to download the tab?If not, i'll prefer ultimate-guitar.com. If you find a Guitar Pro tab, you just have to scroll down to find a donwload link.

     

     

    You have to register at the site (for free).  Find the tab you want and click the "submit new revision" button.  The current tab should pop up and you can download it.

  12. That's an octave - it's not really a chord because they're both the same note (D) just an octave apart.

     

    I fret the 5 with my index finger, which also lightly touches and mutes the low E string.  The ring finger frets the 7 and mutes the D string.  They both kind of lay across the rest of the strings so they don't ring out.

     

    One variation in Rocksmith I've seen is in the opening riff of High and Dry by Radiohead that has octaves with the top strings ringing out.
