TARGET Members will have any Charts, TAB, and Guitar Pro Files
An obscure English blues rock band, the Jaybirds included members who, in 1966 renamed themselves Ten Years After, in honor of front man, Alvin Lee’s idol, Elvis Presley, who had his breakout year in 1956. After a few albums and moderate success in England they came to America to perform at the Newport Jazz Festival and Woodstock in 1969. Lee’s rendition of I’m Going Home in the movie launched them to stardom. The song opens with an arpeggio pattern followed by a chromatic bass run leading to the next chord, then a similar move on the next pair of chords, before landing on the dominant chord. The chord progression then picks up in intensity with a heavily accented series of the same chords.
Hi Fellow guitar slingers,
I am new to this forum but have been playing mediocre guitar for 30 years. I am now in a position to treat myself to a high end guitar, Martin, Taylor, Gibson.... I have the notion that I would most enjoy an acoustic electric with modern electronics, but am also interested in an aged guitar. Seems I can only go back five or so years with Martin and Taylor and still find the better electronics. So, a couple of questions - what do you all have to say about the newer electronics on acoustics. Are they as desirable as I am thinking? Can on purchase after market electronics of the same quality and have them installed in older acoustics with the same effect? Love to hear your thoughts. Thanks Mike
