Been figuring out a few of the songs on Matt Nathanson’s latest album, Modern Love. My 5-year-old daughter turns out to be a big fan of singing some of the songs and dad kind of digs ‘em too. This one’s the tab for Kiss Quick.

I’ve updated the tabs below a couple of times now as it’s become a bit of a group project with a couple of folks over at prettytheworld.com. Some of which have worked hard at getting this song figured out and a new video has shown up that really helps in confirming things. Anyway, here’s my latest version which builds on mannion14′s off PTW. Read more →

I’m digging Flyleaf’s new album ‘Remember To Live‘ quite a bit. I ended up wanting to figure out the chords to the first song off the album called ‘Justice & Mercy (Violent Love Version)’. I’m pretty sure it’s mostly right; what I’m not at all sure of are the chord names I came up with. If real music folks out there can correct what I came up with, I’d really appreciate it if you leave a comment or drop me a note. Read more →

Took a quick break from work and decided to figure out another one of my favorite Frames songs on the guitar. I also attempted to get the lyrics down as I wasn’t able to find them anywhere on the net after a few searches. You can find the song on the Falling Slowly single from back in 2006.

Here’s another one off of The Swell Season album though a slightly different version is also on the Once Soundtrack. This is one of my favorite singer/songwriter type of songs from Glen and it’s one that he wrote together with Damien Rice. Since this is more of a strummy acoustic song, I’ve decided to just share how I think he plays it (from what I was able to see from my balcony view at the show a couple of nights ago) by listing out the chords up front and then laying them down on top of the lyrics. Anyway, hope this helps all of you old and new fans of one of my favorites.

This is the tab for the version off of the Once soundtrack album–which is significantly different from the one off the Frames’s album, Fitzcarraldo. Both are great but I definitely prefer the solo acoustic version off the soundtrack.

The Open E tuning made figuring this one out significantly harder for me (my tuning experimentation involves all of dropping down a half step and I rarely even do that) so I set off on some searches and found good starting points. Eventually, I found this great video though which turned out to pretty much dead on as far as I can tell. I still didn’t see it tabbed anywhere to this extent so I figured I’d get it down and easier to find. Also, Travestees, who made the very helpful video, has also recorded a video of himself playing the actual song which is also worth checking out.

After getting a bit of pressure via comments and emails, I finally got around to tabbing how I play the pre-chorus of Glen Hansard’s song, Falling Slowly. I’m pretty sure it’s not actually how he plays it but it should be close enough–at least it’s close enough in my book. It’s really hard for me to pick up the guitar part alone from the recordings I listened to so what I posted is as good as it’ll get from me for now. Here’s a link to the updated post. If you’ve figured out a more accurate version, please send it my way.
