I think Carbon Leaf may well have secured a place now as my official third favorite band. I just was moved to go find the tabs for "Raise the Roof", to see if I could figure out how to play it. From this I have learned that "Raise the Roof" is in the key of D--no wonder I can sing it. ;) (Mostly. I can't quite manage to hit that lowest note when the verse goes down to "I need proof". Foo. I have to take it up a couple of keys to actually be able to hit all the notes.)

Simple chord writeup, though. All D, G, and A. I'm not convinced that that's all that's in there, though--my ear kept wanting to put in some Asus4 and Dsus4 as transition chords. I need to listen a little harder and figure out if those chords are actually in there.

It sounds like it'll be a pretty easy song for me to try to figure out how to sing while I'm playing, though. Whoot!

Stupid artistic impulses! ;) I'll at least have it SLIGHTLY better as a writer, since I'll be able to still point at certain fantasy writers and say, "I try to write like them!"

As for my own musicality, I don't play often enough to sound like anybody except whoever's songs I'm trying to play at the time! (Though what with playing with Meg Davis' "Elf Glade" this afternoon, I seem to have something new getting into my guitar rhythm line, and damned if I know what it is. Little extra twiddles on the strums. Going to have to see if this keeps up. Whoot!

Also, after playing off and on for several hours today when I should damn well be writing, my hand hurts. I think my muse is trying to tell me something. ;) )
