1. Totally stumped

Your "not vocal melodies" are killing me.

Tried it with high notes and low notes and not a single light went off in my head.

[Floogeldy]

2. No hurry.

This is child's play for a guitarist.

[Seabiscuit]

3. So that's it! I'm not a guitarist!

[Seabiscuit]

4. I don't have any more time tonight. I'll give others a chance to try.

Gotta put my baby (& wife) to sleep. :)

I'll bump the thread tomorrow, even if I don't figure it out, which I probably won't. It sounded like so many things and so many nothings all at once my head's spinning. :silly:

[Floogeldy]

5. Kewl. G'night, SB.

[vajraroshana]

6. Which century are you expecting us to start looking at....

or wait, this is one song?

wait a minute again....I'm looking.....

G B ? for real? I'm going to get my guitar......okay that'll work as long as you're not too attached to traditional progressions...

okay, I'm stumped....

[Floogeldy]

7. kick

[Floogeldy]

8. Any more musicians on board at this hour?

[RandomKoolzip]

9. All majors?

If you're gonna have an F and an A, one of those has to be a minor, cuz it'd sound weird.

[Floogeldy]

10. These are simply notes . . .

. . . not chords.

The notes produce a very well known guitar riff.

11. Easy one--Blue Oyster Cult Don't Fear the Reaper (nt)

[Floogeldy]

12. DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA!!!! CONGRATULATIONS, JPGRAY!

WE HAVE A WINNER! VERY WELL DONE!!!!

You wanna do the next one? That would be great. Let me know.

Floog

[Seabiscuit]

13. Congrats, JPGray!

I'm glad you figured it out, because I gave up. I never would have guessed it anyway - not familiar with the song.

15. Teaching guitar this tune is a popular request

:dunce:

And when I see a triad set up "root 5th root" I think arpeggio due to my guitar-centric musical thinking. So it's probably just a guitarist thing.

[Seabiscuit]

17. Well, no wonder. I'm no guitarist.

Is Floog trying to tempt me to do one that's "just a harpsichordist thing"? :0)~

[jpgray]

14. If I think of something I will

I think it would be kind of hard to pick something that isn't immediately obvious and yet people would be able to eventually guess.

[Floogeldy]

16. Okay. I'll do the next one.

If you think of one you want to do, just do it.
