2 Months

2 months since I've played guitar. 2 is a strange number. In my past relationships I've always said after feeling miserable from the break up, "in 2 weeks, I'll feel completely different." For others, its 2 years.

So today I played the only song worth playing during a break up. Rootless Tree by Damien Rice. I love this song. The first time my friend had me listen I immediately grew attached to it. I went to my dorm (this was in China) and learned the song. When I picked up my guitar again the fingers instinctively knew where to press. It was awesome.

Playing around with the chord progression and some easy picking yielded this

---------------------------------
-----3-------3-------3-------3---
-------0-------0-------0-------0-
-----------2---------------------
---2-----3---------2-------0-----
-0---------------3-------2-------

hm, sounds better capo4ed

Playing around some more I got this, which sounds a bit like No Woman No Cry by Bob Marley

-3-2-0-3---3-3-3------------------------
-3-3-0-5---3-5-3------------------------
-4-2-0-5---4-5-4------------------------
-5-4-2-5---5-5-5------------------------
-5-5-2-3---5-3-5------------------------
-3-2-0-----3---3------------------------

What is that second chord shape called? (edit: Figured out what it was called, its D/F#, you may know it by its easier chord shape 2x0232. I found it out by using this awesome tool I googled up: Reverse Chord Lookup

Keep on rocking the free world
