Every Tuesday evening I nip down to a nearby village where I have a hot date. Sometimes I take my
acoustic.
And sometimes I take my
Gibson SG.
As well as setting me various homework challenges, Trev (bless him), is allowing me to bring in pieces that I fancy having a crack at.
As a massive Missy Higgins fan, it was reasonably obvious that I would take one of her pieces in.
But which one?
I like the challenge of ‘Angela’. Having the capo on the fifth fret presents me with a particular biomechanical challenge.
I’m getting the hang of ‘ordinary’ changes, but G -> C -> Am -> D -> G, with the capo in place is a bit of a challenge.
Purely a biomechanical challenge; my fingers are just unused to manoeuvring in the confined space, that having a capo on the fifth fret brings.
This live video shows that Missy Higgins occasionally has a problem or two with the progression too, so I don’t feel too bad that I’m struggling.
I do love this song. And I love Missy Higgins. I just wish the piece I’d chosen was a bit easier to play!
Keep practising mate and one day you might be as good as Zoe 🙂
What a horrid child!

ps. I edited your comment to embed the video in it, rather than have the video as a clickable outward-bound link. Hope that’s alright. Easy to change back if you don’t like it.
