Learning to play guitar? Here's an easy and fun song to try. The only part that might take a little time is getting the clean tone finger picking parts down. Other than that, it's power chords all the way. I think Tarek Jafar plays this purely on the neck pickup to get that awesome Blue Stones tone, but I used the bridge pickup and custom settings on my amp to dial it in.
Tuning is E Standard.

The Blue Stones, Black Holes (Solid Ground)
Lyrics:
Broken down so I walk the line
I drown wounds and in iodine
I'm out of money, I'm out of time
I fly low like a broken arrow
Time slows and my vision narrows
I'm out of money, I'm out of time
Sing your hearts out, sing it loud
Make me happy, make me proud
Black holes, solid ground
Black holes, solid ground
A thousand voices set 'em free
Because this silence is killing me
I'm still alive beneath the rubble
A wretched soul in a sea of trouble
I'm all alone
I'm all alone
Start the fire, set it off
Our good intentions are wearing out
All alone
I'm all alone, yeah
Sing your hearts out, sing it loud
Make me happy, make me proud
Black holes, solid ground
Black holes, solid ground
Thousand voices set 'em free
Because this silence is killing me
I'm fighting the fever again
I'm fighting the fever
Sing your hearts out, sing it loud
Make me happy, make me proud
Black holes, solid ground
Black holes, solid ground
Thousand voices set 'em free
Because this silence is killing me
About me:
I discovered the joy of playing music starting with the drums, followed by guitar and bass. I mostly enjoy performing live. I enjoy all kinds of music, but mostly play grunge, alternative rock, and rock. I started recording covers as a way to improve my own playing, and to share my growth as a musician with the world. Thanks for watching my videos.
