Yeah, sorry. I would like to sing it how y’all put it, but I’m not sure how @Michael_Mark did it… how I sung it was just what came to mind. I must confess I don’t completely understand all these… Kind of embarrassed about that… Gotta learn somehow I guess. What is the E position? I’m guessing the 1,4, and 5 are the order of the chords?

@Michael_Mark, maybe C would be easier for @grace to sing as it is just a 1/2 Step up from where she sang it.

well not the order the chords are played in, but that it is refering to the chords in the key of G?

E position capoed 3 would mean that you’re playing in G, but out of the position of E. So G, C, and D (1, 4, and 5 chords for the key of G) would become E, A, and B. I suggested E position because I like that particular voicing of the guitar for this song, but you can play it in whatever key you want as long as you’re playing the 1, 4, and 5 chords for that key.

G Shure would make Mando much earlier for me. I am not as talented as y’all

What if we put:
Measure 1: 1 (G Maj),
Measure 2: 6 (E min),
Measure 3: 1 (G Maj),
Measure 4: 5 (D Maj 4th) to D Maj

So long as the music has a demoted caboose, I am happy

Like I said, not sure… I think it depends on how fast we choose to sing the song, and how many times we sing the chorus, and even we can come up with words that fit… I know personally, I don’t like it when songs drag on too long. I think a chorus that puts more emphasis on the “Death has died!” would be good though.

I’ll give it a try… I learned about timing and understand the concepts, but am not good at it. I just strum whatever seems to fit how I’m singing.
