  • Have never really strummed without a pick and was trying to figure out how to transition from fingerpicking to the strumming with a pick but looks like you're not using a pick?

  • You got a fast car
    And I want a ticket to anywhere
    Maybe we make a deal
    Maybe together we can get somewhere
    Any place is better
    Startin' from zero, got nothin' to lose
    Maybe we'll make something
    Me, myself, I got nothin' to prove
    You got a fast car
    And I got a plan to get us out of here
    Been working at the convenience store
    Managed to save just a little bit of money
    Won't have to drive too far
    Just across the border and into the city
    And you and I can both get jobs
    Finally see what it means to be living
    See, my old man's got a problem
    He live with the bottle, that's the way it is
    He said his body's too old for workin'
    His body's too young to look like his
    So mama went off and left him
    She wanted more from life than he could give
    I said, somebody's got to take care of him
    So I quit school and that's what I did
    You got a fast car
    Is it fast enough so we can fly away?
    Still gotta make a decision
    Leave tonight or live and die this way
    So I remember when we were driving, driving in your car
    Speed so fast, I felt like I was drunk
    City lights lay out before us
    And your arm felt nice wrapped around my shoulder
    And I-I, had a feeling that I belonged
    I-I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone
    You got a fast car
    We go cruisin' to entertain ourselves
    You still ain't got a job
    So I work in the market as a checkout girl
    I know things will get better
    You'll find work and I'll get promoted
    And we'll move out of the shelter
    Buy a bigger house, live in the suburbs
    So I remember when we were driving, driving in your car
    Speed so fast, I felt like I was drunk
    City lights lay out before us
    And your arm felt nice wrapped around my shoulder
    And I-I, had a feeling that I belonged
    I-I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone
    You got a fast car
    I got a job that pays all our bills
    You stay out drinking late at the bar
    See more of your friends than you do your kids
    I'd always hoped for better
    Thought maybe together you and me'd find it
    I got no plans, I ain't going nowhere
    Take your fast car and keep on driving
    So I remember when we were driving, driving in your car
    Speed so fast, I felt like I was drunk
    City lights lay out before us
    And your arm felt nice wrapped around my shoulder
    And I-I, had a feeling that I belonged
    I-I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone
    You got a fast car
    Is it fast enough so we can fly away?
    Still gotta make a decision
    Leave tonight or live and die this way

  • I've been teaching people playing guitar while singing. Not that easy but indeed perfectly doable, even for a beginner. Well, maybe not this one due to difficulty of picking specific strings when you start playing guitar.
    Anyways, except for the learning of the text which is in itself a little challenge, we share the same part by part methodology: simple, straight to the point and above true to the original song. Meaning from the first bar to the last bar as it has been written by the composer.
    For the lyrics, I recommend to learn it with the real rythm, first no singing just talking.
    To help memorizing it all, my method is to be able to remember the first 2 or 3 words of each verse and to be able to visualise it in your head or to say it, to make sure you got it.
    At the end you only need the guitar, the capo and the voice, no paper, or just with the first word of each part written down. That way, you can put several songs on a single sheet of paper.

    For this song you save me a precious time. The chorus is beautiful, the way it starts is powerful as a twelve-troke engine. Thank you.
