Looks like a pretty straight forward tune, maybe this will help you out:

http://www.fretplay.com/tabs/g/goo_goo_ ... -tab.shtml

They've got chords listed there. It should get you going in the right direction.


Something I wish I could play? Frank Zappa's Black Napkins. One of the great guitar instrumentals.

free bird solo, although i can probably get it with some patience and i want to start getting more efficient with more sweep picking and tapping in general, although i probably won't use it much

I had the privilage to see him just like this, except I was 6 and the concert started at 11 o'clock at night and I accidentally slept through it and I've been mad ever since.

Neon by John Mayer. That song is all over the guitar. I have practiced and practiced and practiced and I am barely getting it to start to sound like the song. Hopefully I will get it.

right on...I've been wanting to learn that too. It just takes practice...a lot of practice. I have found out that it follows a finger picking pattern with minor variations. He also mutes some of the strings he hits. I think I'm going to try and learn this song again.

It is a great song. I have been practicing it a lot. I can get through it. I just need to clean it up and get a bit more of that slap thumb on the top string.

i wish i could play classical piano in general, but especially the piano interlude in "butterflies and hurricanes" by muse.... its brilliant, all be it mostly appregrios

the actual song: http://youtube.com/watch?v=wFk386A4dRw bout 2/3 of the way through, its blatantly obvious when listening to it
live solo and a bunch of other random stuff by him on piano: http://youtube.com/watch?v=V91sQozzFgc

Another song I've always wanted to play all the way through was Classical Gas by Mason Williams. I can do about half of it...but then I just kind of gave up. Every time I see a classical guitar though I pick it up and start playing it. Usually impresses people and sounds really neat.
