How to Play Death Cab

The other day, I heard I'll Follow You Into the Dark by Death Cab for Cutie on the radio. I said, "Oh well, sounds like I'll have to learn that one, too."

Then, I found it on Odeo and listened to it a bunch of times. I thought about the chord pattern and how familiar it sounded, and then the whole structure of the song just popped into my head!

So here is a video of the first and last verses, guitar only.

You know, for practice.

In case you wanted to learn it.

Pretty cool... Who doesn't love music?? Music, in part, is what got me through the great adventure of a younger me, sailing across the Atlantic Ocean... the journal of which is being blogged here www.atlantic-sailboat.blogspot.com

I thought this was going to be that "Death Cab For Cutie Or Anonymous Hipster" game that is all the rage these days.
