At Quad we learnt it in Eb and played it in E.

I’ve learnt Beat It in E, based on one of the instances you can find on YouTube in standard tuning with the guitar missing. 

Please don’t confuse me now!

Just nudge it down a fret @peteri ;;


We did originally say that all keys and all versions of the each song were as the Spotify playlist - that way everyone learns the same song with the same intro/verse/chorus/solo/outro pattern, and not the 19 minute extended live version, or the re-released version with  the extra  solo, or the   (etc).

Right here.   

I'll stick it on you next Saturday.

slacker

Can I have the I learnt call me the breeze in 3 keys cos I couldn't use spotify badge?

peteri

In the other thread I thought we had agreed Beat It in E?

slacker

I might be confusing people. We usually play it in standard tuning which is E.

Not least because you don't appear to be actually playing on it this time ...

Can those playing it  decide which key to play in?  
@Brocco ;
@peteri ;
@darthed1981 ;
@Guitar_Slinger ;

(I doubt the drummer will be too fussed).

peteri

Thanks Tony - early vote for E!

If we decide Eb I think I’ll go through the pain of downtuning a Floyd and avoid the moving the fingers bit!

Alnico

While we're talking about sticking to Spotify versions etc, I'll just reiterate that I've only changed the very last section of Comfy to accommodate the 'Fade out' on the studio version.

The rest of the song is as per the studio version on Spotify which is the original from 'The Wall'.

The change is right at the end and it's just a certain riff which acts as a contact point, the same one Gilmour uses live, to signal the end of the song and a chance of getting the brakes on without losing control of the song.

It's very easy so please don't panic if you're doing that song with me.

Brocco

I'm playing rhythm on Beat It and don't mind if we play it in Standard Tuning or downtune to Eb (although the latter sounds best imho)

darthed1981

As the person singing Beat It, I'm OK with either but I suspect Eb will come out better, its quite high and my voice will be half gone by then!

I don't mind down tuning, I'm only planning on playing the riff when I'm not singing and maybe the single note E D E D C D E progression in the verses.

I'll join the others for a practise if I can be in the room at the time.

Guitar_Slinger

I think we've sorted Beat It out between us, by PM.

For anyone who doesn't want to bring a guitar to make it easier I will be bringing several of my builds with and I will be happy if someone wants to grab one to play 

@Rabs If you have a guitar with a humbucker and volume knob, I'd like to play one.

slacker

@differs are you ok with changing American woman to the lenny kravitz version? It's in c with the solo section in b. I'll shout the changes.
 
We've lost our rhythm guitarist and I can't play it and sing it. @pmbomb is more comfortable with the lenny version.

So fellers if you can both do the heavy lifting I'll sing it and play the riffs on the solo.


@ttony fyi apologies etc
