Paramore – Stop This Song (Lovesick Melody)

Click Here For The GuitarTutee Tabs.

You say the sweetest things and I
Can’t keep my heart from singing along to the sound of your song
My stupid feet keep moving to this 4/4 beat, I’m in time with you
Whoa, to this 4/4 beat I would die for you (die for you)

(Someone stop this)
I’ve gone to far to come back from here, but you don’t have a clue
You don’t know what you do to me

Won’t someone stop this song, so I won’t sing along
Someone stop this song, so I won’t sing..

I never let love in so I could keep my heart from hurting
The longer that I live with this idea, the more I sink into this 4/4 beat
I’m in time with you
Whoa, to this 4/4 beat I would die for you (stop this song)

I’ve gone to far to come back from here, but you don’t have a clue
You don’t know what you do to me
I’ve come to far to get over you, and you don’t have a clue
You don’t know what you do to me

Can’t someone stop this song, so I won’t sing along
Someone stop this song, so I won’t sing

Your lovesick melody is gonna get the best of me tonight
But you won’t get to me if I don’t sing

It creeps in like a spider
Can’t be killed, although I try and try to
Well, don’t you see I’m falling?
Don’t wanna love you, but I do

(Lovesick melody) Can someone stop this song, so I won’t sing along?
(Lovesick melody) Can someone stop this song, so I won’t sing?
Your lovesick melody is gonna get the best of me tonight
But you won’t get to me, no
You won’t get to me ’cause I won’t sing

I was switched off like a light
A fighter with no fight
Staring up at the stars
I’d given into the dark

Burned out like a match
At the low end of the crash
The moon glowed like a scar
How did things go so far

Somehow you saw someone worth saving
You pulled me back into the light

Now if ever I can rescue you,
When you need two arms to fall into
You know exactly where I’ll be
Just look for me
Oh look for me

When it seems like you have lost it all
And you feel like you’re in free fall
Goin’ deep into the blue
I will rescue you

When every promise turns to dust
And there’s no one left to trust
When you’re punchin at the sky
And you’re out of alibies
I know how this feels
When the wounds don’t want to heal
But I won’t forget your grace
Or the beauty of your face

Somehow you saw someone worth saving
You pulled me back into the light

Now if ever I can rescue you
When you need two arms to fall into
You know exactly where I’ll be
Just look for me
Oh look for me

When it seems like you have lost it all
And you feel like you’re in free fall
Goin’ deep into the blue
I will rescue you

I fell into that hole before
And I, I walked into that slamming door
And I faded away
To where you art in day

Now if ever I can rescue you,
When you need two arms to fall into
You know exactly where I’ll be
Just look for me
Oh look for me

When it seems like you have lost it all
And you feel like you’re in free fall
Goin’ deep into the blue
I will rescue you

Everybody needs inspiration
Everybody needs a song
Beautiful melody, when the nights so long

Cause there is no guarantee
That this life is easy (Yeah)
When my world is falling apart,
when there is no light to break up the dark
That’s when I (I) look at you
When the waves are flooding the shore and I
can’t find my way home anymore
That’s when I (I) look at you

When I look at you
I see forgiveness, I see the truth
You love me for who I am like the stars
hold the moon
Right there where they belong and I know
I’m not alone (Yeah)

When my world is falling apart,
[ Miley Cyrus Lyrics are found on www.songlyrics.com ]
when there is no light to break up the dark
That’s when I (I) look at you
When the waves are flooding the shore and I
can’t find my way home anymore
That’s when I (I) look at you

When the waves are flooding the shore and I
can’t find my way home anymore
That’s when I (I) look at you

You appear just like a dream to me
Just like a kaleidoscope colors that cover me
All I need every breath that I breathe
Don’t you know you’re beautiful (Yeah, Yeah)

When the waves are flooding the shore and I
can’t find my way home anymore
That’s when I (I) look at you

You appear just like a dream to me.

Oz Noy Schizophrenic

Oz Noy Schizophrenic

I am a big fan of Oz Noy. He is one of the most exciting guitar players out there today. His playing is very tasteful and he is a real virtuoso guitar player, without being a showoff. As I was browsing iTunes, I noticed this album Schizophrenic just came out today. So of course I had to buy it. You know what? I am glad I did!

This album is awesome! Please excuse my inability to hold back my excitement. Truth is that Oz Noy is playing some truly wicked and inspiring guitar here. His tone is better than ever, and his solos are jawdroppingly fantastic. Dang, this guy can do it all I think. As for the tunes, they are really nice. Oz Noy is known as a groove player, and he does not disappoint in that regard. Funky grooves with intelligent and inspiring use of effects, as well as ballads and some rockier material. I am floored. Schizophrenic is his fourth release by the way.

Description from Amazon: Oz Noy, one of the most proficient, fluid, and inventive contemporary instrumental guitarists in the U.S., unleashes the sonic equivalent of a high-performance sports vehicle that hugs the highway and cruises in the fast lane. Helping Noy realize his musical visions is a stellar cast of musicians such as guitarist Steve Lukather (Toto, Michael Jackson), drummer Dave Weckl (Chick Corea, Robert Plant), drummer Keith Carlock (Sting, James Taylor, Steely Dan), drummer Anton Fig and bassist Will Lee(both of Late Show with David Letterman)and bassist James Genus (SNL).

Oz Noy’s way of using effects is right up my alley. It’s often effect in – effect out. He doesn’t overdo effects, even though he uses lots of them in his music. What he does however, is to use effects in the right spots in compositions. He may add a fast tremolo stutter or an octave fuzz tone in certain places, and soon there after there’s a fat distortion tone for a few seconds. In the end, it never sounds overdone or too much to me. No, it’s tasty and makes me go “whoa, what was that unearthly cool thing he just did?”. Needless to say, his way of using effects really inspires me.

If you like Oz Noy, you must get this album now. Never heard of him? Well, let me entertain you then. Here are some youtube videos.

You should also have listen here www.myspace.com/oznoy – there’s music from this last album there.

James Taylor – Mexico

Way down here you need a reason to move
Feel a fool running your stateside games
Lose your load, leave your mind behind, baby james

Oh, mexico
It sounds so simple I just got to go
The suns so hot I forgot to go home
Guess Ill have to go now

Americano got the sleepy eye
But his bodys still shaking like a live wire
Sleepy seorita with the eyes on fire

Oh, mexico
It sounds so sweet with the sun sinking low
Moons so bright like to light up the night
Make everything all right

Babys hungry and the moneys all gone
The folks back home dont want to talk on the phone
She gets a long letter, sends back a postcard; times are hard

Oh, down in mexico
I never really been so I dont really know
Oh, mexico
I guess Ill have to go

Oh, mexico
I never really been but Id sure like to go
Oh, mexico
I guess Ill have to go now

Even if the sky is falling down like she supposed to be,

Down like her temperature, ’cause to me she zero degree,
She cold, overfreeze,

Now she my miss America,

Don’t it look like baby cupid sent his arrows from above,
Don’t you ever leave the side of me,
Indefinitely, not probably,
and honestly im down like the economy,

You won’t be lonely, even if the sky is falling down,
You’ll be my only, no need to worry,
Baby are you down down down down down,
Down, Down,
Baby are you down down down down down,
Down, Down,
Even if the sky is falling down

Tremolo Pedal

Tremolo Pedal

Tremolo is a nice, simple and useful effect I like to use when playing guitar. I find it sounds best with a fairly clean guitar sound. I also think tremolo is underused as a cool effect in many styles of music.

What kind of effect is tremolo anyway? Well, all the tremolo effect does is turn the volume down and back up repeatedly.

Most Tremolo pedals have several characteristics which will shape the sound.

The Depth controls how extreme the volume change is. If you set the depth low, you can an effect like turning a volume knob back and fortt just a little bit. A higher amount of depth would be like turning your volume all the way up and down repeatedly.

The Rate controls the speed of the volume change. This rate is controlled by a knob, and some pedal makers even have a tap tempo function, which makes it possible to sync the rate with the beat of a song.

The Waveform shape affects the type of tremolo too. The two types of common waveforms for tremolo are sine and square waveforms.

A Square waveform is abrubt like a lightswitch – it can only be either on or off. This means the volume is either on or off, and there’s no transition between of and off. The effect is a very choppy sounding tremolo effect.

A Sine waveform is similar to a dimmer switch, because it has a smooth transition between all the way up and all the way down. This setting is less abrupt and extreme, and sounds more pleasing.

Some pedal makers have other options too, for example tap-tempo and the ability to mix Square and Sine waveforms, for more control of the tremolo.

Cool Cat Tremolo

Personally, I have settled for the inexpensive Cool Cat Tremolo. It has a "soft" and "hard" switch, which refers to the sine and square tremolo effect types, respectively. If you are looking for a good, affordable tremolo pedal, you’ve got to try the Cool Cat Tremolo. I love it! Here is a demo I made, using a Suhr Classic through my Mack Heatseeker 18 watt tube head.

For some other examples of good use of tremolo in music, have a listen to "Feels Like Rain", by John Hiatt:

Creedence Clearwater Revival also used the Tremolo effect quite a bit in their music. Here is an example.

See also a tremolo pedal article in Guitar Player Magazine from Feb 2008, where they tested 11 different tremolo pedals.
