Taylor Swift – The Other Side Of The Door

Standard Tuning:
Capo On 2nd Fret

D A Em G

D A
In the heat of the fight I walked away
Em G
Ignoring words that you were saying, trying to make me stay
D A
I said this time I’ve had enough
Em G
And you’ve called a hundred times but I’m not picking up

C D
‘Cause I’m so mad I might tell you that it’s over
Em A
But if you look a little closer

D A
I said “leave” but all I really want is you
Em G
To stand outside my window throwing pebbles

Screaming “I’m in love with you”
D A
Wait there in the pouring rain, come back for more
Em G
And don’t you leave ’cause I know all I need
A D A Em G
Is on the other side of the door

D A
Me and my stupid pride are sitting here alone
Em G
Going through the photographs, staring at the phone
D A
I keep going back over things we both said
Em
And I remember the slamming door
G
And all the things that I misread

C D
So babe if you know everything tell me why you couldn’t see
Em A
When I left I wanted you to chase after me

D A
I said “leave” but all I really want is you
Em G
To stand outside my window throwing pebbles

Screaming “I’m in love with you”
D A
Wait there in the pouring rain, come back for more
Em G
And don’t you leave ’cause I know all I need
A D A Em G
Is on the other side of the door

Em
And I’ll scream out the window
G D A
I can’t even look at you, I don’t need you but I do, I do, I do
Em G
I’ll say there’s nothing you can say to make this right again
D A C
I mean it, I mean it, what I mean is

D A
I said “leave” but baby all I want is you
Em G
To stand outside my window throwing pebbles
(G)
Screaming “I’m in love with you”
D A
Wait there in the pouring rain, come back for more
Em G
And don’t you leave ’cause I know all I need
A D
Is on the other side of the door

D
With your face and your beautiful eyes
A
And the conversation with the little white lies
Em
And the faded picture of a beautiful night
G
You carried me from your car up the stairs
D
And I broke down crying, was she worth this mess
A
After everything and that little black dress
Em C
After everything I must confess I need you

Camrose on Boxing Day

Camrose on Boxing Day

Amalia and I went down to Mirror Lake in the afternoon on Christmas Day. It was a beautiful winter day, around minus 5 and lots of people out on the ice; some skating, some playing a game of hockey.

I was spinning around the ice with Amalia, and I also took a few photos of this beautiful day. Have a look here below.

I used my Olympus E-410 with a Zuiko 45-54 mm f/2.8-3.5 lens. I am really liking this lens!

Avatar is a great movie

Avatar is a great movie

The movie Avatar is impressive, grand, beautiful and powerful and visually stunning. James Cameron knows how to create movies that have a strong and long lasting impression.

Story

The story is set in the year 2154. The people on Earth have used up most of the natural resources by wasteful living. The humans now plan to use military force to conquer a planet by the name of Pandora. This planet, about the size of Earth, is inhabited by peaceful people called the Na’vi. The Na’vi have blue skin, and are considerably larger than humans. They have wise and deeply respect nature. Pandora is rich in a kind of natural resource that people on Earth really want badly.

The people from Earth send in special forces and mercenaries with powerful weapons, with the intent to conquer Pandora, even if that means killing and destroying the Na’vi and their culture. The diplomatic attempts so far have not achieved much in getting the natives to relocate as the earthlings want. However, the Na’vi are no direct threat to the people of Earth in any way.

It is not possible for humans to breathe in Pandora’s atmosphere, so the military have developed mind-controllable "avatars", which look identical to the Na’vi. One of the Avatars, a Marine soldier with missing legs, get very close to the Na’vi and helps them in every way to defend their land from their attackers.

Criticism

This story has received some interesting criticism so far. Looking at the story line, it’s not surprising. It is not too hard to relate to the real world anti-war movement and environmentalist thinking. For example, see the Yahoo write up about the hidden messages of Avatar.

Yes, I believe it has a green/environmental as well as anti-war message. James Cameron is hardly denying his political views. I also think it’s destined to develop a cult following, for several reasons. It has a pro-environmental and anti-war message, and it is also technically extraordinaire. The visuals in this movie are completely incredible and immediately made me want to go watch this movie again.

Personally, I love the message, I love the way Cameron develops the story and and the characters. Technology and effects are not used only to impress, but to better communicate the passion and beliefs of the Na’vi vs. the humans. There is a lot to see in this movie, and if you haven’t seen it yet, trust me – it is a must see. It is one of the best movies of 2009 without a doubt – quite likely the best one, in my opinion.

Ryan Tedder – Gravity

Standard Tuning:
Capo On 2nd Fret

D A Bm G

Every time that you told me
That we would write our own story
Something in your voice that made me believe

you
For every way that you stole my heart
For everything that you are
There’s something ’bout your love
That tells me I need you

But you can’t get started
When you’re heavy hearted
We’re both fighting gravity
And it’s making it hard to breathe
When your hope gets frozen
And your fear’s unspoken
Cause you don’t want to fall again
Well I’m falling too

If this love’s enough for you
And this love’s enough for me
Then why can’t we overcome this gravity
It’s pushing down on you
It’s pulling down on me
Why can’t we overcome this gravity
We can’t get off the ground
We can’t get off the ground
We can’t get off the ground
This gravity
We can’t get off the ground
We can’t get off the ground
We can’t get off the ground

Everybody gets afraid
Of saying what they wanna say
They don’t want their words to get caught in

the open
I wanna take that chance on you
No, I know that I got to lose
Standing on this road but
I don’t know where it’s going

But you can’t get started
When you’re heavy hearted
We’re both fighting gravity
And it’s making it hard to breathe
When your hope gets frozen
And your fear’s unspoken
Cause you don’t wanna fall again
Well, I’m falling too

If this love’s enough for you
And this love’s enough for me
Then why can’t we overcome this gravity
It’s pushing down on you
It’s pulling down on me
Why can’t we overcome this gravity
We can’t get off the ground
We can’t get off the ground
We can’t get off the ground
This gravity
We can’t get off the ground
We can’t get off the ground
We can’t get off the ground
Why can’t we overcome

I, I wonder what you’re thinking
I, I gotta find a reason
I, I want your love to lift me off the ground
I, I wonder what you’re thinking
I, I gotta find a reason
I, I want your love to lift me off the ground

If this love’s enough for you
If this love’s enough for me
Then why can’t we overcome this gravity
It’s pushing down on you
And it’s pulling down on me
Why can’t we overcome this gravity
We can’t get off the ground
We can’t get off the ground
We can’t get off the ground
This gravity

Silent Night Guitar Melody

Silent Night Guitar Melody in PDF and GP5

I wrote this simple arrangement of Silent Night for my students. It’s a way you can play the melody by using (mostly) just 2 strings at a time.

When you play a melody like this, by harmonizing the original melody, you the effect that you can almost "hear" the chords.

This is also a good way to familiarize yourself with a major scale, in this case the G Major scale.

I will be posting a video of this really SOON! I am getting my studio built right now, and currently I have no place to record decent videos. Soon, I will have my own studio however, which means I’ll be working more on new videos and other materials.

Let me know how you like this arrangement.
