Natural Light Chords

Tuned to D standard. Most of these are played as barre chords, but open chords sound fine as well. Quite a few of these chords variate between major and minor... so there will be a few mistakes 7ths are also possible. Lyrics from DBT site. Natural Light A F# Bm If it weren't for the glow of the scre...

Re: Favorite DBT record ???

Ah, so we have to explain now! 1) Southern Rock Opera - The perfect album. You can tell how much time was put into it, but it doesn't feel staged either. 2) A Blessing and a Curse - DBT at it's darkest. I don't know if this album would have worked without the trouble going on in the band. Patterson'...

By Album: Panties in Your Purse - duh! One of These Days - This rawks, miss the Wah-Wah in concert though. Love Like This - Better than the studio version. Zip City - The only method I have of proving this one's greatness, is that it beat out 72 (this highway's mean) on this list. The guitars don't ...

Re: English Oceans Discussion Thread

Nah, Heartbreaker is one of the best albums released in the last 20 years. SE was one the best albums released last year. I agree on both fronts. Adams has never made a solo album that's listenable all the way through, including Heartbreaker IMHO. Some great songs by I think he's a poor self editor...

Re: English Oceans Reviews

While I may not agree with everything the reviewer has to say here I like the place he's coming from. You never know when a DBT track you slightly overlook comes back and bites you in the jugular. What is clear is that he gets it. m I actually agree with most of that. And that's coming from a guy (...

Well, I think they have the potential to be as great as ever, really. What they need, IMHO is a great player like Isbell or Neff who can sort of tie the sack musically. Not necissarely a "hot picker" but someone to challenge Hood and Cooley musically to be the very best they can be. They ...

on the plus side, the itunes version does sound better than the leak - not muffled.

Re: dbt track # 76 - Panties in Your Purse

During tonight's Homecoming stream I realized (for the first time) that the chord sequence to this song is identical to Zip City Yeah.... No. Not the same melody (at all), but I'm pretty sure they're both Em/G/D/A....maybe PIYP is in a different key. EDIT: After a bit of googling, looks like I'm a ...

Dare I say "underrated" so far by this board?


Definitely. Probably because it's overshadowed by the last 3 Hood songs on the record.
