This one was hard work. It was the first song I did on my new iMac and trying to get everything sync’ed up like my old system was a challenge. It is all figured out now. Whew.
Wish You Were Here is a great song. I have played the rhythm part in bands before but never the opening lead. I took this opportunity to figure it out and I like how it turned out after only a day or so of practice. I’d like to work more on it but I’m not going to. I did figure out what Gilmore was up to with the lead and he is a genius.
I played this all on my Les Paul. I originally thought the Strat would sound better but it was a little chimey and was able to get a decent sound out of the Gibson quickly so I went with it.
Here are the lyrics:
So, so you might be afraid
All the Batman Trades
Blue suit and gray
You don’t know Robin’s deal
Who’s Batgirl today
Is that Azrael
You don’t think you can tell
With a bookshelf of Trades
Which heros are ghosts
Which villains are teamed
Fighting on Gotham’s cruel streets
Overwhelmed in the maze
Of Eighty years and some days
Perhaps Arkham Reborn
Or maybe get Wargames
