That someone should've stopped the fight and come up to tell Mancini "I was the guy who stopped the fight"? So what's he saying? That someone should've stopped the fight and said Du Koo Kim asked it to be stopped? "It's just a rock song," said Warren, meaning that it didn't have to be that precise or deep or anything. I remember an anecdote about Warren asking Carl Hiassen to co-write. Ray took some punches that night, but not enough to say something that makes no sense. He said, "Some one should have stopped the fight and told me it was him." "When they asked him who was responsible for the death of Du Koo Kim (Then is goes right into Jungle Work)ĭoes anyone else have a problem with one couplet here ? i think it's a fast pentatonic run down the scale in E minor (open position).Īnd also, instead of the fade out at the end he hits a few chords. And open chords in distroted tone are often mudded out.Īlso, if you're wondering what the last fast fill he does in the last chorus there. Which makes sense because it's on a clean acoustic guitar and nota distorted electric guitar. On this particular live performance he uses open chords. He also throws a back stroke on the E minor chord, too.Īlso, on the original version he uses power chords through the verses and the intro. You will also notice small fills thrown in there. But if you're really looking for this albums tone, a 12 string guitar helps a lot. Warren used a 12 string on this version, but using a 6 string will do just fine. So if you have played along to this with your 1st fret capoed and it sound different, there is your answer.Īlso, one of the more obvious things is that the Learning. But on the Learning to Flinch version, it is played as it normally would be, only minus the capo, making the song in E minor. On the studio album version Zevon has the guitars tuned to standard, but the first fret is capoed, technically making the song in F minor. shouldn't be too hard.įirst thing that is different is the key.kinda. If you're more familliar with the Sentimental Hygiene Album version, playing it like it's heard on Learning.
