Sheela-na-Gig (Dry) Transcribed by Lukas (Luesche) Kamber [email protected] -------------------------------------------------------------------- I transcribed this song of my favourite artist Peej 'cause nearly anything that you can download from Peej is just the chords of the song, which isn't much, 'cause she just plays 5 chords in this song, and in others even less. But the interesting thing in her music is how she plays the chords. I tried to work these details out, but I guess I didn't really succeed, 'cause it's hard to hear how many strings she plays. Playing the song like this with the band it sounded quite identically, but there was something missing and i had to notice that when you play such easy things like this song, you need lots of feeling to sound good. When Peej plays her simple things it just sounds fantastic, 'cause she got more feeling than just anybody. If you have some changes or additions or just something to say about PJ, her person, her work, this song and especially about this transcription, email to [email protected] Beat is 63
