here are the chords that i figured out for ashlee simpson's song "La La." I'm keeping them to just power chords for now because it seems like that is what the guitar is doing.

Imagining Greg playing/singing this song is too much...

 

[Helm]

this ashlee simpson thing you've got going is a bit disconcerting

 

[Baliset]

well let's put it this way. i didn't buy the album and i don't listen to her 24/7. i occasionally watch her show on mtv and i was watching videos at my parents house yuesterday while i was playing guitar and happened to start strumming along to see the chords.

i also figured out a good portion of the new kelly clarkson song. so i am an equal oppurtunity pop princess song figure-outer.

 

[inkybmistro]

I won't deny watching the Ashlee Simpson Show almost regularly...

 

[FalseTodd]

Do I even need to point out that the chord progression is "GAG"?

 

[mindspell]

Greg is the next Marty Friedman...

 

[Baliset]

Do I even need to point out that the chord progression is "GAG"?

actually that's not meant to be chords. its a single note riff that occurs the first and third time through the verse.

 

[Baliset]

Greg is the next Marty Friedman...

what is that supposed to mean?

 

[FalseTodd]

don't play semantics with me

 

[Helm]

Greg, doesn't flaunted stupidity offend you?

 

[Baliset]

specific examples?

 

[mindspell]

what is that supposed to mean?

Next metalhead guitarist touring the world with a pop star.

 

[Baliset]

who is marty friedman touring with?

 

[Helm]

specific examples?

ashlee simpson

 

[Baliset]

well helm i wouldn't say that all flaunted stupidity offends me. "offend" is such a strong word. let me just put it to you like this:

i take myself as a musician very seriously. i think the way record companies create artists and music is terrible in the context that they dliute the marketplace for commerical profits and they don't give any support to the struggling musicians out there who bust their asses to create quality music that is both thought provoking, interesting, and intelligent.

all that being said, i don't buy ashlee simpson's cds, i don't buy tickets to go see her in concert, i don't buy any of her merchandise, i don't have posters of her on my wall, i watch her video on demand for FREE, or maybe listen to a song on the radio for FREE, or watch her mtv show for FREE.

so as you can see i do NOT support her or her record company's creation of her as a pop star in any type of commerical way, instead spending my money on new artists who create "real" music that i feel should be supported.

so if i don't financially support her or other people like her, then i see absolutely nothing wrong with acknowledging that i have a fondness for the occasional fun cheesy pop song.

 

[Baliset]

ITT: Helm is thankful that i don't write kayo dot's songs.

 

[mindspell]

AIKAWA NANASE

 

[mindspell]

Helm is a rockist

 

[Baliset]

people just need to understand that me liking ashlee simpson is not an attempt to validate her music in any way. i just like pop songs. i am a sucker for catchy melodies. what can i say?
