Paddle Faster (I Hear Banjos)

music by Bruno   lyrics by Hook
performed by Bruno & Hook

Nothing about this situation is comfortable to me
Everything about this predicament makes me uneasy
Waiting for the right moment to make a beak & go
Paddle faster brother, I hear banjos

Something deep inside my chest tells me this is wrong
I know I've seen the movie, read the book or heard the song
It's like coming to a fork & not knowing which way to go
Paddle faster brother, I hear banjos

I should trust my intuition but I never will
I'll second guess each decision; the flow is what I'll kill
I'm trapped without an option, only one way to go
Paddle faster brother, I hear banjos

[bruno]

Now this put a big smile on my face this morning.
Paddle on bro, paddle on..

I love this. Are you using an open tunning on your guitar? the banjo-like intro sounds great!

I'd love to learn how to craft those banjo-like arpeggios. Any pointers?

Na_th_an.
Standard tuning on the guitar, and I assume on the like (I say assume as I know nothing about uke tunings). To be honest, I'm more an electric player than acoustic, so play the acoustic more like an electric, with a pick. It sounds more impressive than it is to play, uses a mix of open stings, flat picking (I didn't know what it was called that when I wrote this piece to my embarrassment) and fingered chord shapes. I like to play this, so play it lots which helps with the speed.
