I want to take [F#] a quick look at Ken [A] Loggins' tune, House of Poo Corner.
Pretty much the song that [G#] put him on the map, and a song that he wrote [D] when he was still
in high [C#] school.
So, but we're going to [G] look at really a campfire way of playing it, but it's kind of a campfire [A] song.
It does have a few tricky things in [C#] it, and that's all I want to do is point out two things
you've got to pay attention [D] to.
Maybe one, maybe three.
We'll [F] see as I go.
[F#m] We're going to play it in the key of E.
If I was going to sing it, I would play it in
[A] the key of C.
So hopefully you could transpose it if you want to put it into a different key.
E is a little high for many male voices, not [D#] Ken's.
And [C#] it uses all the chords in the [F#m] key of E, which is really [C#] cool.
It uses all three major chords, which would be E, [A] A, and B, and all three minor chords,
F sharp minor, G sharp minor, and C sharp [F] minor.
So the page that I have, [C#] the chart that I have, just shows the chords at the top, the
words at the [D] bottom, and we're going to do it with a very [A] simple finger-picking pattern,
[D#] a type of arpeggio pattern, [F#m] except that we're going to hit two notes [C#m] together at once.
So [F#] I'm playing an E chord, and it's just going to [A] be thumb on whatever [F#m] bass note you need to play.
You're basically going to play four notes per chord, or per slash, or per half [C#] a measure.
So the pattern is going to be thumb on either the sixth or fifth strings, possibly the fourth,
[D] followed by your index [F#m] finger on the [A] third string, [G] and then your second and third fingers
[C#] playing the first and second strings, coming back to your index finger.
