Blackberry smoke who invented the wheel tab

The company had signed up 1M subscribers by the end of the year, eventually peaking at over 3M. Because the company was losing money hand-over-fist, it began, in Spring , to alter its business model with fewer movies and more restrictions. Consumers left the company in response, with subscriptions dropping from over 3M to about , by April , according to Business Insider.

While the company failed, it did inspire major theater chains like AMC to introduce their own cost-effective subscription passes. This was a change consumers never asked for and public backlash was a disaster.

This line of chips was made with Olestra, an artificial fat that was supposed to pass harmlessly through your digestive tract. Gastrointestinal side effects of an unmentionable variety ensued, followed by lawsuits. Though Dasani is one of the leading bottled water brands in the United States, this is not the case for its European counterpart.

Dasani was launched in the United Kingdom in However, before the product even made it to shelves, the brand was rocked by a wave of negative media coverage after it was revealed that Dasani was simply tap water that had been bottled at a factory in Sidcup, a suburb in Kent. Authorities believed the chemical was added during the filtration process.

Coca-Cola, which owns the Dasani brand, had planned to launch the product across continental Europe but ultimately canceled in light of the disastrous launch in the UK.

Consumers were confused about what it was supposed to taste like: it was citrus-flavored, instead of a clear cola as the name would seem to have implied. Adults want convenient food, so Gerber decided to release baby-food style versions of adult foods with flavors including Beef Burgundy and Mediterranean Vegetables.

Burger King attempted to court consumers seeking healthier fast food options with these revamped french fries. Execution fell flat, with consumers reporting that they had a tougher outer coating and a drier texture. A McDonalds burger with cheese, lettuce, onions, tomatoes, ketchup, and mayonnaise-dijon mustard sauce on a potato roll. Designed for adults, it never found an audience the Big Mac was cheaper at the time. Pulled from shelves in for marketing itself as an alternative to illegal street drugs, this over-the-top energy drink had 2.

Best known for its waffles, frozen-food manufacturer Downyflake released Toaster Eggs, a precooked egg-based food product that was prepared in a toaster like a Pop-Tart, in the s. Way before the start of the cold-brew craze, Maxwell House pioneered selling consumers pre-brewed coffee in a cardboard carton.

Missing the obvious opportunity to corner the iced coffee market, it doubled down by advertising that consumers enjoy it hot. Customers were seemingly unwilling to take the extra step of pouring a mug of coffee, then heating it up at that point, why not just brew some real coffee? This carbonated, coffee-soda beverage had spiced and citrus notes and reportedly split consumers into for and against camps almost immediately.

It never found an audience to appease the coffee giant or the soda empire that birthed it, but proved that people would buy Starbucks drinks in a can or bottle, of which there are no shortage today. It was reportedly lemon-lime-flavored and astoundingly managed to stay in production until when it was discontinued in the US. This one was an unfortunate hit with hard-partying youths: booze and caffeine. It kept you drunk and wired for as long as you could stomach the dangerous beverage, which put more than a few consumers in the hospital.

This brightly-colored beverage did well in taste tests, but not in stores. One critic opined that consumers likely thought it would taste too much like drinking candy. The idea was simple enough: take ketchup, traditionally some shade of red, and turn it different colors through the magic of science. The novelty wore off quickly and though it remained in production for 6 years, this house on fire had long since burned out.

This brightly colored carbonated drink with edible candy balls in it apparently tasted terrible. No one thinks of wings when they think of McDonalds, which is why even though the wings were reportedly pretty tasty, the burger giant still had 10M tons of unsold, frozen chicken wings to try to get rid of after the initial run of the ill-fated product. The surplus prompted a deep discount followed by discontinuation.

Yogurt, for whatever reason, seems to be disproportionately marketed toward women, so it might have made a certain kind of sense to the team at Cosmo that decided to try to slap the Cosmo brand on some yogurt and see if it sold.

Shelves were stripped of this spurious product in six weeks. The consumer would then, theoretically, assemble the bits of the sandwich together at a later time so that they could enjoy their still-crisp lettuce and tomato. Burger lovers passed on this unwanted innovation. Weighing in at 1, calories, this was a burger between two grilled cheese sandwiches and proved too much for the average consumer.

This was essentially a folded-over pizza, loosely alluding to the idea of a calzone; it weighed over a pound. Flavored Oreos can be great golden, birthday cake, reverse, etc. This weird flavor combination failed to find a following with consumers. It was only available for a limited time anyway, which was just as well. Cereal and milk and a spoon in a box, no refrigeration needed.

It failed because it was marketed as a simple, all-in-one breakfast for kids, but kids had trouble with the packaging. In , a California man filed suit against the donut chain after he learned that its raspberry-filled donuts were not the shining paragons of nutrition he once believed them to be.

The suit alleged that, because the donuts are not made with real fruit, the consumer was denied vitamins he might otherwise have received had the filling been genuine. The burger chain tried to capture more diners with these ciabatta roll creations, but they never caught on, maybe partially due to the added fact that they actually took longer to prepare than a burger.

But instead of using its own brand name, PepsiCo used a subsidiary: Frito-Lay. For some reason, the company chose cherries. After the idea was met with headlines calling it an inappropriate and bad idea, the product was quickly scrapped. The taste left much to be desired, and consumers failed to jump on the bandwagon, leaving Coca-Cola to pull the product shortly after release. The reaction to the new packaging, introduced in Jan , was swift.

Introduced in , Pepsi Blue was supposed to compete with Vanilla Coke. One of the problems was the color; the use of Blue 1 food coloring is banned in some countries. Pepsi discontinued the product in , though it is still available in some countries. The carbonated milk drink Vio launched in the US market in and failed rapidly. Comprised of milk, carbonated water, and fruit flavoring, Vio reportedly never even received a full US market launch — though the company has since launched the brand in India.

Over the past decade, Amazon has invested hundreds of millions of dollars to develop its video game studio and capture a bigger slice of the entertainment industry. Designed as an online, multiplayer shooter, Crucible resembled free-to-play games like Fortnite and League of Legends, which rely on attracting large numbers of users to generate revenue from ads or in-game sales.

When it launched in May , Crucible had about 25, gamers playing at the same time. But within 2 days, that number had dropped to below 5, By July , Amazon had pulled the game from stores and put it into closed beta for testing. In an attempt to reach as many types of players as possible, it imitated the game modes found in other popular shooters, but it never found a way to stand out.

By November , Amazon had canceled the game altogether. At a time when Atari was the undisputed monarch of video gaming and E. Atari had a landfill in New Mexico for unsold product where many of the E. Video game historians have pointed to the E. Alas, hardware was the bugbear of this brick and developers had trouble building games for its multi-chip setup.

All that added up to a big old nothing. It was killed by poor marketing, an insufficient controller, and a broader crash in the North American video gaming industry in the early s.

But in , Philips could have been forgiven for throwing its hat into the ring with a gaming console. You still had to have two different devices: one for games and one for making calls. Go also had a weak catalog at the exact moment when phone games were storming onto the scene, trampling this underwhelming console beneath their heels. The Wii U was a resounding failure. The Wii U sold only about Meanwhile, the Nintendo Switch, its successor, launched in and has become a tremendous hit.

What made the Wii U so unlovable? It also had relatively few hit titles tied to it once the buzz around launch titles had dissipated, so enthusiasm wore off. Launched in by gaming company Silicon Knights, the video game was supposed to be the first in a trilogy, but met with many obstacles. It was stuck in development for ten years, involved a lawsuit between Epic and Silicon Knights, followed by a successful countersuit by Epic that forced the game to be pulled from the Xbox Marketplace.

Today the game is regarded as one of the worst flops in video game history. The PlayStation Classic was released in as a miniature remake of the original PlayStation console. Early reviews questioned the selection of games — classics like Crash Bandicoot and Tomb Raider were not included — as well as the absence of new features like wireless controllers.

These factors, combined with the high price point, seem to have dissuaded gamers from purchasing the system en masse. Seen as the literal antidote to avian flu concerns in , Relenza seemed poised to be a cash cow in the pharmaceutical world.

It was both cheaper and had better efficacy rates than its sole competitor, Tamiflu. There have been plenty of instances of artificial intelligence gone wrong, but few flamed out as quickly — or visibly — as Tay, a Microsoft Twitter bot.

Within hours of going live, Twitter users began flooding Tay with hateful language. True to its nature, Tay learned quickly, not only repeating what it heard but also coming up with its own wildly offensive remarks. Within 2 days, Microsoft had taken Tay offline. The potential impact for patients seemed transformative — that is, until Watson started giving out bad advice. For instance, it suggested that a patient use a medication that could worsen their already severe bleeding.

MSK claims this suggestion was hypothetical and not given to a real patient. Users could also open apps directly from Home. However, even enthusiastic Facebook users found Home to be confusing at best and intrusive at worst. The app had an average rating of just 2. Although Facebook tried to improve the product and address user concerns in a series of updates, Home disappeared from the Play store less than a year after its launch.

A closed launch made invites a hot commodity for about a week. Then Google discarded the restrained invitation model, throwing open the doors in an attempt to build a user base that never lived up to its expectations of creating a possible Facebook competitor.

The division stopped selling deals in December Note the long tag at the end of the first break; I think I first heard it or something like it played by Bobby Thompson. The final D measures at the end of the second break feature one of my original D runs, and you might find it useful. The third break includes some melodic sequences that you can plug into a variety of tunes. Note added in April I originally posted this tablature several years ago, and I have now modified it slightly.

I was surprised when I couldn't find a version of this anywhere online, since it isn't that uncommon of a jam tune. I have tried to keep it simple, but any "hard" bits should have their fingerings written out. The tab is not strictly faithful to his version, although I did try to render parts of it note-for-note. I loved his version and I guess I don't mind mine, coz it's as near as I could get to the original. Note that it is a great tune to play with Keith tuners, and I leave it to you to work out the arrangement.

Many years ago I posted a tab of BSB, but in recently watching a youtube video of Bill playing the tune I detected some errors in my tab. So I have tried to render a tab that is closer to the way he played it. The B part is particularly difficult for the left hand. Pay attention to the section in measure 11, where the trick is to use your index finger to barre the 1st and 2nd strings at the 10th fret and then fret the 5th string at the 14th fret by s-t-r-e-c-h-i-n-g over with your ring finger.

Capo up 2 to play in the key of A. G tuning capoed to key of A. It was a thrill to see him with Jim and Jesse at the University of Chicago Folk Festival in , where he wowed the audience and me with his banjo prowess. I read somewhere that he wrote it when he was a teenager, an indication of how talented he was.

I have tabbed it so you can play it without D tuners, although I have indicated above the tab the proper moves if you have tuners. The first break resembles the way Shelton played BTS, but it is not note-for-note.

The second break is reminiscent of Bill Keith's version and includes some neat ideas. You can find Keith's recording of it on his CD "Beating Around the Bush," which should be in every bluegrass banjo player's collection.

It started out as a simple warmup exercise and, without my planning it, morphed into a recognizable tune. So, my teacher, Glenn Nelson and I came up with this arrangement. I hope you like it. YouTube only offered the recording by the Nashville Bluegrass Band. Still green in the world of transcribing banjo tunes, I decided to take on the challenge. In the first, full measure, I use my pinky for the hammer-on to facilitate an easier maneuver for the ring finger on the 3rd string-7th fret and the middle finger on the 2nd string-2nd fret, but if that isn't comfortable for you, do what is!

At the 2nd ending, make sure to bring out the syncopated line with the on the D string. Alan does this so well, the open 3rd and 1st strings are hardly noticed. Be sure not to rush the hammer-on at the down beat of the B section.

It isn't anticipated as a 16th note, and your picking index finger jumps up to the 4th string to execute the slide in the following measure. Release the string with your fretting hand, making that note staccato note the rest as well as the following two quarter notes on the 1st string.

The same is true for the following two quarter notes on the 2nd string at the 8th fret. Listening to the recording will help immensely. Note the single string in m. Pretend you're Wes Corbett, and start with the index finger since you've just used your thumb. I heard in an interview he taught himself single string and started with his index. You can transition to a more traditional thumb lead using the middle finger on the 2nd string, but it changes the tone pattern plastic vs.

In the second grouping of A sections, another instrument alternates with the lead. However, the banjo's ending break is shortened, leaving out the two middle A sections, rendering the form A1-A2-B-A2.

State--very near to the Canadian border. There is a lot of french influence in my arrangements. The breaks involve a judicious mixture of Scruggs and melodic playing. Pay particular attention to the third break, in which I attempt to capture the feel of Kenny Baker's approach to the tune on the fiddle. Ah, Kenny Baker. I've included the right hand fingerwork on important passages, which makes it playable.

Not for the fainthearted. Lots of index-finger-above-the-thumb picking. This is an exceptionally difficult piece played at a blistering tempo. So buckle up your seat belts. As for his other breaks to BSR: Well, you're on your own. Good luck.

Its saving grace is that it employs a number of my standard licks and hence is, for me at least, relatively easy to play. Influenced by several sources. I don't include fingering because in most case it's obvious and I assume anyone who plays melodics has their preferred ways of getting at the basic formations that come up in this arrangement. I will note that there's some use of middle finger on 2nd string, usually at the top end of a forward roll.

In measure 19, for the 3-note backward roll starting on 2nd string I actually use my index finger for both 2nd and 3rd strings. It's non-conventional, but it works for me, especially at the moderate tempo of this tune. You're free to use middle on 2nd for a true 3-finger backward roll, as Tony Trischka and Bela Fleck would.

Thank you to Hangout member Sam Parks for letting me use the guitar, mandolin and bass tracks from his TablEdit file.

Saved me a lot of time. The second break includes some interesting melodic sequences I heard on a concert tape recorded at the Birchmere, to be precise of Bela Fleck when he was with Spectrum.

I wanted to see how difficult it would be to play Bill Cheatham in open A--and It didn't go that bad at all Hope you like it Chords are basic, i. Adjust settings so that chords are displayed as letter names only, tab is displayed at 4 bars per line, and view is scaled to 16th notes. Bill Keith's left hand fingerings are included, but may be considered unusual or difficult by some. A few lines have simple, but useful alterations, to grab the ear of someone paying attention. The tab is written such that you can follow along with the recording.

Chords are very basic. Bill remarks "I can remember the title sometimes," but never states it in the linked video given above. However, he unfortunately had to decline due to a "health issue beyond his control.

This should be a note for note transcription, with the possible exception that there were a couple of spots where he may have used a "pull-off" lick getting to the A minor chord, but I couldn't really tell.

I didn't include it, so the A minor bits are played around the 5th fret, instead of the first. I wish him well and hope that his health improves so that he might make it back in the future. Both banjo breaks are included along with the backup for the fiddle and mandolin breaks. In other words, the tab is written such that you can follow along with the record.

There are similar, single solo, tabs in Tony Trischka's books "Melodic Banjo" and "Bill Keith Banjo," that certainly have enough info to play the tune similar to the way Bill did it.

However, for those of you who are interested in all of the specific details, or just can't stand it when the books leave them out this should be exactly how Bill played it on the record. Hence when I wanted to work out a break to Billy in the Lowground, many years ago, I did not want to capo at the 5th fret and play out of the G position. My tab goes to the F chord, but you can change it to Am by substituting an E note for the F note.

I also mimic a little bit of Clarence White in the B part. This has some fun ideas in Dm. I always wanted to play it and then one day I was fooling around and it started to come to me.

It's in G tuning but in the key of c use C shapes. Hope You like it.. This piece is difficult at a medium tempo, let alone the burning fast velocity it sounds best in my opinion at. The 2nd chorus is an example of Don Reno's continuous roll pattern, which is a forward roll with no breaks until the end of the chorus. Needless to say it's quite difficult at any tempo! There are a few small single string parts in the first two A sections, which are kinda difficult to pull off cleanly.

Has a nice melodic run in the 3rd part. The first is the way I often play it. The second is my approximation of a break by the great Bill Emerson, one of my favorite banjo players.

Here I have included my tab of his very improvisational second break. Capo II. Watch out for the unsquare bits! I think the banjo picker is Evan Ward. I am unable to find the album for sale but I have this track as mp3. Capo 2nd fret for A. It seemed every banjo picker knew a well known melodic version but that was about it, so I wanted to come up with some Scruggs-type ways to approach this tune, with a little chromatics thrown in here and there.

I especially enjoy the stuff I came up with for Part B I also have a rambling video I made back in which shows some of these licks in play The chords in his backup were minimal: In contrast to the usual structure, his A Part included only G and D chords, and his B Part was only in E minor. But it is vintage Scruggs-style backup and well worth listening to. So treat it as an approximation.

To put his backup in context, I have added a banjo track playing the melody, but it is muted so that you can hear the backup track more clearly. If I could play the fiddle I would have included the fiddle track instead. If you like it you may like my banjo blog at www. It begins in G just like normal, but then changes keys to Eb for a verse, then to Bb for a verse, and then back to G.

All in open tuning. He subsequently recorded it with the supergroup Muleskinner, in For an example of the cleverness of his break, note how he used ascending scales in the first run-through of the A part and then descending scales in the second run-through. Catch the video of Muleskinner on youtube. The tab I have posted here is pretty close to the way I hear Bill playing it, and I give you two of his endings, the first from the Billy Baker recording and the second from Muleskinner.

Note that the backup chord structure can be complex as in the tab and Muleskinner recording, or simple as in the Billy Baker recording. BS M is a rare bird indeed, a small mountain rising above the bald prairie. It is of course artificial, constructed as a ski slope for the Canada Winter Games. Happy 50th anniversary, BS Mountain. His banjo is tuned gGCEG. It's the same tuning as standard open G, but just shifted down to open C.

This can be played in open G and it still sounds lovely. Hoping to transpose the other parts Bela plays in the song and make a full instrumental out of it. Transcribed by AWAL In its deceptive simplicity and elegance it ranks up there with his break to "No Mother or Dad," in my opinion -- it is a break in which he really plays the words.

The first break by Scruggs is my attempt to capture his recorded version with Lester Flatt, and the second break is an amalgam of variations I have heard on various radio and concert recordings by Flatt and Scruggs.

The next 2 breaks are my own, with some elements based on Bill Keith's playing. TablEdit is converted from GuitarPro2. Grasstowne - Blue Rocking Chair This is a simple melody tab, not a transcription of banjo break played by Grasstowne. I suppose the song title is in reference to Andy Boarman At any rate, use the original recording for reference, since Tabledit is a computer app, and Jimmy was human.

Note that the melody is played in more of a single string style rather than melodic style, though it could be played pretty closely using a melodic style. Bobby was good at single string and melodic style as well as Scruggs style. As you will see, the structure of the tune is AAB. I dedicate BfJ to the memory of my dear friend Dr. Goodbye, Old Pal. It's hard for me because of the single string work, but well worth the effort. Translation: I was noodling around, and it emerged from the noodling.

I wanted to explore the relation between the Bb and D chords, and you can judge how it turned out. It is played out of the G tuning with the capo up 2 frets to the key of A, to make it easier on the guitarist. Be sure to study up! What better gold standard to compare your banjo playing to than the master himself! True banjo playing way before its time! No matter what the tab says, this tune is played in standard tuning, capo 2, fifth string capoed 4.

It shows the fifth string being fretted at the fourth, but it's not. To me, it conjures the sound of baying hounds chasing a deer. It is also an excellent tune for the banjo and has been recorded by several artists: Buck White of course, with banjo by Jack Hicks; Larry Cordle, with banjo by Dave Talbot from Ontari-ari-ari-o; and Jeff White, with banjo by Charlie Cushman.

It is played in the key of A. Added Bass tab have no idea how to do the guitar and mandolin. Experimented some to try to get the tab of the braying mule and the alternating walkup measures to sound like Douglas' version.

Also used repeated measures to try to keep pace with Rod's comic delay No guarantee of accuracy, but it kinda works. If you have corrections send them to me I'll fix it. Here it is for your dining and dancing pleasure. It's not exact, but I think it's extremely close.

Includes solos and backup. I set the metronome pretty slow so I can play along. Multiple files loaded here, as well. The first break is down the neck and straightforward. The second break is up the neck and is mostly in the chordal style. TablEdit includes no simple way to indicate retuning strings, as with Keith tuners. Thus by playing the MIDI you can hear an approximation what it sounds like to achieve melody notes by detuning and retuning a string. In my opinion this is one of the coolest effects in bluegrass banjo.

I highlighted the melody for the beginner. There's back-up on the tablEdit with banjo back-up. To view the songs choose required section on the top nav-bar A, B, C etc. County Music is a predominantly an American genre of popular music that originated in the Southern United States during the s. It is considered to be a meld of earlier "hillbilly", folk, cowboy, blues, and dance music popularised under the more general term country music.

It should be noted that many contemporary artists deliberately emulate the performance style and methods of early renditions of this music under the general heading of old-time or oldtimey music. Some of the songs have multiple versions from different transcribers reflecting variations in key used, lyrics, artist, recording, or just the transcribers opinion.

The lyrics with chords marked for playing accompaniment should be suitable for use with most chord playing instruments such as Guitar, Ukulele, Banjo or Mandolin etc.
