Although I specifically try to write easy songs to play, I have heard that some drummers have a difficult time figuring out what to do with “Go Out in this World”. I had an idea this may happen when I was recording the parts… but they just sounded so fun. The drum set is a variation on your typical Bossa Nova drum beat. If you’re not sure what that is, look up some Bossa Nova drum beats and get your coffee pot ready for a long night of playing:) I also added a lot of shakers and hand drum parts to give the song a lively feel. However, this song can be played with just drum set and/or just hand drums.
As with the other songs on this album, I played the guitar parts with a capo on the 2nd fret and wrote out the chord charts for non-capo instruments. Hopefully that will make playing this song easy for all chord instruments. Additionally, take a close listen to the bass part… I recommend listening to it, because it is really just a fun octave slide part that doesn’t necessarily follow the chord progressions. I decided to just do octave slides on the “E” with a hold on the “B” at the verses. This was not only really fun to play, but it gave the entire song a great vibe. However, playing the chord progressions on the bass works too.
