Hi there, before i ask what i need to, i want to say thanks again to
everyone involved in this online rembetika community. If it wasnt for
you guys, my playing would be nowhere.
Quick question: does anyone know what dromo is used in Dios Manges Mes
Sti Filaki? Or at least someone has a vague idea?
A very easy way to play it on trichordo is D Ousak with "chords" like
that (tablature):
003 - 031 or 001 for first line (Dm - Cm)
333 - 444 for scnd line (F - Fdičse)
Melody can thus be played with strumming of the 2 lower open strings
The result can be something like that: http://youtube.com/watch?v=r7I1gbsq_uc - sorry for the self-avertisement ;-)

Thanks.
"sti filaki" means "in the jail-house" as long as I know....In fact I
don't know what "slammer" means... (my dictionnary neither), my
english is perfectible
filaki is the same root as in "prophylaxia" (I've read you like
etymology...)
thank you guys for all the help!
but i'm still having a bit of trouble with the song.
Kriko, your version works well, but the 001 part doesnt seem right to
me...
also, im having trouble figuring out the melody for the part G G#. it
seems to almost leave ousak for a few bars!
if anyone has any tips i would appreciate them!
thank you all!

I think you're right for the GG%part ("ton aera na tou paroun"), it's
not Usak anymore, I'd say it's a Sabah (in D in the DmCm version, in E
in the Em Dm version, in C on the original) (or a part of another
dromo, doesn't matter in fact)
It happens often that the dromos changes in the song, in the chorus
for exemple
the 001 is not a "real" chord (D-A-D%), the "real" chord is more 031,
but I think it sounds OK although. perhaps because in these old songs,
tonal harmony is not that important since this is some kind of modal
music, and it's almost possible to play the same chord throughout the
song: if you listen the first song of the "walrus site"
http://www.spectacularopticals.com/Argile_Mou_yiati_Sveneis.mp3, the
guitar plays always the 3 same notes.
(I don't know if you see what I mean, hard to explain clearly)
On which instrument do you play it? some version a easier on certain
instruments, the EmDm (Fabian Filipoussi's) is the better on guitar it
think
I play it on guitar and trichordo bouzouki.
I've been using the Em Dm one that Fabian gave, but I would like to
learn yours, its just that the "chords" you give don't settle very
well with my ear yet.
Until then the way i play it when i sing with it is i play the melody
on the bottom string while using the top two as a drone, which is good
enough for playing it/showing off i guess.
thanks for the help though! i will post a tab of my version soon just
for people to see!
