Whispers or Screams (well, the first verse and chorus at least) Intro: [G] [Am] [F] [C] [G] [Am] [F] [C] Verse: Now you

Okay, wrong key, but right chord relationships! Here's the first verse and chorus of Puzzle Heart: I think I found the [D]piece The piece of my [Em]puzzle heart I lost it when we [G]fell apart Yester[D]day [Dsus4] [D] I got down on my knees I took the other [Em]99 But until now I could [G]never find the one that rolled a[D]way [Dsus4] [D] I found [bm]it when I was [A]sweeping up [G]all our broken dreams And I [bm]put in a [A]little box and [G]hid it carefully But [bm]on this sunny [A]Sunday after[G]noon I finally start To put [D]back the pieces [A] of my puzzle [D]heart [Dsus4] [D]

You know, I wrote out the chords for California because I thought the progression was so interesting. I know I have it at home, so I'll track it down and post it. Puzzle heart goes something like this: Verse (I can't remember any of the lyrics): I now my heart's laid [E]out on the table before my [F#m]eyes Pieces every color shape and [A]size It's only missing [E]you And so on Chorus (I really don't remember any of the lyrics): And I [C#m]hope this letter finds you solving [A] Puzzles of your own Making [C#m]sense of all the good and bad times [A] you and I have known If you [

My girlfriend and I are fans of the show Top Chef and we celebrated our anniversary by going to Tom Colicchio's restaurant, Craft. As we were walking in, "My Darling" was playing on the sound system. After a few minutes at the bar, we were seated and, over the din, I could pick out "Via Chicago!" Two Summerteeth songs on the playlist? It was a nice addition to a really fabulous meal.

If you're not itching to get someting tomorrow, you should try lurking on ebay for a couple months. I picked up a lap steel like the one below for $70 or so, which is about what one of those Rogue lap steels cost: http://www.umanovguitars.com/store/details...t=660&path= Of course, mine isn't nearly in as nice condition and there was no case included, but the pickup is to die for.

Hey, let's start a Wilco coverband!

There's a lot of good info on Weber's speaker page: http://www.webervst.com/sptalk.html Speaking of which, why don't you just call or email Ted Weber and ask him? Tell him about the amp you're working on and the sound you're looking for (or if you just want the classic sound of that amp) and he'll direct you to one of his line. I've never spoken to him (I bought my weber on ebay), but he's apparently quite responsive. I think I read somewhere that for fender deluxes he doesn't recommend alnico, but he might recommend that for the smaller fenders (I think the original little amps might ha

I will actually agree with both of you. To record a track, Pro Tools is pretty easy. The problem is that, as soon as you open up Pro Tools, you're immediately struck by how insanely powerful the thing is and how much you could potentially do if you knew what the hell you were doing. So you try to do something complicated and you're scrambling around the interwebs to find out how to do that trick that everyone else seems to already know how to do. Watching my engineer friends who earn their living on Pro Tools is humbling. But, yes, you'll want a book. Work that into the price of you

Well, I'm not exactly sure what part you're talking about (maybe you could hum it for us), but the acoustic guitar part (it's not a slide guitar, just a guitar played with slides -- um, if that makes sense) in the very last eight bars or so of the song will sound suspiciously like this: 1..+.....+.....+.....+.....2..+.....+.....+.....+...... e-/10-------------5-----6--|-/8--------------3-----5--| B--------------------------|--------------------------| G-/10-------------5-----7--|-/9--------------3-----5--| D--------------------------|--------------------------| A--------------------------|

Paul McCartney faked his death and is still alive somewhere.

Yeah, I'm sorry we couldn't get everyone in there this time. Two people couldn't show at the last minute (missed you guys) so we would have had 7 people on Saturday. Sundays worked for me, but we wouldn't have had a drummer or bass. It's all a balancing act. Hey, if you want to host a Wilco Jam at your place, I'll show up. Traffic is so awful these days that driving to the South Bay on a weeknight is kinda rough, but I could swing it if I had enough notice.

You know, I had a camera in my bag and I totally forgot to use it. There was also the capability to record the whole thing on CD-R, but we didn't do that either. So, basically, there is virtually no documentation that the jam ever took place. Anyway, at its height, there were 5 people there including a drummer and a violinist (who kind of showed us all up by nailing the parts to Jesus Etc.) and three guitarists (who switched off between acoustic, electric, bass,and keyboards). Andy and Marko handled the vocals, and because of them, we were able to tell where the hell we were in the song;

Hey thanks Andy! I'm glad you had a good time. I certainly did, too. Indeed, thanks to everyone who showed up and jammed! It was a pretty rad gig. I hope we can do it again sometime.

Come on over; we're here right now!

Today!

Check you email. I just forwarded Anthonyc007's tabs for the songs. I hope they help!

Tomorrow! Oh, and that totally sucks about your job.

I hope you feel better (I'll be bummed as hell, too, if you can't make it). The room we got is pretty big so you can stake out a corner and not worry about infecting us. Anyway, we got the room for a while, so you can sleep in and show up a little late. As is viachicago tradition, I'm sending out some wellness vibes.

Two days to go!

I have no experience with this guitar, but it's come up a few times on tdpri.com http://www.tdpri.com/forum/bad-dog-cafe/31...ker-p-36-a.html http://www.tdpri.com/forum/telecaster-disc...-flycaster.html http://www.tdpri.com/forum/telecaster-disc...xperiences.html You can find more if you search for parker or p-36. I hope this helps.

All the Rage by Elvis Costello holds a special place in my heart: The twitching impulses to speak your mind I'll lend you my microscope and maybe you will find it Is it in that ugly place that's just behind your face Where you keep my picture still despite the fact that you had me replaced? Say "Goodbye" Baby can't you act your age? You know why I'm going to give it to you straight Although I'll never be Unhappy as you want me to be Still it's all the rage I'll probably play along Left to my own devices Spare me the drone of your advice The sins of garter and gin Confession may delay You

Okay, we've also got a place -- Amp Rehearsal Studio in North Hollywood in Studio 5, downstairs. At least a couple of us will be there at 10, but we've got the space for a while, so show up when you can. PM me and I'll give you my cell number in case you get lost or need us to open the door or whatever. Thanks!

Me too. It's interesting, this show has to be one of my favorites, and is one of the favorites of a lot of people on here it seems, but I got the show from a music blog (who shall remain nameless -- unless some one asks) that posted it to say how awful the show was because Jay overplayed and was generally kind of a jerk and didn't get the songs and no one seemed like they were having any fun. The blog contrasted the show with another at the Fillmore SF during the Being There tour where everyone seemed to be having a good time and Jay was more in his element. I think the Grant Park show h

Matt Costa's guitarist was using one of those when I saw him at an in-store at a record store in Long Beach. Awesome tone (it also helped that he's an awesome guitarist). He had a bunch of really great boutique items including a Fulltone Tape Echo, which also sounded amazing, and a custom shop tele . I think a couple of weeks later all his gear was stolen -- a real shame.

Okay, we are booked for Amp Rehearsal Studio in North Hollywood on Saturday, October 4th. I'll be there at 10, but we'll have the room for several hours, so show up when you can. The drummer will be there at 11. Amp Rehearsal Studio 5259 Lankershim Blvd North Hollywood, CA 91601 Located north of the 134 and east of the 170 in the San Fernando Valley. We'll be in Studio 5, which is downstairs. We should have a bass amp, keyboard amp, a Fender Twin Reverb, and a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe if you want to leave your amps at home. So we've got a setlist and a place to rock-out; I think we
