Do they also list the appropriate tunings?
-
Id really like to hear her acoustic demos she's done for the last 3 albums.She talks about them in some interviews..just her voice and a guitar and a world of emotion and storytelling.
-
I quickly wanted to add that,i know now people talk about how slick the production is on nevermind.But back when it first came out and i was that young you dont even know what production is,you just have a natural response to it.Now as im much older i can understand what people are talking about,but it's no more produced than any other top 10 album,from u2 to greenday to smashing pumpkins.....

I would say nirvana-nevermind.That album literally changed my whole world.I was 13 when it came out and up to that point i didnt really pay any attention to music.I was just listening to music that was on the radio and what my parents were playing,which was nothing noteworthy.I just remember it was christmas of 91' and my cousin got a few cd's for christmas,ones that he did not want.So instead of keeping them he went and exchanged them and the 2 cd's he bought were nirvana-nevermind and metallica-black album.Once i heard nirvana it really opened me up to a whole new world.I really didnt even r

I threw the album out the window after the first 3 songs and then went on a killing spree smashing anything i could...i could not believe and still cant believe people actually think this is good music.probably the single most overrated album in history.Is he all out of song's? Or is he playing that let's turn into an idie myth game....
-
i was only being mean in response to someone else i thought was attacking me.
-
How about no that's not what i did you douche bag! The fucker does not want to work.Do you know how much of an asshole you are?
-
Can anybody please help me with this.It's really frustrating.
-
im sure the song that took it's place is just as good if not better.In tweedy we trust! I wouldnt be surprised if it turned up as a b-side.
-
So i just went out and bought the dvd and now i cant even get access to the fucking place where i can download the songs off of the dvd.Anybody else have this problem? This pisses me off after spending $20 of my hard earned money.
-
Dash 7 i think might just be my favorite wilco song.I put that song on one of my mixes and i find myself pressing repeat.It's such a great song and it just has this whole vibe about it...cant really explain it othe than i love it.
-
Thank you so very much.It is much appreciated!
-
Last but not least the one who is probably the most well known for using alternate tunings...Joni Mitchell.Her tunings are just crazy..also ani difranco uses some cool ones.
-
here's a cool tuning ive been playing with.. DE>(DOWN)DGBD,EBEGBE,GBDAAD,EBEAC#E,DADGCE... Mark Kozelek from the red house painters is like the second coming of nick drake.He uses some wacked out tunings.If you go to blue guitar,or just type it in youll find some tabs and tunings of his stuff.Simply amazing! I love the adventure in their playing.you never know what to expect.
-
I dont think the production on nevermind is at all bad,yes it's slick as hell just as anyother major label band's album.Are you telling me that none of wilco's albums are slick? Or the decemberists? Hell yes they are,if they were not then you wouldnt hear them on the radio.Production is all relative.The fact is kurt could write one hell of a song! He came around when we really needed him around.
-
Just as nirvana(kurt) took their influences(pixies) and did their own spin on it, wilco has also done the same damn thing.It's not like tweedy and co. are doing things that have never been done.You can totally tell their influences as they wear them on their sleeve loud and clear.
-
Im glad i found this.Thanks guys!
-
any comment on this? Im sure tweedy know's his song's better than anyone else and now we just have to figure out what song's use the dadaad.
-
Found it! Tweedy may not consider himself a full-blooded country or folk musician, but one important element of both genres has always been central to his music: the acoustic guitar. "I've written one song on the piano in my life," he says. "And that was all on the white keys. I've written everything else on acoustic guitar." As the distinctive sonorities on several Yankee Hotel Foxtrot songs demonstrate, Tweedy, who favors vintage Gibson J-45's and Martin 0-18's, likes his altered tunings. "About half the new record is either in D A D F A D [open D minor--GWA Ed.] or D A D A A D," he not

By far the most underated songwriter today would have to be ALEJANDRO ESCOVEDO!
-
your an amazing photographer! Great pics! The Jeff headshot pic is honestly one of the best pictures ive ever seen of him.
-
I remember reading jeff say in an older issue of acoustic guitar world that alot of the songs off of YHF were in alternate tuning yet the tabs i see on here are mostly in standard.I know he listed daddad and dadaad as used alot on the recordings saying that if the chord sounded weird it was probably in one of those tunings.Any explanation?
-
thank you brianne,i've seen the diagrams but just wanted to see some live pics of his kit or him behind the kit.Thanks for the help.
-
Does anyone have any good pics of glenn's drum setup? Any good live photos?
-
i have the sessions and they are awesome.I also have other townes show's.one of the best ever is the vpro session where he talks about the songs and then plays them acoustic.Awesome!!!!
