  1. I got to Shot in the arm, but then my sound cut out and I couldnt get it back. I was sad, but Ill get it today, so it is okay. Wonderful Idea putting it up on the internet.
  2. another thing I forgot is that it is important to keep your thumb on the 3 lowest strings, and your fingers for the top three. You need to find a pivot point to put the bottom side of your hand on, usually on the back part of the bridge, this way your hand is not floating above the strings.
  3. Ive taught quite a few people how to fingerpick, as it is the way I usually play. The best way to do it is simple repetition. Finger a regular G chord. And then play a pattern using your thumb and all three fingers of your right hand. ( Some people use the pinky, mine has always gotten in my way.) Your first pattern should be an easy one, like this (finger to use) on (string to hit) Thumb on 6th pointer on 3rd middle on 2nd ring on 1st middle on 2nd pointer on 3rd start slow and use a metronome, then slowly speed this up until you are going pretty fast. Then simply start makin
  4. Sorry for your loss, Jeff. We are here for you! Sincerely, Rob
  5. edit the song out of less than you think!!! and play the end on a loop really loud
  6. Basically you have to understand how the records work. When a record is recorded, a bass wave takes up more space in a groove than trebles. So if you want good of bass, the record needs to have less music per side. It was decided that the best length for rock music was as close to 20 minutes per side as possible. For the rap records they play in clubs ( ) 10-12 minutes is all they want on those (more bass can be put on it) So back in the day, most single albums were around 40-45 minutes. But the artists started pushing this time length with the invention of cds, and so at first they b
  7. I seriously wish that they would repress the old stuff. All of the Uncle Tupelo records, A.M., Summerteeth, and Mermaid Avenue. There are enough people that collect vinyl that would like a copy of it. Does anyone know why they never pressed Mermaid II or The live record?
  8. Ive gotten mine buying them for me now, which makes things better. I make her a list of like 25-50 records and give it to her for birthdays, christmas, whatever, and let her pick from the list. It makes a fun surprise out of my holidays, and we all know that none of us music freaks really care about much else!
  9. HAHA, I love it!! Has anyone else had to hide their records either under the seat or somewhere in the garage because they knew they wouldnt be able to get them in the house!! Vinyl collecting is a dangerous hobby, possibly even worse than collecting guitars.
  10. I Motion for this one to be called Jeff Tweedy-The Stupid Shit I Say
  11. I have a bunch of great ones from the fall 05 tour but I dont remember the dates off hand. Jeff Tweedy's gonna play you.... The whole abyss skit... when his son played drums on I'm the Man who loves you and he dedicates it to mommy There are a few more, but that tour as a whole was hilarious. If this whole music thing doesn't work out for tweedy, he could be a comedian....
  12. ipods are awesome, after owning one you will be simply unable to live without it. I have a huge music collection, which includes hundreds of live concerts and all types of stuff, and I still have a few gigs left on my 60 gig. I had a stereo put in my car that has an input jack, so I just plug it in and I can use it on the road. I used to have two three inch three ring binders, so lets just say that the ipod is easier. It is great because sometimes you might think, today I am in a miles davis mood, but when you get in the car you decide, nope its black sabbath. Makes your choice limitless.
  13. vintage guitar magazine will report it if the information is sent to them. That's a good place to find any and all guitar freaks...good luck J
  14. Musicians friend is still selling a gibson sg classic for 800. It is like a standard, except it has two p90s, the round kluson tuners, and a dot neck inlay. I know I've been jonesin' for one. Pete Townsend!
  15. One thing I've heard of some guys doing is taking a little piece of balsa wood and cutting it to the depth of the hollow body and using it to connect the top and the bottom half. The guy I knew that did this did it on an es 330, he just took the front pickup out and put it right under the bridge.
  16. the hollow body in the movie is an epiphone casino w/ p90s. he has a couple of those, and I believe a few gibson es 330's (gibson version of the epiphone) they are super cool!
  17. Does anyone have any idea as to what type of hamonica jeff tweedy uses? Also Dylan, and Neil Young. I'm assuming Hohners, but are they Marine bands, blues harps? I have a marine band, but it seems like its missing something (harmonica talent??). Just wondering if anyone else had any ideas?
