I've recently posated a few Open D tabs: Not for the Season Simple Twist of Fate Radio Cure

Pat playing one:

I agree. That sounds excatly right. I will edit the tab/chord sheet above.

Here is SJBE in that odd tuning (Stills uses it for Carry On, as well - if memory serves): SUITE: JUDY BLUE EYES- Crosby, Stills and Nash TUNING: E E E E B E (D D D D A D also works) INTRO: (strum the whole thing, check record for the timing) E E(no5) E(no3) E(no5)E(no3) E -7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-6-5--4--0-4--0-0-0-0-0---4-0-0-0-0-0------ B -9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-8-7--5--0-5--0-2p0-2p0---5-0-2p0-2p0------ E -0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0--0--0-0--0-0-0-0-0---0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-- (repeat) E -0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0--0--0-0--0-0-0-0-0---0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-- E -------------------------------------------

I have never 'connected' with the electric guitar as an instrument. I am obsessed with the acoustic guitar, of course. But after watching Wilco on ACL, Nels sure rips the crap out of that Jazzmaster. Got my GAS juices flowing.... On a related note, I never likes SG's either. The thought of those garish horns made me think of teenagers at Guitar Center hammering out Black Sabbith riffs ad naseum. But Jeff made it look cool, no? Pat's Tele's were neat, too. Love the white w/ RW fingerboard.... How much is Bush giving me in refunds???

I give it to you. This section has never sounded exactly right to my ear either, but I have not found a better alternative. My solution? I cheat. I mute the strings at the D chord (by laying index finger across the nut) then slide into the G. A decent approximation, IMHO. If anyone else has a suggestion, I am all ears (forgive the pun).

Here is my current list: 2006 Santa Cruz D-12 2006 Taylor GSKSe 2005 Gibson J-45RW 2004 Gibson SJ-200 2004 Taylor 855e L30 1970 Gibson Dove My GAS is mostly satisfied, but I would love a Martin or another SCGC.

I am going to be optimistic and hope that it turns kids onto playing the real thing.

Here is 'Dreams'. Found one that was close and I cleaned it up. The Outro is wrong - I just repeated the bridge for simplicity. Enjoy! (Was I)In Your Dreams - Wilco / JT Standard Tuning Intro: C E Am D C G e|--------------|----------|-------------|---------------|-----------|------ B|--1-----1-----|-------0--|--1------1---|-------------3-|-------1---|------ G|--0-------0---|-0h1---1--|--2--0h2-----|-----0h2-0h2-2-|---------0-|------ x2 D|--2-1/2-----2-|-2--------|-------------|---0-----------|-2-1/2-----|-0---- A|--3-----------|-2--------|-----------0-|---------------|

My favorite LP's mentioned are Nashville Skyline, Meddle and Animals. I guess it is debateable if these are 'underrated'. Sure, classic rock radio has never played a track from them, but I imagine most music fans with a decent amount of taster will have heard - and appreciated them.

I was thinking of picking up some Wilco vinyl - but I want to pay more in the 10 dollar range for used vinyl. Where is a good place to find it? Anyone have any thoughts?

Another Open D beauty. Chords and riff are deceptively simple. Tough part is getting the 'feel' of the song. For the 'D' Chord, I play it severly muted (although there really is no chord here, just Glen keeping time). But for us Living Room Players, this is not an option. So, I like to lay my index across the nut for this, then slide rock-star style into the G & A chords. Same trick as 'Pot Kettle Black' and 'Cant Stand It' Usual disclaimers apply. Enjoy! Not for the Season - Jeff Tweedy (solo) [ Open D - D A D F# A D (no capo) ] Main riff: D ------------------- A ------------0-

I didn't like any Wilco record the first spin - including YHF. But the second spin I started to 'get it'. Third spin - hooked. Fourth time around I was addicted.

Here is JT w/ one:

How about: Meddle (1971) Dark Side of the Moon (1973) Wish You Were Here (1975) Animals (1977 The Wall (1979) [ Obscured by Clouds doesn't count - soundtrack. ] BTW, Meddle and Animals are my favorite from that list. Must own LPs IMHO.

I heard that sound/play nice - once you get used to the crazy big necks/nuts. http://www.provide.net/~cfh/gibson6.html I still want one! (GAS is a nasty beast!)

Tough call, but I'll offer by blasphemy thusly: YHF BT AGIB ST SBS AM

Oh, I guess it doesn't matter. I was fooling around with this song today, and I think it sounds good (solo acoustic) w/o the violin solo if you play the intro kinda like this: Capo 5 -|-----0---------0--0----0---------------0---------0-------0-------------| -|--1--1---------1--0----0-------0--1----1---------1--0----0---------0---| -|--2--2----0h2--2--0----0-------0--2----2----0h2--2--0----0---------0---| -|--2--2---------2--2----2--0h2--2--2----2---------2--2----2----0h2--2---| -|--0--0------------2----2----------0----0------------2----2---------2---| -|-----------------------------------

Anyone have a tab for this?

Here is the best version of this song, IMHO: Simple Twist of Fate - Bob Dylan Open D (D-A-d-f#-a-d') Capo II or Open E (E-B-e-g#-b-e') No Capo Chords: E 054000 Emaj7 044000 E7 034000 A 020120 Am xx5450 B(ii) x42000 A' 020100 (Aadd9) B11 x02120 B11' x02100 (B7add11) E They sat together in the park Emaj7 As the evening sky grew dark, E7 She looked at him and he felt a spark A A' tingle to his bones. Am 'Twas then he felt alone E B(ii) A A' and wished that he'd gone straight E B11 B11' E And watched out for a simple twist of fate. They

Thanks for the kind words. For more Open D fun, slap a capo at 2 (which makes Open E) and play Dylan's Blood on the Tracks LP - most tunes are Open E. Here is a non-Wilco tune in Open D that is pretty cool: Artist: Nick Drake Song : One Of These Things First TUNING DADF#AD capo 2nd fret Main riff: |------|------|------|------| |------|------|------|------| |--0---|--1---|--3---|--2--1| |--0---|--0---|--0---|--0--0| |-0-000|-2-222|-4-444|-3--2-| |0-----|0-----|0-----|0--0--| r timiti notes: 1. the last note of 000 or 222 etc is very often omitted throughout the song. 2. dur

My favorits since Y2K: 1. Wilco - YHF 2. Ryan Adams - Cold Roses 3. Bright Eyes - I'm Wide Awake It's Morning 4. Iron & Wine - Our Endless Numbered Days 5. Gillian Welch - Soul Journey 6. Bruce Springsteen - Devils & Dust 7. Wilco - A Ghost Is Born 8. Jeff Tweedy - Sunken Treasure: Live in the Pacific NW 9. Ryan Adams - Gold 10. Sufjan Stevens- Illinoise

The Gibby kicks ass (and is north of 5 G, no?). The others blow.

Gillian Welch - Soul Journey 4. Iron & Wine - Our Endless Numbered Days 5. Old 97's - Drag It Up 6. Ryan Adams - Cold Roses 7. Sublime - 40 oz to Feedom 8. Reel Big Fish - Turn That Radio Off 9.
