While I am on the Open D kick, here is a cleaned up & condensed version of PKB based upon the solo Living Room Show. Wilco - Pot Kettle Black [ Open D - D A D F# A D (no capo) ] Riff: (can be played as Verse chords, as well as plain barres) D G D D |---------------------------------------------------------------------| A |---------------------------------------------------------------------| F#|---------------------------------------------------------------------| D |---------------------------------------------------------------------| A |--9---9---9--9--9--10---9---9

This is based upon The Dude's ("the rug really tied the room together, man!") tab / chord. I stripped off the the tabs, leads and notes to make a concise chord-based sheet for easy solo guitar playing. The ususual disclaimers apply. Enjoy! Wilco - Radio Cure [ Open D - D A D F# A D (no capo) ] Intro: E ( x4 ) D ( x2 ) 1st Verse: D A Cheer up honey I hope you can A\E D There is something wrong with me A E My mind is filled with silvery stars D A Honey kisses clouds of love D E Shoulders shrugging off D ( x2 ) 2nd Verse: D A Cheer up hone

My gusses: (L to R) 1. Gibson J-45 2. Martin D-18-12 3. Gibson B-25 4. Santa Cruz 000 5. Santa Cruz? Breedlove? 6. Gibson J-45

I miss when Mtv was relevant. I miss videos. Am I alone?

What songs are on it? I might have a few of them collected.

Yeah, I saw this (OC Register is my local paper). Ben Wener is a good critic. Knowledgable and usually right on the mark.

Drums: "The Real Me" - The Who Bass: "One Trick Pony" - Paul Simon Electric Guitar: "Since I've Been Lovin' You" - Led Zeppelin Acoustic Guitar: "Don't Think Twice, It's Alright" - Bob Dylan Keys: "Low Spark of High Heel Boys" - Traffic Vocals: "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes" - CSN Pedal Steel: "One of These Days" - Pink Floyd

Here is my compilation of solo MoB: Muzzle of Bees - Capo 5 (2 sounds good, too), Drop D [Riff 1]: --2p0--2--0h2---2- -----3---------3--- ------------------- ------------------- (improvise around this) [ x2 ] ------------------- -0-------0--------- [A] There's a random painted highway [G] [Riff 1] And a muzzle of bees [A] My sleeves have come unstitched [G] [Riff 1] x2 From climbing your tree [G] And dogs laugh, some say they're barking [Riff 1] I don't think they're mean [G] Some people get so frightened [Riff 1] x2 Of the fences in between [A] A

Yes, if buzzing, then the string is too close to the frets. Make screw come out and increase the action a tad.

Here is my compilation of this tune: I Am Trying To Break Your Heart - Wilco/JT Capo: 2 Intro: A Asus2 A Em D ( or D7 ) x4 A Asus2 A Em D I am an American aquarium drinker A Asus2 A Em D I assassin down the avenue A Asus2 A Em D I'm hiding out in the big city blinking A Asus2 A Em D What was I thinking when I let go of you? Interlude: A Asus2 A Em D A Asus2 A Em D Let's forget about the tongue-tied lightning A Asus2 A Em D Let's undress just like cross-eyed strangers A Asus2 A Em D This is not a joke, so please stop smiling A Asus2 A Em D

If you have the notorious 'adjustable saddle' of the mid-60's Epi/Gibby, that is a tricky beast (and a tone sucker, IMHO). If you cannot get the screws to achieve a good height, ypu may need a neck reset and/or new nut. My advice? go to a goos luthier for a proper overall setup. Check out www.frets.com for some good setup tips. Also, if you want to get the guitar to sound really good, have the luthier replace the bridge (and screws) with a traditional one. It will greatly improve the sound. That is if you are not sentimental about keeping orininal parts. I have a 1970 Gibson Dove with t

Just listend to AGIB today, and this one stuck out for me: Dm When the devil came Am He was not red Bb F Bb He was chrome, and he said F Bb Come with me

Here is one of my favorite tunes from BT. It is a fun song to play (especially solo acousic) becuase of the walking bass lines (up & down). Red-Eyed and Blue - Wilco Intro: A* x2 A* We've got solid-state technology F#m F#m maj7 Tapes on the floor A6 A6/F A6/F# A6/G And some songs we can't afford to play D Dm But when we came here today Fm Em All I wanted to say A* Is how much I miss you A6 A6/G* A6/F#* A6/F* Alcohol and cotton balls A6 A6/F A6/F# A6/G And some drugs we can't afford on the way D Dm But when we came here today Fm Em We al

Very good choices.

There's a fortune inside your head When all you touch turns to lead You think you might just crawl back in bed With the fortune inside your head ... There's bourbon on the breath Of the singer you love so much He takes all his words from the books That you don't read anyway ... His goal in life was to be an echo The type of sound that floats around and then back down Like a feather But in the deep chrome canyons of the loudest Manhattans No one could hear him Or anything ... I am looking forward Toward the shadows tracing bones Our faces stitched and sewing Our houses hemmed into h

Thought I'd share this fun little tune. Again, the tabs below are really just themes that should be improvised around, IMHO. Corrections, feedback, etc. welcome, of course.

After playing this a few days, I am throwing in some bass notes with my thumb (pinch) during the hammer-ons - gives a more full sound... Thanks for the tips. BTW, what other Open G Wilco/JT/UT songs are there? I have been obsessed with this alt-tuning for a while and would like more fodder.

Here is a video of the song. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p4qCqg5Cgns Feel free to improvise around the themes presented above. A song never sounds good until you make it your own.

A sunburst should not be on a JM; save that for a strat. A JM should be a bit campy. My vote:
