> I don't believe he has ever sang Hummingbird live WITH a guitar. he played it solo in january with guitar... bit of a different arrangement. maybe too many chords to play on guitar!

nice story... thanks for sharing

there's a "letter to wilco" thread on the Just a fan page .... looks like jeff saw it actually, here: http://forums.viachicago.org/index.php?showtopic=21729

funny this... i always play Gun with a capo on 2 and sing it lower like jeff used to at solo shows. a few hours ago, i decided to try it open and sing it high and it sounded pretty ok.... the first time i ever tried it without a capo

my faves are portland (3/9), columbia (16/9), boston (19/10), memphis (30/10) and tampa (2/11)

cause it felt alright to him...

someday soon - if you can hit the high notes.. other wise acuff rose

on my bookmark, i have: http://www.viachicago.org/main.html always works! takes you to the main menu

nothing, just continuing the tune

E-3------------ B---3-0-----0-- G-------0-2---- D-------------- A-------------- E--------------

hehehe, i love the shifty nod he gives that dude on the dvd.. one of my favourite parts

he looks just like a kid

yeah, i've noticed the little things. but playing the 3 chords over and over would be ok for a beginner

via chicago is piss easy - just D A and G over and over

hmmm, not as easy as they sound. the both have simple chords, but to play them like jeff, there's a bit hammering and pulling to do. with airline to heaven, the chords are simple.. the mail riff involves holding down the D chord while hammering on the 2bd and 4th fret of the D string.. When you wake up feeling old sounds much better when you strike the high E string on every accent.. does this make sense??.. if you look up these song titles in this forum, there should be a topic explaining how to play them... good luck

it would suprise me if jeff pulls out out towards the end of the solo tour... as a surprise yeah, great tune... catchy, hawnting, beautiful and freaky in one song

woops.. i forgot.. give me a few days..

i love it too, but wouldnt have it been much better if he sang taking a shower take another nap watching television taking a crap

the biggest difference between outtake and official would be Not for the season... nice upbeat rocking number on the demos..

yep, you are, but i forgive you that key suits my voice anyway

two threads down http://forums.viachicago.org/index.php?showtopic=15920

i play D/B as x2003x

here's a tab for hummingbird.. doodle around with every chord you know and learn about 40 more... you should get it then

no probs.. looking back at it with a guitar in front of me, the part where the E chord comes in, i usually strike the low E string once and strum the E chord twice before the D, C, B bass walkdown.. make sense? then the chords can be found on http://www.gumbopages.com

no guitar in front of me so it might be wrong but i do something like this (off the top of my head), with a Capo on 2 E--------------------------------------------- B--------------------------------------------- G------------0-0h2-0------------------------ D----------------------0h2-0----2--0-------- A-----0-2-3---------------------------3-2---- E---3---------------------------0------------- then strum an F for a bit and back to a C. repeat and away the song goes
