... renewed my faith in modern music, and inspired me with it's mesmerizing songs and sonic landscapes... a true world unto itself. ... struck a blow for art over commerce. Take that Warner's

Judging by the tone, playing style, and chops it's more than likely Nels Cline playing on this one... or a good Nels impersonator . On the Thin Lizzyesque harmony parts it sound like all 3 guitarists are playing.

There's been some good one's mentioned. Here's a few I'd say are quite sad or tear inducing: "Here Comes a Regular" - The Replacements "I Think it's Going to Rain Today" - Randy Newman "Waiting Around to Die" - Townes Van Zandt "Goodbye" - Steve Earle (or Emmylou's version) "This Woman's Work" - Kate Bush "Body's in Trouble" - Mary Margaret O'Hara "Pass in Time" - Beth Orton w/Terry Callier "Sylvia Plath" - Peter Laughner "I am the Cosmos" - Chris Bell "Walking on a Wire" - Richard & Linda Thompson "At My Window Sad and Lonely" - Wilco & Billy Bragg "Orphan Girl" - Gillian Welch

Goose Creek Symphony - s/t (1970)

Just finished this the other day. I liked his conversational prose style. The book was a bit light on any indepth analysis, and came off a bit Hornbyesque at times, nonetheless it had some funny moments: the part where he talks about which CD you use to cut your drugs determing whether you're an addict or not was pretty classic. About a 1/4 of my way through this. It's an interesting read for any fans of this great Aussie band.

I'm not sure if it's as good as his previous collection "Assorted Fire Events," but it's a strong collection so far.

I haven't seen the film in a while, but I recall it being a Martin guitar. Not sure the model though, maybe a D-18 or something like that.

Thanks! I thought it looked like an L.R. Baggs model in the picture, but I wasn't sure. I'm looking at getting a new acoustic pickup, and was looking at the Fishmann REP101 single-coil, I'll have to check the L.R. Baggs out too.

Does anyone know what kind of pickup Jeff uses on his acoustics?

Nashville tuning is still standard tuning (E, A, D, G, B, E), just different octaves, so the capo thing wouldn't work in this case.

I bought a Hohner Chrometta 8 years ago--I think it was after seeing Stevie Wonder play something similar--but I always end up playing a standard harmonica most times (probably 'cause I'm not that proficient on the instrument). I can see the advantages of this harmonica as far as getting the in-between notes that a standard diatonic type harmonica can't without bending notes.

D'Addario sells a set of "Nashville Tuning" strings if you're looking for a cheaper way to make a set. It's a bit cheaper than getting the individual strings. Here's the actual name of the set: D'Addario Phosphor Bronze - Nashville Tuning (10-27) EJ38H

As far as 'Amp Simulators' go, this one is pretty great. Nothing can replace a tube amp/mic combination, but for those times you need to record quietly, this little unit does an awesome job. It has a nice variety of amp sounds (Classic Vox's, Fender's, Marshall's, Mesa's, Roland...) and allows a lot of room to tweak the sounds of each of those. The effects selection, though not huge, does boast some nice sounding ones (Tremelo, Chorus, Delay, Leslie Speaker, Flanger...). I think I like the old Fender Amp sounds best. If you're looking for something to use for recording, that has a variet

If nothing else, this list might come in handy for insurance purposes . ELECTRIC GUITARS: Gibson ES-335 Fender Stratocaster Hondo Revival (My first guitar. Got this around 1983 I believe) ACOUSTIC GUITARS: Norman 12-String Acoustic Charvel 6-String Acoustic AMPS: Fender - Twin Peavey - Backstage Plus Line6 - Pod SansAmp - Guitar (the old stomp box version with the dip switches) SansAmp - Bass EFFECTS (I usually plug right into the Twin, so most of these effects sit idle): MXR - phase 100 Ibanez - TS9 Tube Screamer Boss - Octave OC-2 Boss - Analog Delay DM-3 Snarling Dogs Wah Ped

My one suggestion would be to make sure you have the right key harmonica for the given song. Depending on the song, and type of sound you're going for, the key of the harmonica isn't always identical to the key of the song. Sunken Treasure is in the key of D I believe, so depending on the type of playing on it (it's been awhile since I heard this so I can't recall) you may need one of the following Harmonicas: Straight Harp = D Harmonica (good fot folky Neil Young type playing and probably the one Jeff uses on this one) Cross Harp = G (good for bluesy pentatonic type notes) Slant Hr

I guess if anyone was going to appreciate this TAB, it would be someone with your username

RADIO CURE Tuning (low to high): D, A, D, A, D, E Fingerpick (or pick w/fingers)

I already posted the TAB for this last week. See a few threads below.

This one's by request. I just picked up the bass to learn this one (I even had to tune it because its been sitting around unplayed for a few months). I always liked the bassline on this one. When the bass kicks in at the start of the song, it really makes its presence felt. It's a nice melodic--Paul McCartneyesque--bassline that helps propel the song. I'm not going to TAB out the whole song, but hopefully this will be enough to get you started HANDSHAKE DRUGS Guitar intro: D (xx0232) G (320033) F (133211) G-------------|-------------------------|--------------------
