I like this idea. I was actually thinking along the same lines. The abalone inlay that Jeff designed for the headstock of his signature Breedlove 000 is cool. Two bees around a flower. Get rid of the "B" for breedlove and substitute his signature. They have one for sale at www.musiciansfriend.com for only $4999.99!

Yeah Billy has a voice for the studio... and without Jimmy, they will never be the Pumpkins. Jimmy Chamberlain is one of the best drummers I have ever heard/seen... ever. That's kind of too bad. Hopefully not because of the drugs again.

Cool!... thanks. I give 'em a listen.

I feel like I can contribute one more name (these guys got most of the great ones already) Son House... Death Letter Blues... wow.

I'm double dipping here... I forget "Indifference of Heaven" Warren Zevon.

No worries... different strokes, right? I'm with you on "It's Not Dark Yet"

Randy Newman last year up in Waukegan. I am a big fan of him, but was expecting little, as my wife and I, no spring chickens in our mid-thirties ourselves, were the youngest people there by a long-shot. It was us and a bunch of 60 somethings. That sounds bad as I read it, but you probably know what I mean. Anyway, he was so entertaining and sharp musically and funny; I was blown away. At least as blown away as you can be while sitting at a concert. Randy is the freakin' man!

Wow... so many. Off the top of my head... A Day in the Life... The Beatles Hallelujah... Jeff Buckley (easy one) P.S You Rock My World... Eels I Know I'll Never Leave... The Zutons Not sure why, but Acuff-Rose always got me a little

I agree with this. Although this album has all of the personal turmoil surrounding it, and is fantastic, I would start elsewhere. My favorite of his albums is Daisies of the Galaxy. I would start there. Maybe a little less melancholy. Electro-Shock Blues is so sad, and really doesn't let up until PS You Rock My World. Daisies has an air of healing... if that makes sense. Good Luck. Great music. Great lyrics.

That'd be great. Thanks in advance for the effort.

I think it's obvious... but most definitely reverse-engineered by the Pentagon using alien technology developed to stop Charles Nelson Riley from spreading the use of scarves and ascots to the masses. Circle take the square!

Nope. The Nazca lines were built by the natives FOR the aliens... duh. The aliens built Charles Nelson Riley.

Does anybody have the guitar solo for this tabbed? Much appreciated.

Guest DJ Mikael Jorgensen...FYI. Haven't listened to it yet, but it just became available.

I'll have to order those online. That sounds like something to try. They don't stock them at where I am.

Are those the ones with the high gauge low-end and the lighter high-end? If so, that may be a win-win, keep the boom of the low-end and sharpen up the high-end. I may give those a try next. The boom on the dread is awesome, don't get me wrong, but those heavy gauge high-ends on the Martin Phosphur Heavy set were too thick and clunky and not much power. I needed a change. I like these Marquis a lot, but I'm sure the search will continue.

^^^^^^^^^^ doesn't matter, but what I meant was between 3 and 4 years, not three quarters of a year. It has been bothering me since I wrote it. Still not that long, but... poor sentence construction. I've been working these strings out for like 5 hours straight. Still like them a lot. A little rubbery, but responsive. I do have another question regarding strings... does anybody know what kind of strings Tweedy uses primarily?

OK... first of all... these are the wierdest strings I have ever played. They are almost elastic. A little like the nylon strings. They have a much sharper (I hate to say tinny, cuz it's not really that) sound than the phosphur and definitely not as nice and warm. They are also a little bit sensitive if they are attacked to agressively because of the flexibility and may fret buzz... But they have most definitely solved the intense low-end problem and evened the sound out across the board. Hovever, I relinquish the deutchebank title for the GC string counter manager that helped me pick ou

Thanks for the welcome. Yeah, man, ditto. I joined for the tabs too. Fun board otherwise too. This is the first and only message board that I have ever joined. Still trying to learn some of the subtleties of posting and responding. I've been yelled at already a few times . Other than that, there seem to be some real smart, kind, helpful folks here who all share a love for my favorite band. Ditto. I started playing the week that my first was born, because I was locked in the house and was pretty much up all night too. That was 3 weeks after my 30th birthday as well, and has become t

Thank you. I will be heading to my local, giant, corporate-run music store, in the short term, to give these a go.

Does your Martin do the same? I am not complaining at all about this guitar, the sound makes most everything else sound like a toy, but the low end is so intense! So, bright bonze? DiAddario brand for that as well? I think part of the problem is that I do not use a pick. I do everything fingerstyle, and those high end strings on the heavy Phosphur Bronze are pretty thick.

This section of the board has been so helpful, I thought I may exploit it further. I am self-taught, been playing for only 3/4 years, and really only have the deutchebanks at Guitar Center for advice Sooo... I bought myself a Martin HD-28 for Christmas, and have been using Martin's Phospur Bronze Heavy gauge strings. They sound great, BUT, the bass on them (and the Martin) is so unbelievable, that with many Wilco/Tweedy songs (drop D, etc.) the low end just swallows up the rest of the higher strings at times. Any recommendations on strings that would be IDEAL for Tweedy/WIlco songs
