Theremin Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 And I'm sure that it will come back around. In my experience, things are cyclical, and at some point I'm really gonna get turned on by the guitar again and want to make a record that's a full-on skronk-fest, with me, Nels and Pat doing the triple-guitar attack.

worldrecordplayer Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 "We want to transport people. Because it's a beautiful thing to be able to have music take you somewhere." Mission accomplished, I'd say. But keep it going guys. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sweet Papa Crimbo Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 For starters, certainly it's a challenge for me to fit into some of the songs and be part of the so-called orchestra. But I find that satisfying, because I enjoy playing what I might term "potentially classic" songs. Periodically, I step back and say, Wow, I'm participating in something that I think really holds up in the annals of songwriting and rock and roll. And that's a great thing. Nels gets it.

Central Scrutinizer Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Haven't been on the board much in some time, and this was likely posted elsewhere, but what's with Jeff and the Hummingbird Jumbo with "Bob" on it. I had never seen him play a jumbo but now he's frequently shown with that and a Rickenbacker.[Edit: Nevermind, comes up in the interview. Still he says he's had it for years, but haven't seen it on stage much] Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Central Scrutinizer Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 As a writing tool there's no point in me using anything other than an acoustic unless I'm wanting to shake myself out of some kind of rut and play something where I have no idea what's happening. Jeff says that like it would be a bad thing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
williamblanda Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Here's a little bit of info on Jeff's Rickenbacker. http://www.chicagomusicexchange.net/blog/2011/02/09/jeff-tweedy-and-his-1966-rickenbacker-365-fireglo/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jff Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Here's a little bit of info on Jeff's Rickenbacker. http://www.chicagomu...er-365-fireglo/ That model never appealed to me the way other Ricenbackers do. I like the pointier ones, whcih goes against my taste in guitars, in general. Is this the first Ric Tweedy's used in Wilco? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cam Jones Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 This made me laugh for no real good reason. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
