  1. That is a great result & some more exposure. The song is PDG as well.
  2. Shake Your Money Maker - Paul Butterfield Blues Band
  3. Marrakesh Express - Crosby, Stills & Nash
  4. This was the first time I had heard Jerry Garcia. I was 16 and watching the film Zabrisky Point. This is the Love scene music. Though he died in 1995 I continue to be inspired by Garcia. Also in the film was my favourite Pink Floyd track which occurs at the climatic end. Its a version of 'Careful with that Axe Eugene'. I was heavily into Floyd at that young age, so this movie represents a transition of musical taste for me. The music doesnt kick in until 2.25 The scream occurs at 5.00
  5. Contentment Blues - Widespread Panic
  6. I did listen. I cant see the attraction at all. Also I dont see any link to the Percy Sledge song. anyway.... China White - Little Feat (Lowell George)
  7. No. Its all different, except for the Hendrix example (that I noticed anyway) which is every string tuned down a semitone. When using an open tuning (tuned to a chord) you can use a single finger bar for a chord or use a slide. Joni Mitchels Chelsea Morning is an example of this sort of tuning in a song, but she frets certain stings and allows the others to 'drone'. Its not difficult to 'find' some altered chords to use in that way. Sounds great.
  8. No Mahesh, the cheat sheets! I used to use open C, D, G tunings as well as dropped D (there was even a tune in open Cmaj7) when I was much younger (30 years ago). I haven't bothered much since. It wears out yer strings too quick! I used to change strings every week or two back then.
  9. Many Happy Returns Mike (TapperMike). So far as I am concerned, the most musically knowledgeable member & a terrific guy into the bargain.
  10. I've never seen anything like these before.
  11. Yes I love it too. I dont see any connection though challenge
  12. Oh Wot A Dream - Kevin Ayres & The Whole World
  13. I don’t use the POD presets. I don’t even use modified ones. I built my favoured tone patch from the bottom upwards; and if I’m honest, it’s the only one I need. Like you Tim, simplicity is my watchword. I was discussing the merits of 2 or 4 knob guitars on the Gibson forum, and a fellow opined that 2 knobs was ‘worthless’. He later revised that to ‘worthless to himself’, explaining that he could only get the sound he wanted with both pickups set at different volumes. Fair enough. I’ve found the Gibson 4 knob circuit doesn’t work very well IMO. It certainly can’t blend 2 pups smoothly. Also I find it too difficult to avoid knocking switches & knobs when playing out. My tone patch EQ is optimally matched to the neck pickup with the guitar volume & tone control full on. So I keep the volume & tone full on at all times and only use the neck pickup. This means that: 1/ I don’t need a bridge pickup. 2/ I don’t need any knobs at all. 3/ I don’t even need a pickup selector switch. So my ideal custom guitar would look pretty basic. The POD takes care of the EQ, and its expression pedal gives me far easier volume control.
  14. Ahhh... you were stitched up by Rob. Great ploy; must remember that one.
  15. I'm not in London. Not sure its accurate.
