I'm looking for the words to a verse in "Baby Please Don't Go" by Joe
Williams. The copy of the song I have is an old version by "THEM", Van
Morrisson's old band. The verse I need sounds like he's saying,

Fought me dog, fought me a dog
fought me a dog to get you way down here
make you walk a log, baby please don't go

This doesn't make much sense to me, but you never know. Anyone know what the
words are?

Thanks

I don't have the time to post the music, but I can give you some hints to help
you pick it out by ear. The guitarist tunes his guitar to the open E tuning
(E-B-E-G#-B-E) to get those really neat harmonics in between riffs. (12th and
7th fret harmonics on the 3 bass strings)

Also, the strumming in between lines is loosely based on the E and A chords
but played like this in open tuning:

E: --0--        A: --2--
   --0--           --0--
   --0--           --1--    (Played in this progression: E  E  EA E A E)
   --0--           --2--
   --0--           --0--
   --0--           --0--

And the chorus is loosely based on the chords B, A, and then E with the B and
the A played like this:

B: --0--        A: --0--
   --0--           --0--
   --5--           --7--    (Part of the chorus contains the strumming part of
   --5--           --7--     the first section)
   --5--           --7--
   --0--           --0--

And since I am doing my best to procastinate studying for exams, I'll post the
first few measures to help you along:

                                    E
|------0-------0--------0-----------0------
|--4h5---4p2p0--------0-------------0------
|-----------------0h1-----1-1p0-----0------   (h indicates a hammer-on;
|-------------------------------0---0------    p indicates a pull-off)
|-----------------------------------0------
|-----------------------------------0------

Keep in mind that all the tab is written in the open tuning so it won't sound
right if you pick up your guitar right away and try to play it (Unless you 
normally keep your guitar tuned to the E chord) and the general disclaimer that
I figured this out according to my own ear, so I'm not sure how reliable it is
to someone else's. Hope it helps, though and Good Luck!

This message has a few different things in it...

First off, I have been playing my guitar through a portable stereo
for almost a year now, and am going to buy a real amplifier probably
whenever within the next couple of months, or whenever I get some money,
whichever comes first...

Any recommendations of any amps (about $200-$300) which are good,
and has effects...maybe a distortion pedal, reverb, and possibly a 
digital delay?

Second, does anybody here know any chords to anything by the Violent Femmes?
More notibly, anything off of either "Violent Femmes" or "Why Do Birds Sing"

I already know the chords to "American Music" and "Do You Really Want to Hurt
Me" and am interested in  others...

Any response would be appreciated...

On the interview with Jimmy Page on the Remasters extra disk, Jimmy claims he
invented the reverse-reverb effect, if that's what you're talking about when you
say backwards guitar. Thought you might be interested.

Hey friend this is no flame but I think that the marked 'C' above should
be 'Cadd2' (i.e. you include 'D' (easiest fingering in my opinion is
the standard 'C'-chord fingering but instead of playing 'C' on the 'B'-
string you play a 'D' on the third fret. 
I also think that the verses go C G A D C G D (sus 4 / add 2 )(just fool
around here )

No hard feelings ?

Rock'n Roll to you all

One (drastic) measure that works is to get an aftermarket trem setup.
I'veplayed on one that I was totally amazed with: the Shift 2001.
I'm not sure if they are still made, but if they are I'll be getting
one for my Strat. I originally played with one of these whammys on
a friend's Strat. I guess he had the same problem as you and I do, 
so he fixed that...

Also, the two-point pivot (as oppoed to the six-screw setup) usually
has less friction, and stays in tune a bit better. 

In any case, the aftermarket parts business has already addressed
your concern...

For a long time I have wanted to build a tube guitar amp. (I

Also: I have been wondering whether anyone has designed a solid

solid state amps as good as they say they are? I have a Peavey
and, while I think it's a good amp, it isn't as good as Peavey
says it is. Most of the ads in the mags seem too good to be

In general I recommend the low cost Fenders and possibly other name brands
(don't forget Peavey, much better now, even smaller ugly logos ;-) )
compared to the other cheap brands. They're at least solidly built. The neck on
my Bradley, by comparison, is so thin it's uncomfortable. There could be
exceptions, for example I wasn't impressed at all with the neck-body junction
on a Squier Precison Bass I looked at. Also, these guitars *will* require more
set-up and adjustment than most more expensive guitars.

Maybe, but don't dismiss cheap guitars. A lot of the $1000 things that 
are so popular sound like absolute crap without distortion.

Of course, you have to build it up toward the end to lead into the
"B - Bsus" part.

I have to say something about the rhythm part.  This part is best taught
by a drummer - it's a rhythm with a name, but I'm not sure what drummers
call it.  The accents are in three's, and with the right hand strokes
alternating up and down, this means that every other accent stroke is
an up stroke except the final two which are both accents.  Most people
don't accent the up strokes and it sounds ok, but to do it right, you
gotta do the up stroke accents.  I can't emphasize too much what a
great rhythm guitar exercise this song is when done right.

Crude representation of the right hand rhythm for each chord in the
"B - Bsus" part (everyone knows how it sounds, right?):

         V ^ v A v ^ V ^ v A v ^ V  A

where:
  V = accented down stroke
  v = non-accented down stroke
  A = accented up stroke
  ^ = non-accented up stroke

Most others cut off even more. If you can get someone to find the right
capacitor(s) and increase the values you can improve the Rat. Maybe try a
distortion for bassists. The Real Tubes sound decent, although they have little
in common with real tube preamps. Maybe some rack units, digital distort or 
whatever.

Typically the bass is rolled off to avoid muddiness, but there's nothing 
about distortion that inherently eliminates bass.

Not here, but I expect a simple design is more likely to have low bass.

Its true that the Vai took lessons from Satch.  But that certainly doesn't
mean that he learned "most of his guitar expertise" from him.  Steve Vai
also went to Berklee and played in Frank Zappa's band.  I'd be willing
to bet that those experiences would have contributed as well.

Besides, its not really a matter of who teaches who, is it?  That seems
to be missing the point.  I'm mean, you either appreciate a player or
you don't.  No need to flog anyone who you just plain don't care for --
although that seems to be the most thoroughly practiced technique in
this newsgroup.

There's enough fame out there for everyone...

I read your article and was kind of surprised.  That's the first
horror story I've read of Ibanez guitars.  I mean I've heard plenty
of foks who just don't care for them, but that was the first it-fell-
apart-and-turned-into-a-hideous-demon story I've heard about Ibanez
guitars.  However, I've never owned one, so I don't/can't doubt it.

I own a Charvel 475 that is quite a nice piece of work.  But it should
be noted that Charvels are made in Japan, and so its likely that the work is
not performed by Jackson at all -- rather, it is contracted.  Although
I'm sure that Jackson, acting as an importer, has quality standards that
are applied to the Charvels.

>i bought after my KRAMER FELL APART and my friend's IBANEZ CRACKED.

What model of Kramer?  I've a Pacer Deluxe (American-made) that's performed
flawlessly for 7 years.

Change that to "nobody else but me and some other guy likes charvels" ;-)
