I am able to bend my last pinky joint backwards (with no pain to the
animal) and "barre" the three pesky strings in an A-shape barre.  
I also sometimes "help" by pressing my third finger on top of the pinky.
I do not think 
myself to be a mutant, and am pretty sure that anyone can do it.  But the
best way to play any song is the easiest way -- if it is too hard you are
doing it wrong.  So cram your fingers together if it works for you.

Yea... any songs in particular to which you'd like the chord progressions? I

And to lay this to rest once and for all -- "Rust Never Sleeps" is the
name of the ALBUM that the two "Hey Hey" songs were on... If anyone caught
the tour this album was recorded during, you'd remember that Neil did a
solo acoustic set (guitar, harmonica and cigarette-ladened voice) and then
did a second electric set, ala the Grateful Dead at Radio City Music Hall
in New York City (circa 1984-5).  Hence, the acoustic, and subsequently
electric versions of "Hey Hey, My My".

There are a couple of other good songs based on this...

"And the band played Waltzing Matilda" by Eric Bogle, recorded by The
Pogues (Rum Sodomy & The Lash I think..) among others, is a blackly
comic account of the Battle of Gallipoli, from the viewpoint of an
Aussie soldier.

"Tom Trauberts Blues (Three Sheets to the Wind in Copenhagen)" by Tom
Waits, from the album Small Change.  This has recently been covered by
Rod Stewart.  Check out the original though (coz TW is one of my heroes).

Anyway, here's a bit of what I can remember of the Aussie original...

Once a jolly swagman sat by a billabong,
Under the shade of a coolibah tree,
and he sang while he sat and he waited til his billy boiled,
Who'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me.

Swagman = thief/tramp/hobo/bum (depending on which version of English
you speak)
Billabong = a small lake
billy = kettle

I can't remember the rest of the song exactly, but I seem to recall
that this particular swagman had stolen a couple of sheep, and was
chased by a couple of members of the local constabulary, who he may or
may not have shot.  He ended up jumping in the billabong shouting
"You'll never take me alive".  

I suspect that his ghost is probably still singing "Who'll go
a-waltzing Matilda with me" as he wheels his wheelbarrow down streets
broad and narrow.... oh damn, that's a different song altogether ;-) .

Cheers,

Guy

Here's a few things I know about getting to the guitar archive at Nevada:


If you have a real-time Internet connection and a system that supports the
ftp command:

1. Issue this command at your operating system prompt:

   ftp ftp.nevada.edu

2. login as 

   anonymous

3. give your e-mail address as your password.

4. then, give this command at the ftp> prompt

   cd pub/guitar

5. To look at the contents of this directory:

    dir (or ls -C or ls -l)

   This gives you a list of the subdirectories for each band/artist.

6. First, get the index and read it off-line.

   get INDEX

7. When you want to gat a particular song, use steps 1 through 4 above, then
   go into the subdirectory of the band/artist that you want.  For example

    cd Velvet_Underground
    
    dir

8.  To get the chords for Sweet Jane, 

     get SweetJane.crd

9.  Quit the session

     bye


If you do not have a real-time Internet connection or if your doesn't system
doesn't support the ftp command, use the following instructions for ftpmail. 
These are the general instructions for using DEC's ftpmail server, customized
for the guitar archive:

1. Send mail to ftpmail@decwrl.dec.com:  On my UNIX system, it looks like this:
   
   mail ftpmail@decwrl.dec.com

2.  You can use FTPMAIL REQUEST as the subject line.  On my system:

   Subject: FTPMAIL REQUEST

3.  The body of the message should be exactly as I have it here, but with your
    email address replacing jblo@ebf.edu:

     reply jbl@ebf.edu
     connect ftp.nevada.edu
     ascii
     get pub/guitar/INDEX
     quit

     This gets you the index of the guitar archive.  It will take about a day
     for the file to be mailed to you.

 4.  To get Sweet Jane, use the following as the body of your message:

      reply jblo@ebf.edu
      connect ftp.nevada.edu
      ascii
      get pub/guitar/Velvet_Underground/SweetJane.crd
      quit

      Once again, wait a day for Sweet Jane to arrive.


Hope it helps.

When I first started playing a few years ago a friend told me to buy 
The Guitar Handbook.  It's pretty good and has a chord dictionary in the back.

But anyway, here are a few chords you should know.  I'm giving the fret
position here, you can figure out the fingering yourself.

     E  Em E7 A  Am A7 G  G7 B7 C  D  Dm D7 Dsus4 Dsus2

e    0  0  0  0  0  0  3  1  2  0  2  1  2  3     0
B    0  0  0  2  1  2  0  0  0  1  3  3  1  3     3
G    1  0  1  2  2  0  0  0  2  0  2  2  2  2     2
D    2  2  0  2  2  2  0  0  1  2  0  0  0  0     0
A    2  2  2  0  0  0  2  2  2  3  x  x  x  x     x
E    0  0  0  x  x  x  3  3  x  x  x  x  x  x     x

x = don't use this string

These are quite a few of the chords which are used.  If you want like an
F-chord, then just finger the E-chord with the last 3 fingers and use your
index finger to "barre" the rest of the strings:

   F

e  1
B  1
G  2
D  3
A  3
E  1

I hope this helps you.

     Nope, sorry. They can be real close, but it depends on what you
consider "in tune" (and I don't say that as a joke or a flame, but as
a serious problem that has been bothering musicians for many centuries).
basically, if you hit the 5th fret harmonic, you are producing a note 
that is a "pure" 5th, made by a 3/2 ratio of the wavelength. The problem
arises like this (and though this is a theoretical demonstration, the
problem is real enough):

Imagine an imaginary guitar with 13 strings instead of 6, and we'll make
them all tuned in 4ths (i.e. all strings tune the same, 5th fret of one
gives the pitch of the next one). Now you start at the bottom, tune the 
lowest string to some pitch, say E, then use the 4th fret/5th fret harmonic
to tune the next one (to A) and keep going one up, until you get to the top
strin (the 13th string) where you get back to E (many octaves up). If you
have made sure that every pair of adjacent strings is *perfectly* in tune
by those harmonics, the top E (which we'd hope would be an octave) will
NOT be in tune with the low E, it will be SHARP! This has nothing to do 
with any adjustment to the instrument (because we arent' using any frets
at all yet). If you want to make that top E in tune with the low E, that 
means you have to make those intervals in between smaller. 

Equal temperament is the approach of dividing the octave into 12 exactly
equal intervals (i.e. half steps) and using these. It turns out that 
the "tempered" 5th is flat compared to the pure 5th, the tempered 3rd is
WAY sharp (ever notice that that G# in the E chord is a bitch to get
in tune?) etc. but that is the compromise.

In practice, using harmonics to tune works fairly well, especially if
you're
playing in E or A (and most people make small adjustments without really
thinking about it, or they play slightly out of tune without really
noticing)

Hello knowledgible guitar types. I'm trying to confirm or refute a couple
of urban legends (you know, those things everybody says they did or saw or
know someone who did it or say it, though it never really happeded).

Supposedly, Jimi Hendrix was once asked, "How does it feel to be the
world's greatest guitar player?" His response was, "I don't know. Ask Eric
Clapton." 

Similarly, I was told once that when Eric Clapton was asked the same question
after Jimi Hendrix died, his response was "I'm not, Phil Keaggy is."

What I'm looking for is some source that can verify either of these two
exchanges (i.e, when, where, and to who it was said). My guess is they are
in fact urban legends, and never really happened; but I'd like proof one
way or the other. If anyone can be of some help, please email me (I'm not
real conscientious about reading this group).

Summary: Modifications to JC 120 to improve "Meat"
Newsgroups: alt.guitar
Keywords: jc120
Date: 22 Jan 93 23:14:07 GMT


I made a number of modifications to my trusty old JC120 in my quest for a more
meaty tone.  Some electrical (effects loop, new speakers) and some physical
(took hand tools to it to turn it into a head that sits atop said new
speakers).  I am willing to share information I gained with other 120
users/owner/loathers.  
Best thing to do is to take out the speakers and mount them in sealed boxes.  I
myself bought an old Marshall 4x12 w/Celestions for killer tone, but afterwards
built enclosures for my old speakers.  I intended to use them for practice PA
speakers but plugged them back into my 120 (head now) on a lark.  What a
sound!!  First off, more meat/balls/wood/low mids than I ever got from the
same components before.  Secondly, you have really got to hear that
Chorus/Vibrato in stereo!!  Open back speakers just don't cut it in the meat
dept at high volumes.
