Gentle Giant "I Lost My Head" BBC Sight & Sound Concert, 1977
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8_37q0xjUjs
Gentle Giant's two singers (Kerry Minnear first, Derek Schulman next) have always been a cause for debate amongst GG fans, for their completely different styles. The opening few minutes sounds like Robin Hood music on 'shrooms, and then it all changes. Someone once called GG's music "Baroque & Roll". While there's no denying the amazing talent of each member and the group collectively, I've always found Schulman's voice grating. To make a comparison to another thread, he's like a human EMG pickup. The music is quite complex, and the group is as tight as anyone can get in a live performance. This song is from their 1976 album "Interview".
Congrats to New Zealand yesterday, on their convincing win over Argentina! (39 -18 final score). From the moment Skipper Richie McCaw scored the first try, there wasn't much doubt about the final outcome. A hard-fought, dominant performance!

Beamer, that analogy wins an award ... talk about vivid ... whew!

Thanks, Easybeat ...
Rugby sevens has been in place for decades in your country, and it's a more recent development here in North America. My oldest son (now 33) played full contact rugby through High School (tight head prop position), and then for a couple of years at the Provincial level. That was until some goof shoulder-tackled his right leg while it was planted, and completely blew his knee apart ... end of rugby career. The game of Sevens is a bit safer, and he'd likely still be playing if it had been around our parts back then.
It sure is fun to watch!
Great words, PR. They remind me of a line from a Marillion song called "Neverland":
"I want to be the kind of man, that any man would want to be."
Count me in!
I already have a couple of the CHORDIE "chord chart" T's in a long-sleeve and short-sleeve version. I would just love have to have a couple of these.
Totally awesome, Roger!
Wow .. what a terrific first effort! I love nature and songs / poetry about nature, and you've captured a keen observer's thoughts with this one.
They just finished the Rugby Sevens tournament at the Pan-American games, and I'm proud to announce that both of our Canadian Men's and Women's teams took the gold medals. The men had to scratch and claw their way there, but our women dominated all competition.
Thanks for the info, guys. I had never actually played one before, and these were a couple of questions that crossed my mind.
My mistake, Easybeat. The lyrics seemed to be describing a particular situation ... apologies.
Has anyone here ever had any experience with baritone guitars? I was looking at a 27" scale baritone last weekend, which the owner had tuned B > B with heavier gauge strings, a full five steps below standard tuning. He was telling me that the added length caused greater string tension, so that the lower tuning doesn't sound floppy. It sounded very cool, but probably something geared more for heavy metal / shredding ... not my cup o' tea.
I wonder what would happen if a person put standard gauge strings on a baritone guitar, and tuned it to standard tuning. Would the strings break?
Aside of the medical professionals at the Hospital, I hope y'all have some family / friends / caregivers nearby to lend a hand. You've both got a lot on your plate these days, and some support is always helpful.
Nicely constructed, Phill.
I noticed that Cdim and F#dim are shown as the same in your charts, and I've never played either chord that way. I love variations like this.
Sounds like a personal experience that caused pain, EasyBeat. Simply put, music is much more enjoyable if we don't need the approval of others for validation.
That's a great example, BGD ... thanks. The S-D Alnico II Pro's are one of my favorite pickups. I like a moderate output for the best clean sound, and would rather use amp settings, effects, etc. for higher gain needs. I also find that higher output PUPs seem to reduce the sustain ... must be the stronger magnets slowing down the string vibration sooner.
Your hippie anthem is really groovy, man, and listening to it was a real gas! Seriously ... good job! For me the ultimate Hippie Anthem is "Woodstock" by Crosby, Stills and Nash:

So we're at cattle, the most common form of grazing animal from which Anthrax can be caught.
NELA ... from one happily married man to another, it's never a bad idea to praise your wife ... but you already know that.
Here's another Epiphone endorsement. Their build quality is very good, and as long as person likes the way it plays and sounds, brand isn't an issue. I'm especially impressed with the ProBucker pickups in my EP Les Paul, which are built identically to Gibson 490's.
No worries, Tails ... I was just making an observation with my ears. Every pickup has its own "voice", and a person's preference will depend on their playing style, use of effects, type of amp, etc. I just find that most EMGs are too shrill sounding for my ears, and they stand out immediately when someone's playing a solo. In their own words:
EMG Pickups
"EMG Pickups started a revolution. Utilizing powerful ceramic magnets and close aperture coils, the tone was designed with detailed intensity, incredible amounts of high end cut and fluid sustain. Traditionally used in the bridge position, this pickup will make your leads slice right through even the densest mix. A distinctive look and sound, there's simply no mistaking EMG pickups."
That's fun stuff, Beestie!
Welcome to Chordie, Punkrawker!
Musical tastes are as varied as food tastes, i.e., we all like different things, but we all love to eat! The common bond here is music and guitars, and we probably all found Chordie while we were searching the Internet to learn more and expand our horizons. A Guild D-50 is an excellent choice of guitar, BTW!
Hope to hear from you often!
Kompendium "Lilly" 2012
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8trx9UZjzQE
Here's a track from a magnificent Celtic Prog Rock album produced by Rob Reed, founder of the Welsh prog group "Magenta". Featuring an assembly of top-notch musicians (Nick Barrett, Steve Hackett, Angharad Brinn, Nick Beggs, Gavin Harrison, etc.) the entire album is beautiful, evocative, deep, and completely engaging. It is easily one of my favorites, and this studio-done video track of "Lilly" keeps me energized with the fact great music is still being written and performed. The popular music machine will never recognize brilliance like this, but their endorsement is insignificant anyway.
Well written, well performed, and well mixed ... nice job, Phill.
Amazing how a decision like this can be absolutely reasonable yet completely illogical at the same time! MKM, I doubt there's anyone on this site that requires any lame form of excuse whatsoever for buying another guitar. You're in safe territory.
