Re: multi neck guitars

Amazing pictures. I can't begin to think about how to play one of those. The thought makes me dizzy. I know people can do it, I just don't want to consider how much practice and patience it takes.

Re: multi neck guitars

In the 60's I owned a Mosrite twin neck solid body guitar with twelve strings on the top neck and six on the bottom. Both necks sounded great but the thing weighed 40 pounds. Even a wide shoulder strap had me getting numb in my left arm standing up at a four hour gig.
It was stolen from my house by a former band member.

Re: multi neck guitars

I played an old Ibanez 6-12 string once. The 12 string side played like a dream. I put it down right away. I could feel a case of GAS coming on. I didn`t even try the 6 string side. As far as a doubleneck mosrite goes. Has anyone ever seen a Moserite that wasn`t dripping with cool. No matter how many necks it has.

40 pounds! Jimminy Christmas, I bet when you played "The Weight" you knew what you were singing about. (That's a song by The Band--you probably know that . . . I like to play it cuz it's got a Bm once in ever verse line.)

You are absolutely correct, M.B. We played that song when it first came out. Nowadays I do a comedy version of it entitled "Take the Fat off my Fanny" about Nutrisystem. E-mail me if you would like the lyrics. The music is the same.

Re: multi neck guitars

I don't want the lyrics Toots.  I want to hear it!  PLEASE play that on one of the Skype calls.

Yeah, me too! I love that song "Jenny, I got your number" you do with your grandson.  YOu can send me the lyrics for your song on email, I think just click on my email thingy by my name.

BTW, Toots, I always thought the line was "Take a load off, Annie." Not, "Take a load off, Fannie!" Sounds like the punch line to a joke! Even my brother did too, and he was the one who taught me the song. I looked up the song on Wikipedia, and it said that Robbie Robertson got the name "Nazareth" from the label on his Martin guitar. (I bet you already knew that!) Now if I were to be inspired by a location on the label on my guitar it would read "Made in China"!

Hey, there might be a song in that . . .

Song In Thatby M.B.


[G] This laminate guitar


Has [Bm] come from very far,


[C] Designed in Carolina


But [D] made by kids in Indo[G]china. [G7]




                 

[C]There might be a song in that



But the [G]sound is kinda’ flat,


[C]One day I’ll get my wish:


A gui[D]tar that’s made in Naza[G]reth.

That is a great start M.B.!! - Build on that, I'd love to hear it!

Rule No. 1 - If it sounds good - it is good!

Re: multi neck guitars

Sorry M.B. I could not resist the edit to your song. Looking forward to seeing, and hearing, the finished work.

You guys are awesome!!!! Wow, a little encouragement goes a long way and really puts a smile on your face.

Here's a chorus maybe,

C

                G
But the sound is kinda’ flat
C
One day I’ll get my wish:
        D                                G
A guitar that’s made in Nazareth.


Roger, I'll learn to do a real format, thanks to your inspiration.

Re: multi neck guitars

OK so a second edit to add the chorus, and, I added a G7 to bring the chorus in smile.

M.B. If you go to your post and click on edit you will see what I have done to make your song look 'purdy'. You will notice a second {soc} (start of chorus), but this is not normal and a little gremlin made me put it there to keep the formatting true.
