Sinister: Anyone Can Play Guitar (but not like Nick Drake)
Hi All, I feel a bit naughty, as I haven't posted in half a year... I never went to the concerts so you won't hear any gushing praise from me :-(. I've been touring a play with some friends, called Raindance. It's about domestic violence so it's a bit heavy, but the soundtrack is great: 1) Eels- Climbing Up to the Moon 2) Counting Crows - Colour Blind 2) Longpigs - On and On 4) Badly Drawn Boy - The Shining Maybe not your cup of tea but I like them. I chose the Eels. After we had finished me and the girl I watch nervously from afar sat waiting for her bus. You know that feeling you get when you share Ribena with the one you love? I don't know what to do with myself, so I just came home to my music collection. All in all its a nice collection to have, a guided tour of my life in 80 CDs. I must say I quite like the new B+S single... Especially the last two tracks, and Jonathan David is growing on me. I've just finished reading Patrick Humphrie's biography of Nick Drake. Poor Nick. I've got his 3 albums, and I'm trying to learn guitar like him, but I can't play like him no matter how much I try. Mmm, just strumming for me. Speaking of biographies, I'm reading the Lives Of John Lennon by Albert Goldman. Has anyone read this? I must say it's upsetting me tremendously. I knew John was a bit nasty, but he can't have been that bad surely? Plus I dont think Mr. Goldman is very sympathetic to his subject (quite obvious when he starts to describe the Beatles as 4 little Dildo's). Oooo. I should stop reading it but I can't, I don't have will-power. Sorry to waste your time, if any of you have made it this far down my post. Has anyone any plans for a picnic in Newcastle or Durham? There has to some other B+S fans around here... Bye Bye, and I'll see you in about half a year... Luv Owen ____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Hello Sinister, I really do not have much to say about B&S other than i finally saw a video of them on M2(yeah). It wasn't a big deal since i have seen the videos. Ok it is pretty hard to play like nick drake right on, but it is not impossible to sound like him. The secret is odd ball tunings and not moving your hands around the neck alot. I know it may seem an odd way of doing things, but the simplicity, along with the great tunings make for great pop music. So the secret to those sad jazz chords is being a bit more experimental with your tunings, and finding a perfect set of chords in one area of the neck. This also makes for any good indie-pop. Oh well. Chris P. ===== www.mp3.com/sevenstars The fog and the sunlight overshadow what is really the point sometimes. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
