  1. EDIT - just noticed the double post there...
  2. I don't mind changing strings, as long as I have the time to do so. Every time that I change the strings and clean, whatever else, I feel that the guitar is just a better piece of equipment. Every time that I adjust something, it gets a little bit better, which makes it worth the trouble. I'm lucky enough to be able to make frequent visits to my local music shop and pick up single packages, which makes the financial burden less of a monster.
  3. Might as well ask here since it's a U2 Gear Q&A - when Bono played harmonica in Desire, does anyone know the type it was, like a C or whatever it is - and a tab for it?

    Hohner Blues Harps are the Make and model harmonice that Bono uses.

    A FLAT = DESIRE
    B = TRIP THROUGH YOUR WIRES
    B FLAT
    D FLAT = RUNNING TO STAND STILL
    F SHARP
    E FLAT

  5. Jeff, that picture... I've never seen it before, me-likey

    Also, sad news...I've packed up my guitar gear for the next month I'm going away to college, and I'm not sure if I'll have room/use for it in m y dorm room just yet- going to wait until my first trip home in September to see if I trek the acoustic back up with me. I'm sure I will end up doing it, but it's going to be a sad, sad month. No electric until probably Christmas break, unless I play someone elses or come home for a long weekend and feel the urge.

    Piccy was from... If memory serves... I scanned that from the back cover of a Love Town era issue of Propaganda.

    And take a guitar to school for Fecks Cake! Otherwise you will have no alternative or distraction but TO DO your homework.

    It's not a matter of not wanting to, I just have no feel for my room or where I can keep it without it getting hurt. I'm sure there will be a place for it, but this is my first semester on campus- I just want to make sure I'll have what I need there for the first month. It's a sacrifice I'm not excited, but willing, to make to make sure that my guitar's safe & sound

  11. I think those are the same type of harmonicas Bruce Springsteen uses.


  12. If it is a good acoustic it is almost the same thing, playingwise that is.
