  2. Indeed listened to the Turin show for the first time



    For some reason i linked your avatar to U2Nick's one. I meant that your photos looked cool. Seems like a rocking gig
  3. Greats pics all you guys glad you had a good night Sergio!

    Originally posted by EyesWithPrideB3:I think it's an odd angle depicting me barring an A chord, which makes sense. My index finger lays across the second fret, if you look closely, and I'm pretty sure the others aren't even touching the fretboard, my hand is just crooked in the shot. We don't play any songs with an F chord

    It COULD be an F#m? If you play chords for the "touch me..." bit, that is. When I had a bandy type thing going with a couple of friends, we tried doing Beautiful Day but unfortunately, my mate who was playing rhythm guitar isn't great, and I had to do lead AND sing which I can do, but on BD, to begin with I found it awkward playing Edge's riff AND singing my arse off lol, so I played barre chords until the outro when I started letting rip, making it a sort of solo bit?

    At a bandshell close to my house, in my community- some friends organized a huuuuge music festival, that ran from 4PM-10PM and housed a BUNCH of local bands. We were lucky enough to get a slot and play for about 100 people, bigger than the small parties and stuff we'd been playing. This is our first summer together, and we're all going back to school- we'll get together again next year though and hopefully start playing some bigger shows


    that's awesome!!!

    It has to be a F#m-in-proccess chord, I mean, changing from the open form of D or A chord to the 2nd-fret-barred F#m...

  6. Aha, I get you, that's indeed a possibility - I love the fact we've managed to turn the conversation from 'hey nice photos, guys!' to 'what chord is Matt playing?'
  7. Pretty sweet pictures everyone. I love the bus trip picture. How awesome to get a bunch of U2 fans on one bus!

    Matt awesome pics, where abouts was the festival? Do you guys just do covers?

There were some obvious special ones, but I must say that I remember almost all of you while I was drinking that fucking-great Irish whisky. Ohh and of course U2 sounding at full volume in the garden... yeah [/url]

    Well, a happy (belated) birthday for you then, Sergio, even if it's very late after the fact.


    Great shots, Yogi and Sergio!! Great to see you both having a great time (And Yogi, I so envy that Edge shirt...)

    Here's some shots of me at the festival my band played in a few days ago:

    Singin' your heart out there!!! Good stuff, and that's actually the first shot I've seen of you. Also, Chris...cool shot there. And for Yogi, all those fans on one bus...bet ya's all had U2 playing full pelt, singing away. So very cool, I'd love to do that one day.

    After more thought, this actually HAS to be Beautiful Day, because it was the only song I moved the mic over to my right side for, in order to be able to stomp some pedals and sing at the same time. And I play Edge's "solo" part during the "touch me" part- high up on the G & B strings.



    Out in Tinley, where I live, at a bandshell that's actually only about 5 minutes drive from the First Midwest Bank Ampitheater. And yes, this summer we dedicated to covers since virtually everyone we knew was graduating high school and we were playing all of their parties- we wanted to stick to playing things people knew to generate a general interest.

    The songs I write over on the "Songs You've Written" thread don't go to waste though- we're already talking about how we're going to work them in next summer, and try to write complete songs around my often-unfinished lyrics and guitar parts
  12. sweet stuff. let me know next time you play. maybe i'll stop by since we're practically neighbors!
