Hand wound pick-ups versus mass produced pick-ups accounts for the majority of tonal diffrence. I don't see much diffrence in fit and finish. The wood is also a contributing factor. The best grade of mahogany (or other woods) that are used today would have been trashed back in the 50's. The timber available/used today by companys (some private luthiers still have a stock pile of the good stuff) is generally farmed, cut from younger trees or from the older stumps and just doesn't measure up tonally...

This week it's Dispatch! "Bang Bang" & "The General" are some of my favorite songs by them...-Pix

After I get the songbook organized I'm going to edit the songs to include a basic strumming pattern. So if you know the one for the song you recommend feel free to add it with your post. If not I'll work them out...Thanks! -Pix

If you click on your username it will carry you to your profile page. From there, choose Personality in the box on the upper left. You'll now find a place for you to put in your "Signature" then submit and you're good to go! You can also add an avatar from that page if you like. -Pix

Well you have 3 chordians close together... You should really set up a saturday or sunday for a little jam session  Let the date be known and I'd be happy to make the 3hr. drive -Pix

The basic D C G progression works fine for the chorus where he's playing the riff from "Sweet Home Alabama" but for the verses it doesn't work all that well. In them he's playing a Warren Zevon riff from "Werewolves of london". I usually play it like this
----------------------------------------------------------------------|

-9-7--7---7-5--5-5-------------------------------------------------|
-5-5--5---3-3--3-3--5-5-7-5---------------------------------------|         
-----------------------3-3-3-3---------------------------------------|

If you look at the chords it's still basically a DCG progresion but just sounds more authentic IMO...-Pix

If you do mean steelers wheel "stuck in the middle' I did a 2 part tutorial online about a year and a hlf ago for a friend. Here's a link to the lessons part 1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WzC9hczX2_U and part 2 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6O0V_Qh9 … re=related Sorry for the poor video quality...lol this was one of the first vids I ever made when I started but it should suffice to help you pick up the song. -Pix

Hey Marcalan, I'm not sure what your running but try this... When on the song page, left click and drag over the lyrics and chords (be sure to move over and highlight the diagrams also) Then Right click and select print preview if it doesn't show the chord diagrams at first then look at the top of the page and you should have an option for it to display as selected on page. This will bring up only what you had highlighted and if you covered the chord boxes they should pop up and be printable... I do all my print outs this way as it also allows you to shrink to fit on one page or enlarge text if you have trouble reading it. Hope it helps! -Pix

Congrats! A lot of those older copys were real gems!!

Have you considered looping and playing the other instruments yourself! It's great fun!!
