First time ever GB play acoustic in Sitia at the town square .
Although Brian and I have done acoustic sets as a duo over the years this will be the first performance with the rest of the guys unplugged ,featuring Stefanos on lead guitar and Nikos on kajon .Last nights rehearsal was amazing .The gig starts at 8,30 and will also feature Boston born flautist Cindy Scholl and a variety of other local talent.

Re: Coated Strings on an Electric? (9 replies, posted in Electric)
Yeah I have elixir on my Tele they have been on 2 years and I can't bring my self to change them.I thought they were causing excessive fret wear but it hasn't got any worse.I have gives this guitar regularly over this period and it still sounds the same as it did once the strings settled.

Re: Rosie (4 replies, posted in Songwriting)
Further to Dinos comment maybe use a capo then the same three chords become three different ones, example E major played with the capo on the third fret becomes G major this may help to get in the same key as your voice if you need to .Also try a lighter pick the strum pattern sounds a little heavy .Well done with the lyrics ,will you publish it on here ?

Something a bit different now from what I've been posting ,Wrote this for the band as a loose blues jam that we can improvise over Its a bit of a funky Hendrixesque thing .
Evolution – Revolution

Bass walk up E to A through out
E7#9 funky Hendrix type rhythm
Sittin here waitin for some action
on my own cant get no reaction
don’t know why theres no satisfaction
might as well go join another faction
Chorus x2
Ad lib using these phrases
You cant see just what’s in store
you cant see the future
you cant see what’s in store
might be revolution
might be evolution
From the south there’s a warm wind blowin
in the north I bet that its snowing
in the mountains there’s a dark cloud growing
in the valley, rivers overflowing.
Chorus x2
Ad lib using these phrases
You cant see just what’s in store
you cant see the future
you cant see what’s in store
might be revolution
might be evolution
I keep on talkin but you don’t hear me
Tho my words all come out clearly
now and again you just say really
pay some attention then you can feel me
Chorus x2 solo and ad lib
