Hmmm, I thought I was getting it! I *definitely* hear C as the opening chord (as opposed to Em7), and from the pain in my fingers, I think the 6th string is tuned to F -- a tuning I've never messed with before, but it's falling into place. For the most part, I've worked out the chords a note at a time, from Rob's arpeggios, rather than trying to anticipate what they "should" be. I get: C Heliotrope my love F She moves through the heavens Fmaj7 (F bass) Her petals all around her dial C Csumpinorudder (the bass is A#) Her shadow follows her Gmutant (see below) It looks like a "7" And I'm as loaded as a gun She worships the sun She worships the sun I said now She worships the sun The mutant G (soon to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology) Gmut ---------------- | | | | | | ---------------- X O | | | | ---------------- O | | | O | ---------------- Use X if I'm write about the F tuning, O if I'm wrong. This one won't hurt you, but try switching to Fmaj7-Fbass quickly. You'll see what I mean about the bass. More chords coming tomorrow, I guess. I don't have much to do musically, now that my band's been torn asunder by stupid ethnic nationalism. Maybe I'll learn chord theory.

Hey, kids, rock and roll! Glen sez: "I know of a band called Free Beer. Their posters announce: "Free Beer, Friday, 7pm at Eponymous Theatre" Of course, several people turn out to hear what usually is a very interesting show, however disappointed they may be to know that they have been duped." Well, this may be more West Virginian than most of you can relate to (Mountain Stage afficiandos excepted), but my dad always regretted not having named his band "Live Bait" as it would have afforded him ever so much free local advertising. It would also have been a far too kinky and Feggy name for his general Kingston Trio ethos, but what the hell... his band's actual name, Thunderhill, always sounded kinda proggy or metal-y to me, but he predated both of those musical attrocities, so I've always let him get away with it, and am now the "official" bassist for said semi-defunct band... The Immortal BQ sayeth: "Rex: (on figuring out "Y&O": These revelations were divinely inspired by the >Beautiful Queen. Truman: I hardly think so. I'm not a good enough guitar player to have worked that one out! Thank you anyway, though :)." Yeah, but we were talking when I figured it out-- hence divine inspiration. Also, on "Heliotrope"-- it uses some exquisitely fucked-up tuning system. At McCabe's last year, Robyn said that he always had to do it at the beginning or end of any given set, due to the re-tuning involved, so don't be too hard on yourself. Terry asks for a couple of tabs, incl. "Acid Bird". Some have remarked upon its similarity to "Vibrating", but my reading of it owes more "V"'s fellow "GoF" track "Chinese Bones". Without going into details, the primary chord figure (bastard power "B") is: X24400 When you go to an "A" chord, just go to "XO44OO". Basic Robyn (although P. Buck, who plays on "Chinese", is equally enamored of this voicing, cf. "Turn You Inside Out"). Move the whole thing up to the 7th fret, open up the low E-string and call it an "E" and you've got the signature chord to innumerable other Hitchcock tunes ("Cynthia Mask", "Mr. Rock'n'Roll", etc.). (Again, cf. Buck, "Second Guessing" etc.)... Other signature Robyn: F# with open B and high E strings (Lysander, DeCherico, BQ, etc.)... and of course, folk "D" with relevant Byrdsy/Whosy suspensions. Again, probably old news. Anachronistically yours, Rex ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 30 Sep 1996 21:40:10 -0700 (PDT) From: Flushing Sure Beats Brushing Subject: Re: i love starting rumors!!

Well, people are actually now asking about Robyn tech stuff!!! After just having sent a bunch af shit about Robyn's habitual voicings, I didn't think anyone would care about his gear, but here's what was originally an off-list dissertation on Robyn's gear, in my admittedly pitiful experience at his live shows (thanks to Chris, who made me write it): Hmmm... Well, the (95) McCabe's show was the only time I've ever gotten a good look (at Robyn's, no Plaster Caster-related pun intended :), rig), and that was him solo, sans band, so it might differ in band settings. Here's what I know: 1) The Chorus pedal. It's the same Boss chorus pedal (baby blue) that everyone, including me, has. I didn't get a good look at the settings. 2) The Amp. 'Twas indeed a Fender Twin Reverb. I've seen lots of 'em and this one looked a more like my own than most (knob style, big metal struts to prop it up, etc.) so I'll tell you this: mine is a '78 (nb. Soft Boys vintage) which came with monstrously heavy-duty JBL speakers (scary orange behemoths) which I sometimes exchange for less belligerent speakers. Totally tubular; getting more and more expensive to replace parts on this baby (thank God for the former Soviet military)... 3) The distortion. Didn't see an outboard box. At a later show (Alligator Lounge, LA, 96) where I didn't see the gear, he seemed to use an overdrive indigenous to his amp. The overdrive on my Twin sounds shite, so I dunno if he had a different amp then or not. 4) The guitars. a) Robyn is usually pictured with a standard-issue Tele (e.g. photos on "Element") and that's what he told Musician magazine he was playing circa "Globe of Frogs". Sounds like a Tele on most of his records, IMHO. (He also told Musician that he wasn't using any chorus at the time, but he has before and since, obviously.) b)When I've seen him play, chronologically: i)On the Perspex tour, he had a shiny new black Strat and a black Rickenbacker 12-string. Never known him to play Ricky 6-strings, though, but he had a different red-sunburst Ricky in the "SYTYIL" video, probably a 12 (it is on the song, anyhow). ii)At McCabe's, (last year) he had what looked like the same old standard Tele from "Element". iii)At the Alligator Lounge early this year, he was back to (the same?) black Strat. That's it. iv) You want accoustic details? He's had the same anonymous-looking pickguard-less six-string for ages (see the "Madonna" video and the first two shows above). However, at the Alligator Lounge (March 19 '96-- my 25th Birthday) he had a Martin dreadnaught-- D-36 at a guess? (nb. someone has mentioned this Martin since I originally wrote this) -- and claimed to have owned it for eight years, but you know Robyn's stage patter. v) Early Soft Boys photos have him with a Strat. He doesn't get photographed with guitars too often, so this is mostly guesswork. I've always been surprised by his affinity for Fenders-- it's not a bad thing, just unusual for an artist so identified with a retro-'60's sound. Most of 'em go in for big retro-lookin' semi-hollows-- Rickies, Gretsches and Gibson 335's, y'know. Okay, back to the present tense: Jeffrey says: "anyways, this year (oh crap, my speaker just blew out!)" That sucks! " there is a show at the croc with john doe (isn't he of xtc fame?)" WHAT!?!?!? X and XTC are VASTLY diffrent animals! " and minus 5. i have been told that minus 5 is a side project with mr. buck and mr. mccaughey (however it is spelled). i am hopeful that robyn will make an appearance. anybody have some inside dirt?" Mr. McCaughey? Kevn McKinney? Matthew McCaughnehy? I'm lost! Re: Open "D" vs. "drop-D" tunings: "Y&O" and "QE2" (the bonus track, not the oceanliner) both clearly employ "drop-D" tunings. On "Heliotrope" live, I distinctly remember Robyn detuning his whole guitar (a much more involved process-- see my previous post)-- implying that it's either an open "D" tuning or something even weirder. Go for it. Re: the Queen's perplexingly resonant comments comparing Prince to the late Jim Ellison: Prolificity (?) is a crutch in itself. Dare ya to do "Robyn IS Prince" in the manner of "The Kinks ARE the Relplacements". But I digress. It's more a question of being prolific in public. I wouldn't even know Mssr. Ellison WAS the LATE Mssr. Ellison if I didn't happen to work with a certain native Chicagonista. The question is impossibly complex. Hope we can hash it out in person. Nick's deal is: "1) I read somewhere that RH often uses open tunings (once an old folkie..). Has anyone kept track of which tunings he prefers and which songs benefit from them?" I personally think that this is at the root of Robyn's abandonment of the "band" format. He can now use whatever tuning he sees fit, without having to "present" to the bassist to keep everything together. This on the heels of my own having just played a "reunion" gig with my former bassist and having to "present" all night just to preserve the flow. Glen sez: "I have seen him play a Martin acoustic onstage and in video clips. In San Francisco in 1992, he played an electric 12-string by some company of which I had never heard. It seems to me the name was a German or Dutch name beginning with an 'H' (not Hofner). At his in-store apperance at a record store on Haight Street the next day, I remember him playing a Yamaha acoustic 6-string and a 12-string acoustic that might have been an Epiphone. Sorry if my memory is foggy." Mostly covered above, but vis-a-vis the 12-string... perhaps the same Epiphone Bard that my father and I have both coincidentally owned at 30-year intervals? Would never have known if I hadn't found some certain photos during my last visit to the WV... Rex Pour la Belle Reine: Meme qu'aujourd'hui c'est aussi demain... peut-etre aujourd'hui?

Tell that to Clarence White, James Burton, Jimi Hendrix, Hank B Marvin (red Strat), Syd Barrett (Tele with mirrors), Steve Winwood (icky pale green Tele), etc, etc The prototype Telecaster goes back as far as 1948 (when it was called the Broadcaster) and the Strat came in in about 1954.
