Most of 'em go in for > big retro-lookin' semi-hollows-- Rickies, Gretsches and Gibson 335's, y'know." M. Godwin: "Fenders? Unusual for the 60s? 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" Mike, I wasn't saying that Fenders weren't common with '60's artists-- just that they're not SO common with today's (non-'60's, probably my own tender age) retro-identified artists. Strats especially have never really gone out of vogue, but the "off-brands" I named above kinda disappeared after the '60's. Therefore they're more "'60's specific", and a lotta self-consciously retro-minded artists choose them for that reason alone (the '80's Rickenbacker contingent, Oasis and their Gretsch thing, etc.)... there ARE just "genre" guitars, y'know. Anyone else sick of the US Indie/lo-fi street-cred thing for ersatz Fenders (Jags, Mustangs, Jazzmasters, etc)? A Mustang won't make you Kurt Cobain. And Glen says: "maybe he uses fenders for the same reason i use fenders: they are comfortable and they sound great. fenders are not as heavy as some of the other guitars (especially les pauls) out there. i never wanted to have anything as heavy as a les paul around my neck for an entire gig. i also found that strats and teles fit my body much better than the other guitars." Well, this is all personal. I like lots of records with Strats on 'em (duh), but can't get them to sound good to save my life, so I steer clear. I like a big solid piece of tree myself, but can't abide Les Pauls for a completely different reason (feel uncomfortable with an instrument that has historically served as a penis extension). As you point out, it's what feels good to you. Provided you have the money to go through lots of guitars... Wrapping up Robyn and Fenders: I think Robyn doesn't care, really. He's probably less scared of Fenders (image-wise) than any number of latter-day Britpop poseurs because he REMEMBERS the '60's and the preponderance of Leo F.'s progeny amongst its shining stars, as detailed by Mike (although it's a stretch to think of Robyn being influenced by Steve Winwood). Rex, who plays a Rickenbacker 610 12-string and his dad's heavy-ass '78 woodgrain Tele Deluxe with double humbuckers. (Because I know you care.) PS-- to tell you how far I've sunk, I now have the new records by Britain's Bluetones and America's Superdrag (got 'em both REAL cheap, so don't hurl stones), and there's something positively eerie about the similarities between their packaging. Both are cleverly designed to look like '60s LP's. Both have bogus "side 1, side 2" track listings (the Bluetones even include the sound of the stylus rising and dropping between the appropriate tracks). Both have '60's -looking black and white photos of the respective bands in the studio on the inside. Both bands have mop-top haircuts in said photos. Both bands are also depicted with semi-hollow Rickenbacker guitars and semi-hollow Gibson basses. Both records are utterly disposible, but sound pretty good.

I've got a pretty good ear, and usually I can change tuning in only a handful of seconds. You learn to arrange your songs so that you only have to retune one, or at most two strings each time. So you'd play standard, then dropped D, then top & bottom D, then open D (or open E, by using a capo). Or the other way around. Try looking at the playing order of Robyn's songs, he might just do the same thing...

I'm certain that the song is in C and the opening chord is C (with a possible (add9). I'm also *pretty* cartain that it only really sounds right in open C tuning, viz: EGCGCE If nothing else, that's the only way to get the intro sounding just so. I'm still struggling with a couple of the chords, but the shapes are not unlike: C/G - 300000 C(add9) - 000020 F - x20201 FM7 - 120200 ? - x32020 ? - x02020 (I haven't even worked out what those marked '?' are all about, but it's only a starting point...)

No, it's not a big green car that looks like the one John Steed drove in "The Avengers", it's an average sized off-white and black guitar that looks like the one Robyn Hitchcock is holding on the back of "BSDR" (except mine says Bentley Series 10 and his says Telecaster :)). Could not tell you its vintage, but Bentley appears to be a veteran to me- maybe late 70s/early 80s manufacture? I bought him used, so I don't know for sure, as he had been through a few different hands before he found a home with me. He is quite a punchy fellow and sounds good with my amp (a late 60s/early 70s model Hilgen. Can anyone tell me anything about Hilgen? I'd never heard of them before I bought the amp). People who own much nicer guitars always want to borrow him from me for some unknown reason :).

Besides there has been no Prince for a few years now. I refer to him as Symbol Guy since I don't know how to pronounce that symbol he uses. While I think his work has been somewhat uneven since 1990 or so I really like the last couple of things he released. I think 'The Gold Experience' is the best thing he's done since 'Sign O The Times' and his latest, 'Chaos and Disorder', is another really good release. Maybe you haven't heard his recent stuff? If you have - oh well - we disagree. If you haven't you should give it a try - particularly 'The Gold Experience'. Huge success has frequently IMHO changed many artists and the calibre of their music has suffered but I also think there are many exceptions. I look at Neil Young and Peter Gabriel as two of these exceptions.

Fegs, This is my understanding of the RH connection with this movie. Apparently Tom Hanks & Jonathon Demme solicited several songwriters to come up with the title song for their movie, "That Thing You Do." It looks like nothing that RH submitted (if he even did) was used in the film. I do not believe that he would be singing or performing for the film, just supplying a written composition.
