I haven't been here in some time. It's nice to see this place is kinda alive still. It's good to see alot of regulars chiming in from time to time. I hope everyone is doing well. |

Yes, we' re alive...  But it seems to me The Cardigans forgot about their site and us...I missed their concert in Moscow last year and now I'm sure I'll never see them live. |

Hey LordH, I'm doing well, though I go on stretches of introversion about 6 months at a time. Been playing these things in America called 'open-mics' (10 performers a night, each doing about 3 songs). probably have done 30 songs in the last few months - Willie Nelson, Beatles, Cheap Trick, Originals.... I MUST do a Cardigans song soon, the only one I know well is 'Communication' but I think I'd like to learn one from Gravity or Favorite Game. |

Nice job! Sweet looking 12-string. Taylor? I've got a 1975 Alvarez, a G&L electric, and a SX modified fretless bass......but no bandmates :( That's ok, 20 years of jamming in various bands, it's alright for some solo time...though the itch remains..... |

^Thanks...GT's songs for the most part might be hard to do as acoustic cover- sure you can play basic cowboy chords and strum along but it won't sound much like the originals. I wanted to do Paralyzed but it wasn't happening :( I saw a YT vid of live Cardigans (at Tivoli?) playing the re-vamped version of explode/implode done acoustic maybe you could try that song or perhaps Live & Learn might be good solo acoustic? Good Luck! Any chance you do YT videos, got a channel? It's not a bad practice for open mic to see how you look or perform:) |

You talked me into it. Here I'm doing the Beatles. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g1EIe-j-hDc
I think I'd like to try 'Higher' off of GT. Haven't listened to SEG in a long time, so that album will be nice to re-visit. A girl drummer and I played about 5 years ago and had success with 'In The Round.' |

^That's cool, open mic nite, they're fun to do.
Hey you can sing some upper register stuff, not all guys can.
I messed around with "Higher" and found a way to play it. I use a capo 3rd fret, but the beauty of it is if you can't sing it there move capo... maybe i should just do another vid :P |
