Didn't the Professor come up with a way to recharge batteries to keep their radio running? Maybe you could apply the same technology (wasn't it Gilligan peddling on a crude bike attached to a generator of some kind?) to power your iPod, or your disc player. Or maybe someone has come up with a solar-powered iPod charger. If not, there's an idea for some of you aspiring inventors out there...

Hell, the battery life on my ipod nanny only goes a day or two anyways. Or do we get docking stations too in this scenario cause if not I'd just get blind drunk and build a ship from the empties.

Ok...I'll bite: Gino Washington Out of this World comp on Norton. This one's got everything, from maulers like "Baby Be Mine" to maybe my favorite ballad ever (with some of the best lead guitar I'll ever hear), "Around the Town," to knock-out novelties that are better than should be allowed (once again, with amazing lead guitar), "Do the Frog." But I might change my mind in a bit. Hear Are the Sonics is giving me the evil eye for not picking it...

I'd drink the swill out of that washed up bottle, put my nano inside, cast it out to sea & run off with the natives because the records are still at home & zombies don't like the taste of vinyl.

Yeah, baby, yeah! Thats the everlasting power of my oh so beloved Columbus O-hi-O! Thank you Lost Soul!! Lost Soul said:

Destroy Oh Boy!

I'll ditch the iPod scenario and stick with the tried and tested desert island disc. Off the top of my head with something approximating 20 seconds of thought I'd go for Destroy Oh Boy!

I couldn't have said it better myself... oh wait ah minute - I kinda did. nah, just joshin' (joking for those that rock out elsewheres) no, right fucking on! uh, yeah i been ah drinkin'! Dave H said:

For link wray i's say ' Commanche' and for the kinks ' You Really Got Me'

IMHO, Link's "Rumble" and the Kinks' "All Day and All of the Night". For that matter, just learn it all. Play along to your records (you can cheat by grabbing some online tabs, but be forewarned, they all are usually wrong in some way or another). If you don't want to waste time playing "stupid and boring stuff" then don't play stupid and boring stuff. Truth is, the best players know their scales enough to forget them. Not all the scales, just the major and blues scales -- don't want to scare you ; )

I've used a squire 15w a few times for a good punk sound, but those little tube fender champs sound way better, havent heard those little vox's, I tried a a small gretsch 5w tube the other day and it wasnt bad, its meant for blues but with my jag it was more punk, could be good for recording, but not loud enough with a brick handed drummer jailbird said:

I have two words for anyone who doubts the 5 watt amp - Vox DA5. This little bastard amp has kept my playing just fine for me- loud and clear, and when miked, it really lights shit up.

well, there is like 3 ways to play an E7 and I know three ways to play an E9. It's just the fact that you have to do a little work to get the right sound. hey, I sound like a lazy guitar player! lol But no, when you add in all those variations and there's several chords going on it can take a minute to figure out. I get bored of that after a while and just make my own music... But it's cool to see all that great stuff on that site. Shake Revard said:

"wish it had some notes on if they should be barre chords, etc.
seems you have to toy with them..."


yeah, sometimes an "e" isn't a normal first position chord (i guess that's correct terminology) or barre chord. it might be some weird variation like an E7 or E9.

Good luck!

yes...webrock.free.fr is cool but it can't help me finding how to play an E or and A in this or that piece of music. Generally for me is not a problem finding what chords play in a piece. but i play them ALL in a barrè style cause is the only one i know.

yeah. that's the best source i've found too. wish it had some notes on if they should be barre chords, etc. seems you have to toy with them... great stuff for oblivian/gories fans fo sho. Shake Revard said:

Forgive my belated reply:
I wish that when I'd started learning to play guitar, there'd been some Link Wray tab book available. It seems criminal there still isn't one around.
I recommend the Chuck Berry tab book published by Hal Leonard. The 50s Decade series tab books by Hal Leonard are also cool. They tipped me off to different chord positions that I was unfamiliar with.

Finally, here's a good online tab resource for garagepunk and related genres.

yeah. let me get back to you later. got stuff to do b4 work. something i can tell you fast. Look at Koppers' page. He's got a slide show and one pic has "how to play punk." it's a joke but that will help you. Johnny Ramone played 99% of everything w/one Barrechord shape. for a solo he would just play one of a few of the strings by themselves w/out moving his whole hand! amazing how simple can sound so wonderful. also you tube Ramones you can find other people playing Ramones songs and that will help. it's not difficult. songs like Loudmouth have like 4 different chord changes tho. croatoa said:

yeah. "different voicings" means different sound pitchs. You mix them (chords; ways of playing the same chords) up, and you have a larger arsenal (more sounds) to pick from. It doesn't matter how much you know. It's what YOU like and what sounds good to YOU. Listen to the Velvet Underground. Very simple but it was the way Lou Reed played. Same with the stooges - very simple chord(s) but it was the way Ron Asheton played which is more difficult than just know a bunch of chords. Bo Diddley is amazing for that stuff on the 5th fret. he just pops his finger up and down. The same with the Kinks you get that jumping sound. Play that same stuff fast and break it up with the jumping sound
and you got the Ramones. Play Barre Chords up and dwn the neck and you got Nirvana. It's all style. Forgive my laymans terms as I am self taught except thru other street musicians...

yeah when i listen to the velvet underground, the stooges, the ramones i fell the difference by ear...but i don't know the technics to obtain the different sounds...and the tab in the web generally they're not complete or correct. do you know somewhere where i can find good tab (written like they REALLY played the piece)???

Anyone heard this yet? I'm halfway through the album and so far, quite impressed. Generally by album 3, most bands have either:
1.shot their wad and putzed out or
2. polished up and now sound way too commercial
So far Ive heard none of the above here, although I am sad that the Hunches are bowing out. My spidey senses tell me this will land on many best of lists for '09 and its only January fer chrissakes!

Hey GANG!

I'm helping Voodoo Rhythm Records mogul Reverend Beatman find a booking agent in the USA. We're looking to do a couple of weeks of shows on the East and West Coasts. Maybe you know someone who knows the art of booking and is amazing at it and would love to work with some Primitive Blues Trash combo.

Please contact me with your reply!
