Gemmill 34467 Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 He takes the thickest string off his guitar altogether, so he's down to 5 strings, and then he tunes them to an open G chord (A shape for all you CAGED system fans - I know you're out there). So now if he strums completely open strings, he's playing G major. If he completely bars the first fret, he's playing G# major. And everything stems from that. Honestly lads, it's absolutely pathetic that I'm having to take time out of my busy schedule to explain this stuff to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex 30414 Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Their early stuff is fucking class imo. Got a compilation of all their A & B sides from when they were on London records (with some of the US and UK singles having different B sides) and for a period almost everything they put out was a classic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayatollah Hermione 12767 Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 (edited) The Stones as musicians don’t seem technical geniuses on paper or anything but consider how many other bands have aped them and sounded shite, it makes you appreciate how they did it well. Obviously, there was the raft of great songs but the guitar interplay, playing what the songs needs rather than what you want to play, having an ear for hooks and an instinct when not to step over your band mate. All that sort of thing is the good musicianship you learn after you’ve learned the flashy shit. Something like Beggars Banquet sounds like a trashy blues band in a dive bar and sounds like it’s about to collapse on itself at any moment but nearly all of it is cooly performed and rehearsed. That takes some chops. Not to mention Keith Richards was off his tits on smack. They pumped out some shite as well, though Edited August 28, 2021 by Ayatollah Hermione 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkeys Fist 38768 Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 This is an insane story. Jean-Pierre Adams: Former France international dies after 39 years in coma https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/58463792 “Former France footballer Jean-Pierre Adams, who had been in a coma for 39 years, has died at the age of 73. Adams was admitted to hospital for knee surgery in March 1982 but never regained consciousness after an error with his supply of anaesthetic. Born in Senegal, the defender made more than 140 appearances for Nice and also played for Paris St-Germain. In a statement, PSG said Adams' "joie de vivre, charisma and experience commanded respect". Nice said the club would pay tribute to Adams - who won 22 caps for France between 1972-1976 - before their next home game against Monaco on 19 September. Adams also made 84 appearances for Nimes, who said they were sending their "most sincere condolences to his loved ones and his family". On the day of Adams' operation to repair a damaged tendon in his knee - suffered while on a coaching training camp - many staff at the hospital in Lyon were on strike. His operation still went ahead, with the anaesthetist looking after eight patients, including Adams, at the same time. Adams was supervised by a trainee, who later said: "I was not up to the task I was entrusted with." Between the anaesthetist and trainee, numerous errors were made, causing Adams to suffer a cardiac arrest and brain damage. It wasn't until the mid-1990s that the anaesthetist and trainee were punished - a one-month suspended sentence and a 750 euro fine. Adams was discharged from hospital after 15 months and had been cared for at home in Nimes by his wife, Bernadette, ever since. 'Remarkable devotion' Piers Edwards, BBC Sport Africa Bernadette Adams is a remarkable woman, a gentle but steely soul who never once considered turning off her husband's life support machine despite his vegetative state. For four decades, she has spent nearly every day caring for Jean-Pierre, changing his clothes, preparing his food, never forgetting to give him presents and often talking to him too. The response was of course silence from a man once described as "larger than life" (and whose skills were highly rated by German football legend Franz Beckenbauer) yet nurses reported slight mood changes on the rare occasions Bernadette went away for a night or two. I visited the Adams home in southern France in 2016 whereupon Bernadette explained the hospital had never apologised for an accident which she could not help thinking about every day.” edit; more in this CNN article https://edition.cnn.com/2016/01/04/football/football-jean-pierre-adams-coma/index.html 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
