Yes, It would appear to be a power chord. As stated above, these are just root fifth and octave and are neither major or minor. We do a version of Smoke On The Water which is G Minor to F in the verses, but the guitars just play the power chords while the bass plays a G Minor pentatonic. It caught me out the first time we did it.

The F1 bit from Fleetwood Macs' The Chain, makes a great instrumental rocker!

Smile on the water? Polaroid? I dont think I know those two!

IIRC The Fender headtock logo was replaced circa 1982 as it had worn away.

I,m just er, off to the toilet!

It needs the pickup replaced with a single coil Tele style pickup set off centre in the hole, so you can see the wires

Yes but, [u]'[font="Arial"][size="2"]It is in excellent cosmetic and sonic condition[/size][/font]'[/u] You cant argue with that!

Are You Gonna Go My Way by Kravitz. I love the intro when the first guitar starts followed by the second and then the bass high up on the top E. Lovely groove too.

[quote name='yorks5stringer' timestamp='1385999786' post='2294456'] Is MDF really MDP? [/quote] I miss reading about his 'improvement' of guitars and basses, gave me hours of fun before the basschat ban.

Theres a guitar shop in Watton, they maybe able to help.

[quote name='Pinball' timestamp='1385975064' post='2294130'] When was that Video shot then? The original must have come out in the mid seventies? [/quote] This video was Xmas 1983. You can see the drummer from the Pretenders singing along at 03:16. The original was 10 years before, 1973.

My favourite xmas indulgence is Phil Spectors over produced Christmas record. Interesting to add that he was also responsible for John Lennons' Happy xmas war is over, which was a complete rehash of Stewball with different words!!

I believe a lot of the bass was recorded by Dave Gilmour rather than Roger Waters, particularly the later stuff.

Singer wanted to do My Sharona. I thought yea easy with its octave riffing for 4 minutes. However, its a lot more complicated than I first thought as I stood there in rehearsal fumbling around like at complete prat!

The Beatles use that sequence in the opening and closing riff of "Dig A Pony"

No thanks!

Some fair points. I wish I had a website like that when I first started playing, I hadnt a clue what I was doing and just wanted to play my favourite songs which is what this site is offering, but the internet was not even thought of! Still, I think a use of the even most basic of scales serves as a roadmap to the fretboard.

Stumbled across a website and some youtube clips giving bass lessons on how to play bass, which gives the impression that learning scales are a waste of time. Unlike Scotts bass lessons, this site just shows you where to put your fingers and shows you note for note how to play a song. I think that you need to know a major, minor or a pentatonic at least!

Big blue woolly hats with the Fender logo on it!!

Its always an "Item" They are never specific about what they are selling.

What is a large boned base sound?

I was at a mates wedding a few weeks back. The band was reasonable but not mind blowing. One thing stuck in my mind though, the number of songs which I thought weren terrible a few years ago, now seem to be standards in this day and age. Billy Idol - White Wedding Mavericks - Dance The Night Away etc. Or am I a miserable git?

Wait till you play on a small stage and take a step back, knock in to one of the cymbals and take a gouge out the back of the neck like I did!
