Michael S. Jackson replied to Hoosier Picker's discussion What are your top 3 Beatle albums? in the group Beatles"Some other crap song? I got a chuckle out of that! If you want to get along in a band, you sometimes need to play the crap that some of the other members really like but you can't stand. The last band I was in insisted on doing a lot of 70s and…"

Michael S. Jackson replied to Hoosier Picker's discussion What are your top 3 Beatle albums? in the group Beatles"I know what you mean about the Beach Boys.

Michael McBride said… - My pleasure Mark. Enjoy exploring alternate tunings. My favorite right now is DADF#AD, which I believe is also called "open-D". It's close to DADGAD but has a somewhat smoother sound. Led Zep used it a lot, as did Joni. ~Michael
