Yep

One chord is fine.
Two you're pushing it.
Three and you're into jazz.

Hey Boxboy, I see you have a Godin guitar. How do you like it? I have a Detour, one of their low end models. Thinking about upgrading the pickups ... but otherwise it's a nicely made guitar.

Classic riff; I was thinking about doing that one. :)

Haha I know this one. However, I am going to let someone else get it.

Hey, Gabba,
The LG is a great guitar. Really good value for the money. Mine's the dual HB version with 5 way switching. The coil tap settings are pretty anemic so I just use it in HB modes. Still makes for a good 'general purpose' guitar.
Weighs a ton, though... :)

Since everyone seems to know it already, I'm kinda stumped for what clues to give. :lol:

The band's from California, but the song's about being born in a place far across America.
It was released as a B side of a single. Both the A and B sides reached #2 on the pop charts. According to Wiki, they never had a #1 hit; hard to believe.
:)

Ok, I'll step up to the plate. Is it "Born on the Bayou" by CCR?

Off a 1975 double album. I've been known to post a few riffs from this band. :oops:

Hmmm ... two very famous double albums from that year I can think of ... one was 'alive,' the other was a graffiti-strewn masterpiece.

(It's really familiar, but I need a clue about the song ... :oops: )

It's a pretty immoral & lewd song.
