Speaking of Miami....My band Daisy Chain shared the stage with this band, Nuclear Valdez. We had the same management along with The Mavericks, Marilyn Manson, etc. back in '89 so we played with all of them. This song is simply and totally incredible and came out just about when grunge was cranking up....These guys ended back in their day jobs. What a song !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So the dreams of me getting my explorer body with the pickup routes I want is fading....
I know nothing about soapbars pickups 1 9/16 x 3 9/16" is the same route as most thunderbirds correct?
I play rock punk and jazz, sometimes in the same song. Where do I begin to look for pickups?
I’m thinking I want to be cheap too....

That would be terrifying.
I can imagine. My country-girl wife at times will try to tell a story using the dialect of some other ethnic group, from another part of the country (with no disrespect intended), and it just comes out hilarious.
Isn't that true.Hieroglyphics are the new language!
Legalizing weed was the necessary predicate for this.....
good and cheap so rarely go together...
What a beautiful cat. And I'm a dog person. The bass looks pretty good too!

I had a buddy in California who was obsessed with this band in the late 80’s. I liked them as well. I often wondered if the band name didn’t do them any favors.
Happy Sunday afternoon to my Thunderbird loving sisters and brothers. I just returned from watching the movie 1917. I thought it was an excellent movie, though admit to being a student of WWI. If you are a student of history, I commend it to your viewing.
The new drummer in the cover band I am a part of, wants to add Miss You to our set list. I have been a fan of the Rolling Stones for decades, and am happy to learn any of their songs. I am having a bit of trouble with the rhythm and timing and would appreciate any advice on how you might play it.
Have a great evening everyone.

Smarter than Derek Zoolander too.

Play along to the record over and over again until you get in the ballpark is the only thing I can think to do. It is a very cool pocket. Unique feel. I’ve heard theories about who really played bass on that track and I assumed it wasn’t Bill Wyman, but here’s something from Wikipedia
“Charlie Watts said, "A lot of those songs like 'Miss You' on 'Some Girls'... were heavily influenced by going to the discos. You can hear it in a lot of those four-to-the-floor and the Philadelphia-style drumming." For the bass part, Bill Wyman started from Preston's bass guitar on the song demo.”
selling watermelons?
nice and easy on that one...Am is a cool key cause it gives great neck access...start walking up octaves on the E string 5th position and the D string 7th position (A Aoct, B Boct, C Coct and back down to A) and then do the same thing on the A and G strings (D Doct, E Eoct and F) and that (aside from the break in F) is pretty much the foundation of that groove....you can embellish by walking further up and down the neck and adding the G Ab A triplet on the G string in the 12th position. the trick is not to rush and almost play behind the beat nice and relaxed...I'm sure YouTube has some type of tutorial on that track..GOOD LUCK and more importantly ENJOY!!
I just found out yesterday (ok, I'm always a day late on new tech), trying to learn Good Times Bad Times, found a great tutorial on YouTube (in Brazilian?), he slows down the tempo to demonstrate, and also, there is a looper app you can add to YouTube.
One would only hope and likely smarter than many in Hollywood. Several combined.
selling watermelons?
Never saw that one coming, but it's certainly well placed given the shear number of watermelons that have shown up here.
It’s a little unusual for a disco song in that Bill doesn’t come down on the one. I believe he starts on the “and” of one.
Find some footage from the Some Girls tour and watch how he approaches it.
If you’re not used to doing octave runs, practice walking up and down the neck in major and minor keys. It’s a good skill to have anyway if you play covers. People love those octave walks!
