no wonder if the jazzmaster (or is it a jaguar?) guitarist plays with his thumb like that. each to their own but it has to restrict your options. probably on a detune and playing it for that special drone.

Epic win!Originally posted by Zippy View PostListening to Tom Lehrer

I used to be able to sing The Elements from start to finish - it was a handy way of memorising the Periodic Table for A Level Chemistry
I even rewrote the last bit to include the (IIRC) three new elements that had been created since the song was originally written
I can't remember it all now though
There's Antimony Arsenic Aluminium Selenium
And Hydrogen and Oxygen and Nitrogen and Rhenium
And Nickel Neodymium Neptunium Germanium
And Iron Americium Ruthenium Uranium...
I tend to get stuck about there, although odd fragments stick in the mind:
...And Iodine and Thorium and Thulium and Thallium!
The world would be a poorer place without Tom Lehrer

When I was responsible (through no real fault of my own) for the database containing the votes in last year's Capital Awards, I was not overly surprised to find that a fair few of Mika's fans couldn't even spell his name - either that, or they wanted an inert mineral substance to get the Best Male Artist awardOriginally posted by DS23 View Postwelcome to later and welcome to mika!
