First Night Nerves original - Better Place.

Recorded on a MacBook Pro with PhotoBooth, Christopher Wood on guitar and Miss Hayley Fisher on vocals...

Burt the cat was a HUGE Thin Lizzy fan! And the best fucking cat in the world!

R.I.P. little pal

In open E (though tuned down slightly). It's EBEG#BE.

Believe it or not, this song was the first time Eddie had ever picked up a slide. Not bad f...

E string is tuned down to D and then it's capoed at the second fret.

This is the version from Midnight Special in '73.

An explanation of the chords. Not for beginners.

Capoed up to the second fret.

There are a thousand ways to play this. This version seems to get the job done.

Here's an explanation of the chords for Ramble On -- at least, my arrangement of it.

I've seen him play with in a bunch of different keys. This is a live one from 1974, and I think he tunes his E string down to D. I didn't, though.

From the BBC in '71.

From the BBC in '71. There's a second guitar playing with a capo, but this is Cat's part.

I tuned the high E string down to D, but I don't think they did that. I did it mostly to cover sloppy picking.

This is the BBC version from 1971.

From the BBC in 1971.

Tuning is EEEEBE, although it's tuned down a step or two. Hard for me to hear what he's doing during the guitar breaks, so I kind of winged it.

Tuned to CCCCGC -- or thereabouts.

Had a bunch of requests for this one.

Capo on the 2nd fret. It kind of needs Phil Spector's wall-of-sound production, but since he's in jail....

There's an explanation of the chords after the song ends. This is one of the guitar parts. I'll try to post the other one.

There's an acoustic guitar buried deep in the mix, my favorite part of the song.

This is just Stevie with Waddy Wachtel on acoustic. I put a capo at the second fret.

In open E (but tuned down a little): EBEG#BE

This is "Song For Jenny" by Ed Bruce from episode 113 of Hee Haw in 1970. Reminds me of my wife, Jennifer.
