Sparky Guitar - The Full Song Index...
I have a little bonus for you all... I keep a spreadsheet of all of the songs I've covered. After 173 songs it gets hard to keep track of them all!It tracks my progress against the 5 basic phases each song goes through... First I tab out the song, then I record it, then I create the main Youtube Video, then create the video with on-screen tab... and finally I publish the song on the website and share it with you on Patreon. The old songs didn't follow that 5 step process so this shows me all of the gaps I need to fill in.So - I thought ...

Berlin Chair - You Am I

They're one of those bands that could have been massive if they got the right break - or sold out and become commercial.

News from Sparky’s Workshop
I’ve always wanted a Bigsby… it’s such a lovely and gentle sound - but much more importantly they make guitars look beautiful! I originally decided to try a Bigsby with a Vibramate … which is a base plate that allows you to add a Bigsby without any drilling - by anchoring to your original tailpiece studs. Unfortunately that didn’t work. This 1976 ES335 was originally a trapezoid tailpiece and someone converted it to a stop-tailpiece at some point. Problem is they didn’t put it in the correct place - it’s out by about half an inch....
