on eddies guitar, why does he play it in drop d? i have absolutely no idea...it seems perfectly fine to play it in standard, almost even easier because the f chord during the chorus is right below the b flat chord. i dont know, just seems kind of useless. maybe im just playing it wrong.

I sometimes wonder why there isn't a Tee-pees R Us.

    I've always thought that too, mind you I've only ever played the intro.

    Live Ed tends to use the same guitar for MFC as he does for Habit, which is a song he plays in drop D-tuning. Don't know if that is the reason, but it is something I've noticed.

    I dunno about the drop-D tuning...

    But we really need to get the final word on which guitar player really IS god.

    I've counted the secret ballots, and so far, it's McCready taking 100% of the votes...

    haha are you challenging me to a duel?

    upon revision, id have to say that frusciante is more of a jesus though. still, cant we just have a polytheistic panel of gods? i have to fit page in there somewhere.

    yeah i play it in standard too.

    but it can be played either way.

    he probably just wrote it in Drop-D and thus it remained.

    and it makes the G chord shape so maybe it's more comfortable (i dunno).
    Come on pilgrim you know he loves you..
