He also was an outstanding student at Pomona and, later, at Merton College, Oxford, as a Rhodes Scholar. So he went back out ion tour, though he did start one song and stop saying he couldn’t remember more. Turns out it was tertiary (neurological) Lyme disease that responded to treatment.

"I'd trade all my tomorrows for a single yesterday, holding Bobbie's body next to mine" I placed it on my Facebook. His ability to dash down deep philosophical lines with such frugality of words was remarkable. Janice was able to rise in the bow of Kris's poetry. The chance combination of these two talents was a gift to all struggling young couples in that era. I think he was a very talented poet, but just couldn't sing a note I wanted to hear. Which is strange because it is the only Janice Joplin song I ever liked. "Bobby McGee" has always been one of my favorite songs. I see the interview is online, but behind a paywall I have no interest in crossing…. Specifically IIRC he was dissatisfied with her phrasing which didn't follow the rhythms he'd written very closely, especially around the line "windshield wipers slappin' time" Judging from the way he concludes this version, it almost sounds as though it were still in process of composition.įor some reason an old interview with Kristofferson got stuck in my mind….Īnyhoo, what I remembered was that he seemed a little critical of Joplin's interpretation, while probably not feeling comfortable openly criticizing an official Legend and a recording that presumably made a lot of money for him (it had been a billboard #1).

This is because the internet has already run out of IPv4 addresses. Note: While Google’s Free Tier does allow you to lease hardware for free, you will have to pay a small fee for reserving a static IP address.

The ability to save presets is another great selling point of the StroboStomp HD – helping to make this tuner pedal one of our all-time favorites. Although ‘sweetened’ tunings aren’t a common occurrence when it comes to other tuners, this functionality allows for micro-adjusted reference points which are optimized for a variety of stringed instruments. With a set of features which far outweighs that of its rivals, you’ll find vast swathes of different tuning modes, ‘sweetened’ tunings and presets which make tuning changes at shows much easier. They’re highly famed for their accuracy, as well as a virtually bulletproof build quality – with some considering the StroboStomp HD to be ‘the ultimate pedal guitar tuner’, Peterson included. Peterson tuner pedals are well-renowned for being some of the best in the business. Especially for acoustic artists, this could be exactly what you need. It picks up all of the vibrations and signal you’d need to tune accurately, but without the need for a cable, amp or pedalboard setup. With a super low-profile design, a bright screen and near enough 360 degrees of swiveling room, this clip-on tuner sits neatly behind your headstock. We’d recommend you go for a clip-on tuner in the form of the D’Addario NS Micro tuner. If you’re less interested in a pedal tuner, then there is still a decent selection of tuners to choose from. It’s packed with what Peterson describes as ‘sweetened’ tuning presets – some of which can make a huge difference to your sound – and with an intuitive and easy-to-read strobe tuning function, your awkward mid-set retuning won’t take long. Granted, it’s another tuner pedal – and this one costs a lot – but it’ll make your time spent tuning a whole lot more enjoyable. If inexpensive doesn’t really matter to you, then we’d have to recommend the Peterson StroboStomp HD. If you’d rather just get straight to the products, keep scrolling.

We’re looking at factors such as build quality, value for money, ease of use, extra features and tuning modes to help us come to our conclusion. In this guide, we’ve hand-selected eight of the best guitar tuners that are currently on the market – some of which are classics, and some which feature some cool modern tech – in the hopes that you’ll be able to find something which suits your setup, as well as your wallet.
