favorite new song

[joshroush]

wow inside track, go rw it must be nice hell it must be nice to live anywhere but here in BFE ohio im lucky to ever see them.
So may inquire as to what this inside track is or is it top secret?

[KingOfFools]

It's SUPER secret. By the way, at least there were THREE Ohio shows last summer. It's been six years since Social D has played in a state where I live.

[KingOfFools]

Oh, I made it to the Cinci show...

[joshroush]

Oh wow thats awesome i was there to, so does that mean that you put up the pic of the set list from that show? If so thanks its cool to have a pic of the setlist of a concert ive been to.Do you know what does the cc means at the end of some of the songs?

So do you remember when he brought that kid onstage, is that a regular thing?

Sorry bout so many questions, but that was the most awesome concert ive ever seen.

[wolfpits]

hey, dude in cincinati,

hello, did he bring the kid onstage and give his little "if it wasnt for the new school, there would be no old school" speach? yeah, he does that all the time. I heard that about a dozen times the past couple years at the sunset strip/disneyland shows.

i dont know what the cc means after a few songs on the setlist, because i dont know what songs they were, but i can take a very wild guess and i may be completely wrong:

Mike has changed keys on some of the older songs he wrote for one reason or another (i.e. bad luck, ball and chain, prison bound). because some of these songs have open string riffs, solos, and chords as part of the original composition, the only way to change keys and still be able to play the same guitar parts is to use what is known as a CAPO on his guitar. You may notice that some songs have that funny clamp looking thing on his guitar. It, in essence, shortens the neck on his guitar and therefore changes the pitch, or key of the song. when he changes his guitar several times in a set, you may notice that one has the capo, and one does not.

My best guess is that the "cc" may mean something like "Capo change" to remind him that this song needs a different guitar.

I may be completely wrong about what cc means though.

[KingOfFools]

You're close, wolfpits. The "cc" stands for capo on the second fret. Sometimes the setlist will have a single "c" which means capo on the first fret.

And Josh, you can thank rw's "inside source" for that setlist. It came as a total surprise when it was handed to me after the show.

What part of Kentucky (if ya dont mind me askin) most of it aint that far from cincinnati. Wow super secret, do I get any clues or do i just have to break out my super special cereal box decoder ring? jk.

[gotXyourXcancer]

i cant quite figure out the cc things either...but i think theyre more for commentary...

but Ness doesnt capo the first fret becuz its a completely different singing key

[wolfpits]

gotxyourxcancer, your missing the point. adding a capo makes singing to the song easier and that is exactly why any singer would do that. completely different singing key? Listen to live at the roxy, and compare several of those songs with their original recordings and the key is raised a whole step.

[gotXyourXcancer]

im not getting defensive wolf...but YOU missed the point, so i'll explain. if you have problems like me, and im guessing Ness prolly does too, singing in regular tuning...you have to tune down half step for comfort in your range. a capo on the FIRST fret would make it regular tuning, whihc is a COMPLETELY different key. a capo on the SECOND fret is in the same area of your range when you sing...its very strange how it works...but if you sing at all you should try it and see how much of a difference a change in ONE fret can make in your singing.
