The Restless Bridge has some of the most obscure chords that Gord has ever displayed.Even though he rarely ever shows it,he knows his way up the fretboard... that was quite evident when I saw him play,"In My Fashion" live in Clearwater.
In one of my songs I use some of what I hear in
the bridge of "Restless".
And Mary,Make sre your truss rod and saddle are adjusted accordingly.Verrrry important...especially during the colder months.
I've gone thu every string brand known to man.
On Gords'12 string,he uses Ernie Balls with a wound octive E and B,so it's less steel sounding.
I believe he uses 12-52's on the 12 string and they come with plain steel octive E and B,so he substitutes them.I myself haven't owned a 12 since my crazy ex bashed mine(it was signed by Gord and Terry)but I have a 6 string.
I switch between 10s and 13's ,depending on how I feeel from week to week.My Electric has been in the shop for the past 2 months son when I play gigs all my songs from Hank to Hendrix have to be on my 6 string.D'addario EXP's are the best strings ever by far.If you're smart you'll by ,em
