Oh great... Darv's lap dog Peanut Butter Eater Six has joined the fun.
Get Bent, don't you have some ice blocks to chisel?

Is that just your opinion or good opinion? . Phlab wanted to know how to emulate the mandolin part of Losing My Religion on a guitar. It can be done and it can be very effective. I never said that you can make a mandolin sound like a guitar. I said you can make a guitar have a similar tone to a mandolin if you play it up the neck.

Bit of palm muting or simply not letting the note ring by releasing pressure on the strings, resolves any sustain issues. No need to take it too extremes dude, with the rubber or leather bit. Or even the 12 strings. Just play a couple of strings using chord inversions and the desired affect can be achived. It's called emulation, and emulating one string intrument by using a similar one is no mean feat, or even a rare occurence in the world of music.😛

If putting some felt under the strings is "too extreme", then he doesn't really want the sound that badly. It's not hard to do.

I'm searching tabs, and one of the 'chords' is Hm.
I don't understand this term, this isn't a chord... is it? Does it mean something else?
Example:
hm G hm G
F C

Any ideas?
