Hello Wilco fans who are guitarists. I've gotten great advice on here for making music. I'm playing a gig next month and it's the first gig I've done in a while with an amp. I've got an epiphone casino going into a fender Mustang gtx100. I've found pretty good settings to capture something of the Jeff Tweedy sound (using an emulation of a 1957 tweed) but for the songs where I'm using my j45... Would you go into the sound desk or use the amp? Wondering what Jeff does when he's switching because it looks like he uses the same guitar lead. Any advice appreciated.

And if of interest the band I'm playing in got some airtime on BBC 6 music yesterday ahead of our show (any London based Wilco fans are welcome. We may well cover Jesus Etc because we have a violinist!). The radio playvery exciting. You can check it out here:

Thanks in advance for any guitar sound advice

Hi everyone,

Long-time listener, first-time poster here. I wanted to share a bit of a surreal full-circle moment we’re having.

Back in 2008, a few of us formed a band in Beijing called Girls Are Waiting To Meet You (GAWTMY). We had a wild year, released an album, made a DIY video for our song 'Zombie Girl' that did some numbers back then, and then... life happened. We scattered across the globe—London, LA, Germany, Shenzhen—and haven't played together in over 15 years.

Fast forward to now: we’ve decided to fly everyone into London for a one-night-only reunion on May 15th.

The reason I'm posting here specifically is that Amy Lamé just played 'Zombie Girl' on her 6 Music show! For an independent, DIY project that started in a basement in China nearly two decades ago, hearing it on 6 Music was pretty special.

If you’re into art-punk, cinematic violin, or just love a good "band getting back together for the hell of it" story, we’d love for you to check us out.

The Tune: You can find 'Zombie Girl' and our other stuff (including the incredible video for Zombie Girl) on our Linktree: linktr.ee/gawtmy
The Show: Friday, 15th May @ MAP Studio Cafe, Kentish Town.

It’s going to be a bit chaotic, very loud, and possibly the only time this line-up will ever be in the same room again.

Would love to see some of the 6 Music family there!

Cheers,
GAWTMY

J45 into an amp?
