Been listening to the 17 minute version of "Elegia", forgotten how good this song is, but what does it mean? Is it a girl's name or something else? Cheers.

Barney couldn't tune his new guitar, and if you try to retune your guitar so that it is E L(e,5 notes after G) E G I (b, two notes after G) A, you'll be able to play it perfectly. Mind you, have you ever tried playing a guitar tuned EEEGBA ?

Martin, Tim is teasing you. Elegia is latin for "eulogy".

Ah yes, but how do you pronounce it?! ;)

It is a girl's name though. Ian Wandless (one of the Mackems, who a lot of people here know from gigs) used it for his daughter's middle name!

Speak for yourself, don't put words in my mouth. I don't work that much (luckily my boss doesn't know this forum) and it's always a pleasure helping people, even I've been getting bored of this searching thing.
