That seems a bit harsh and 'dry', to me. Listening is critical, but so is 'reading' the mood of the other musicians, by whatever means. Even seeing someone smile (or frown..?) at something going down is part of how and what one plays, as far as I'm concerned. It's possible to play in a 'vacuum', but better if all are contributing to the song with all of their senses, in my view. I'm not a machine.

It's from 'The Hitch-Hiker's Guide To The Galaxy', recommended reading, as there are references to that work interspersed throughout this forum, and others. Here it is, in Pdf format ... HHGTTG ...

"Hey, you sass that hoopy Bluewine? There's a frood who really knows where his towel is."

I've no qualms with that if I turn the sound off. Leaving the sound on and closing my eyes, however, is quite a different story..!

So would I, spelt like that..! ('Cue': giving the nod to someone, or playing pool. 'Queue': standing in line ...)

So, (be truthful, now...) do you honestly find the sound of that video to be 'attractive', well recorded..? Would you be pleased if the drummer in your band sounded like that..?

Unlistenable cacophony. One had to 'be there', maybe. A lesson in how not to set up a PA and record stuff. I gave it four minutes; I shan't repeat the experience. Sorry, no points from me for this one.

Could I suggest explaining what the issue is, so that someone could offer some help..? The 'Report' button brings posts to the attention of the Mods systematically. Just sayin'.

This may or may not be an issue. Try it out, and judge the results in the context of what you're doing, yourself.

Good evening, Julian, and ... Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share.

I got 'hooked' on the beauty and richness of the music I was listening to (Surrealistic Pillow, Anthem Of The Sun, Piper At The Gates Of Dawn, Da Capo, Fairport Convention ...), and it was just the right moment to catch the rising crest of the hippy movement. It's remained with me ever since, and is very unlikely to ebb, now. No longer 'fashionable', but then again, I never was, so...

You mean with ... [Gasp..! ] ... oil wheels, as well..?

A good start, but lacks a lot (triplets, dotted notes, 'skipped' notes, ties...). The full list would be quite horrific, I think..!

Is that you, Mr Trump..? Oh, sorry; I just thought for a moment... ... No, no; let it pass.

How about Marshall amps..? They have a lot of fans, I'm told. ...

I don't agree; there's quite orange of good stuff posted here.

Can you get to Manchester and back somehow..? Ashdown rig for sale ... Just sayin'.

Never mind the blathering, you know the score. Get a good picture sent off to Skol Towers for the next Challenge. In your own time, of course. ... ... ... Are you still here..?
