  1. [quote name='lowdown' timestamp='1456396232' post='2988493'] You have come in twelve bars late. [/quote] Which would never had happened if you had been looking at YOUR music stand.
  2. Jaco's first album has chorus on just one track IIRC.
  3. [quote name='JohnFitzgerald' timestamp='1456347606' post='2988202'] I'm often accused of playing fretless when I'm playing a fretted bass. I should probably be insulted but I take it as a compliment. [/quote] ...or a sign that you need to tune up?
  4. [quote name='EssentialTension' timestamp='1456138665' post='2985682'] This is more interesting, IMO. She's clearly very talented. [media]http://youtu.be/qCIpqwJe-6o[/media] [/quote] Having read the rest of this thread, I'm suprised that no one has mentioned the elephant in the room that surely consigns her to the critical dustbin: SHE'S GOT A MUSIC STAND IN FRONT OF HER!!!!
  5. When I called myself it went straight to voicemail
  6. [quote name='wishface' timestamp='1455650272' post='2981180'] Robert Fripp doesn't think hes harmless having stolen 21st Century Schizoid Man for one of his 'songs'. [/quote] Fripp gave West the benefit of the doubt in his diary: http://www.dgmlive.com/diaries.htm?entry=17547 [i][color=#000000][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=3][b][i]Kanye to sample Crimson?[/i][/b][/size][/font][/color][color=#000000][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=3][i]
 :: Posted by fydo1974 on May 28, 2010[/i][/size][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=3][i]This doesn’t seem like something that Fripp would approve.[/i][/size][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=3]Actually, yes it is. I like [/size][/font][/color][color=#000000][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=3][i]Power[/i][/size][/font][/color][color=#000000][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=3] & would have approved, had I been approached. Probably, Mr. Kanye acted in good faith & left it to his people to arrange licensing. Sadly, UMG’s Standard Operating Procedure seems to be: act first, regardless of proprieties & permissions, and deal later: on the assumption that the size & quasi-monopolisitic power of the company will be enough to deal / override / ignore any objections. [/size][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=3]Kanye the artist has my presumption of innocence, given the clear choice between the intention of the artist & UMG the company/s.[/size][/font][/color][/i]
  7. [quote name='steve-bbb' timestamp='1455390565' post='2978764'] totally plastic with some wooden bits [/quote] Fnarr!
  8. Perfect Valentine's Day gift for your loved one!
  9. 4/10. One I had an inkling I knew (Judas Priest) and then proved probability theory by guessing three out of the remaining nine.
  10. Interesting right-hand technique too... he seems to alternate between anchoring the thumb and plucking with [b]i[/b] and [b]m[/b], and anchoring with [b]a[/b] and/or the little finger and plucking with [b]p[/b] and [b]i[/b] (and probably [b]m[/b]). Nice!
  11. The story I heard was that Trevor Horn insisted on them spending their advance on hours and hours of extra time in the expensive studio owned by, er, Trevor Horn...
  12. [quote name='keefbaker' timestamp='1454584932' post='2970995'] I can't read this thread, I can't get the screen far enough away from my eyes and I refuse to buy reading glasses. [/quote] Try this:
  13. OOL (I actually "ooooohhfff"-ed when I saw the second pic.)
  14. [quote name='Twincam' timestamp='1454513857' post='2970400'] Actually have to re do it as it ran over a few seconds whoops! [/quote] Elastic audio is your friend... ;-)
  15. [quote name='DavidMcKay' timestamp='1454451162' post='2969958'] Aye - a bit unfortunate. I often think back to the poor bugger that named the Aids slimming biscuit just as AIDS hit in the 80's. I'll wager he never recovered from that. [/quote] Especially unfortunate to be promoting a slimming product while images of people wasting away due to AIDS-releated diseases abounded I think it was around that time that Lucuzade dropped the "Lucozade, aids recovery" line!
  16. [quote name='Twincam' timestamp='1454342331' post='2968727'] Wrong challenge and it might require more than the allowed 60 seconds. [/quote] And it might be like the EU - once you're in, it's a hell of a job to get out!
  17. Wot lefty said. Also... you're talking about the naming of notes (in an equal-tempered universe). [b]Relative keys[/b] - as mentioned in the thread title - are something else altogether! (Perhaps to be saved for another thread to avoid any confusion here!) BTW, Eric Taylor, the author of the [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]AB Guide To Music Theory, was my professor at uni![/font][/color]
  18. Can I be the first to suggest that a pair of jugs may be a more attractive proposition?
  19. It's a shame they don't broadcast the extended versions of things like this, instead of repeating the short version later the same night!
  20. [quote name='colgraff' timestamp='1453887994' post='2963723'] Who is Nike Rogers? The Greek goddess of.......? [/quote] Running, running, my feet keep running...
  21. "...[color=#000000]my all time favourite band I am so sad with the passing of Glenn Fry...[/color]" I'm so sad that only £5k can console me, and perhaps help me to spell Glenn's name correctly.
  22. [color=#000000]The [/color][color=#000000]Concord[/color][color=#000000] range gained a reputation of being so easy to play due to their super high build quality, hence the name “The Players Guitar”.[/color] As opposed to the loft-stuffing uncle's guitar....
  23. Even more bizarre is the one doing the rounds about Leslie Nielsen dying.... again (he died in 2010)!
