  1. Quick question to the professionals out there....

    How often do you have to deal with a treble clef?

    Is it worth spending time learning it?

    So far I've seen ledger lines and 8va signs for the higher notes but I haven't seen a grand stave used.


    Cheers

    Dave

  2. [quote name='pietruszka' post='1245280' date='May 26 2011, 10:11 AM']Not a problem. As Soliloquy has said, it leads to other work. Thats pretty much why we're doing it, we'd rather play the hotels in China and such and it looks like we have some work over there to. They're better pay and you're better looked after from the sounds of things. ie Instead of 2 of you sharing a 2 birth cabin, its a 5* Room each. But you have to start somewhere.

    Which ferry are you going to be working?

    I'm not sure yet a friend of mine is waiting for some dates to come back. I'll keep you posted.

  3. Thanks for this. I'm learning to sight read at the moment and this has helped. I've never tried a classical piece before but I rather enjoyed it.

    P.S.

    If anyone knows a good source for stuff like this that I can use then I would be most grateful.

  4. Cheers for all the responses. I may have an opportunity in the summer holidays which I think I'll take.

    Pietruska I would like to hear about your experience as it sounds like I am doing something similar.

  5. I enjoyed viewing the results of this survey. I'm currently trying to learn how to sight read and so far I've been practising about 30 mins (almost) every day for the last 3 months which is both taxing and mind numbing. I've come a long way but I'm still miles off where I need to be to work at a professional level. I wish I'd had a tutor who valued it more when I was younger. My theory is ok but that is something else I am currently improving.

    Both have made me more confident in my playing and I find it much easier to communicate with other musicians. Only now can I look back and see how important they are.

  6. I play electric and acoustic guitar quite a lot. Only ever played live once at my mates wedding. It was in a church, just me on acoustic and another bloke singing. It was scary as hell! Well out of my comfort zone. It went ok though.

  7. Info added

  8. I've decided I'm not a jazz bass man which is a shame because this bass is beautiful and hardly used.

    There are a couple of areas of minor damage which are not very noticeable and purely cosmetic. Lacquer damage near each strap holder as pictured.

    I am looking for about £1000 but would prefer to exchange/part exchange for a Warwick or a Spector.

    I'm in Stockport, Manchester.
