[quote name='xilddx' timestamp='1372946119' post='2131974'] I know what you mean about the 'cool' aspect. I loved Van Halen's set of walls of fake speaker cabs. But the fact is, big amps onstage is only old school cool nowadays. I really don't think the audience give a sh*t about seeing stacks on stage unless it's a deliberate part of a set. [/quote] or if theyre disguised as friggin washing machines or something stoooopid im inclined to agree Nige for gigs with a big rig out front for multiband afternoons and decent monitoring the stage stuff is just cosmetic - we did a local gig recently - JTUK was there and said FOH sounded good - onstage monitoring was great in fact the stage monitoring was so good i could not actually hear my 410 at all so i was essentially using my head as a oversized DI box!

shouty student bands with beards and twiglet underwear who knew!

chocolate coated TRB anyone??

[quote name='gapiro' timestamp='1372849910' post='2130596'] Their acronym is M+S.... quite apt I feel [/quote] you buy your underwear from nu-folk bands then?

but you PROMISED red seedless disappointed

Nige a huge part of it is all about pattern recognition especially reading the dots on the lines (IMHO) check out this little app - very interactive and useful for reading/recognising/learning notation and syncopation [url="https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/rhythm-sight-reading-trainer/id396302174"]https://itunes.apple...ner/id396302174[/url] notreble have a good apps section - this one looks great for the more advanced harmony stuff [url="http://www.notreble.com/buzz/2013/03/04/mapping-tonal-harmony-pro-a-look-at-the-harmony-app-for-ios-and-android/"]http://www.notreble....os-and-android/[/url] [url="http://youtu.be/LLJeHenKdlw"]http://youtu.be/LLJeHenKdlw[/url]

ALRIGHT NOW soooo many people play what they think they remember and if you fancy a wee groove then try Nick Lowe 'Sound of Breaking Glass'

should be fab - spoilt for good tunes with the 80s - difficult to know what to leave out!!

[quote name='xilddx' timestamp='1372774309' post='2129762'] I have completed my statistical analysis, and 67% of BC members making more than 3.1 posts per week think everything's crap if it's sold more than 162 records, and isn't Jaco Pastorius or someone with no arms playing a guitar with their feet.
