[quote name='bob_pickard' timestamp='1368855710' post='2082256'] It may be best to give them a ring, they have to get all the bar drinks there and won't us the steps ( I'd hope) - hopefully they have jeep or something that can help you out at low tide or something. Looks a fantastic venue though [/quote] i was just thinking similar to this - maybe there is a jib/winch somewhere for hauling heavy stuff up and down ?

are they famous? i know eminem mentioned them once in one of his lyrics

some pubs round our way have nights like these where they will showcase noob bands for no playing fee (usually one of their quieter drinking nights so im guessing they figure it will either improve takings over the bar or no difference on that particular night of week) if youve got an area where there are a lot of student/originals bands its often a good way for them to get exposure as without experience and proven track record they are caught in the catch22 trap of not being able to get gigs because they havent had experience/exposure etc etc

does anybody remember the UK mag from 70s iirc was just called Guitar - was usually quite minimalist cover often with a duotone portrait of the months featured artist

all this nostalgiarising has prompted me to dig these out of the cupboard for some bedtime reading (not the guitar book though - PM me if you want to make me an offer if youre into masochistic sight reading - i have the SV passion and warfare score too - sorry was from my cheese wire strumming days ) edit - whats the best mag for metal?? dont know ... but i do have issue number one of Kerrang somewhere too

[quote name='JTUK' timestamp='1368709536' post='2080459'] The classic story of Steely Dan rotating their bands wasn't so much an A band and a B band... it was the chemistry of the unit that worked and ended up on the track. You may have had a few players on triple A scale and some on a lesser fee ... but that alone wasn't enough to define what worked when.. They could all play..and some.. but they were looking for that little extra.. for whereever they could get it. [/quote] Zappa's various line-ups is another example of this - although even this defies logic as he seemingly insisted on keeping an extremley talented bass player who's ego was bigger than the rest of the band put together and somebody as shrewd as FZ must have realised it was a car crash waiting to happen

[quote name='xilddx' timestamp='1368618942' post='2079209'] although I play it on bass live almost identically. I'll be interested to know if you think ours has personality [/quote] i think it has a completely different personalitiy and ive already complimented you on it in a previous thread so not going to blow more smoke in your direction on this one! - in my mind this is not a 'simple' re-arrangement more of a major overhaul/rework the fundamentals which link and identify with the original are still the same - melody/lyrics bassline chord progressions - change any of these and it becomes a completely new song imho my previous comment was more aimed at covers rather than drastic re-arrangements - one example of this i could cite would be the beatles birthday song - have a search for this on spotify and you will see several covers - there is one (Ian Cussick, Heiko Effertz) which has imo done it faithfully, some of the other 'celebrity name' cover versions have obviously not listened to the chord structures carefully enough and there are parts which just grate on the ear because they dont move/progress 'correctly - this is what i refer to as lazy arranging or not listening carefully enough to what is actually going on one criticism of your vid .... avoid justifying [b] K[color=#ffffff]_______[/color]I[color=#ffffff]_______[/color]T [/b] to the full width of [b]RICHARDSON[/b] - it may be arty but it doesnt scan as Kit just K.I.T. - also if you can edit the google thumbnail might be an idea as viewers not familiar with your band might think your guitarist is KIT

[quote name='EssentialTension' timestamp='1368602888' post='2078962'] It's simple, the band just rearranges the song so that the melody and the lyrics remain the same but the arrangement changes. Mind you, having said that, I really don't see it as 'stamping my personality' on anything. I might be more convinced by the idea of the whole band stamping it's personality. [/quote] all well and good but where is the line between and genuine honest attempt at an improved or personalised arrangment and laziness at not bothering to listen to or inability to reproduce the original arrangement (for technical/skill reasons) ? sometimes the studio production will mean that it cannot be reproduced faithfully in a live setting and usually it is down to the band line-up and instrumentation requiring the arrangement to be altered a technically difficult arrangment may be tricky for a band to replicate in a live situation but a 'lazy arrangement' will usually sound like just that - an arrangement can often be simplified and with attention to just small details can lift it from being ordinary to sounding like the band have put a modicum of thought and effort into re-arranging it

dont forget the [b][url="http://www.shergold.co.uk/models.html"]Shergold Marathon 6[/url][/b]

are you keeping your forearm still or moving it? the way i (try) to do it is point your index finger out and imagine a line thorugh your finger all the way up to your elbow joint all the movement and effort comes from hand/wrist/forearm rotating around this axis allowing the thumb to bounce against the string the same way a piano hammer strikes a string - effectively the thumb itself can remain fairly passive its your arm that is using your thumb as a hammer hope that makes sense

apologies now ive read the thread title correctly .... tape recorder memory

[quote name='Fat Rich' timestamp='1368525732' post='2077930'] Bad enough when each band member can adjust your sound, you wait till the audience download the app [/quote] hopefully they will be turning the pesky guitars down then!

if it s basic stuff i just listen and my fingers go there - if its something a bit more complex same process but in smaller bite sized chunks

heres a technique might be useful for some of the demo sections - the neg image really shows the fingering and positions well [url="http://youtu.be/hX6ZFl5eIHc"]http://youtu.be/hX6ZFl5eIHc[/url]
