[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1343392310' post='1750043'] No, he's dead. [/quote] but there will usually be some busybody somewhere who will mind 'professionally' on his behalf no? good luck mr andybob - ive tried this too in the past but i just could not get my head around the whole lefthand/righthand independence thing in much the same way that i cant play bass and sing at the same time...although some might say i just cant play bass full stop

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1343386924' post='1749892'] Have a look at Alfred's Basic Adult Piano Course. [/quote] will alfred mind?

[quote name='lojo' timestamp='1343338265' post='1749332'] Never used one on bass though I've seen it done IMO rio is one of those songs that should not be done in another key , it's one of my favourite lines at the moment I may just try what your suggesting for fun with my 6string capo for a laugh as I know the line well Doesn't that key shift make you wonder what the band is all about? Edit- just noticed the audition is now, hope it went ok for you? [/quote] i think im going to go get one of those capos suggested above and have a fiddle with it - i find playing with things like that far more entertaining than trying to get decent sounds out of an octaver or synthbass pedal

i asked if they minded we do it in E - they didnt mind!

ahhh the hair dryer white noise effect

more widespread than id guessed!

i dont mind transposing on the fly if its basic patterns but whilst Rio is fairly basic it is rather busy and i just dont feel the drive is there playing up 3 - and then there's that nice big fat open EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE .......... [i][size=3]her name is rio da da dum dum dum dee dum etc etc[/size][/i]

ive never seen it (on a bass) does anybody do it? does it work? (i see no reason why it shouldn't) i have an audition this evening - they want Duran/Rio - no problem I can rock the pants off it in the original key - they want it up three semitones in G

scuse the bluntness but 6 months really is pi55 all i flogged all my gear many years ago and regretted it massively (from my own personal exp unless you are loaded with beer tokens, you simply cannot go out and replace a trace rig a status and a trb6p 'just like that')

[quote name='Chris2112' timestamp='1343281058' post='1748158'] It has a couple of duff, slow tracks but balances that with awesome tracks like [i]Night of the Iguana[/i] and [i]Hana[/i]. [/quote] i will try giving it another listen !! (in between revising/learning some stuff that some pesky local band that want me to audition Duran/Rio in G!! FFS do these singists have no sense of decency!!)

[quote name='Chris2112' timestamp='1343234928' post='1747542'] That has to be one of the most awful covers. No energy, just the most lazy, cynical cash in ever by a bunch of talentless hacks. The best cover of the song is, frankly, by Joni herself from the [i]Shine [/i]album. [/quote] sorry but that album should be called sh*te not Shine

whats to say about this man's vocal talent that hasn't already been said? beautiful arrangement with PJJr ultra slick on guitar [media]http://youtu.be/HLWnJtQrSyE[/media]

some of our american friends might say this is bordering on hipster douchebaggery but i think counting crows made a nice cover of this in comparison the plethora of (imho) lame covers of this out there (this has to rank high in the top ten most covered songs ) [url="http://youtu.be/tvtJPs8IDgU"]http://youtu.be/tvtJPs8IDgU[/url]

[quote name='peteb' timestamp='1343202065' post='1746798'] I think that it's more to do with the rhythm section than anything...... [/quote] this .... but as much as i like hendrix i really cant get into the experience stuff the same way as the band of gypsys

this one is sooo good i think mr vai should leave it the FFFF alone after this version [url="http://youtu.be/WfWpeY4dxCM"]http://youtu.be/WfWpeY4dxCM[/url]

[quote name='BottomE' timestamp='1343151935' post='1746221'] +1 George Duke is a seriously great player [/quote] i know he is my all time top fave muso - personal preference i place him above zappa even - seen him twice at ronnie scotts - was sat so close i could have played his foot pedals for him

[quote name='Gust0o' timestamp='1343117993' post='1745329'] There's your way out lads - we've all played with keys players; we know your typical keys player is a feckless dandy. We'll be fine, our jobs are safe for another day [/quote] but then again that might be a bad thing cos we all know how keyboardies just love to copy and double our bass lines and muddy them up

not threatening at all imho - it will only sound as good as the musicianship of the keyboard player using it if youre demo-ing a new product like this you seriously wouldnt pick just 'any average' keyboard player - it is a very smart choice using george duke he has always been way above most players in his ability to write bass synth lines that transcend sounding as if they come from a keyboard

oh dear ... they just played jeff berlin

i knew youd all approve ... and heaps more talent than madonna too ... she'd probably have all the chickens wearing pointy bras

[quote name='darkandrew' timestamp='1342990169' post='1743608'] Having been suitably inspired by the Adele song, I ventured out into the rain on Friday night and attempted to set fire to it. My only achievement was a soggy box of matches and a nasty sniffle. My only conclusion is that despite what Adele is advocating in her song, it is actually impossible to set fire to the rain and I am left feeling somewhat cheated - a feeling I hadn't experienced since I found out that the Beatles didn't actually all live in a yellow submarine. Has anybody else had a similar experience discovering that a song's lyrics are clearly impossible? [/quote] Adele stuff is easy 1 take one large pan of boiling water 2 one cute fluffy bunny 3
