Here is that Steps Ahead track I was talking about: Beirut.. Listen to Brecker's EWI solo at 3.40 and Manieri's synth vibe solo at 5.40. And Daryl Jones munching throughout. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLcqC0gUIvI"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLcqC0gUIvI[/url]

I do struggle to modulate in my compositions

I am getting increasingly frustrated at the gap between the ideas in my head, the technology available (to me) and the time it takes to make it all happen. I came up with this tonight after sitting in front of the computer for ages but, to my ears, although it started from there, the final piece has nothing whatsoever to do with the image. Can't even justify it with b******t double talk! [url="https://soundcloud.com/robert-palmer-1/waking"]https://soundcloud.com/robert-palmer-1/waking[/url]

That's the magic, the thing that stops Simon Cowell having his own way. The unpredictable something.

Yes but it doesn't do nice things through a Pro Co Rat! I tried one before I bought it and it was great, certainly good enough for my purposes.

I only ever got compared once. To Lemmy.

They turn Rock n Roll into Cabaret and should be ashamed of themselves. My publishers, Equinox, have a release by Georgina Gregory called 'Send in the Clones: a cultural study of the tribute band.

Seven sets in two days....and still standing. Need a few days downtime for near blisters to ebb away but, muscularly, all is well ( and some the Gareth Lockrane sets were manic, tempowise)

I have no idea what this conversation is about

Don't know. Never seen one.....

Yup.

Concepts for Bass Soloing by Marc Johnson and Chuck Sher

Played 4 gigs this weekend and am totally knackered. Last night, I got roasted by Gareth Lockrane, flautist extraordinaire. Ouch! (But in a nice way)

Started mine yesterday but 4 gigs over the weekend meant progress was pretty much halted!

[quote name='Mr Fretbuzz' timestamp='1363121570' post='2008969'] I've got 13 of his books and they are all really useful. [/quote] Anyone who takes 13 books to explain how to play bass is either struggling to communicate or writing [i]really[/i] short books

Think thematically. Build lines off what has gone before. Listen to the soloists and use their ideas to inform your own. Remeber chromatics. Remember you can play a note twice, three or even four times in a bar or even pedal for eight bars! Tempo can be a defining element here. The options are many.
