I had an audition last week, during which the singer belittled and berated the guitarist and drummer and then refused to sing any of their original songs blaming the guitarist for not being good enough for her to sing along to!. I let the guys know that there were singers out there who weren't complete bitches and walked out of that one.....

Ooo I'm just a little bit north of the river sorry...

Who?

[quote] Considered desirable and very playable. Tonal range from warm jazzy to more treble. Is of shorter scale, which is not to be confused with a beginner bass...for example it is the the same scale length as the Bass Paul McCartney commonly used in The Beatles. [/quote]

I love Daoins - shame the pups hardware on this one ain't original [url="http://www.gumtree.com/p/for-sale/daion-dawn-power-mark-xx-b-bass-guitar-1983-handmade/91891825"]http://www.gumtree.com/p/for-sale/daion-dawn-power-mark-xx-b-bass-guitar-1983-handmade/91891825[/url]

Haven't heard much from Bubinga5 around these parts lately.......

Gareth Pearson (The virtuoso guitarist) was asked if he was aware of his talent before he started playing guitar and he replied that he didn't have talent he just played for 14 hours a day and worked really hard at it.

Played in Mother's Ruin last night in Bristol, It went ok for us apart from a couple of key changes to songs the guitarist decided on at the last minute . However, the band we were supporting were AWESOME! Check 'em out - [url="http://www.schnauser.co.uk/"]Schnauser[/url] . The bass player was especially good - really beautiful melodies.

I think if one's parents are musicians or musically active then it's incredibly hard to tell if it's nature or nurture is responsible for a child's musical ability. If there were a case of a child being adopted into a non-musical family but had been born from a very musical family, or vice versa, then we could see what factors had played the dominant role.

The brain's memory capaicity is currently estimated at 2.5 petabytes (according to The Scientific American magazine) anyone know how many songs that is???? Edit: About 800 million!

If I think I've forgotten how a song goes, I just shut off my (concious) brain and trust my fingers to do the work. Works (nearly) every time!

Can we have 'Like', 'Love This!' and 'Ooo I'm not sure about this one' ?

Mantronix - got to have your love. Easy peasy but very very in context.

[quote name='spongebob' timestamp='1321354228' post='1438065'] I've been playing for a fair while now (early 90's) and although I started playing fingerstyle, I've been using a pick for most of that time. [/quote] You're in your early 90's and still playing? Well done sir!

Hmm not so much funk, but you can't beat a bit of Jane's Addiction! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mm2Z9Mr9Ilw
