Judo Chop

I learned both styles when I first started playing, I didn't see much reason to only pick one or the other.

Fingerstyle is much more satisfying for me though

Speaking of amateurs, apologies for the multiple posts! 😂🙄

Would you suggest he try to find his own sound perhaps?

I played with a guitarist once who stopped the song and asked for lights up so he could change a broken string, that was excruciating

I usually find Bandmix very frustrating for how few people bother to write a proper (or any) profile or include any photos or music.

 

And even more annoyingly, many, if not most, don't even bother to edit out the instruments they're not looking for.  Hence ads often read:

Seeking:

Accordion, Acoustic Guitar, Background Singer, Bagpipes, Banjo, Bass Guitar, Cello, Clarinet, DJ, Dobro, Drums, Electronic Music, Fiddle, Flute, Harmonica, Harp, Keyboard, Lead Guitar, Mandolin, Other, Other Percussion, Piano, Rhythm Guitar, Saxophone, Steel guitar, Trombone, Trumpet, Ukulele, Upright bass, Violin, Vocalist, Vocalist - Alto, Vocalist - Baritone, Vocalist - Bass, Vocalist - Soprano, Vocalist - Tenor.

 

 

Seeking: Entire A1 orchestra, no time wasters

I strongly suspect the above to be true 🙂

 

I've considered trying out but unfortunately I'm only an A2 bass player, or maybe a B1 though I'm not sure how his scoring system works

Just now, inthedoghouse said:

Yeah, the same ad for years.  I always thought if he was as amazing as he makes out he would have been snapped up years ago.  He's posted 346 ads so far!

I'm imagining James Brown levels of perfection demanded from the poor sods that give it a go, or he's just a bit of an A1 pain in the derrière to work with

Yeah, he told us he had a Britney style headset mic so he can do lead vocal on one or two songs... 

 

What a mistake we made passing him up.... 

Sounds just like my brother, used to be very keen on using his Britney mic and singing and not so keen on less important things like learning the songs

He had glow in the dark sticks too

Drummers 🤔

Mate..... I auditioned a drummer who ended the night by kicking the room door closed as we were leaving, turning out the lights and getting out his glow in the dark drum sticks. In a break he had already told us he wants the stage set up with drum kit at the front and us behind him. He hadn't remotely got the gig even before that comment. 

And you didn't immediately hire him after that? Why ever not 😂

See Jakester you have nothing to worry about, at least you didn't inflict a near fatal dose of cringe on them like Mr. Glowsticks

True dat, exactly my recent experieince:

 

'It's in the 2nd, 3rd and maybe 4th session that you see people get comfortable and show their bad habits like not learning songs, suggesting Katy Perry songs (for your 80s covers band!!!), wanting to play other instruments, wanting to bring their mates in, all the daydreams coming out when really you just want to get a good handful of songs'

"Daydreams" is spot on

There is no wonder at all, 1 of these folks bullied me for years about my hearing & then has the cheek to come here & try to justify it.

Then another just decides to lump on, because bullying a single person as a team is more fun, isn't it?

 

How it's difficult for anyone to see who the bad actor in this scenario is beyond my comprehension.

 

I wasn't bullying you, I'm sorry if I've hurt your feelings though

It's bad enough to have an issue like this, but there's absolutely nothing that can be done about it. I can hear well enough not to need hearing aids.

I assumed Musicians would understand & maybe even be sympathetic, but it's more like apathy, which is growing in me daily.

 

Just be glad you're not handicapped, but there is Karma.

 

You don't know anything about me, what are you basing your assumption that I'm not handicapped on?

You need a thinking aid never mind a hearing aid

judy chops could probably do well to find a disabled person to exploit

 

That doesn't even make sense, Judy Chops is a funny name though I can see what you did there.

Just now, Killed_by_Death said:

figures judy chops would be here to laugh at someone with a disability, true colours are shining brightly tonight

 

I shouldn't laugh, I do feel quite sorry for you

Bonkers. 

Is he slapping/popping at the end there or just plucking really hard?

Excluding divas (who can actually sing but tend to lose all self control) for me Rose's vocals are down there with Geddy Lee and the bloke from the Beautiful South for me wanting to drop kick the radio into the neighbour's garden any time they come on.

The Beautiful South has two blokes don't they?

I know which one you mean though

I’m now at the stage of seriously wondering if any of the last few suggestions above are actually ‘real’  / serious ? If they are then I truly worry about the future of this planet. Unbelievable.

R.A.E.D is a very real, very serious and respectable recording artiste.

Good luck everyone
