please bear with me ive only been into this moosic m'larky for a short time,,,,,so mr Seal goes up to girlie busker says ere let me av a go ( or she says ere mate come an av a go ) and he plays as a lefty,,,so was it strung for the girl who was playing it right handed or is mr Seal very clever playing it upside down ? maybe he learnt guitar that way to start with ? 

it looks to be strung  right handed 

Just so .

The " How Long Blues " three posts above is a classic example of one of the Eight-Bar Blues forms , where it goes to the iv minor in bar 4 .
It evolved into stuff like this , where bar 5 gets divided into a I - VI , and bar 6 becomes a II -V ; 

( Gene Harris uses the last 4 as an intro )

Jazz organ legend Jimmy Smith studied double bass and piano at music college after leaving the Navy .

Kenny Rogers played upright .

Bass (and guitar) have the advantage that once the light bulb illuminates, modes across all 12 keys (okay...there's actually 15 keys) are pretty much the same complexity.

On something like a flute or a trumpet, you need to do some further logical thinking to "get to" the modes and its harder.

How do you get 15 ?

Aren’t there 22 ( 11 major and 11 minor ) ?

It is that day of the year again ...

" I will be there in two minutes . " - when you already know their sense of time after having played with them .

" I am the Manager " - when you don't need a second glance to realise that they can't even manage their own body .

Works OK now . 

I tried , but I got " Something went wrong on SoundCloud "
 

We can’t find that playlist.

Did you try to access a private playlist while not being signed in?
Maybe the playlist has been removed.

Mention of Joe Jackson in another thread triggered a memory of a film soundtrack he wrote :

" If you come and work for us we will Propose and Second your application to join the A.C.C.S and then if you get in we will pay you Union Rates . "

Still waiting on the getting paid part .
