There's 2 acoustic guitars playing in the start of the tune, are trying to write something to capture both the parts, or doing 2 separate parts?

It just takes practice mate.

This is what i'm hearing but the audio qualities awful.

Depends entirely on the type of music and the instrumentation. And also don't forget that there are songs that are supposed to change tempo.
[/quote]

There is a MASSIVE difference in keeping time & changing tempo.

My opinion in this matter is people easily confuse 'good time' and 'keep time'.

Drummers are generally used to 'keep time' in an ensemble unit playing western and that's fair enough in most cases. They are generally the most rhythmic instrument playing so it makes sense. In a lot of Latin music its the clav that 'keeps time'

Each and every musician should develop 'good time'. But most don't.

This sort of thing is easily examined when getting a player to play to a standard click track. Then slowly removing beats so you only have the 1st beat of a bar. SO many players can't seem to do this without difficulty, let alone moving the clock so the single click is on the 'and of two'. Or having a click every 4 bars and staying in time.

I've traded, bought & sold with both meeting and just having good faith.

Very off-putting. Kicked the bloody thing several times just to annoy the engineer.
[/quote]

Remind the engineer to kick your amp over while your at it next time.

When you wonder why some engineers are arseholes, the above quote fully explains why.

Another strong vote for the Mono cases.

Best bag on the market IMO. Sold all my hard cases as this bag will go anywhere!

Mint condition, with clip & clip adaptor.

Looking for the pouch, sure i've got it (or another) somewhere.

Comes with 3m Vandamme & Neutrik cable.

£65 posted.

I should have probably pointed out that I sight read music for when I play keyboard shouldn't I?

I prefer using a combination of the two. I reposition the tab to suit my playing style but I find it so much easier to sight read
[/quote]

You find it so much easier because you haven't read music enough with your bass. Repositioning the tab is just another step that your mind is having to take to play whats written.

[quote name='pst62' timestamp='1332445184' post='1588595']
I never tabbed it myself I took the tab from the Live & Dangerous version and moved it up a fret, So it starts in A (440 tuning)
to match the version on this thread. I was just trying to help the lad out. not trying to be a smart arse!
So you can keep your ear training suggestions to yourself!

Sorry mate, i didn't mean that to sound condescending in any way.

My first call sax player has a series III in solid silver & a matching alto, i'll try find a picture!

Bilbo, why not rent one to see how you get on before shelling out?

IIRC its generally about £50-70 a quarter!

Oops, make that a Selmer mk VI

Here's it tabbed too

Wrong, the first two notes are up an octave. If you can't hear that i really suggest you do some work on ear training.

How about this

Hey guys, thanks a ton for all of your advice. I'm the sort of person that likes to jump straight into ideas but all of your feedback has given me a better idea of what I should be doing to improve myself as a musicians first, than just diving in at the deep end and making myself look unprofessional.

I too had lessons at the very beginning but all he did was send me away with some tabs and for £27 it really wasn't worth it. It didn't help that he also had about 5 other students at the same time all playing different instruments..

Any tips on any good theory books or websites I could look at/study? I'm not really in a position to go to college/uni so the internet/books are the best bet for the moment.

The guy you describe in that is not a teacher.

As for books, this will get you started.

By my own admission, I am not a good student, but the (only, so bad was the experience) "teacher" I had was awful.
Sure, he could play.
Sure, he could read & knew his theory
But he was [u]not[/u] a good teacher.

You are always going to get teachers like that, but if you feel that, don't go back.
