[quote name='tauzero' post='289922' date='Sep 23 2008, 01:15 PM']Also wear the wedding ring from my first marriage on my right hand[/quote]
How does your current wife feel about that?
[size=1](Or were you widowed?)[/size] -
+1
Any man whose wife thinks he was a 'truly wonderful man' clearly deserves our respect and grief at his loss. -
I take mine off when I play, because I'm scared it'll wear a groove in the neck somehow.
-
I play fingerstyle hard enough to click the strings off the base of the neck. Sometimes I actually hit downwards onto the string over the base of the neck with the tips of my fingers (a la Ryan Martinie). I like it to be very percussive. That's about it really.

It's Raining Blood, punk.

Cripes, that 130 looks massive in the pictures.
-
That's the scariest combo in the world.
-
Completely not my sort of thing, but very nice bass work.
-
Fab, Thumbs rule. I'd love a 4 to go with my 5 - can't convince my wife of the urgency of the requirement though. Hey ho.
-
I'm with you, I always get my thumb stuck under the string on the upstroke.
-
Shwiiing!

Boulder is a monster, some of his lines are very tough indeed. Hang onto Yourself is a real killer at full speed.

I'd say that at the very least you need to learn the notes on the fretboard.
-
Noted, ta.

I think that wearing thinner shoes (rather than the steel toe-capped work boots that I currently wear) is probably the answer. Either that or separate effect pedals, but I reckon that would get expensive, what with the amp modelling in the Zoom.
How easy is it to split the footswitches then? -
Yeah I do, I think maybe I just have big feet.
As I said, I do kind of blindly kick out at the pedal in order to trigger effects, and I do think that the two switches and the expression pedal are a bit close together. This often results in my suddenly being surprised by the noise (or lack of noise) coming from my bass.
I mostly have to select an effect for the song and stick with it throughout, because I haven't got the spare mental capacity to be accurately dancing on the damn pedal box whilst everything else is happening.
-
I always accidentally kick the damn pedal and turn my sound right off, so now I make sure it's not assigned at all.... In my own defence, I do sing lead vocal as well, so I can't focus too much attention on controlling effects.
-
Are you sure you've got all the bits of nail out of the palm of your hands? Because that's not going to help.
-
Yup, only a couple of days delivery on anything I've ever ordered.
-
I've never used my pedal yet. In all my custom patches, I don't assign it to anything at all.

[quote name='Sarah5string' post='266270' date='Aug 20 2008, 01:16 PM']hang on.. how do I do a Bb when I haven't got a Bb on my fretboard???[/quote]
Try A# -
Three years? You change strings every 3 years? Clearly the nut will have dessicated and contracted during that period.
Probably. -
That sounds about right.
I'd ask the guitarist if he/she shouldn't just p*ss off and worry about learning a few chords. Bet you a pound to a pinch of salt he/she only plays the first two or three notes of each one. -

If the seller is new though, they're not going to find a mutually-trusted mediator are they?
