  2. [quote name='supabock' post='1157231' date='Mar 10 2011, 09:10 PM']Thats a bit harsh[/quote] I'm on the wind-up.
  3. No . Stick to inferior players , you dont get it.
  4. [quote name='Doddy' post='1142015' date='Feb 26 2011, 02:17 AM']Tom Kennedy is a frighteningly good player-check out the rest of his work with Weckl as well as his stuff with Mike Stern and Steps Ahead amongst others. Just as another aside,I'm hopefully having a lesson with Tom Kennedy in a few weeks time-just need to sort out the details [/quote] Love Tom Kennedys playing i have his solo cd ..very good .
  5. [quote name='SteveK' post='1140710' date='Feb 25 2011, 12:39 AM'][url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sMXz7FUi4-I"]Jaco's "burp"[/url] in all it's glory. The guy deserves respect from each and every member of BC[/quote] BIG Jaco fan but hadnt heard that before ...thank you for that Miles got slagged off for his tone and sinatra got dogs abuse and dropped by columbia so what does that prove. Its a big pendulum and it swings both ways. Jaco gave bass a voice ........ pity some players have developed tourettes.
  6. [quote name='Doddy' post='1117773' date='Feb 6 2011, 03:38 PM']Exactly-it's all about the context,the information is always the same. The sad thing is there are a lot of people about who teach in this manner-and it does as disservice to the student. It's easy to write a Tab showing a scale and move it about,but it doesn't actually show you anything. What are the notes? How do they relate to one another? What can you do with the scales? What other positions can you play them? On it's own the pattern is not going to do much good,if you don't know how to work with it. But it's easy to 'teach' and is a shortcut that misses out a lot of relevant information.These teachers,I feel,are the kind of teachers and players who generally get really offended by Jeff Berlin,because he's an advocate of studying and that there are no shortcuts,and therefor it leads to arguments that there are loads of other learning methods,when really there aren't.[/quote] I agree and so does Branford.
  7. Saw it last week and really enjoyed it. Some good stories but i kept thinking "he's gonna be dead before the years out "
  8. [quote name='machinehead' post='1094204' date='Jan 18 2011, 06:50 PM']Six offers of help and no response - not even a post or PM to say "Thanks, but I'm sorted". And as it happens, I was in Bangor last night visiting my daughter. Frank.[/quote] Funny name for a daughter
  9. [quote name='lowdown' post='1095200' date='Jan 19 2011, 02:30 PM']I will try and find the link. Ok Edit - here it is. [url="http://www.jazzoasis.com/methenyonkennyg.htm"]http://www.jazzoasis.com/methenyonkennyg.htm[/url] Garry[/quote] Cheers for that mate. I've a lot more time for Metheny after that
  10. [quote name='arthurhenry' post='1094343' date='Jan 18 2011, 08:13 PM']This song seems to get mentioned a lot in various threads, but have you noticed how many players get the solo section wrong (or perhaps take the easy way out) and don't keep the rhythm going on the open A [size=5]under the high G/D/F#/D bit?[/size]There was a video lesson with James Lomenzo (great player) where he strangely talked about the trickiness of getting back to the 5th fret A after the high notes. Why fret the note when you've just been playing the open string?! Fraser played it all on open A. There's a tricky bit of muting to be done when crossing strings, but it's worth it.[/quote] I play that bit as harmonics on the 5th 3rd and 4th frets on the G and D strings.
  11. I think you have this covered. But if not give us a shout i'm bt11 9nl.
  12. These are the mutts nuts i hear ! [url="http://www.extremeheadphones.com/"]http://www.extremeheadphones.com/[/url] Paul Gilbert put me on to them.
  13. [quote name='Bilbo' post='1076104' date='Jan 3 2011, 10:46 AM']News is coming in of the death of bassist Charles Famborough at the age of 61. Fambrough was a member of Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers during the early 1980s. He also played with Grover Washington, Jr., Freddie Hubbard, Airto Moreira, and Shirley Scott to name only a few. Great player with a huge sound. There are a few solo cds out there by him which are all strong. [url="http://jazztruth.blogspot.com/2011/01/upright-citizen-rip-charles-fambrough.html"]Charles Fambrough tribute[/url] Something nice to listen to here. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QSVJXNe7eA4"]Charles Famborough - Don Quixote[/url][/quote] Thats a great track Bilbo i'll have to get that off Itunes .
  14. R.I.P. to another great player Its a cold time to be a musician.
  15. Blew a 15" speaker in a carlsbro stingray combo once. Second song in and had to go through a sh*tty H+H 150 watt pa for the rest of the gig. Ah those were the days
  16. I do and if i ever get anywhere near this i will have peaked !!!
  17. Cheers mate subscribed ...sounds good.
  18. [quote name='icastle' post='1038610' date='Nov 27 2010, 10:03 AM']I'm getting "we have the more expensive on in stock..." routine at the moment. Good job I'm not a more cynical individual or I could surmise that "someone" is attempting to play silly b*ggers here... I'll give them another week and then decide what to do to them - I mean what to do [i]with [/i]them of course... [/quote] Well a good customer relations policy would be to give you the more expensive one for the same price and apologise ! And then you would be on here singing their praises but no... short sighted as ever .
  19. They had a crap reputation on here in the last couple of years. Anybody ordered anything recently ? Seen a few things that caught my eye.
  20. Surely it depends on the level of your reading whether Tab is quicker ?
  21. Up to his headless neck in panto no doubt ! Oh no he's not !!
