[quote name='OldGit' post='638763' date='Oct 28 2009, 08:36 AM']I've found that in a new deppin' situation leaping about taking the limelight and stealing the audience from the front person or Guitard is generally not a good way to get that dep gig a second time .... [/quote] And possibly aiming higher than a 40% success rate in right notes... Only kidding, i do understand what you mean. Garry

So no one stares at girl singers ar#es then? Garry

[quote name='JonnyB' post='637193' date='Oct 26 2009, 06:57 PM']Ok, I will investigate the ol' flamenco youtube vids, thanks![/quote] Sure is a hard style on guitar, let alone Bass. Good luck with that. Garry

Pretty much what has been said above. Good chops, good sight reading chops [although many get by without this - but will open other avenues] good lugs, know plenty of tunes,Versatility. discipline,great attitude,polite networking,and no hustling. And a passport. And contrary to what some think, you can run a family, go on holidays, Eat and own a property [or two] Garry

I think its based around the [Spanish]Flamenco style. Great player, and very versatile is Mr Laboriel. His son is a stonking Drummer as you might already know. Garry

Great bloke. I have played at a few of his birthday bash parties over the last 10 years or so, his enthusiasm for the music business is outstanding. Garry

Sounds ok to me - Grooves... The Nick Cave Vid had me running for rusty razor blades - just opinions. But if we all post vids of stuff we dont like, The tinternet would explode. Garry

I still have the VHS of this gig.Fantastic! They do a great version of 'One Hundred ways'. The great Hiram Bullock doing his thing. Garry

The Unicorn site looks great.. [and you Bass sounds like it is going to be a stunner] but... Tomten är inte i engelsk! So it is a bit of hard work for us that are not Swedish chef's. Yeerrr guuoorsh heeer, deeuuum, dedeeshka duu. Ieeebur deroor iehroom, Bork Bork Bork! Garry

Music - John Miles. The opening groove is 7/4.. Then some other stuff going on after that...4/4..half time etc. Garry

Pino on 'Everytime you go away' - Paul Young Babooshka - Kate Bush ,Bass compliments the vox in a great way. Garry

Here you go Jake... [Finale not Sibelius] I have left the beams over the rests, Easier for the novice readers who struggle with the grouping. Funny how we all hear things from another angle.

Sorry to go OT. Alex, the Bassist on Come Dancing is Trevor Barry... Nice little interview here, [url="http://www.bassguitarmagazine.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=139:trevor-barry-bgm-issue-29&catid=43:artist-interviews&Itemid=70"]http://www.bassguitarmagazine.com/index.ph...s&Itemid=70[/url] Garry

Thanks for posting the link Jake. I find the American TV show bands a great listening experience, Always great players involved, with some stonking arrangements. In the Uk apart from the Strictly Come Dancing band, What are we left with? 4 Poofs and a Piano - Nice! Garry

You might wanna try and get hold of this band, Partying,kick ass brass, funky Bass, and plenty of vocals. Travel ex's might be a problem though. Garry

Ok we know the original, but i was not aware Isaac Hayes did another arrangement late in the 70's. Its a bit long but some superb arranging from the great man, phrases being moved arround etc. and a bit of a Bass solo/fills thing starting at around 07:50. Garry

[quote name='EdwardHimself' post='616561' date='Oct 4 2009, 03:33 PM']i think i've come to realise that i should have just bought a body off f***ing warmoth for all the good this has ended up being.[/quote] Or just a Musicman... I am sure it will work out. Garry

Good and bad moment.. I was doing Jesus Christ SuperStar in Leeds. [1999] The good moment.. Andrew Lloyd Webber got up on stage at the end of the show, and invited the rhythm section to join him, then announced that was how he envisaged the music when he wrote it. Bad moment. He keeled over....pi**ed, and was helped from the stage, he was just talking his usual sh*te... Garry

Oldest one of all... Fuzz Box. Garry

[quote name='Golchen' post='612537' date='Sep 29 2009, 09:54 PM']I'm trying to knock up a BT for something and it's in 3/4. My dubious drumming skills just ain't gonna work on this and Garageband has zero drum loops in 3/4. Anyone know where I can get some free 3/4 Garageband drum loops or midi drum files? I've been doing searches on the internet for some time and I just get endless dead-ends.[/quote] Just seen this post. I have loads of 3/4 midi drum stuff - loops fills etc. one folder is the grooves on one track. The second folder is the same patterns on different tracks [you can then mix and match] All mapped to GM [CHANNEL 10] Also in the folders other odd time sigs. If you fancy them, PM me your Email address and i will zip/Rar and send. Garry
