    Right, I said your mileage may vary and my post was just from my POV, yet here you go making your POV the only one that counts again. You say learn it and then say you spend more time on it if it works, not quite the spirit of your previous, ‘knock out something passable’ posts. Also, when did playing and performing become 2 different things? As to your facetious ’essay’ comment; really? I don’t have to try deps and jams thank you, I’ve done plenty of short notice deps and jam nights, both on bass and guitar and I never find them fulfilling. That’s I don’t find them fulfilling, others may love that scenario, it’s not my preferred outlet, but I’ll do them and, in the case of deps, get asked back.

    Being able to play a song after one through is certainly possible if you just want a passable backing/busk, or are under time constraints. Whether that is good enough for your inner musician (being satisfied that you’re doing the best that you can), is a matter for personal reflection. For my part, I know when I’ve not given a song the attention it deserves and I’m usually not happy with that, feeling that I’ve not only cheated the punters and fellow band members, but also myself. YMMV.

    Whether one likes the film or not, the combination of songs and footage in Top Gun is an exercise in clever matching, Danger Zone and Playing With The Boys being prime examples.

    Indeed.

    2022 at the earliest could mean autumn/winter 2022 or even later, your drummer has solid reasons for being apprehensive, but the timescale is too vague and he could decide not to gig at all, potentially resulting in a lot of wasted time. Best to be upfront about it IMO, have a way forward and a change in personnel if required.

    It’s interesting that Pino, Shankar and Tony Levin have identical voices in this section of the song. Hmm, I suspect skullduggery.

    Pino with Peter Gabriel! My head has just exploded! 🤯

    Rehearsing songs you don’t like is a PITA and not enjoyable. However, having ‘been there done that’, those songs are often quite fun to play live, as the audience usually love those songs. My own, personal, bête noire was Madonna’s Holiday, hated it, punters loved it and I channeled their enjoyment into my playing.

    Hmm, I suspect some substandard copy and pasting going on there, but who knows, might be right?

    Quality work, Sir; kudos!

    I’m not bowled over by the concept, so I’ll bail.

    I recognise the work immediately and am most envious.

    Never fails to make me smile; absolute, comedic genius.

    Not being a fan of the size or positioning of Fender thumb rest or tug bar, especially on a Mustang, I knocked up a quick, reversible mod, thumb rest. I was so pleased with it, I even stained and sealed it.

    Plenty of folk here who dabble (or have done on the past) on the skinny stringed beast.

    The bar of 'on the settee' expense has been raised considerably in the last few posts.
