Ptash. At least Rush will deliver a quality performance.

The only time I made an impression at Karaoke was when I chose "Firestarter" 🤣

A seat with a view of the stage at Ronnie's that's a score.

Just joshing...

Why buy a cheap one from China, when you can pay a king's ransom for one from America that's almost as bad? 😁

I've just booked into a hotel for three nights. The 'above lively music venue' was an attraction... I enquired and it's karaoke on friday and saturday...

3" O think! pjb eat yer heart out!

I once added a port to a small combo I made, using the cut and try a card tube method. This improved it. I felt the wadding was a bit dense and started pulling bits out of the port. By the time I had pulled all the wadding I could get to out of the hole, it sounded much better. Not sure this is of any use, except to say don't be afraid to experiment.

We work a few songs in parallel... otherwise it would take forever.

With better spelling, I hope.

Me...

See... you know what I mean.

I have (hopefully) four more cheap dmx PAR lights (for a total of six) coming tomorrow with one of the cheap controllers. It may be weeks before I have time to experiment propery dueto work

Start on the g string, any note, come down one fret higher on each string so you're back on the first note an octave higher on the E string. The intervals are all major thirds so any of the notes can be the notional root. G, Eb, B, G perhaps surprisingly, resolves nicely to E. The song in question uses just three chords: Em, C, G. We certainly struggled for a long time we were trying to finish on a C chord (over which G bass sounded best) to create an unsettling effect but we couldn't get happy with it. But omitting the G letting the C hang and the bass does a run up then down that chord then E works. There's probably some deep musical theory at work but I'm b****** if I know what it is.

And Dr Snuggles. Watch to the very end 😁

That's a plus!

At last night's rehearsal we thrashed three songs over three hours to hone their structures. I was charged with finding a satisfying end to one song and after much trial and error found that adding a descending arpeggio of a four note G-augmented chord was an awesome way to take my finishing run down to the final E. I've never found a 'musical' application for one before but it sounded absolutely perfect. We'd tried loads of ideas but going up to the G then down sounded perfect. No punter will ever appreciate six people spending fifteen minutes to get to that!

That's what Phil said he'd done at the start.

Not a matching headstock. Phew!

To be fair, he switched off tweeters in the larger cabs 🙂

Actually I was just baffled that it left me off the list...

Fritz keeps Vlogging us!

Meta AI (Facebook) updated me on musicians fom my home town.

Does this mean he now wants a shubbery?

If they just have a buyout and don't go into administration/ bankruptcy you should get the order eventually.
