RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE

My brother was a heavy drinker. He has cut down to 4 pints a day now. Also, he was always doing manual work/ painting and decorating etc. may tie in with some of the comments above ?

[quote name='RhysP' timestamp='1428669683' post='2743603'] When I went in for my Duyputrens op they also checked my feet pretty thoroughly, even though I wasn't having any trouble with them. Apparently it can cause foot problems as well. [/quote] Thanks for that . My sympathies to all on this thread . What is it with these rare conditions?!?

Years ago , I went for a band audition , in wembley . Turned out it was just a practice thing in the rehearsal studio with Mr. Drums and Mr. Guitar. I wasn't long after leaving my first proper band , and I was very embarrassed. These guys were brilliant . They just jammed and I was trying to find anything that would fit , with great difficulty. They told me that they both just came out of one of those music colleges, which explains why they were so tight . I got a phone call a few days later asking if I'd be up for another jam. But I made an excuse up ( purely because I lacked any kind of confidence ). They were nice guys. Apparently Mr. Guitar was only gonna be doing it for a couple of weeks as he had to take an important job .

My brother got diagnosed about a month ago. He has trouble with his foot as well. Not sure if it's all connected . He talks in spasms , ( often leaving out the most important part in any conversation ), so I am a little confused .

Sammy Hagar . How did I forget him.. And chickenfoot

If he starts his prima donna antics , they're not gonna take it .

[quote name='blue' timestamp='1428102132' post='2738194'] I'm actually stuck too. We have added Peter Green's "Oh Well" to our 1st set. I have listened to many clips and I can't get that tricky little riff between the verse and chorus. And it's not hard, I just don't get it. Blue [/quote] Do green manilishi instead;)

Cool bass;)

Your name is alembic1989. That should answer your question .

I agree wholeheartedly. It happened to me . Some people haven't got TIM!

Cool

Have the volume turned down, and blame the p.a ( in other words mime )

I treat warming up, and practicing in shops as. 2different things . I used to warm up at home with scales for the first half hour , then learn other stuff. Other types of warming up, meant improving my finger dexterity. As for playing in shops , I used to be one of those irritating /naive people who wanted to try and impress . Trying to slap when you can't , is never good. Tapping etc. Having said that, I was learning new stuff and was getting carried away. If I was playing in a shop now, I'd just take my time and play a few things I know.

A can of worms is about to be opened;) From yodel to dpd. I'm not sure tbh, so will let others chip in instead . Bump

James played sitting down

Mmm,well... Gas is soooo dangerous ! We already know that. TBH , if you're gigging or just recording sound cloud stuff etc.I would say you only need 2 ( 3 if you want a 5 or 6'er). You have your main bass which is either fretted or fretless. Then you get the sister of that bsss.then if you're lucky enough to get a 5/ 6 string of that,you should be well catered for. There is (yet another ) debate for some folk who have multi string basses, and that one seems like their only bass as they can play virtually anything on it.
