[quote name='ambient' timestamp='1417038107' post='2616587'] I think I possibly misunderstood what you meant, sorry. Asking questions of the tutor shows, to me anyway, that you're learning and involved in what's going on. [/quote]Sound, no problem!

[quote name='ambient' timestamp='1417026959' post='2616358'] Hmm, but you go to your tutor because they know more than you, and you want to improve. I give my students aims and objectives, based around what they want to learn. I explain at the start of each lesson what we're going to do, and ask at the end if they're ok with what we've done. [/quote] I didn't challenge everything they said, but a lot. I found I learned more from discussing why that just following blindly. Play this cos i said so etc! It served me well. I have a degree in music, understand theory. get some goods gigs. Also after a while when you get an understanding of music teachers don't necessarily know more than you just because they are teachers. Whilst doing my degree there were at least two lecturers who a number of us knew more than.

Played the Bord Gais Theatre in Dublin last night. Great gig the crowd there were brilliant. it's the second time I've played there and both times the audience were incredible. Beautiful modern theatre too! The only pisser was that I made a couple of mistakes. Then went on the piss in Temple Bar. Rough as chuff this morning.

[quote name='blue' timestamp='1416973260' post='2615669'] That might be good for you, however you will learn those notes from learning the scales. Learning those scales is really important. Don't challenge your teacher. Blue [/quote]I always challenged my teachers! I think it's necessary. They is no point doing things blindly. You gain better understanding by asking why and then getting an explanation.

Voted for the one that made me smile the most and the one I think that fitted the PIC the best. I think it perfectly suited the image of two old dears dancing!

[quote name='EliasMooseblaster' timestamp='1416824956' post='2613838'] Another thought: you know how we always end up having conversations on here about tone, and the usual conclusion is "see how it sounds in a band setting"? I do wonder how often guitarists have that kind of conversation, or whether they draw any distinction between "sounds good in my room" and "sounds good with the rest of the band." This is especially important in a two-guitar setup, where they'll be fighting for similar space in the mix. Maybe your lead guitarist should try cutting his low frequencies, and rhythm guy can try and find a slightly warmer tone that can sit just above your bass but not get in lead guy's way. Obviously I'm just making the vaguest suggestions with no idea of your various tone preferences, but a little judicious EQing might clear up the overall sound so that it doesn't "feel" quite as loud. [/quote] That is the main problem with guitarists eq. I just go over the their amps and turn the bass and volume down and mids up, mid gig!

Try getting your drum not to play as loud and all come down a bit. Maybe he's right. More often than not, in my opinion, bands are too loud!

[quote name='madshadows' timestamp='1416819479' post='2613786'] Sorry to hear about your son, hope he's back at 100% ASAP John [/quote] Cheers man, thanks a lot!

Having to deal with band members listing how rubbish and unprofessional the rest of us are on internet forums!

Played the Opera House in Manchester last night on the West End Woman UK tour. Always a good gig and crowd there. It was just a case of getting through it though for me. My son had an accident over the weekend and it was hard to fully focus. got through though. Played alright. The gig went well which is the most important thing. It helps when you have world class singers! [url="http://westendwomen.co.uk/the-cast"]http://westendwomen.co.uk[/url]

[quote name='gjones' timestamp='1354939565' post='1892240'] Oh dear Jimmy sounds pretty awful in this. I can see why they were reluctant to issue it. [/quote]He's always been pretty ropey live. It's his thing!

I think it's funny. Especially the reply. Also i hope the band name really is Supple tits!

[quote name='Damonjames' timestamp='1416132878' post='2607091'] Ok, so I'm tired and grumpy because I was out gigging last night and feel the need to rant. I'll start by saying that I love the guys in my band and I love what we do, but after last night I'm wondering why we bother. We played a fair way away from home in a pub we were playing for the second time, played till after midnight and got the princely sum of £150 between 5 of us AND we provided PA. Granted the place was small, and it wasn't packed but after only a few hours sleep before the kids got up, I'm asking myself why I bother. Barely got enough money to cover the fuel to get there and back let alone maintain my gear and am wondering if I'm the only one who feels like this?? [/quote] Depends what you do it for! Love or money!

[quote name='bubinga5' timestamp='1416085889' post='2606811'] is there nothing that guy can do. [/quote] Reach things in high places!

Really liked it!

Ok, finished. Here is my entry. Can't do any more work on it after today so it is what it is. Went more down the sample route this month just so i could get one done. Here it is [url="https://soundcloud.com/dreaded-ted/a-little-bit-of-disco"]https://soundcloud.c...le-bit-of-disco[/url]

[quote name='Lord Sausage' timestamp='1414950058' post='2594974'] I have a 62 reissue fender jazz fretless (CIJ). First fretless i bought. Used it once or twice then got a five string fretless. So it never gets used. I should sell it really as i can't imagine using it, but its so pretty and my first so can't bring myself to. [/quote] Think I might have to sell it! I think I've lost my sons new i pad. Can't find it and I have a horrible feeling I put it on the roof of a car whilst loading. If it's lost I'll be selling the bass to buy him a new one!
