I used to know lots and used to make a point of learning them. But the more theory and musical ideas I consumed made me realise scales were bollocks and tend to lock you into certain things and phrases. I think a wider understanding of harmony, notes relating to current chord that you are on and where you are going with a hint of relation to the key or tonal centre, whilst knowing all the notes on the neck and intervals etc is what is important. Also your ear....f*** the rules. When i used to hear Eddie Van Halen say the chromatic scale is the most important i used to think what a cop out, what's he talking about....he's right!

[quote name='timmo' timestamp='1396002164' post='2408800'] I tried. What i am pissed off with is a site called Get Me In. They are affiliated to Ticketmaster and sellin tickets already for £800 plus a ticket. It is shameful as there are things in place to try to stop touiting, and they are the biggest culprits. [url="http://www.getmein.com/rock-and-pop/kate-bush-tickets.html"]http://www.getmein.c...sh-tickets.html[/url] [/quote] Word! It's a scandalous crime really. I'm so pissed off I won't be listening to Kate Bush for a while!

If you pardon my french it's f***ing bollocks! Was in at 9.30. By the time got through security and and all that to be told there were none available when you when back they were all sold old apart from tickets for £400. No chance i'm gonna pay ridiculous money for tickets. It's a Joke.

Think it's bollocks personally. I've been playing 20 yrs. just done a pro UK theatre tour using a Yamaha BBN5 which i bought for £400 about 17 years ago and an ESP LTD 5 String fretless which i bought for about £400 last year. Both play and sound great. The amount of great comments i got for the sound of both of them is unreal. I don't believe all that over a £1000 guff.

My dad was into Rock, Fusion and Blues. My Mum was into Kate Bush, Jacko, all pop really. So i grew up listening to [media]http://youtu.be/VFqPMzFV5fM[/media] And http://youtu.be/wp43OdtAAkM Pretty much my taste in music today exists between all this.

[quote name='Skol303' timestamp='1393873269' post='2385365'] That's interesting... we generally get feedback that people prefer landscape photos because they allow for lots of different interpretations, rather than being too 'literal'. But it's something to bear in mind in future [/quote] I don't necessarily mean here's a scene do the music. But maybe something abstract, lots of different shapes, trippy etc.

[quote name='lowdown' timestamp='1393964636' post='2386418'] I get where you are coming from. There is a comp going on until sometime in April you might like. It is based around layering (used in games music). Although aimed at their games and film scoring courses, it is free and with some prizes. You have to sign up, no obligation to get the comp link.

I've entered before a couple of times. I thought of the tree idea but couldn't bring myself to do it.

Not gonna enter again this month. No disrespect i just can't get into these 'Still' pictures that are being used. Just doesn't do anything for me. But best of luck to everyone. I will listen and vote at the end!

I was gonna come as I only live in atherton plus I'm nearly 35 so was a teenager in the 90's would have loved the tunes. However, both my kids decided to vomit all day so had to stay and look after them. Congratulations pal, glad you had a good un. if you gig local again I'll try and make it!

[quote name='bagsieblue' timestamp='1393701050' post='2383572'] I don't think so - he hooked up with us a couple of months ago. Good drummer, good guy - planning to get out on the road soon... [/quote]Thanks mate!

Is this guy still looking?

Voted. If i ever see a pic i like i will start entering again!

Never have i heard such weak excuses!

[quote name='dood' timestamp='1392976948' post='2374766'] Oh and tabs aren't cheating no more than using a thesaurus or dictionary. You only have to ensure that the author has got it right to begin with! [/quote] Don't let the Tablature Disapproval Specialist hear you say that.....what ever happened to him!

Do they tune down to E flat.?That may hinder parts of the tune!

Which bits?

[quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1392847811' post='2373578'] So why did she hide it under that hopeless affectation? Genuine question. I don't really know any of her stuff - she might not always sing like that. [/quote]To be fair that's what i always thought, not that i've heard too much. i heard her speak on X factor, kinda posh-ish middle class then started singing with a mockney twang. Although she's so hot right now (affects Mugatu twang)

Slow week?!?!

I thought someone had uploaded the video of what i got up to last night!

Digging in? Are you doing gigs in the Somme!?

I've been doing lots of fretless this past year. But i have to use both on my next gig. The action seems ridiculously high when i swap to fretted even though i know it isn't. I find it fretted more difficult to play now.
