[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1347445694' post='1800806'] IME experience there are two types of session. One where the music has all been worked out and what is required are musicians to come in and play what they are told. For this you need to be able to read, be versatile in terms of styles and techniques and get on and do as you are told as quickly as possible. The other type is where the song exists as little more than lyrics and vocal melody and maybe some chords. The musicians will be expected to add some creative input to flesh out the song into a finished arrangement. Normally they are booked primarily for their playing style. Reading doesn't matter since there won't be anything more than a basic chord chart to read (and that will have probably changed massively by the time the final version has been recorded). The person organising the session will have a good idea of the playing styles required and will book the musicians accordingly. In this instance creativity is what is required. [/quote] there is also both at the same time

What i find quite interesting is how a top session player can't read music. Not that there is a problem with that, it's just you can encounter quite a lot of snobbery from session players who read towards those who can't. I've seen it on here, people going on about how in the 'real world' of gigs you need to read, no tab etc, i've witnessed it whilst on gigs towards those who can't....quite sad. So it's good to now some of the very best don't/can't.

[quote name='ezbass' timestamp='1347098614' post='1796893'] It'd be interesting to see how many non muso types could name songs with a bass feature in it. Hat certainly, maybe Alright Now, My Generation and Level42 song of your choosing, but outside of those the bass is probably not noticed, I'd love to be really wrong about that and not giving Joe and Joanne Public enough credit. [/quote] Another one bites the dust, Under pressure, summer nights, blues brothers tune (whatever its called), there's gotta be loads more

no way,to my eternal shame i never noticed the opening melody to The Rite of Spring. I love Stravinsky, particularly The Rite, I was even part of a shortened prog rock version that we did a college.

Has anyone listened to Zooma? there is some killer bass playing, sounds and tunes on that album!

[quote name='silddx' timestamp='1346610072' post='1791191'] Mate we are the same on here! We'll watch an Asian transvestite, the wrong drummer, Neil Peart f***ing up an intro, but will we head over to the BC Recording section and listen to BCers' bands? [/quote] Ha ha. So true, I think that should end the thread really!

The reason is...................slags! I used to run pubs, karaoke attracts groups of young easy woman. Where they go, men go

How come there is no love for Mr. Gone. I know it's not epic but there are a couple of good numbers on it. River People and Punk JAzz ( i especially like where it turns into like a 70's detective show tune then to kinda sludge) to name two.

[quote name='spongebob' timestamp='1346059585' post='1784514'] I've always thought as the Foo's as a band which you quite like.....I just never really get excited about what they do. Some great - amazing - tracks, obviously a good solid live act, but for me they've always just lacked that special something. Maybe it's just me! [/quote] Yeah, apart from the one or two killer tracks on each album the rest kinda sounds the same.

It looks like he could do with a few lessons. if he keeps practising he might be get to be quite good. Also he needs to buy a better bass so that he doesn't keep need to tuning it whilst playing!

seems a bargain. i was just browsing not looking to buy anything, but i am tempted.

Just seen this on Thomann. [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/hartke_215b_xl.htm"]http://www.thomann.de/gb/hartke_215b_xl.htm[/url] Don't get it. Why so cheap? Are they shocking? Are 2x15 not good? Is this a can of worms? Why are we here?

Quote your sources and no plagiarism after the fact please! I'll start with: "What do you mean I'm not kind? Just not your kind." (Dave Mustaine, Megadeth) "It doesn't matter what you say.... ' cos they'll always find some meaning in it anyway." (Henry Rollins, The Rollins Band) [/quote] "What d'ya mean i don't pay my bills! Why do you think i'm always broke?!" (Dave Mustaine, Megadeth)

From what i've heard tho, older gibsons are better than new ones. I once played a 73 Standard and it was much better than a 95 custom. That is my only reference point tho it may not be completely true.

Why can't you like all of it! I love groove music, i love heavy technique music, i love crazy experimental music, trad jazz, cheesy cheesy pop music, classic rock. Non groovy music, punk. I don't get why you can't like it all!

[quote name='icastle' timestamp='1344199431' post='1761208'] Just make sure you're wearing rubber gloves... Oops - wrong forum... [/quote] Ha ha

[quote name='icastle' timestamp='1344198885' post='1761193'] I'm more of a 'verses, choruses and a bit of a tune' sort of guy. [/quote] Me too but i like sticking my fingers in a lot of pies! fnuurr fnuurr!

When i started at music college during theory lecture the lecturer addressed the class. He said "When people asked me what i do i used to say i was a pianist. They would say 'oh really di you know this tune, do you know that tune'. I got fed up of this so i started saying i was a musician. Then they would say 'really, what drugs do you take'. So i started telling people i was an Emotive Response Manipulator. They didn't say anything" I liked this so when people ask me the question............I say i'm a musician!

Does it sound exactly the same every time they play it? I ain't being arsey with this question. i write experimental stuff from time to time. I studied 20th century contemporary music (minimalism, serialsim, aleatory etc) at uni and fuse it with the pop and jazz rock etc when the feeling takes me.

Its funny to me how some are talking about hate for altered tunings. Its just a tuning. It's not like they've pissed in your face or slept with your girlfriend.

How about get your bass set up in C standard. Then relearn everything in that tuning and then you can play all your C metal stuff aswell.

[size=5][sub]I absolutely love her! My mum got me into her music when i was five. Then when i was older i fell in love for different reasons. Ha ha. her music and songwriting is genius. One of the best. There is good bass playing on loads of her stuff. Babooshka for starters. (good for other reasons too!)[/sub][/size] http://youtu.be/6xckBwPdo1c and check this out http://youtu.be/8CzKUmy6TFQ
