I actually think the poor guy may have some kind of problem, clearly he has an enviable lifestyle though :)

I've just looked at this - at the top of his page it says 'Sol Prophet' which I think is some sort of PC-speak for 'deluded b@stard'

Hands up who has never referred to a fret position when playing a fretless bass.

Personally I get annoyed with people on here who talk about a maple/rosewood/ebony neck, when they actually mean the fretboard or fingerboard, but I don't ridicule them for it.

However to say that the first position is halfway between the second 'Fret' and the open string is wrong.[/quote]


You are correct - Hardly the end of the world.






However - after reading all that it feels like it. :)

Sorry Clive - no offence intended.

Absolutely priceless!! I have two young boys trying to get to sleep, but they can't because I'm in the room next door trying desparately to stiffle my giggling from developing into full blown belly-laughter. I swear a little bit of pee came out! :)

So this is where I've been going wrong, to play 5/4 correctly you have to play a few bars of 4/4, each time counting a random selection of numbers between 1 and 5, realise that's what you've done, stop playing for a bit, then start again on the count of a randomly placed number 1....! Simple really :)

It's actually a little bit sad that either someone's put them upto this all the while knowing they're going to be laughed at, or hasn't spoken to them and advised them against it.

None taken at all. I hadn't even looked at the whole clip when I wrote that (my download speed is abysmal) and it seems he is not a good example of how to do anything. I just thought it was a bit harsh to have a go at his use of words.

Come on, he's got to be a satanist, surely? Not many people can come across that creepy and incompetent by accident.[/quote]

Fixed. All that's missing is a cosmic amulet.
