  1. Hi Larry, Welcome from Portsmouth UK. You must be the most prolific lyricist ever.
  2. Interesting link. I will bookmark it. Thanks.
  3. Sounds very effective to me. The vibrato control is excellent, the overall effect very expressive. Go with it.
  4. Hi James Welcome from Portsmouth UK
  5. Hi Mikey, We ought to have a welcome emoticon also. (and another like this except he should be waving his finger too.) Welcome to SS
  6. Nice one! (I just use the front room) Welcome aboard the SS ong tuff
  7. I dont like compression much at all. I play most rhythm without any effects on a clean channel on stage. It allows me to hear myself correctly at all times. I prefer the sound of live cuts from 60's & 70's for the same reason. IMO, Its only when massive amount of distortion are present that you need to address the problem anyway.

    Guitar Heroes

    Like Steve, not hero’s as such, but I listened to quite a few. King Crimson & Pink Floyd were my favourite bands then, so Bob Fripp & Dave Gilmore were icons certainly. I preferred Gilmore’s bottle necked atonal noises to his ‘proper’ playing. I loved Fripp’s jazz informed playing. Electric: Mick Abrahams (Blodwyn Pig) & Rory Gallagher (Taste). Acoustic: Bert Jansch & Michael Chapman (I learned almost everything off ‘Fully Qualified Survivor’ & ‘Rainmaker’,
  11. Good expression of what torment feels like. You're not exactly rational in that condition right?

    Hooks

    For my writing at least, a hook is often the least visible portion of the song, being the foundation stone of the whole thing. Take it out & the whole thing collapses. At its most elemental it is usually just two notes. I think the most interesting hooks are phrasing ones. I consider that in certain pop songs the Police did, the hook is the bass line. Think of 'Beds Too Big Without You' or 'Walkin On the Moon'. The bass is likely the first thing that pops into your head when you think of those tunes.

  16. Hiya Heck, Sorry Im late. Weve met already I know...
  17. Allan, On my bands recording session, we took 2 full days to do 4 songs. That gave us the flat colourless pre-mix data. It wasnt until a few days later that some of the band sat in on the actual mix. I couldnt be there due to being out of town on work business. If I had been I wouldnt have allowed the alto sax to be cut at a key moment. We got a reasonable result, but someone with savy needs to be present at the mix.

  20. Have you played a guitar with a busy inlay John? You may find that concentrating on what you are doing eliminates distraction.
