`old chatstuffers'? That dont sound too good! You'll never be a proper one man band if you dont strap a pair of cymbals to the inside of your knees!
-
yeah, -what he said. Hello, come in, choose a crayon.

All I can recall about Absynth is, that it "Makes the heart grow fonder".

I went to see Joe Pass at Ronnie Scotts Club some 25 years ago. Joe was sitting on a stool playing unaccompanied guitar with his eyes shut. Oscar Peterson dropped by to see Joe play. He walked to the piano on the stage and gently began to play an accompaniment. Joe heard this, inclined his head and opened one eye to see who it was. He nodded, closed his eyes again and they jammed.... A great jazz happening.

The bass can work subliminally on an audience. Not a bad thing really. Kind of a `Stealth' musical instrument.
-
The role of bass is unique. I can play a bass, but no way am I a bass player. Assuming the bass role is the key I believe.
-
My son showed no aptitude for guitar whatsoever. I love him, but how should I say this?... he was crap! He picked up piano pretty well though. Start saving for that Telecaster now BS.
-
Yeah, l really like a guitar sound with that `long wave' radio hiss effect.
-
John, No. Too many expenses! Will be sometime after Christmas I expect. I'm looking over specs of newer gear now. I get mags & flyers from Rowland a couple of times a year. Im due one about now I think. Steve thinks I should persevere with the PC, but I find it too frustrating to work with.
-
I dunno, I always fancied a go on a melotron. Failing that, maybe some after shave. huh? Who's this guitar player that piddled over your God then?
-
Doru, Sounds fine. Can you tell me whether these include instrument samples? If so do they need tuning/editing? thanks Rudi
-
Didier, Sorry for the late reply, been absent for a while & lost some threads. Glad you got something you can work with. I will be sure to give these a try. atb Rudi

Bert Jansch & also the Rev. Gary Davis. Without thier influence, I would sound entirely different when I play guitar. As for this... Are you having a laugh? What does he do that is so wonderful? It cant be the interpretation because he plays it not for note as per the Albert Lee original on the eponimous Heads, Hands & Feet album (why not cite Lee?). Also, its played at the wrong tempo (so you cant hear it properly) and finally, its a live recording (which you profess not to like). So what is Ricky's impact on your approach to music Steve? Has it inspired you to write bluegrass or something? :-*
-
You fellers have inspired me. Im going to play a whole gig soon without a pick. Ive already got the hand lotion and will be lubing the nails daily.

Divinity is a good attribute in a producer! Shall we take a vote? Or... will you ordain? Everybody has a skill of some sort Mine is making totem poles :'( steady lads....
-
I think you have it right. A producer oversees & makes creative decisions about the recordings. However.... It varies a great deal. Concider Geoge Martin & the Beatles. George was the man in every respect in the early days. He even decided who would and would not play! What songs were included, which songs were chucked out. Hiring strings to sweeten balads etc. but by the time Sgt. Pepper came along, his role was to support and help realise the ideas of the band. But he was still the producer. Its a flexible role.
-
They need humility, its good for them. Steve can give a few examples of this (like feeding them the wrong key before a song) Ever thought of buying a pneumatic instrument lead? Youll need to find a compresser (no not the mastering sort) with a capacity shut off valve. A hard hat is a good idea too.
-
Well said. I concur!
-
No no! Its vitally important to launder them first. (or are you on about the Womens Formation Skydiving again?) Anyway this technique doesnt work. I used it to re-mix the `Birdie Song' this morning, and it sounds as sickly commercial as it ever did.
-
dunno, hes been doing that ever since we discussed singing into gussets.
-
ooooh look! That last post was good enough to get me promoted to 4 star General! Cant wait to tell the family. Im nearly up there with Great Uncle Fred who was a Field Marshal in the Salvation Army, or even Great Uncle Norman who had his own Civil Defence Bunker for 30 years and never paid a phone bill. Does my duck get a braided hat now?
-
Hmmm, not sure you have the most helpful motivational image there Steve. Rudi (puts a disturbing slant on some :-X lyrics too!)
-
I read about using a pair of tights stretched in front of a mic as a pop filter. I guess whoever does this does not have a wife around. I cant believe that any woman would ever believe this. Its much easier to think of you as a pervert.
-
Cut to the chase, why not just shove the singer in there? (and go down the pub)?
-
Well, I asked around and came up with nothing. I am MOST surprised! I know one more music shop retailer that may have some idea but it may be a while before I see him.
