  1. Well we have got through it in F without the dots, I will use them to fine tune my version, now what we did find is that bit in the middle is a sort of not in the same key so that might be the route of the discussion regarding the accidentals? I'll have a look when I get time. Is there a version in F on here?
  2. I heard that Malcolm young wrote all the guitar parts and Angus learnt them from him and added the theatrics?
  3. Just looked at my message, he says F? Got practice with him tonight so I'll see.
  4. Just need to get my reading brain into gear then drop it all a tone now.......
  5. [url=https://postimg.org/image/3a6x3jmvjf/][/url] [url=https://postimg.org/image/2ulfs03z57/][/url] I ended up having it took out a couple of years after as it was thought to be the source of my restricted movement, unfortunately it wasn't so it's still fecked. Almost everyone that has this injury gets carpal tunnel after, as do double bass players and anyone that uses power tools at work or as a hobby, I do all of them
  6. https://flic.kr/p/Xb5LGE My wrist/hand is fecked, I wouldn't wish it on anyone, can't you dep out or as suggested share this one? Maybe a basschat collective effort?!
  7. [quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1507837824' post='3388338'] Is your computer plugged into a wall socket and switched on..? Is the keyboard plugged in and working correctly..? Do you use a mouse; if so, is it working correctly..? Have you tried switching it off, then switching it on again..? ... or (on a PC...) ... Right-click on the document link Select 'Save linked content as...' Save to local disk, using one of the names suggested, as a 'pdf' file. Failing any of the above, take up knitting, and ask on Mumsnet if anyone has the pattern for [insert favourite cardigan here...] Hope this helps. [/quote] I can change a Morris minor head gasket with my eyes closed, computer stuff well that's a different matter!
  8. Ah got it to open on my phone, thanks Douglas. Singer wants it in a different Key so that's my homework! Ta
  9. [quote name='blue' timestamp='1507832239' post='3388301'] That guy seemed pretty much harmless. Seemed like he was actually trying to be decent. Lol Blue [/quote] One of my bands has developed a small following when we play certain venues, which is really nice, one guy comes and stands/dances right up the front all night so I presumed he was both enjoying himself and probably checking out our attractive young lady singer at the same time, after the third gig I realised he was checking me out, I am a bit slow sometimes like that He bought me a drink after the gig last time, nice bloke but not my type what with the penis and what not.
  10. As the title, I can busk it but I need some reading practice anyway, two birds and one stone etc Thanks
  11. [quote name='peteb' timestamp='1507819409' post='3388198'] Currently I play pretty much exclusively what would be considered to be 'music pubs', where punters come to see the band. I can't think of a recent gig where the band was ignored by any significant section of the audience and there is never any trouble, even (especially) in the biker bars where there could be potential for violence if anyone was foolhardy enough to cause any problems. [/quote] Same here, I wouldn't stay in a band that played those venues if they were being ignored, crap band or crap venue choice I'd say.
  12. I've actually got an album credit for a slap part I was specifically asked to play in the studio after dropping it in at the rehearsal for live shows.
  13. On the other hand I think it's just a lazy dig at those that don't enjoy slap to say it's because they can't do it, I dislike lots of things but not because I can't do them myself.
  14. [quote name='blue' timestamp='1507707536' post='3387303'] Huh? Most people I know haven't stopped gigging because they have a decent job. Everyone in my band except me works and have more than decent jobs. They gig because it's something they love to do and like this type of work. So, let me try and understand this. If I get a decent job I'll won't have the need to gig, so I'll stop gigging? Blue [/quote] So they are doing four or five four hour bar gigs a week on top of full time day jobs?
  15. [quote name='blue' timestamp='1507664457' post='3387153'] If there is an issue it's posting a want ad and not being clear on exactly what your offering. Blue [/quote] They posted an ad, you asked a few questions and they were straight up honest with their long term plans, you're looking for professional work on websites aimed at weekend warrior bands, maybe you need an agent?
  16. [quote name='bazztard' timestamp='1507603410' post='3386702'] THIS x1000 not everybody can be a musician if it ain't in you it ain't in you there is no rule that says just because you bought a bass, amp and lessons that you can be a bassist [/quote] Damn someone has already used up today's Adam Clayton joke quota!
  17. I think blue has forgotten that playing an instrument is primarily a hobby in fact some genres have never looked to be profitable, no not jazz! I'm thinking of things like brass bands where the whole point was an evening out in the warm with friends rehearsing, if the gigs covered the cost of rehearsal space and a coach to get them to gigs that was a bonus.
  18. [quote name='peteb' timestamp='1507622733' post='3386764'] The thing is that there are plenty of good players out there who want to play but are just to busy to commit to a full time band at the moment but want to keep their hand in and maybe play the occasional gig. [/quote] Certainly, count me in that group.
  19. [quote name='blue' timestamp='1507589711' post='3386674'] Can't argue that, these days there are a little guys that want to play but have no interest in the hard work of a gig schedule. Blue [/quote] I don't think it's the lack of interest it's the lack of need if they've got a decent job.
  20. Lots of people enjoy 'playing' at other people's jobs, I enjoy tinkering with old cars but I don't want to do it all the time, a bit of DIY at the weekend is a British institution with well paid people having a dabble at being a trades person for the weekend but they are normally glad to be back in the office for a rest by Monday.
