Perfect answer, thanks.

I'm not sure how to word this. For those bands with dep guys already sorted do those dep guys ever rehearse with the band? Does that make sense?

Dazed and confused - Led Zep Brickhouse - The Commodores The first one I've pretty much got, need a little more work. Brickhouse is hard for me.

Nice! My Orange amp is a little smaller

Thanks, I'm very pleased.

Let's dance by David Bowie. Just need to work out the intro now.

No good ones

It's taken weeks to arrive what with the snow and Christmas but today I finally received my Aria SB1000 whooooo

My favourite fill is 'bucket of fish' Ba da da dum

This is likely to be my aim for the future. I'm currently using a compressor and sans amp into the DI in on a 1x12 combo.

I'm also working my way through the Reflex (got up to the chorus so far) and also doing stuff from [url="http://www.amazon.com/Bass-Fitness-Exercising-Handbook-Guitar/dp/0793502489"]http://www.amazon.com/Bass-Fitness-Exercis...r/dp/0793502489[/url] each day.

Nice one, sounds like it went pretty good for a frst gig.

It's worth going in to see the 8 string bass. Like a 12 string guitar. weird.

Nothing that hard. Born under a bad sign (creams version) [url="http://www.facebook.com/v/10150105350631789"]http://www.facebook.com/v/10150105350631789[/url] This was just a test as I've never video'd myself before. Very clear that my jump to the 6th fret on the E could be nicer.

Bass looks awesome

They have a decent bass stock, when i went in there last month they had a '78 jazz and a gorgeous '64 p bass. V&R's stock was very thin on the ground though[/quote] We were in there just before Christmas. They had a tele with a jazz neck that I had a go on. The staff were great. Very busy but polite. My friend played an amp with his own guitar and I think they have a sale there.

Both those versions of Charming man are weird. I really like this performance [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F3hSDODDNs4"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F3hSDODDNs4[/url]

I just said to my wife I'd like to learn some Smiths (and Cure) songs next.

Copying a drum pattern is not that difficult. What it lacks is feel. There is a swing setting on some drum machines and some programs have a randomisation thing built in. The thing is doing it so it sounds good. This was what I meant by programming well in my original post. Pocket, tempo dynamics, volume dynamics. Things that make the difference between a good performance and an OK one. Of course if you got a live drummer they might still be worse that a straightforward programmed drum part. The other thing you might consider is sending your set list to a session drummer and having him make you a CD or getting someone to program the parts for you.

It looks like there's loads of bands in this area looking for a drummer!![/quote] A bit far for me to travel, although my Mrs is from Cleethorpes and wants us to move back. If you get really stuck with making the drum tracks using the method I described with the midi files let me know and I'll try and steer you in the right direction.

I really like it. I'm inspired enough to work on my vocals to do my own solo effort.

I've had a couple of nice rackmount compressors for a while but nothing I'd want to take out of the house. I jsut recently tried a whole bunch of compression pedals (basically everything I could find in NYC) and ended up with the demeter. It is so musical, the two knob design is easy to understand and the way it works is different to the other two knob models. I think that anyone could plug this in and get it right away. The knobs are 'compress' and 'Volume' and that translates to Ratio and Gain but it doesn't matter as the effect is obvious.
