This, from the very first 'chip' of the hi-hat, is right on the money for setting the pace. Play it through a couple of times, and admire how Casady comes in with his thundering riff and it all takes off...

? ? ? This ^^ makes more sense, and is very easy to do, once you've worked on it slowly. It becomes second-nature for any 'four on the floor' riffs. First on one string, then across the strings, eventually string skipping. Try it..?

Good morning, BN, and ... Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share.

Ahem ... 13th August ...

Sunshine of your Love - Cream

What..? Not even Cliff Fish (Paper Lace...)..? (We can maybe forgive the oversight of Nico Assumpção, a Brazilian bass player, but it would be a shame, as he's darned good. ...)

Wasn't that rather Valéry Giscard d'Estaing (2nd February...)..?

So, we've not met, eh..?

At the end of our set, I lay out on the floor, wherever I can, to recover, and try to breath a little. There's rarely still anyone calling for more when I'm able to sit up or try to talk; most of the chairs have been upturned on the tables and the house lights are on for sweeping up.

Bass players..? Phil Lynott. Plenty of others too, though, including Jim Reeves, Robert Plant, 'Dimebag' Darrell, Dave Brock and Isaac Hayes.

Good evening, Albert, and ... Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share.

Good evening, DC, and ... Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share.

Ail..! Ail..! Ail..!

Specially commissioned for 'Tears For Fears'..? It's eye-wateringly expensive.

An interesting tack. In my case, at infant school, we heard Saint-Saëns, Prokofiev and Liszt, and at home, Listen With Mother (Think 'Joyce Grenfell' - 'George... Don't do that..!') and 'South Pacific'. No 'pop music' until mid-teens (Yardbirds, Astrid Gilberto, Lonnie Donegan...). T'wasn't till I left education and stumbled across Jefferson Airplane that things 'took off'.

Good evening, Harps, and ... Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share.

Good evening, Rui, and ... Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share.

Is there an adapter to convert from mini-jack to normal jack..? These can be delicate for some headsets. Another detail... Are you sure it's a stereo headset, with only TRS (Tip, Ring, Sleeve...) contacts, and not a more modern 'phone-type, with an extra ring for mic or volume control..? These work for 'phones and some laptops, but need a different converter for normal, stereo, jack sockets such as your interface. Just a thought.

Looks and sounds nice, but looking it up, I see 2000€. I'm out.

Perhaps not, if they pay out £1200 if it gets busted or 'lost'. How would one know..? That's the problem, really; many shippers apparently don't pay up.

Good evening, Raphaello, and ... Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share.

If it's that good, why don't you go yourself..? ...

What are these 'pedals' of which you speak..?
