Good morning, N, and ... Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share. (S'all we needed, a backward Norwegian..! ) ...

Good afternoon, B&T , and ... Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share.

Fixed.

Good afternoon, Alex , and ... Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share. (Dirt pedals..? Ugh..! Shivers...)

I certainly agree that Linux is not for everyone (but, then again, Apple is out of financial reach of many, myself included, despite its qualities...). Depends, too, on one's usage. My humble PC is a fine platform for the modest stuff I 'produce', but would not suffice in a professional recording studio, or even a top-drawer home studio. Linux can work, however, for those with limited hardware, provided that the effort required for passing the learning curve is accepted. There are snobs available at every corner of t'web, it would seem..! Luckily, there are many sources, so one may choose the most convivial, depending on one's temperament.

Hmm... I'm not a Linux user. I did, however, manage to download stuff from the Airwindows site, simply by clicking on the link helpfully provided beneath each video. Seemed simple enough to me. As to the other list, of 'native' plug-ins, it may not rival other platforms, but there's still a fair few to get one's feet wet, no..? Disingenuous post ^^, I'd say; not your usual helpful quality. A bit 'snobbish', even.

From the UK Customs web page ... Bringing goods into the UK ... ... Allowance for other goods... You can bring in other goods worth up to £390 (or up to £270 if you arrive by private plane or boat). If a single item’s worth more than your allowance you pay any duty or tax on its full value, not just the value above the allowance. ... Declare any goods over your allowance. Your goods could be seized if you don’t declare them. ...

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

Good gracious, no..! Whatever gave you that idea..? Almost libellous, to boot..! Retract, I say; retract or face the consequences.

S'been over fifty years, on guitar and/or bass, and have never managed to use one of those plectrum thingies. Not much 'cop' with fingers either, though.

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

Nowt special in France, that I know of...

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

Good morning, SS , and ... Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share. Hope things are looking up for you.

All my ex-floozies Did me down low But now I see clearly I'm past that, and how..!

The trick about writing good lyrics Is to just use your sense of empirics When you come to use 'Orange' You'll just have to write 'Sporange' You'll have everyone in hysterics.

That's interesting..! To me, it sounds just like the 'Hounslow' (pronounced locally as 'arnsler'...) pronunciation of the word 'subtle': su-ul..! Quite different to the Soul version we normally use. As it's now officially Bejing, formally Peking, maybe Su-ul could be adopted by Auntie Beeb for Seoul..?

And the winner is... Lurksalot..! Here, then, is your Winner's Certificate (download and save as pdf file, then proudly print and frame...) ... BC_Chal_Cert_2018_10.pdf ... which looks like this (but bigger, of course..!)...

If only I could skate.

Wish I'd know earlier...

I read this from the Original Post ... '...My love of the instrument however, leads me, at regular intervals, down the path to improving my knowledge of the scales / modes and the theory connecting them to the relative chords...' Seems fine to me to have a look at any and all things that interest the fellow, no..? Not saying that chord tones etc are not important, nor worthy of study, but there's a whole world just over the horizon, just waiting for the curious. None of it is a waste of time, if one's motivated and keen. Just my view on things, of course.

The immediate answer to the question above is 'No, you haven't.' However, once you've understood the lesson, and are happy playing it with confidence, yes, you can move up a couple of frets and play the same stuff in another key. No sweat, eh..? Once you're happy with playing 'em both, choose another key (not necessarily two frets up, but it could be...), rinse and repeat. You'll then have three of 'em nailed. Not bad, eh..? It might take a few days, or a few weeks; that depends. However, in doing that (and knowing which key is which...), it'll probably 'click' ('light-bulb' moment...) that you can in fact, do the same anywhere on the neck, and you'll already know what's happening. No need to 'study' each one in isolation, just one or two and the others will sort themselves out. Don't look to the summit of that mountain, just to the next low ridge to cross. Before you know it, you'll be at the summit. Bravo..!
