What's the deal if you decide to start selling the music that has been recorded? Does the bassist get any kind of royalties?

The one thing I will say for damn near anyone, if you really want to get stuck in with any kind of theory owning a keyboard will really help. It's much easier to visualise

Just remember you don't have to be able to memorise the lot! You can look everything up on the internet when you need it so don't get frustrated if you forget pieces here and there

Bet you don't have a neck that looks like this!

[quote name='fumps' timestamp='1341325392' post='1717050'] Ok right Ya see I do think Basschat should have a Bass beginners section ! So G,B & D all make up the "G chord" so any of these notes would sound ok & am I right in saying that anything that is not those three would sound poop ? or can you play anything in the G major scale ? and that is ok ? We should have a BC you ask questions forum [/quote] Technically speaking you can get away with anything in the G major scale with that chord, things get a little bit more tricky/interesting once you introduce a second chord Sticking to just the played notes of the guitar is just a "sure fire" way of not hitting a duff note

If you start to get involved in keys then you will see that the G major scale has 1 sharp in it (F#), so this means you can play any note out of... G,A,B,C,D,E,F#,G There's guys who know a LOT more about this than I do though and sometimes you SHOULDN'T be able to play certain notes but because of context you can. If I'm just jamming with a guitarist I tend to look at what he's playing and just work it out from there. If I hit a duff note, I'll try not to hit it again

What you can get away with playing takes bit more into account than just the current chord being played... Although if you want to play it safe then.. look at the notes that are being played on the guitar (this is how I learned). Standard G on guitar is String (Fret) /Note E (3) / G, A(2) / B, D(0) / D, G(0) / G, B(0) / B,E(3) /G So without knowing anything about keys at this point we know G, B and D will fit with a G chord.

Recklessly laid back... as long as it doesn't result in coldplay then go for it

Well done on having the drive to work at it mate, understanding the instrument as thoroughly as you state isn't a prerequisite for playing though. I don't think you should give up playing with other people just because you don't yet understand the inner mechanics (if you do this then you won't have anyone to test this with). I think what you really need is a new driving force (new band) but one that you REALLY want to get into, a style of music that YOU want to play. The thrash metal doesn't work for you anymore, fair enough but surely there's other styles that you would like to play?

[quote name='spinynorman' timestamp='1341318696' post='1716864'] I recently had a similar experience. GAS Me "I want it!" Sensible Me "Of course, it's lovely, but what do you want it for?" GAS Me " .... errrr" Sensible Me "See. You'll thank me later." [/quote] What is this "Sensible" that you speak of?

Awesome artwork on all of these!

Maybe a tad out of date but... [url="http://campuslife.asus.com/index/6960/the-top-5-android-tablet-browsers-compared/"]http://campuslife.asus.com/index/6960/the-top-5-android-tablet-browsers-compared/[/url]

If the Android phones are anything to go by I would highly recommend dolphin browser (dolphin browser HD on the phones is the best one, despite having "HD" for no apparent reason). On a quick net search there's quite a lot of issues surrounding the opera browser on android.

Nice one! Now for the first gig!

I get the same thing, keep meaning to go back and fiddle but them remember how good my sound is when recorded so I don't. Don't forget you have the programmable frequencies (on the shift key)

Em Including keyboard too

Warwick,still awesome I've never tried a TecAmp though I hear good things.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1341227398' post='1715306'] Same thing. [/quote]

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1341224768' post='1715265'] Not at all. Your child will eventually damage your basses [/quote]

[quote name='MacDaddy' timestamp='1341160113' post='1714493'] So any idea about the sign in button? [/quote] Use the one on your computer or phone instead of on the kindle In all fairness the kindle browser does classify itself as "experimental"

[quote name='Twigman' timestamp='1340980641' post='1712401'] Since Spotify added links to buy the music our record Co has at last allowed our stuff onto Spotify. Bizarrely we seem to have 2 listings with different albums in each listing. I am curious as to how the 'Artist Radio' selects which artists are played to the listener. This afternoon I have been testing this by playing Sad Lovers & Giants Artist Radio to see who Spotify line up. So far I've heard Danse Society /Red Lorry Yellow Lorry/ Section25/ MyDad is Dead / Eleven Pond / The Names These are not normally bands that we or our fans associate with our sound. How does Spotify decide what to stream? I always thought that it would be bands from the same genre with a similar sound. Which bands play when you listen to your own 'Artist Radio' ? [/quote] My guess is that it's playing stuff that people who have listened to your music commonly listen too. That's how I would do it anyway.
