[quote name='nobody's prefect' timestamp='1396915060' post='2418808'] Aye... But how does this theory hold with tango, funk and son all being written predominantly in 4/4? Very different feels apart from 'play it on one and --- no, wait, you don't play it on one in a ton of latin music. All the ToP scores I saw were written in 4/4 or 3/4 - didn't see many of those, granted. [/quote] Well, it's all written out in the intricacies within the music. Yes in syncopation I guess in some cases. It also helps if you know which style of music you're going to be playing before you try reading it. I had my education about 20 years ago so maybe methods and ways of thinking about it have changed now. I'm all for keeping it simple and I do in my own way and get by ok, but I'm not a professional musician who's out there at reading gigs every week. I do like playing in funny time signatures for fun still though

I was taught that the second number in the time signature is the feel, the most predominant type of note being used. an 8th note feel or a quarter note feel for example. The first note being how many of them there are in a bar. It's simple that way. Also, I don't agree with using "and a" to describe 8th notes. To me you would only count like that for 16th notes (1e and a 2e and a...etc.) Regarding playing covers such as the Foo Fighters track seashell mentioned, just try and sing/hum along to the riff til you and everyone gets it. As long as you can get inside the groove and play it well it really doesn't matter if you can name the time signature or count it. Sometimes less thinking is best!

[quote name='HowieBass' timestamp='1396733306' post='2416952'] Yeah I wanted Christina Marie too... ... I mean to win, obviously! [/quote] Me too. She was the one I'd actually pay to see. Killer voice man.

Yeah good read ta, enjoyed it. Just been turned on to Tons Of Sobs actually by someone at a jam last weekend. It's pretty killer isn't it? Amazing he was still a teenager when they recorded it. Mind blowing.

Why do you ask? What are your requirements? For flats defo Thomastik jazz flats, or if they are too pricey for you, Lakland light flats. For round wounds look for strings with a round core such as the Hi Beams. Status Hotwire pro round(core) are low tension (100-40) but feel and sound fantastic. Dead responsive, supple without being floppy. Hope that makes sense.

You have to wait 36 hours between bumps.

..and the tap drips drip drip drip drip drip.. The Cure - 10.15 Saturday Night. (Love it!) My go.. "So I broke into the palace".. Over to you.

Can't listen to your link on my phone unfortunately but I did see Guru's Jazzmatazz at a festival once (Glastonbury?) Incredible! N'dea Davenport sang with them too. Big thumbs up for The Pharcyde also. I was at Phoenix '96 and was literally frog marched to a marquee to see them by a mate who insisted, "you're a bass player, you HAVE to check these guys OUT!!"(I had wanted at the time to see some now long forgotten Indie boll*cks). man he was so right! It was packed in there and they tore it up, had everyone in the palm if their hand. I became an instant fan!

[quote name='Dave Vader' timestamp='1395838453' post='2406877'] I for one am looking forward to hearing the final mixed version, while watching it on my TV with a bottle next to me, and my feet up. Middle age is fast approaching, and rock and roll is dead. [/quote] Nah, rock n roll is all about doing what you want and not compromising for anyone. So, you don't want to go out and be herded like cattle? Dude, you rock!!

The Cure - The Caterpillar: http://youtu.be/nzxJ5YvYfx4 Love it when that happens. Opens the floodgates of memory to times forgotten in this crazy busy day-to-day we have now. Same thing happened to me when I heard The Caterpillar by The Cure recently.

Wow! Congratulations to all the contributing artists. Amazing music there. Enjoyed it all and it gets harder every month to choose I must say.

[quote name='bubinga5' timestamp='1395350284' post='2401545'] no matter the music genre, there are good and bad music vids, live or other. some taken by a crap phone camera, or by pro cameras and sound equipment. anyways this has got be a favourite of mine. Raphael Saddiq is great, and the singer at 7.45 is off the wall good. its only from my own musical perspective of course, but i like to post music that i reckon is great, and if I'm going post my sh*t i want it to be in the best possible quality.!!!! anyways. here is some great stuff.
