Glen Campbell wanted to be just a guitarist . Did a tour in the Beach Boys playing bass and singing the falsetto harmonies at the same time . Steve Winwood plays guitar and bass . Emory Gordy ditto .

Here's an interesting video of a composer showing how he uses two slaves and VE : [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dtBxZaUB8p8[/media]

Autistic-pianist-learning-upright-bass here contributing : I also enjoy sound-to-colour synaesthesia , and I find the colours in 432 more saturated , although I don't expect anyone to believe that now . @ Leftybassman ; Ambient is not necessarily bound to equal temperament ; he plays solo 7-string fretless .

There is one with a few words from Leland Sklar at the beginning . If I recall correctly it is in a minor key but he takes his solo to the relative major and finishes his solo with a neat obvious change back that the band compliment him on making it easy to know when his turn was finishing . A classy demo of experience showing how simplest is best . ( It could have a different episode though .)

I would create lines on the unlined board by bleaching them thus ; Get a roll of pinstriping automotive tape of the width you want and put them where you want the lines to be . Once you are happy that they are in the right places , then mask up to them each side with wider masking tape . Remove the first stripes to leave the lines you want to bleach , then dab on wood bleach with a cotton bud as many times as it takes to get the result you want . Remove the masking . This method allows you to check that they are in the right places before committing to permanent change .

I learned flute at 11 . My older brothers threatened to do something with it that is impossible now with a double bass IYKWIM

Here are a couple from Jim Dale ( he of the Carry On fame ) ;- [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pnQwIOiC1SI[/media] And a production to sound like Viv Stanshall : [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8l12OHVmwEI[/media]

Back in '75 , after Led Zeppelin had finished recording the " Presence " album and were about to start a world tour , Robert Plant was injured in a car crash in Greece . The tour was cancelled and they all lived here in Jersey for three months for tax reasons . One night at Behan's nightclub ( since demolished , but I played there in the 70s ) the regular local pianist was joined on stage by Bonzo , then JPJ , then Jimmy P. and finally Robert Plant shuffled on on crutches and sang from a stool , all unannounced .

A quick search for " Cours de Jazz Manouche " ( lesson in Gypsy Jazz ) reveals this ; [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NpFtzNynP8s"]www.youtube.com/watch?v=NpFtzNynP8s[/url] ( -Does anyone know the tune in example 5 ? Is it " Sunny Skies " , or " Blue Skies " or something like that ? ) HTH

My brother knows a piper who hadn't played for many a year . On picking up the pipes again he discovered that he didn't have the puff any more to play so he went to see his doctor to get his breathing checked . It turned out that he was fine and the problem was a leak in the bag part of the pipes !

Reminds me of the " Blowin' In The Wind " and Sam Cooke story .... Sam's grandfather had been a slave whose " owners " called him boy , ( as in " Fetch this , fetch that , Boy ") so Sam was greatly moved by the line " How many roads must a man walk down before you can call him a man ? ". He figured that if a white Jew could write a song about racism then he could too , and came up with " A Change Gonna Come ".

Maybe a The Who's Magic Bus type rework of ; [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ILaTgQBKRbE"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ILaTgQBKRbE[/url] ( Soho's Hippychick )

Work on the fretless ( provided the guitar(s) are in tune , of course ).

It seems one can buy direct from the factory online ( click on Union Jack top left for English ) , and they make a range of 25 ABGs . [url="http://apc-instruments.com/2013/index.php?route=product/category&path=103_68&page=1"]http://apc-instrumen...h=103_68&page=1[/url]

I have an APC tenor uke from Amazon and it is excellent . It too was advertised as coming in a plastic bag and it did ! , but in a box within a larger box .
