Yeah, I'd read that it varied amongst orchestras depending where they were based. I've heard them tuning to the oboe many times when I've seen classical concerts.

How wrong though.

As with all things eBay, PayPal or indeed anything nowadays, it's just a way to make even more money.

That's the common thing that people struggle with moving from a 4 to a 5. I know I did, but I'm teaching someone who's recently moved to 5 or 6. I stop them playing anything below the 5th fret, apart from the low B notes , they're banned from playing below the 5th, at least in my presence . They're playing a 5 or a 6 string, but still 'thinking' 4 string, the thought is all about the new low notes, but there's a whole lot more to it than that. I find it just helps to forget the 4 string thing, and to move on and adapt to the extra string(s).

Just keep playing it, and don't think too much about it. Can I ask a question though ? Why are you playing below the 5th fret, I know tonally sometimes it works better for songs, and you've got low D#, D and C etc, but part of the beauty of an eub to me is that I can stay in one position, usually I do all my playing from the 5 fret upwards.

My one uncle was a big McCartney fan, more his later 70s Wings stuff though. I think their big album was Band on the Run.

I had a chart for master blaster too.

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1424991750' post='2702830'] I'm ok at blagging that one actually and we normally keep arrangements fairly simple, thanks though, now I'm not sure about our guitarist nailing the EVH solo! [/quote] That's the key part of the song that pretty much everyone remembers and air guitars along too

Got a chart for Beat it if you want ?

[quote name='Musashimonkey' timestamp='1424980184' post='2702627'] Both, although '6 string bassics' covers a range of technical exercises, it's the only book I've managed to find suited to 6 string bass, against the overwhelming material for 4 string. I Just went for it too! [/quote] Whereabouts are you ?

[quote name='TheGreek' timestamp='1424954318' post='2702259'] No doubt posters will be at a premium with Mark King playing - "[i]please Mark can you sign my poster..[/i]." [/quote] Didn't realise Mark King was gonna be there, that's kind of put me off going. Imagine the din of 500 people all thinking they too can play like Mark @@$%^& King !

I'd really like to go to this, bit pricey though. Is there a student discount ticket ?

I have a lot of stuff, I was gonna do a book, but haven't had time. What specifically do you want ?
