    is it just me here that really does not give a t0ss what they are arguing about? First world problem. I honestly don't know why anyone gives them oxygen ** "of publicity" of course. I'm not suggested their lives are a bit empty at all...

    Looks good to me
  3. Geek99
    Leaving it prone to derailment by people who know better?
  4. Geek99
    So some kind of crazy, “forum search” antics needs to happen more often?
  5. Geek99
    They’re rubbish for threading
  6. Geek99
    Is “chloe Leonard” your weekend name then ? Wink wink nudge nudge

    Lightbulb with valves or solid state ? There is a real difference I hear. (Or do I really hear it ?) hmmm
  8. Geek99
    Yeah but then you’d need to argue if feel is “in the fingers”

    Don’t tell me, Stevie wonder ... drool

    I have, my friend, a metallurgist, is fine as long as he takes things slowly

    What a totally stinky poo relic job.... 4/10 try harder 🤣
  12. Geek99
    Surely also two to argue the merits of relic lightbulbs and three more to ask if we “really need another jazz light bulb” and how much it would for an original lightbulb design to be offered next time

    Pass the pop corn, I’m getting deja vu

    I’m not naturally musical and I’m not super intelligent. You can get a reasonable grasp on most subjects given enough time and an appropriate bite sized chunk approach

    i started with a guitar, but I just hated it. I would have picked up bass sooner, if I had had one. However I really regret not having played double bass (or ERB)

    To be honest my first though was “you lazy ...” but then i thought about it a bit more. Back in 2001 i wanted to get certified in java nd i struggled in motivation. In th send i booked the test to give me an end goal. Then i got out a calendar nd allocated a topic to each day, with revision days. You don’t need someone else to organise you. ad i passed...

    You could teach yourself - it’s not hard

    Yes but amputation is final and there is no going back. it is a different situation Not learning to read is different because you are voluntarily passing up on a method of communication, rather than being unable to communicate
  19. Geek99
    What good would it do if you could only communicate with your fellow English humans by sign language as opposed to communicating using a system of mutually understood words? That’s how I see reading music, you cannot share bass tab with a drummer (or indeed anything) learn it, but at a pace you can cope with. So a few key signatures, then one stave, then some rhythm symbols. Rome wasn’t built in a day, being unable to read music is having one hand tied behind your back

    I listened to iron maiden this morning - lyrical drivel
  21. Geek99
    “Not buying a cowbell” seems a good answer
  22. Geek99
    Still are
  23. Geek99
    Ed Friedlands book is a good start

    It’s like saying “don’t watch youtube! Ever” Tuning by ear comes with time or not at all. It really doesn’t matter if you can’t do it. I still can’t get it right and you know what ? The sky has not fallen in. I don’t see the harm in ten minutes of random notes or noodling to a simple drum beat (as part of a balanced practice routine). How else will you gain the confidence to play with a drummer without the crutch of a metronome?
