    I have many more adjectives for such an event, none of which are printable here.

    Second line of my CV there, currently entering a ‘futility loop’.

    That condition is better than ok and warrants a higher price, don’t diddle yourself Sir, that’s a beautiful bass.

    The good thing about your backside is that it seems to understand that all humans are different. More power to your backside Sir.

    Wouldn’t it be nice if there was such a mix in everything in the world?

    Oh yes, I wholly agree, it would be foolish not to try all methods and see what works best for you, especially methods tried and tested by others, all I’m saying is that there won’t be one method that suits everyone.

    We are all different so we should do it whichever way feels most productive, no one way is best for everyone.
  8. Frank Blank
    Apparently so.

    Can I just share that eureka moment, I thought the dots on an unlined were in the same place as a fretted!

    They are expensive but they are built to last, cheap laptops are a false economy IMHO.

    Man I’m enjoying Tune Yards at the moment...

    MacBook with the discount and get an external drive. I run Logic Pro X on mine and it’s fine.

    I’m not sure, hence the post.

    Thank you. I want to learn because I don’t know if I need it or will use it and unless I find out I will always have the thought in the back of my mind that I might benefit in some way. Even if I go down the learning route far enough to realise it really isn’t for me at least then I’ll know but until then I’m left wondering what I’m missing.
  21. Frank Blank
    Thanks Sir.
  22. Frank Blank
    Thanks for the wise words.

    It’s just how I’ve always played, we used to cover an old Discharge track, Protest & Survive (but we played it a lot faster than the original) and that used to occasionally result in a bleeding index finger but if it’s the way you’ve always done it you don’t know any better. Anyway, thanks for the excuse...

    I am assuming, perhaps incorrectly, that your username derives from the William Burroughs / Malcolm Mc Neill collaboration? I may well be mistaken as I am far from educated but would class myself as an enthusiastic autodidact, hence the detailed specialisms alongside many gaping voids in my education. I spent a lot of time in the corridor outside class but usually reading the books I wanted to but I actually do think I have a tendency to throw my toys out of the pram before my inabilities are revealed. Learning theory after you know the practice is very enlightening - "so THAT'S why that works"... ...is exactly what I want, along it’s some kind of discipline to practice along with which I am assuming would be scales.

    This is hugely helpful because I think I’m honing my reasoning for wanting to learn via everyone’s contributions to my post. Although I would like to hone my technique (obviously, who wouldn’t) I think it’s more wanting to understand at least the rudiments of theory and it’s applica to what I do. One of the things on here that kicked it off was a post called, something like, Do You Practice in All 30 Keys, I don’t practice (to my knowledge) in any key and more to the point I don’t know what a key is. I suppose I feel a bit foolish and I would just like to understand more. The other day we were rehearsing and I did a run at the end of a verse and the singer/guitarist said “Oh I like that, it’s a whole tone scale” at least I think that’s what she said, I just looked at her blankly. I should have asked for an explanation but I just felt a bit dumb.
