As much as I love the Crue, there are quite a few to choose from. But in terms of the thread title, the Crue being 'inspired' by Big Trouble in Little China, and as for the 'fight' scene 🤣

That's all well and good, but is it really anything roll of gaffa tape couldn't sort? 😉

My band had a club gig come in earlier this month for September. Not sure if the rules for private member's clubs are different, but when we play it's indoor, and an all tickets do to manage numbers.

Google 'Basso continuo', it'll blow your mind

Does Beethoven's boogie woogie sound contrived? (Piano Sonata No. 32, 2nd movement, or just Google 'Beethoven boogie woogie')

Disagree entirely, because I have! A few years ago, I'd brought a song to the metal band I was playing in. We were going through it, and they said what happens next. Jokingly I said 'bass solo'. No-one said 'No!', so I thought stinky poo, I've got to do a bass solo! Around 90% of it was made up on the spot based on theory. I knew the chord sequence so bend up to root note - lazy rock player trick Come down the natural minor tap some triads, adding some diatonic passing notes end on the root note. Had I been playing just by ear, I would have had to take a minute to work some things out, as opposed to just been able to do it on the spot.

There is an unintentionally hilarious video of me with The Junkyard Dogs, spectacularly failing to play the ever so simple lead guitar line on Come Together... 😖

Look at it this way. if you know 3 chords, you can only use 3 chords. If you know 4 chords, you can use 4 chords, but nothing is stopping you using only 3 of them...

Today's gig 😁

not if you have the extra frets like wot my basses do. The relationships remain the same:

You mean one of these:

what are 'the rules', and why the assumption that someone who knows musical theory can't also 'break' them?

I used Bax last year. Got a great deal on an end of line/last one guitar case for a Les Paul. No problems at all. Sad how things change.

Or a baseball cap and some exotic felines...

In that case I'm in!

There is absolutely no point AT ALL in getting a double shouldered strap, that does not let you do this:

2 x 12 user here, but my speakers are wrapped, so the cab has a lower footprint.

many years ago when I played classical guitar, I used clear nail varnish, and always had an emery board.

It's a good job I think most Wal's are fugly, so I'm not affected 😝

Got an outdoor gig - beer garden - next weekend, and a club gig in September. Apparently the club will be issuing tickets to monitor numbers.

@Kev we're doing this one for free. The venue is one of our regular gigs, so we are happy to help them out.
