[quote name='Japhet' timestamp='1482394780' post='3200098'] I have a family connection to Chas and have known the pair of them for years, but not so much lately. Dave is about the nicest bloke you could ever meet and Chas was primarily a bass player (and a bloody good one at that). Chas was in a band called The Outlaws with Ritchie Blackmore of all people and was also n Head ands and Feet. They are both superb musicians and used to come round my house on Burns Night for a jam and a sing song many years ago. [/quote] They are great guys. I did a summer season with them a few years back (I was in the main turn band) and got to know them well at the time. Blimey, they could put the booze away. Had a few drunken nights with them. I got to play the P Bass a few times as well, along with learning the vocal technique for "Rabbit"..

Yer, Blue. Rebecca is great. Her and the Drummer work really well together. They are an Aussie band and are all excellent players. Sings well, also. http://youtu.be/L9sSwKctImw She also has a very a tight, grooving slap technique. http://youtu.be/Vcz8olQWjis

Got this a couple of Days ago.Great Cuban style Jazz, with the emphasis more on swing. Absolute terrific playing and arrangements.

Geeking and Nerding of FX has never been high on my list. But, this history of the Tremolo, is really interesting. [url="http://www.premierguitar.com/articles/19777-a-brief-history-of-tremolo"]http://www.premiergu...tory-of-tremolo[/url]

Good stuff and well played. Love the reference to Spaghetti Western Music, especially at the beginning.

Of course there are other 'Tremoloes', that became 'Tremeloes' because of a spelling mistake by a News Paper. Some people also considered them, as Tremolo knobs on the front end of Fender Amps.

Tremolo is also rapid playing on a note or notes. String players often use the technique/articulation (Bow going up and down very quickly). Harps/Classical Guitars, Bass etc, it is rapid plucking with the finger(s). The two posters above are right about the misnaming.

Excellent, Sibob. Nice stuff. The Band play well and a very nice singer.

The Gaslight Anthem's,'Miles Davies and the Cool'. Marc Cohen. 'Walking in Memphis'. Although it's about being baptized into the world of the blues, the second verse is about Elvis. Charlie Mingus, 'Goodbye Pork Pie Hat'. About 'Lester Young'. Joni Mitchell later added lyrics to it.

The first 30 seconds, when the audience is in view - Visually, they look like they are clapping on 2&4. Sound wise, I can't hear any clapping. To me there seems to be a sound delay when the audience is singing, possibly, because of the distance they are from the recording mic. It seems to be right next to the Bass and Drums. I am not sure why I am droning on, I couldn't careless what the audience (or AC/DC for that matter) are singing or clapping along to. Just responding to a post (PaulGibsonBass). I think he is great. (Although there are better versions of that tune, with him playing, that are knocking around). Carry on.

[quote name='PaulGibsonBass' timestamp='1482017163' post='3197061'] I don't really get some of the other comments about there being no solid beat though... [/quote] Yes... The Kit player is banging out the Snare (loudly) on 2&4. The audience are all clapping and flapping on 2&4. How solid and easier can it get...

[quote name='Paul S' timestamp='1482051132' post='3197131'] There's your problem, Dunc. Try sleeping on the bed with everyone, not the settee. Should be more comfortable. [/quote] Beat me to it.

Oscar, Ray and Niels....All soloing (with ease). Serious musicianship from them all. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0HEtFO9w3Ds For me, there has been so many top performances from the big guns over the years, it's hard to pick out one. This performance from Anthony Jackson still blows me away. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZOCdrwGch4

Haha.... Very cool.

My favourite album by far. (Ennio) Morricone 60.

Excuses, excuses and nothing but excuses. Teach them to sight read as well. All sit down and learn together. Make it a family thing. I dunno....families ain't what they used to be.

This is why EMG's and Bart's were invented. To cater for Musicians who suffer with OCD.

If you like studying 'Scores' from the great Composers, there is a great free resource site called 'IMSLP'. (downloadable PDF's).

[quote name='Geek99' timestamp='1481533050' post='3192902'] Reading rhythm isn't hard and I don't see why there should be a binary choice [/quote] If you are reading Rhythms and finding it isn't hard, why not also read the black dots attached ? Just curious really.

[quote name='bazztard' timestamp='1481515032' post='3192821'] I laugh when people claim reading notation is quicker than reading TABs baloney, and here's why reading notation: your brain sees the lil black dot, converts it to a note name, say B. THEN has to convert the note name B to a spot on your fretboard TAB: you brain sees immediately that it's the 2nd fret on the 2nd string, you play it. now tell me again how notation is faster [/quote] Take your little theory to all the great Professional Orchestras of the World. I am sure you are onto something.
