How has your day been as a bassist?
lowdown replied to charliethornton's topic in General Discussion
No Bass today what so ever, But working out/transcribing some nice vocal chord voicing's with my son. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fBKi4pcvEGY&feature=share"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fBKi4pcvEGY&feature=share[/url] Garry -
[quote name='funkypenguin' timestamp='1348779693' post='1818234'] My transcription of XYZ is up in theory and technique somewhere if anyone is interested in having a crack at it [/quote] Yep, i grabbed that a while back - and a very fine transcription it is, of a very fine tune. Garry

Good stuff dude! Nice playing all round. Garry

[quote name='Chris2112' timestamp='1348696818' post='1817206'] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jb8k53ZzJbc[/media] [/quote] Great Album all round [agree about the Synth sounds and being better] I remember buying it for about £20.00 or so around the mid 90's, now you can download from iTunes for about $10.00 Garry

[quote name='charic' timestamp='1348658093' post='1816479'] Hmm, can't see that here [/quote] Ok - Now have my glasses on. He has been given his P45 then. Have some time so will have a good listen and cast my vote. Garry

[quote name='charic' timestamp='1348656851' post='1816462'] I meant good luck with voting for RedStriper [/quote] Lol....I see what you mean. There is a tacet/bar for nothing where his name and link should have been. Garry

[quote name='charic' timestamp='1348656310' post='1816452'] Good luck with that Garry [/quote] Thanks for that - Cue sheets to be detailed in October, so will know more then about broadcast times etc. Still laughing about Redstriper and his story, very funny and has made my day. Garry

[quote name='redstriper' timestamp='1348600537' post='1815874'] Sorry, sorry, sorry... I've done a bad thing - first of all I'm Tacsi and secondly, I cheated My band is called Tacsi and I linked to a song we wrote last year, it wasn't written this month. I didn't read the OP properly, (I was very drunk at the time) and the picture made me think of this song so I made the link and promptly forgot all about it - until now. Anyway thanks to whoever voted for the song, but you should transfer your vote and I should be scorned as unworthy . [/quote] It's amazing what people will do for their 15 minutes.............. Funny story, I might vote for you because you gave me a giggle. Garry

The Other Notes....? Moving away from Root and 5th
lowdown replied to WillEdwards's topic in General Discussion
[quote name='hollywoodrox' timestamp='1348517561' post='1814744'] minor 5th for diminished metal type sounds [/quote] Is that a rusty 5th? Ears and taste [along with theory,or some] is the name of the game. Practise singing along with Basslines, or any instrument lines for that matter, and start to take in intervals and chord sounds. Melodic or lyrical Instinct will eventually kick in telling you what's musical and what's just your fingers speaking in the name of showing off. Garry -
Leonard Bernstein - Inside Pop - The Rock Revolution
lowdown replied to EssentialTension's topic in General Discussion
Yep, that's a great watch and very interesting to listen to. Maestro Bernstein looks like something out of a Mafioso film. Garry -
[quote name='SteveK' timestamp='1348427413' post='1813527'] Fixed. [/quote] Ha Ha, very good. To the OP, I am not sure it is just an age thang. - The Music business is full of twonks who talk a lot and deliver very little, the longer you are in it, the more you just laugh it off. Garry

[quote name='Skol303' timestamp='1348269403' post='1811857'] [url="http://soundcloud.com/skollob/nightingale-basschat"]http://soundcloud.co...ingale-basschat[/url] [/quote] I quite like that Skol. The only thing for me is the duck call or bird sound jiving out all the way through. I found i was kinda of listening to that mostly, i think the point was made in the first 16 bars or so, but that's me just being me. Bass break in the middle breaks it up nicely. Good stuff. Just been listening to the tracks, some really good ideas floating around peeps. Garry

Always been a Jeff Lorber Fan since day one, His latest album is pretty cool - some superb playing from Mr Haslip. First Fusion album i have bought for ages.

[quote name='Fat Rich' timestamp='1348244439' post='1811384'] It might not work for everybody, best way to find out is to try it. Record yourself playing some phrase normally, then yell the phrase to yourself, give it some beans and play it again. It'll probably sound different, maybe more dynamics will come through. Easy to find out. [/quote] I agree. I had a nice quite [Imagined] tune in my head that translated nicely to the fingers, I then shouted the tune loudly and found i was slapping and popping it very loudly. Perhaps i took [the very good] video the wrong way. Garry

Lovely Jazz Bass tone. Da girl plays great. I know it's all been done before, but it is still done well.

[quote name='chris_b' timestamp='1347809506' post='1805268'] I think the bass on the Serge Gainsborough records was Russ Stableford, certainly on Je T'aime.

Yep, great band. Good lyrics, good Musicianship and an all round ear for melodic phrases. I hear echo's of Brand X in there [style wise] Garry

Great version of 'On Green Dolphin St' [Gonzalo Rubalcaba] playing at this moment ....... but of course in 5 minutes times it won't be playing. Great station. Garry

[quote name='Bilbo' timestamp='1347116794' post='1797147'] I did one! I was thinking ambient and ended up with this recording of 19 basses (18 playing the same note) and voices. The production is a bit 'low-brow' but I was not inclinded to spend too long on it because it is crap! It reminds me a bit of Bo Hannson! The working to an image thing was a new thing for me and an interesting challege. Great fun. [url="http://soundcloud.com/robert-palmer-1/the-dead-marshes"]http://soundcloud.co...he-dead-marshes[/url] I am not expecting a Grammy [/quote] Great approach going on ! It's interesting how some of us see that photo from a black point of view - apart from the Carp fisher of course [Sorry Silddx]............ Garry
