If you phone is always ringing, and you are getting booked on a regular basis, You must be doing something right. There is always a lot of 'experts' that talk good, but sh*te at delivering, and that's in any business not just Music. Garry

Also it's good to transcribe other instruments other than just Bass, This is of course good for the pitching/ears, but also gaining a good/better understanding of [Theory] harmony , Rhythm and chord structure. Go with what you think you will gain more from. Garry

I think it's a great idea and the tapping works for me - of course it all needs tidying up. Violin intonation has gone AWOL though. Good stuff. Garry

[quote name='4 Strings' timestamp='1337323945' post='1657968'] Pain to get sheets though. [/quote] Pain if you get the sh*tes as well. Garry

[quote name='TheGreek' timestamp='1337332210' post='1658158'] She was responsible for some great tracks during my teens/early 20s...here's just one example..

Along with her 70's stuff, i just loved her duet with Barbra Streisand on Enough is Enough [No more tears] Fantastic arranging and Musicianship all round.

Well yes, Just Bass & Conga's would leave you limited. Garry

[quote name='Spoombung' timestamp='1337250387' post='1657717'] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I never liked the original tune and it's chord sequence anyway [/font][/color][/quote] Do you mean the Miles version ? If so , Donna Lee is based on the changes of Home again in Indiana, or back home in Indiana [or similar title] Miles just put his melody to it - the rest is Parker [Jaco] history. Garry

Terrific stuff. Mr Thomas swinging like the clappers there. Nigel Hitchock must have been chomping at the bit for a solo... Great post Garry

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1337099146' post='1655456'] I wish I could run away and join the circus! Good luck! [/quote] I was working with a Keyboard player who at that time had been working on 'Les Mis' for over ten years. When i asked him how it was going ? He said " I am a bit fed up with it now - I think i am going to run away and join a factory" Garry

[quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1336832514' post='1651700'] Wrong thread, though. Should be in the PhotoShop contest... [/quote] Yep, as was pointed out on various Facebook postings a few weeks ago. I am amazed it took so long to arrive on Basschat. Garry

[quote name='urb' timestamp='1336741373' post='1650279'] Tom's playing isn't to everyones tastes but he IS a remarkable all round musician and I don't know of anyone who's as good at playing bass/guitar/drums/keyboards and doing all the programming stuff as well - he's kind of in a class of his own when it comes to drum programming (aside from Venitian Snares/Aphex Twin etc) - but inevitably his playing will divide listeners - I love the two clips below for different reasons. I love the tone he gets on his MM bass - the creative way he uses reverb and multiple MIDI-triggered effects and loops is pretty inspiring too from my POV - obviously some of you will hate it - so be it. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XT5utblqvUY[/media] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QZi5Y7KgzsQ[/media] [/quote] Just had a listen - some interesting 'Out of the Box' stuff going on there. Thanks for the post. Garry

[quote name='Clarky' timestamp='1336729907' post='1650022'] by Renaud Garcia Fons [/quote] Yep, he is a terrific player. Never seen him mentioned on Basschat, until now. Heard him on a gig in Paris a while back - he was outstanding. Good post. Garry

[quote name='LawrenceH' timestamp='1336687118' post='1649669'] good tight groove that happens to involve quite fast playing. [/quote] Indeed, and i did say.. "[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I like that high action slap sound he gets, nice, tight and articulated."[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Garry[/font][/color]

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1336683972' post='1649602'] He may be a great bassist, but the track in the OP is the most boring and uninspired thing I've heard him do. Not a patch on the brilliant Iambic 9 Poetry posted above ^ [/quote] I agree with that. But then again the OP video is just a Jam. Garry

[quote name='Cairobill' timestamp='1336681820' post='1649571'] The superb harmonic. Awed tune is 'iambic 5 poetry' off Ultravisitor. Very good stuff. He knows a tune. [/quote][quote name='Cairobill' timestamp='1336681842' post='1649572'] The superb harmonic. Awed tune is 'iambic 5 poetry' off Ultravisitor. Very good stuff. He knows a tune. [/quote] Very good - Pan your first post hard left, and pan the second post hard right with some delay. Would make a lovely stereo spread. I like that high action slap sound he gets, nice, tight and articulated. Garry

Here you go,Terence Higgins. Enjoy. [url="http://www.presonus.com/community/presonuslive/"]http://www.presonus.com/community/presonuslive/[/url] Garry
