    Reading Bass Clef

    in Theory and Technique

    [quote name='jakesbass' post='299338' date='Oct 4 2008, 01:30 PM']So you need to be reading ahead of what you're playing, glancing back and forth across the stave all the time.[/quote]

    This is very [b]important[/b]....For When you get in the real world. [ If thats your aim ]

    This is going OT a bit.
    But there is more than just reading the notes.
    You always need to be looking ahead.
    For Keychanges, Sometimes tempo [which might also mean looking at the conductor - MD] Time changes 4/4 -3/4 etc.
    Tricky phrases just around the corner.
    Signs and codas, repeat signs. Playing straight 8's as a swing feel. [ Lazy arranging ]
    And as always, a good pair of elephant ears.
    Reading in your bedroom is one thing - [in the heat of battle something else]
    You wanna sound like you are in the same band as the others. eg..all phrasing together.
    Oh and you will need a extra pair of boxers first time out on a reading gig - session or whatever... :)
    Appart from that...its easy. :huh:

    [quote name='bilbo230763' post='298500' date='Oct 3 2008, 12:17 PM']When I played jazz 'live' on The National Lottery Live, I was miming to a recording of myself (as played by Carol Kaye) but the images on screen bore no relationship whatsoever with what the audience was hearing. I guess its an occupational hazard with TV work.[/quote]
    :huh: :huh: :unsure:

    Just done a BBC mime over the weekend..
    When i turned up...One tune had been changed... :)
    You guessed..
    Using a Bass synth... [ Carol originally i think ] :huh:

    [/list][quote name='thepurpleblob' post='298408' date='Oct 3 2008, 10:44 AM']I'd be interested in your evidence for the assertion that Carole Kaye played on this track. That's a new one on me.[/quote]

    Oh Man....
    Come on....JOKE...! FFS...!!... :)

    of certain tracks recorded.

    [quote name='warwickhunt' post='298099' date='Oct 2 2008, 10:38 PM']I think that was the bit where you heard the rhythmical 'clacking' of valves and (thankfully) f*ck all else :huh:[/quote]
    I dont think it was his valves clacking..... :)
    And it was not rhythmical. :huh:

    [quote name='jakesbass' post='297917' date='Oct 2 2008, 07:44 PM']On hot travel days take a light cool bag and freeze packs, wrap the packs in a flannel and use the flannel to wipe your neck during the journey, extremely refreshing, also one for hot days, get the B&B owner (or hotel) to freeze bottles of water for you, cheap cool water all day.
    Get pissed, shag birds (or blokes if you like)[/quote]

    Jake.Have yo been sniffing glue? :huh:
    Getting pissed and shagging is good..

    Thanks for letting me know.
