  1. I'm about 2000 practice hours from achieving the double thumb meself ๐Ÿ‘ but we do realise there's a lot of hate out there for this noble technique? ๐Ÿ˜Œ
  2. As above! If the only thing holding you back from the big bucks is live lead vocs -- maybe singing lessons would be worth the investment? ๐Ÿ‘
  3. Aye, I wouldn't want to inflate Dave's ego by letting him know you're all that bothered about him and his stupid band...
  4. It doesn't matter what you say, you will be getting at least one drive pedal. You can say you were pressured into it if you like. Like having your ear pierced.
  5. Bad News? Weren't they the Spinal-tappy band from The Comic Strip Presents? With Rick Mayall etc... Yes they was: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bad_News_(band)
  6. You sure about that? With hi-fi I thought it was 50% of your budget on the source, not the speakers.
  7. Oh, lovely! ๐Ÿ˜ Have a great NBD! ๐Ÿ‘
  8. Still, personally I'd pay quite a bit for Larry Graham's thumb! ๐Ÿ‘
  9. Funk is repetitive!?? Funk is repetitive ... ?? Repetitive? I don't think it's repetitive. OK, maybe it's 'fabulously repetitive'! ๐Ÿ˜€

  11. Aye, she plays a lot better than me, and with less fuss! ๐Ÿ˜— Here's a bit of Freddie Washington himself doing it:
  12. Good, but I found this tutorial better (and more humbling):
  13. I reckon Hendrix is (was) my #1 guitar player who was equally amazing on the bass, for his lines on his cover of 'watchtower'... plenty of notes in there, and all of them good IMHO. ๐Ÿ˜€
  14. Found this on YT. Ideal for Sunday afternoon viewing:
  15. Me too, thanks Frank. I'm learning this one at the moment ๐Ÿ‘
  16. I fail to see any reason to pay more than 20 quid for that sh*t. ๐Ÿคฃ
  17. Or some powered PC speakers. ๐Ÿ‘ They do have long feet... ๐Ÿคจ
