  1. I remember my daughter playing me that around the time.
  2. Not helped by the BBC always focusing on the changes or differences and not producing and updating a single, consistent guide.
  3. Papa Was a Rolling Stone - I can still only play it by counting and concentrating very hard ๐Ÿ˜ž
  4. It's well proven that repeating mistakes is bad, always take a break if this happens. Changing something about how you are playing helps too, so try the rhythm on a different melody, speed up or down, play the melody to a different rhythm or play in a different position. These halpcement the bits that stay the same. Also, sleeping on it is good, you may well come back and find it easier because the practice has had a chance to 'fix' in your longer term memory.
  5. Swapping to a different instrument, as long as it is reasonably well set up. Also, my little Orange Crush 25 which always sounds great, while my big amps need more tweaking to get a great sound out of them.
  6. That's Wolver'ampton that is, maybee Darlo. Speak like that in Dudley and they'll send you packing ๐Ÿ˜‰
  7. I suspect it's way more complex than that ๐Ÿ™‚ Does anyone here have access to a Finite Element Analysis program...
  8. You can 'parse' FRFR in different ways. Full range, flat response - it has a 'full range' (whatever that is) and a flat response. Full range flat response - the flat response is across its full range, which goes without saying for hifi speakers usually defined as response within +/- 3db across the full range. Of course the 'full range' for hifi speakers is typically defined as being between the two -3dB points, but the point is there are no unexpected peaks or troughs. Even if a speaker is 'FR,FR' it's clear that because of physics the 'range' still has to have limits, however broad it is, and there doesn't seem to be a standard to define what that is.
  9. I thought they were just texture tiles...
  10. Morrisons does tend to play a 'classic rock/pop' playlist
  11. Reminds me... we had a 6th form concert, first live band I ever saw. The played originals and they weren't sh1te! All of them in the sixth form. They even brought out a single I've still got and the web remembers them...
  12. These Zevon songs are definitely up there with 'Right Said Fred' and 'Shadduppa-you-face' in the top-100 novelty songs.
  13. Sorry to be boring but... Clearly someone putting huge thought and effort into making a 'different'' bass. But they choose a naff bridge height adjustment that can only be done in half-steps of a relatively coarse (looks like M5 or even M6) thread.
  14. Ken Russel? Eisenstien? I had no idea Magic Roundabout was so highbrow when I was a kid ๐Ÿ™‚
  15. Plus he's clearly playing from memory. A real musician would be sight reading.
  16. Hendrix played with his teeth, but that guy takes playing by ear literally!
  17. My story! First thing my singing teacher picked up and then asked which register I wanted to learn in. I can give Paul Robeson a run for his money but my falsetto is not a thing of beauty...
