If you can't I ought to let the guy who agreed to bring the fender combo know not to bother. Do you want me to get there a bit earlier to help you set up?

Linus27 Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Can anyone just turn up and have a browse and say hi as it would be good to pop in if I can get away from other stuff. Also, is anyone bringing a Stingray fretless 4 string I could try? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urb Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Hey all - Nick in particular - I know it's not the same but I can bring my loop pedal which comes with some fairly OK drum patterns programmed in - and or a laptop that can provide beats etc - then at least some folks can have a jam - might be organised chaos mind Re the Q&A I'd be happy to take part in something - I know a fair bit about music theory etc (I'm not such a god-like-genius as Jake but hey I play a bit of jazz!) and I could talk about writing - though I'll state unequivocally that I'm not a spokesman for BGM - but obviously it could be interesting to have a chat about the music media etc - dunno if that sounds like a goer?

Cheers Mike[/quote] Hi Mike Thanks for chipping in to help out - much appreciated! Regarding the loop pedal, that would be great because one of the nice things about having the Jam Room last year, was the chance to try out a bass and play it away from the main room and to be able to 'play it' as if you were rehearsing or gigging with it..Don't know about anyone else, but hearing a bass withoit any other instruments only tells you one part of the story; having a chance to hear it again a drum beat makes a big difference! So - yes please to the loop pedal.. As for the Q&A, again, that would be just perfect..It provides a chance for a bit of music theory and also, something on the music media would be very interesting too.. Adrian from BGM did a bit on that at the 2008 Bash and it was really good.. So I will update the Workshops thread to include you if that's OK.. What time can you be there to do that btw?

silverfoxnik Posted November 24, 2010 Author Share Posted November 24, 2010 [b]Workshops[/b] 1. Compression/Compressors - 51m0n 2. Bass tones/using your amp/e.q. advice - alexclaber 3. 'Set up' masterclass - johnnylager 4. Music Theory / Music Media - urb Mike's offerd to do his session at 12pm, so with that in mind, Alex, John & 51m0n - do you want to let me know what time(s) are good for you? I'd suggest we go something like 45 minute sessions, times as follows: Workshop 1: 12pm - urb Workshop 2: 1pm - ? Workshop 3: 2pm - ? Workshop 4: 3pm - ? Unless anyone fancies doing an 11am slot? And then we could run charic's idea for a session - sort of like a 'knowledge exchange' through out the day, in and around the workshops..

51m0n Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 I'll do either an 11 or 1 depending on numbers at the time (ie if everyone is there at 11 I have no issue doing it then) I'm easy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Born 2B Mild Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 What time does it wrap up please? Only I have to make an arrangement to meet someone nearby as soon as it finishes. Thanks, Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnylager Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 I'll be there by 9.30 Nik, can do any slot you like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverfoxnik Posted November 25, 2010 Author Share Posted November 25, 2010 Thanks guys! How about you do the 11am slot John and maybe another session later as people arrive through the day - we could set up a seperate space for you as the Foyer is so large.. And 51m0n, what about you doing the 1pm slot? So it'd look like this: Workshop 1: 11 am - johnnylager - setups Workshop 2: 12 pm - urb - music theory & music media Workshop 3: 1pm - 51m0n - compression & compressors Workshop 4: 2pm - alexclaber - bass tones/using your amp/e.q. advice Phil - we're booked until 6pm I think but because it'll be dark by then and the weather might be bad, it would be best to wrap up at 5pm I think..
