ThomBassmonkey Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Check out the rest of the expert village videos, I think they're serious. I think it's one of those kind of things where it's more important to have everything covered than actually have good advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZMech Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 I can't work out if this is meant to be one massive parody of youtube lessons, he seems so serious, yet so rubbish. Anyway, I switch between thinking in terms of frets and notes on my double bass, depends what i'm playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowdown Posted March 30, 2011 Author Share Posted March 30, 2011 (edited) [quote name='Count Bassy' post='1182349' date='Mar 30 2011, 03:27 PM']So he uses the word ftrets when he means positions or something - hardly the end of the world. Hands up who has never referred to a fret position when playing a fretless bass. Personally I get annoyed with people on here who talk about a maple/rosewood/ebony neck, when they actually mean the fretboard or fingerboard, but I don't ridicule them for it. However to say that the first position is halfway between the second 'Fret' and the open string is wrong.[/quote] You are correct - Hardly the end of the world. However - after reading all that it feels like it. Sorry Clive - no offence intended. Garry Edited March 30, 2011 by lowdown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have two young boys trying to get to sleep, but they can't because I'm in the room next door trying desparately to stiffle my giggling from developing into full blown belly-laughter. I swear a little bit of pee came out! [quote name='Hector' post='1182435' date='Mar 30 2011, 04:42 PM'] Special[/quote] So this is where I've been going wrong, to play 5/4 correctly you have to play a few bars of 4/4, each time counting a random selection of numbers between 1 and 5, realise that's what you've done, stop playing for a bit, then start again on the count of a randomly placed number 1....! Simple really It's actually a little bit sad that either someone's put them upto this all the while knowing they're going to be laughed at, or hasn't spoken to them and advised them against it.

I hadn't even looked at the whole clip when I wrote that (my download speed is abysmal) and it seems he is not a good example of how to do anything. I just thought it was a bit harsh to have a go at his use of words. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
risingson Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 They should find where Expert Village is and blow it the hell up.
