ThomBassmonkey Posted March 30, 2011 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

ZMech Posted March 30, 2011 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
lowdown Posted March 30, 2011 Author 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

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. Quote
Count Bassy Posted March 30, 2011 Posted March 30, 2011 [quote name='lowdown' post='1182509' date='Mar 30 2011, 05:49 PM']You are correct - Hardly the end of the world.

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
risingson Posted March 30, 2011 Posted March 30, 2011 They should find where Expert Village is and blow it the hell up. They are completely useless and best and at worst actually damaging for those trying to learn stuff from them. Quote

xgsjx Posted March 30, 2011 Posted March 30, 2011 I like this one: He looks wasted algmusic posted this (&the Hip Hop drumming one) in the amps & cabs section about a month ago, so thanks to him for this one. Quote
