Paul Cooke Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 cute, but not cute enough... needs bar lines and notes drawn with correct duration to match a selected rhythm... and a greater choice of rhythms... I'm currently printing it off, and drawing in bar lines myself setting things to just quarter notes... ie 4:4 cos that's what they are...

Choose any rhythm you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluesparky Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 I'm quite partial to a bit of extreme every now and then! "Cupid's dead" from III sides to every story is a great track, the middle riff / solo is good fun to play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassjamm Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Nice one mate...i'm making a bit more of an effort with my reading. I've just joined 'The Bass Vault' and there's a facility on there to test your reading, but also you fingerboard knowledge of the notes (also has ear training...wicked stuff). Again, not really any rhythms, but at the moment i'm happy about that. One things for sure, my ability to read notes isn't as bad as i thought it was, so i now know i need to work on my rhythm reading! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
