Huw Foster Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 You guys are too kind, really! Bubinga, if I remember correctly you said I had 'groove with flair'? I might have to use that as an official testimonial one day, haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubinga5 Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 (edited) H are you Marlow DK's brother? seriously .. yeah i meant it... use it man.. out of interest how long you been playing H? oh and by the way, i have stolen some licks from thee....

Huw Foster Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 Ha! I didn't know I had any licks to steal. Go ahead, take them! Apart from vague physical similarities (glasses, facial hair, receding hairline? Possible Scandinavian lineage!??!), I'm flattered to be even mentioned in the same breath as Marlowe. The man is a legend of YouTube, whose work I cannot fault. By comparison my playing is sloppy and I butcher my way through the odd cover. I got my first bass 10 years ago as of tomorrow (was in New York for Christmas, it was a very basic Ibanez from Manny's). It was nearly as big as me at the time, and somewhere there exists a cringeworthy picture of me with said bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lojo Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 I understand the feeling is in the fingers part, but there is something about the way you record it, as I said it the tone is great through my mac speakers, and that cant be said for all clips, regardless of the talent in the fingers for the guy (or girl) playing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben604 Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 (edited) Hello! A friend took some video of us at our last gig in O'neils - Liverpool on Sunday, so I thought I'd stick them up here... Bear in mind, this is probably my 6th gig ever and I'm still pretty nervous, I was just trying to keep it solid, no flair whatsoever! Anyone else find it weird seeing yourself on video? I've noticed that I have this horrible smirk on my face most of the time, stand like a right weirdo and make silly facial gestures to people I know in the crowd?! I must smile more!
