  1. Sounds like a bad narrative from one of those late-night police chase shows on Spike. IMO this has nothing to do with gun control... It has to do with crime and punishment. Criminals can get guns. Gun control laws don't affect them. Gun control affects law abiding citizens, which doesn't apply in this story at all. Even though my job requires me to carry guns, I have never been a big gun person (a moderate one at best ..Ive always enjoyed sending lead downrange).....However, the NRA is right about one thing: "If you outlaw guns, then only outlaws will have guns" Cant argue with that in any way, shape, or form I do agree that stronger punishment is more of a deterrent than controlling guns.
  2. Something I do occasionally is try to find a real good free MIDI file (Theres a billion free MIDIs on the net) of the song and either (A) solo the bass track and learn the part by ear or (B) quantize it (if needed) and print the sheet music.... Now, granted, a MIDI file is some programmer's interpretation of the part(s) but some of these are really accurate ( Its a weeding process) and have helped me learn many parts in the past........
  3. Originally posted by SaltyDogg Just don't tell me they made out with each other. That was the "banjo part" I was referring to previously..........
  4. Originally posted by hi.flyer D# oh {censored} im a theory snob now I'm willing to bet that, in a blues jam, an E chord would be a dominant 7 chord, not a major 7 chord in which D would be correct :p ...although Deville originally said to start on the 5 which would, more than likely ( and diatonically correct) a B7, making the inital hi "A" you said a possibility .......... The funny thing is, I use this stuff as a skeleton --- I try to think froma "vocal point of view" and just sing whats in my heart and not worry about all the formulas
  5. Originally posted by Kid Vicious Are you talking about the fifth scale degree of E major? Wouldn't that be a B? Somebody was also talking about the leading tone (the seventh scale degree), which would be a D. Also, if doing a jam in E major, I know the major chord structure is I ii iii IV V vi viiDim I. However, I'm confident that I could bs my way through most jams by listening to the chord progression for about a bar. After all, it would take me a bit to figure out where the B is on the neck, so by the time I've got my first note, they're 5 bars in. Alternatively, I could use the intuition I have for what the notes are for different frets and just improvise. ROFL - I'm very confused....You gave the impression that you didn't either know it, or didn't care about knowing it when actually you have a good grasp of it. Plus, you are also saying you know how to read a 'telegraph' from other musicians for upcoming chord changes. Still, the application would prevent you from waiting "5 bars in" to find it. Cheers
  6. Originally posted by hi.flyer a high A might be nice too ooo! or the leading tone perhaps? If I was walking into it during the drummer's 4-count, it could be several notes but the "One Beat" of the first bar would be a "B" ( E, 5) to set up the turnaround's walking bassline
  7. Originally posted by Deville It's not about being a snob, Kid-V. It's about taking your art seriously. If somebody says they gonna start a blues jam in E from the 5, you need to know what they're talking about. What's your first note? I would, of course, start on B. Deville and I just communicated musically extremely fast and simple. Like I said above: just like DSL
  8. Originally posted by Kid Vicious All I said was that you don't need to learn theory to learn songs by ear. Learning theory is great, but like you said, it's not a prerequisite for good playing. I agree with this to an extent....yes, a person can go through life as an awesome "ear player". However you will be surprised how much faster your "ear" playing/learning will be if you know theory. Knowing theory: understanding chord construction, knowing the diatonic modes, understanding the cycle of IVs, the cycle of Vs, knowing how a ii-V-I operates will all aid the speed of the ear-learning process...its like the difference between dial-up and DSL....... Just $.02

I was in a band with a pig, so I know one when I see one! LOL #2) High fives come with a story, not a teaser. You posted a headline, and left us hanging. #3) You didn't piss me off..I have real life and real issues to piss me off. I come here for fun. You should, too! OK - The PG version - Two girls, who I originally thought were sisters, would come see my band play a lot back then. They were nice looking but, back then, I was nice looking (not so anymore) so I had plenty to work with. After a gig opening for Molly Hatchett, guess who was backstage? Anyway, I wound up in their Ford Escort later with a bottle of Southern Comfort and we all start talking and this is when I findout that they were Mom/Daughter. I'll censor the next part. We go to a Holiday Inn. Rest of the story censored. Thats the best I can do, bro
  10. Originally posted by Rich4Once Shut the {censored} up, then. Nobody asked you to to post in this thread to begin with. thanks for the love Look, dude, you are right: I shouldn't have posted here: I thought I would share this with da guyz and get a few high^5s and a "w00t" out of it...going into detail would not only get me banned but it would also get me labeled "pig" by the female forum members who happen read this thread. Ha....Sorry, dude, but pissing you off seems to be the least expense....
  11. Originally posted by vanlatte Dear Penthouse, I never thought this would happen to me... Originally posted by Cokeman I'm thinking there is no story. ha...I could care less what you guys believe........ ...besides, Are you guys just sittin in front of your computer with meat in hand waitin for me to elaborate'?
  12. Originally posted by Rich4Once You do know that you have to tell the rest now, don't you? Originally posted by SaltyDogg Waiting for the longer version..........................???? Ha. Nope...I'll say this much: it was quite wonderful, different, and a definite experience but I always had this distant feeling there was a banjo playing in the background somewhere.......
  13. About 1990, I had a threesome with a very hot Mom (late 30s) and her even hotter daughter (late teens)
  14. I thought for sure the first answer from one of you would be: "My left hand"
  15. There is a "Best Keyboard Player" thread at the bass forum...I figured I would start a pick the "Best Bass Player" thread here. The one over there is a poll but there are so many write-ins I thought I'd leave this open
