I'm listening through my old stuff and I'm actually changing my opinion on it, some of it is actually pretty good! I mean solos and all that are probably not even in the right key, but some of it is actually passable. =)
Edited:
Most importantly though, is that while it might not be something I'd pay money for it is still something I've created, and my friends contributions (drums and bass) are really solid and I'm honoured to have them as my friends and most importantly, as band-mates.
Now, I just need to learn how to sing or find someone who can and we can start making some really cool music.
In fact, I think I've found my old spark again, been coming up with some cool (albeit basic) riffs and I'm going to practice a lot more again.
-
I listened to a few of my old bass tracks that I played over existing songs from a few years ago.
I used to be a lot better before the carpal tunnel got bad
Edited:
I seriously used to be able to play just about anything. Wooten, Claypool, Pastorius all came with ease.
Never was able to nail Chris Squire though, don't know what's up with that.
Edited:
I can still play Dusty Hill though so I got that going for me.
-
Well shit. I can play a little of Claypool's stuff, never even bothered to try Wooten or Pastorious. How long had you been playing before you got carpal tunnel?
-
about 8 years, that was a few years ago
-
Boredom kills, especially when you have FL Studio.
-
Some guy in my composition class is essentially writing dubstep for bassoon quartet.
He played back the score in MIDI and it sounds like it will probably be awesome.
-
You HAVE to share it with us when it's done, I want to hear it!
-
A friend of mine showed me this, some day I hope to be able to play like that.
-
pretty generic "virtuoso" playing
I don't get why people feel the need to play percussion on their acoustic guitars, it sounds like ass to me
-
i died a little inside when he scraped the guitar
:'(
-
I really like that he does some vocals on top of his playing, the instrumental wankery in the beginning I didn't like but I can appreciate the musicianmanship of it. He's got a good voice to accompany the lightly distorted acoustic. =)

Djing my first "show" on saturday with a good buddy of mine. Private birthday party at a pretty popular night club in town. We'll be in charge of music all night.
-
Splicing weird samples into songs puts a grin on my face.
-
Would you guys pay for someone (see ; me) to master your tracks?
If you were to pay, how much do you reckon you'd pay?

the intro had me cringing tbqh
but the rest of the song is p solid, that tuning thing he does sounds perfect
-
sounds a little sharp towards the end to me
-
You are good at this whole mixing and mastering business yeah, but there is some really proper mastering available online for 20 bucks anyway.
I wouldn't start selling my services just yet if I was you.
-
There was a fairly well known (Proper Label releases) mastering engineer in SoundOnSound a month or two back and he does a deal where he will master unisgned artists for as little as $500.
-
$20? That must be per hour or something, if it's proper mastering.
-
It's obviously not the things you'd send a major label release to, but there is still really good stuff for really cheap.
You'd have some damn fierce competition.
Do you have studio monitors and stuff?
-
I got a pair of these :
Yamaha HS80M
I got them as payment for helping a buddy out, or well I helped a buddy out and he just felt that I deserved them
Brand new and all, pretty damn cash too!
-
Ah, so that's why your mixes got so much better randomly lmao.
-
I'm not sure I understand what you mean!
-
Any bassists here that could give me some tips for finger strumming at 240 bpm using the index and middle fingers other than practice makes perfect?
-
if you can learn to strum on the way back up then that can give you a good speed advantage. I do that with all 4 fingers on my right hand if for some reason I need to play really fast

Hey, I've just started a funk/rock band and played together for the first time two days ago. It went pretty well, despite the fact that my throat hurt and two of the strings on our bassist's 5-string bass broke. We're all (Me excluded) pretty experienced musically, everybody has played about 7-8 years on their respective instruments, so even though there was only one track that everybody had practiced (This one), we played a couple of other tracks without much hassle. Now the problem is really that I'm pretty much the one coordinating the shit, and trying my best to get everything to fit together; lots of info on the group page, calling people and asking about status on whatever, but I figured I might as well ask someone here what their experience with this sort of thing consists of; what worked, what didn't so on. Our problem right now is that we live abbout half an hour from each other, but the place we practice lies 2 hours from where some of the guys live.

In one of the bands I play in 2 of the members are 45 Minutes north of me and one of them is 30 minutes south of me (And therefore 75 minutes away from the other two). Best thing is to make sure you are all on the same page as far as schedules go.
Do you all have smart phones? - Get a shared google calendar up and running and get everyone to put their commitments on it, you then know when you can gig, when you can rehearse and then nobody will be letting the band down when it comes to it.
A simple calendar was the best thing we did.
-
Only one of us has a smartphone, and that's an iPhone. My problem is that while I know somewhat when people can and can't rehearse, we have some date conflicts. A problem is communication, though, and because people aren't always easy to catch on the fly, we sometimes miss some days where people was actually able to. I've tried to centralize communication through Facebook, and while I'm pretty sure that people read the page, they don't always respond and that makes my shit harder. The will to play soem music is there, but people have too much on their minds, and aren't too fond of changing their agenda. We almost have a day where we can rehearse, but neither of the two guitarists in the band can that day. I've considered asking a guy from my class if he can that day, but then we got.. well, three guitarists, and that's a mess.
-
I was in a band where the guitar player was in tennessee, the drummer was in texas, and the singer was in florida. now that was a tough band to play in
we never officially broke up or anything, the distance was just too tough on us. we only did shows once every few months anyway
-
Never thought about doing that. I'll defendly try that out! Thanks!

Welp, first time posting here in this thread.
I made All-Region orchestra back in August, and today after cramming 12 hours of practicing with the full orchestra (tippy-top bitches), we played "Jupiter" by Holst and "Danzon No 2" by Arturo Márquez.
I believe everyone has heard Jupiter before, but I'll post the youtube videos for them (not us playing, we don't get our CD copy until December).
Jupiter
Danzon No 2
It was my first attempt into making region, and I made the top orchestra - chair 15 out of 16 violin 2. I just barely made it in, but the music below us was complete crap, so I'm gonna try as hard as I can next year to make it.
Edited:
I also got a plaque with my name on it, a shirt, the CD, and a patch.

Brahms Requiem with the Philadelphia Orchestra. I'm in the choir.
Not a bad 1,337th post.

So I got a banjo from a friend a month or so back and I've been learning to play it:
The bandanas are my strap :P
-
Hehe, My dad's a bluegrass banjo player (Earl scruggs style)
-
I want to find other musician communities like this.
-
tdpri gets pretty close sometimes
-
I find Fl Studio's look very dull and boring, sometimes it makes me lose inspiration and will to move on.
