I think it's more of a make-believe CD, probably be put on a website or something.

Yea I've been wondering about that too. :)

they are unpredictable. :eek:.

[QUOTE=JoeDaddio]Yeah, he was the most expensive around everyone else was charging like $30, but they all sounded like stoners trying to make a few extra bucks. I got some emails back (after I typed out like a 4 paragraph letter explaning what I wanted in a bass instructor) that looked like:

"well, i don't know any theory or anything. but i can show you how to play your bass. i charge 30 an hour"


or

"I took a lesson once on jazz improv before, so I'm sure that I could teach it to you."



I was like, "Eh, no thanks. I'll go with the guy who actually makes a living off playing his bass, and actually took the time to write to me and send me a resume."


Besides, LR, I think that the weekly plane rides from So. Cal. might be a little too much for me. But I'm sure if you were out here you could jack up your prices and still have kids lining up around the corner to take a lesson. :)

Wow.. sounds like you have some crappy *** teachers over there. "I took a lesson on improv once, I can teach you that" :rolleyes: I've taken years of improv lessons... wtf is this guy thinking?!

You know it's weird. I live in Philly... and philly is a big music scene. But where do I teach? In New Jersey. There is absolutely no where to teach in philadelphia. There are a few mom and pop stores that offer lessons... they have like.. 1 teacher. Big music stores like Sam ash and guitar center, are not in city limits and they don't do lessons either. I feel bad for the young musicians in philadelphia... the only way they get lessons is if they go through their school... and then hope that maybe their school teacher knows a private teacher they can study with (which was the case for me. My string teacher couldn't keep up with me... she was a violist, I was a double bassist... she'd sit there and write in all the fingerings for all the pieces we were playing... and then I'd grab my music, grab her white out and white out all the marks she mad. Pissed her off big time... then she realized, I was doing it because I didn't need her assistance in playing music... I knew how to read bass clef, knew what bow to use... and when she finally realized this, she hooked me up with the Principle Bassist of Delaware symphony.)

There are some high society places here that do lessons... Like Settlement music school, which I went to for a few months before deciding it would be better, and cheaper, for me to take lessons with my teacher at his house.

And even then... there is no resource for guitar! School teachers aren't taught guitar... so guitar is not taught in school... the odd chance there was a guitarist in the school band was when someone came in self taught!

Alot of people at my work don't realize this... I have no formal training on guitar. I was started off by my parents when I was 6 or 7... learned some chords... everything else.. was on my own accord. After playing bass for a year or two.. I was able to apply what I knew to the guitar and then take myself further.

And here I am one of the top paid teachers at my work. :S

Yes, I have more guitar students than bass students.. that is just the nature of the instrument though. Bass is catching on though... this past year, I had about 8 bass students... doesn't seem like much, but previous years... the most I would have would be 2 or 3 at any given time.

So on top of there not being a cirriculum for guitar in our schools, there isn't one for bass either... Double bass.. yes...rare. but yes. Bass guitar? No.

In philadelphia... you'd think differently!

*sigh*

And because I am a girl, I will not teach privately in Philadelphia. There is just too much of a risk for me going to someone's house to teach...

Maybe when I am older.. and am quite settled in my career... I will start some sort of school in philadelphia.

Or.. perhaps I can convince my work to open a fourth location in philadelphia. I actually should do that. We are opening a third location soon... meh.. I'm going to have to talk to them. I mean.. we are a chain now... might as well stretch the boarders.

[QUOTE=madthumbs]... i try :upset:[/QUOTE]

Well then I hope you can fit into a size 10 boot! ;) :lol:

*hug* You have been doing a great job sweetie... (K)

LR

[QUOTE=SporKsBaSSisT]Yeah, that was back in the day where everyone was close-knit enough to do that, and we all knew it was okay.[/QUOTE]

:lol: Yea, that was back in the day where there was like a bass possie.. I miss those days. I wish that we could get some old vets back... mox, redact, pumo, lowend, ..... we were evil back then.. lol. but the whole bass forum was a huge family. It was great.

LR

[QUOTE=cods]i wasn't sure. :(.

you know how MILFS are.[/QUOTE]


:lol: I don't think I was mad, I think I was surprised.

[QUOTE=the1andonly]Hey ive never played the guitar before how the hell do u reade these tabs what does it all mean im sooooo last and confused[/QUOTE]

Um.. if you truely mean guitar, then you arein the wrong forum..... O.o

LR

Aww, feel the bass love. ;)

Groovy.

[QUOTE=ScorpSath]Hey lr,do you know me eh eh?!?!?

What ever happened with the mx compilation cd?[/QUOTE]

*ugh*

You want to honestly know what happened to the CD?

:upset:

It was a great idea, and I loved doing it, but there were lots of problems. At first it was me waiting to get a new computer. Then it came about that I should have limited how many songs I accepted. Then, I was having issues with people complying with ****.. .I needed title, band name, members, etc.. and people would just ignore my email.

I got very frustrated.

That summer was... to say the least.... extremely difficult for me. Unfortunately, my depression took a turn for the worst.... I almost ended up hospitalized in August. :upset: The CD became a huge burden.. something I knew I couldn't finish because of my present state... I wasn't getting any help, and at that point.. it was more important for me to try to work on myself. :(

I still have all the songs... I probably still have all the info backed up onto a CD somewhere. And if I actually went back, I'd probalby be able to get rid of half the accepted songs because people aren't here anymore.

That is what happened. I'm sorry. :upset:

LR

O Im very sorry *e Hug*


But hey the question still remains, do you remember me.

Wow, that's really bad. I've been through depression before (although not as bad as being almost hopitalized) so I can kind of relate.

I don't think anyone can really blame you for not coming out with the CD.
Maybe there will be a new one someday with all us newbies. :lol:

Cods, sorry I don't mean to be a jerk or anything, but your avatar really, really sucks, and I really never thought that a figure that has done so much harm would be related in any way with music. Out of pure curiosity, do you actually admire him??? because I can give a little fact, today there was a bombing here in Bogotá that killed like 15 persons. The FARC took responsabilitie for it, claiming something really stupid, and the phrase ended like "in the name of the Che and his glorius campaigns we have decided to bla. bla, bla, long live the revolution!!"
****, I'm so ****ing pissed out at you and any one relating to that sort of crap, glory of the revolution, glory of dying for the revolution, what about the glory of killing for the revolution? Where's the glory in that.

^ It isn't Che's fault that those people used his name like that, he's been dead a while.

As if Cods had anything to do with what you are talking about. Yep, he planned it and everything :rolleyes: So you are pissed at him because he has an avatar of an icon that you don't particularly appreciate. Take your anger and your frustration out on the real culprites... not someone who you hardly know, out of a simple picture, and high-jacking my thread at that. It says "casual stuff, come on in" not "your avatar sucks and I hate you..."
