this makes me want a real fretless

and a loop pedal

i've got this sweet setup going now, my music ex program at school, im specialising in performance, so thats my new "chop building" class.
in stage band its fairly easy so im doing that to learn to sight read.
my regular music class helps with theory, musicology, and composition.
and my provate teacher helps with virtually everything, theory, improv, chops, new techniques.. whatev


just thought i'dlet you know :)

i'm currently trying to learn to play chordally better as well as looking seriously into two-hand tapping. DT'ing could be fun to

The more I think about it, them more I feel that if this EUB project of mine turns out the way I want it to, I will pretty much switch over to fretless almost exclusively.

Maybe push it to Double Bass level. I do enjoy slap still, but it is about the only thing I really do on my fretted apart from aimless noodling.

Can you guys believe YouTube was started 2 years ago in some dude's garage? The guys are 23 and 26 years old and now they each have about 600 million dollars...wow.

I think I'm going to buy some flat/groundwounds. I've decided. That will my reward to myself for going to the dentist. Now, to call and see if any of the crappy stores in my town have strings at a reasonable price. Yes. . . :cool:

lemoley 10-10-2006 12:42 PM

yo peeps

Aerodyne 10-10-2006 12:44 PM

Shouldn't you be in school? :lol:









:wave:

lemoley 10-10-2006 12:46 PM

errr no....


:wave:

Aerodyne 10-10-2006 12:49 PM

Oh. Okay then. :upset:



Anyway, my flatwound idea has died. The closest thing I've got locally is a set of Fender tapewounds for $40, or drive an hour to GC for some D'Addarios. That's probably what I'll do, but not today, I'm lazy. :lol:

Well I'm off to the dentist. I love laughing gas and novacaine. So much fun. :smoke:

lemoley 10-10-2006 12:50 PM

:lol:

see ya buddy

It's pretty wild. There are many times where they really utilize both drummers, makes you go :eek:

I want to play a fanned fret fretless. I think it'd be trippy.

I think it would be dumb. :eek:


I mean, really... let's just make the most impossible instrument to play.

;) Bingo.

I agree that it's a stupid idea, but it might be fun to noodle on.

Spaceman Spiff 10-10-2006 03:21 PM

You smell like pumpkin.



But dual drummers is the way to go. Melvins, you make me smile.

Well thats enough reason for me to buy it. I have a bit of a drum obsession. Probably wont get my hands on it for a month or two though.

Aerodyne 10-10-2006 03:24 PM

Well, I'm back from the dentist. And I can't feel the right side of my head. :lol: The man does good work. He gave me a white filling and shaped it like a tooth. :amaze: Can't even tell anything was done. :thumb:

Thank you. I showered this morning.

BenJammin 10-10-2006 03:27 PM

I really need a new picture for my myspace page. I don't even have a beard or hair anywhere near that long anymore.

If it was lined I think that it would be quite easy.

But then it's just the same as a lined fretless. If it's fanned and unlined, which I'm sure is what was meant, it's just ridiculous.

Some say that a fanned style is easier to play, and to me that makes sense. After all your fingers get closer together as you move onto higher strings.

Yeah but they mean an unlined fanned fretless. Its just unreasonable. Unless your like, Michael Manring.

[QUOTE=Duncster;13417522]Yeah but they mean an unlined fanned fretless. Its just unreasonable. Unless your like, Michael Manring.[/QUOTE]

IMO a regular unlined fretless is just as unreasonable. You would play any unlined fretless by ear, why would it being multiscale make it any more difficult?
