[QUOTE=jaco jr]what is wrong with cracking knuckles and caffeine?

please dont say puke-fizzle - some friends of mine are starting to call me fizzysick because of one bad experience with a lot alcohol and lemonade,
it brings back bad memories - so if you wouldnt mind - cos it really annoys me :thumb:

Donna Lee is at 210 bpm if you're talking about the Jaco version.

basicaly you want to play it at 230 for quarter notes

...230 bpm...

Seriously? I always thought it was 210... That extra 20 beats will stab my fingers...

Phil, cracking knuckles doesn't lead to arthritis. It's a myth. It's never been proven. I can scientifically prove it's not bad if you want. :)

Please do Gav! :)

I don't think its bad for you, but I'm never sure.

psh look at it this way, could it hurt to stop?

Yes, it could. Sometimes when I'm playing, I'll make a stretch, and my finger locks, because I haven't cracked it, causing me immense pain. I can do it easy once I've stopped to crack it.

i could probably do eighths at 230 bpm
my bands latest song goes up to eights at 200bpm, that simple enough when you use three fingers
time to look at a tab :thumb:

Geez, you know how many BPM your songs are...?

We just play at whatever speed feels right...

:smash:

OK:

A joint is the meeting place of two bones surrounded by a thick and clear liquid called synovial fluid and ligaments. When you crack your knuckles, you're pulling apart the joint, thus increasing the volume of the synovial fluid.

Now, pressure is inversely proportional to volume. As volume goes up, pressure goes down. and vice versa. As the volume increases, the pressure of the fluid decreases.

We know the three phases are solid, liquid, and gas. When you expand the volume, the pressure keeping the fluid a liquid decreases, thus causing the fluid to turn into gas in the form of bubbles.

*crack*

Basically, you crack your knuckles, bubbles are created in the synovial fluid, the bubbles pop, causing knuckles to crack.

It takes about half an hour for the bubbles to re-diffuse into the synovial fluid, hence why you can't crack your knuckles in rapid succession.

lol only cos we write into powertab so we can have a new song almost sorted before each band practice :thumb:
and according to the tab donna lee is 218bpm, and i dont think my left hand could even dream of moving that fast - maybe donna lee is a way off me yet :thumb:

Yey! Love you Gav!

now explain why old people who cracked their knuckles a bunch have huge knuckles in comparison to those who didnt

:naughty:

Heehee, science is making me giddy ;)

:smash:

Phil: Coincidence

:)

im just wondering if there is a set name for tempos?
because many of the tempos on pwertab have a phrase by them eg- 160bpm = moderately fast rock
or is this just something the tabber puts in to help?
apologies for the n00bish question

this is irritating me - a friend of mine got asked to play bass for the jazz band the other day - and he was at their first rehearsal today
the music teacher at my school asked him - i just get irritated that because the music teacher doesnt like me i dont get asked to do stuff like this - and i know im better than my friend, the whole reason i chose not to do gcse music was cos of how much i dislike the music teacher lol
