Indead :) We're making a basement/rehersal room.. Theres two guitarists, a singer/keys and me on bass.. we just need a drummer to join in :) but I fear there will be more jamming than studing, but I'm applying for music so it's all fine with me :D

Ah, in that case jamming IS studying.

Ooh you too? Good stuff.

I'm starting a course at the Australian Institute Of Music next year, begins in late February.

Hi everyone.

I played Halo 2 last night.

How? Doesn't that not come out for 10 more days?

[QUOTE=risbo]How? Doesn't that not come out for 10 more days?[/QUOTE]

Yeah, but this kid I met last night had a a modded x-box, and his uncle works for micosoft and hooked him up with a copy last week.




:amaze:

Sweet deal. How was it?

[QUOTE=risbo]Sweet deal. How was it?[/QUOTE]

Eh ... it was alright. Not as good as everyone is making it out to be. I prefer the original, but it was pretty fun. I did only play it for like 20 minutes before I got bored with the people playing it ....




:amaze:

I'm taking off now, maybe for the night. I have to do a bunch of stuff aroung the house, then work 5-1am...




:amaze:

Hey guys. :wave:

Wow daylight savings is spinning me out.

Apparently it's 4:32 AM now.

Still not into the fun routine called, "sleep" gaslight?:rolleyes:

Sleep is for the weak!

*was up till 5am playing with new bass*

I had a bit of a nap between 2 ish and 6 ish during the day, it gave me a bit of a boost.

I love that... I just learnt it the other day. Beautiful.

[QUOTE=e p]1st part of Stu Hamm's solo in San Fran.[/QUOTE]

Quahogs anyone? I learned the first part of that a couple weeks ago. Very nice.

On a scale of 1 to 10 , how well would you guys say you know standard notation ( 1 worst 10 best ) ?

^ Meaning written music?

0. I REALLY have to learn reading music. :upset: I am shame faced.

Hello all.

[QUOTE=Wintermute]Hah! The neighbours might!

If I lived with musicians the jamming would never cease...[/QUOTE]

I live in a basement apartment with 4 other guys. Together we have 4 guitarists, 1 bassist (:D), a drummer and a vocalist.

Our upstairs neighbours stomp on our floor just about any time anyone plugs in, so mostly it's acoustic jams, sans drums, but it's still good fun.

sight read?

How is everyone doing today?

[QUOTE=Basskiid]sight read?[/QUOTE]

Sight reading is when you take a piece of sheet music, and can look at it and read/play it straight away.

[QUOTE=TomJoad]How is everyone doing today?[/QUOTE]

Heyy, not bad. You?

woah. I guess i can do that for my level. I caqn read mosyl any peaace on first or second try and my teacher gives me. But **** , how do people actuly know every single note of the bass by looking at the sheet music. I can only dream about something like that

^ Years of study and practice. Very dedicated musicians can do it.

It's pretty intense stuff yeah :eek:.

It is attainable though, my teacher's have all told me that all it takes is practice. They have all been very modest people though.

I can sight read tab :p.

Ya I know. I think my teacher can do it. Anyone who lives/lived in the russia might know him
