Tapping really isn't that hard if you start slow and figure out how the two parts fit together.[/QUOTE]

That is the way to do it. I just do each hand individually until both parts are memorised, separately, and then I throw them together. WHABAM!

on the 1-5-8 my and sort of wants to play 1-5-#8. I'm getting it though. I have big hands, so it's not bad.
I love tapping. It's kind of like how you love looping; you can make something fairly simple sound really impressive and cool.

I love looping because I'm incapable of supporting myself musically without background noise. :lol:

The problem I always had with tapping is I would watch pianists who could basically play something in one hand, forget about it, and play a melody in the other, and I couldn't do that and got frustrated. I've found I really have to subdivide it down, almost look at it as diad after diad as opposed to two parts.

[QUOTE=BenJammin;13497603]I love looping because I'm incapable of supporting myself musically without background noise. :lol:[/QUOTE]

Same difference. My playing is bad enough to often constitute as noise.

Yeah, that sounds like a heaps long process. I just look at each hand's piece separately, and then combine the two pieces as I have already stated.

I would have a heads up on this if I hadn't dropped out of piano lessons. :upset:

That'll mess up your rythm if you're doing something with two different feels at the same time... especially if you want to do polyrythmic stuff.

Try playing a fugue like that.... not gonna work out too well.

Huzzah!

Someone give me a pity vote!

Actually, make it 2, so that I'll be ahead of Havic.

Someone cameup and told me they liked my music today.

However, this was balanced out by three saying it hurt their ears

Well I mean I learn each piece seperately, but at least at the beginning I have to think of them as one. Then I start to memorize the piece and it is easier. I figure that's just part of training my hand independence, I assume it will get easier.
I wish I had stayed on piano longer too. It's okay though, even the lessons I took as a little kid gave me a huge head start in understanding music. I don't remember a time when I couldn't read music. It was weird going into my electronic music class this year and being around kids who didn't know anything about reading music, I totally take that for granted.

I'm having enough trouble with simple stuff. I would prefer not to even think about polyrhythms yet.

I think I voted for you. Mainly because that tone is so sexy.

I'm personally content with just grooving all the time. I hardly ever tap in a band setting, so I don't practice it much.


TBH I hardly play bass outside of band practices now... it's usually guitar.

I'm surprised more people don't vote on the competitions.
Ben, six, and havics has only 13 votes :confused:

I'm much more a fingerstyle player myself.

I slap and tap only when I practice at home. Even then I don't do it often.

You mean 7.

:amaze:

And, yeah. People suck. It used to be only league 1 that got any attention, but even now that doesn't get a lot.

Yeah, I'm not in a band right now...

That's a big reason I've been tapping and stuff so much. If I had a band my priorities would be different.
I want to try to get up a jazz combo, but finding musicians for that might be even harding than finding ones for a rock band.

You did.

I like that tone a lot, too. I've got a nice distortion too, that I need to debut soon.

Know any programs or hardware for bass-->computer recording?

Hey, I play sax too! And I have the tone quality of a middle schooler!
I played clarinet for three years before playing sax. I sort of want to just try out my clarinet, see if my emboushcre is any better on that. I think it is.

If you're interested, I can upload Adobe Audition 1.5 for you. It's what I use.

The cheapest solution is to record straight to your soundcard with a 1/4" to 1/8" adapter (like three bucks) and using Audacity (free).

Yeah, I have been able to read music for something like 7-10 years. When I went into my music theory classes back in high school, these kids weren't able to read and I was just sitting there being fluent like I was born with it. It was weird, and a majority of the kids in the class didn't understand anything in the first place, so it was a bit annoying having to take so long to go through the process of everything. I already knew most of the material in the class as it was, but it was a nice review and a good thing to learn little things I had skipped over during the process of me memorising everything.

That's helpful, but i'm also missing devices for actually recording my bass.
Usb/1/4" jack or even a mic.

/hasn't played sax in an organized group in three years....

Concert band at school had no appeal to me. Played in sax in Jazz band awhile ago, which was cool. Played bass in jazz band last year, but they suck at getting info out at Fishers, so I'm not in it this year.

Go to radioshack or whatever, pick up a 1/4" to 1/8" converter, and you're all set.

Clarinet and saxophone players in here?

Represent!

I played clarinet for three years, and then I moved onto tenor sax and flute all while playing bass.

Gosh, I love music.
