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

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.

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

lol woot. I can read most of it , but i dont liek tabs that much , its hard to get the rythm for the song unless you have osmthing like guitar pro

^ I have no problem with rhytm. I notice when people start off at bass they had difficulty keeping the rhythm and need metronomes, but I have absolutely no problem learning rhythm. I have difficulty learning the notes and the patterns, but with rhythm I can do it very well. Not to brag, but I think it's weird.

No , i mean i find it hard to figure out the rythm of a song , by just readin tab unless youve heard the song before

:lol: Vag

Yeah, he just means that some tabbers are pretty hopeless at representing rhythm :p.

Guitar Pro 3 was my favourite way to learn songs for ages. I still use it for composing.

:confused: what the heck is that?

Read it in the context of the post before it.

Homework.

My brother's in for the weekend.


Going to a party maybe later tonight.



You guys?

^ Ah, I see.

It's "No, I didn't" backwards, by the way.

:rolleyes:

Well, anyway, what's everyone up to tonight?
