Guitar, drums, bass, tab, lesson, gear talk, music making thread.
Electric octopi will save him …

Opti must be much happier safe in the fluffy soft mist of belief - free from the thistles of reality and those annoying questions on SN.
Anyone got songs they are obsessed with learning?
Mine is Little wing, Hendrix version, i can play the intro (fingers picked, i dont like picks much), but i kind of had to dumb it down to learn it (no double stops and only half of that weird chord near the end of intro to make it easier, and i play a few little bits slightly wrong, but still flows fine)
That said i made a spotify play list of all the live versions to listen to one after each other in the car alone and he never played it the same as on the album, every version is quite different.
Watched this video below last night, very interesting.
Im inspired to go back over it and try to get it right, then one day tackle the solo.
Fun song to play though and IMHO one of the best sings ever, i still think Hendrix is the best guitarist ever just his style and flow.
This is the vid i learnt from
Used to be able to play a passable version of this. Probably my fave Hendrix:
Also Mick Taylor's unreal solos on Hide Your Love. Fcuk, he's good!
great vids I-D! I liked both guys and really enjoyed their approach.

any Melburnians interested in 2 free tickets to some 80s Uk punk at the Gaso in Collingwood on Saturday? (Chaotic Dischord, Glen & the Peanut Butter Men, Bastard Squad, Thatchers Snatch.. )
Indo, many songs, I simply love YouTube for the access to easy tuition. My problem is that I never learn a song from beginning to end, I just poach the bits I want
But after a few beers I can begin to figure out some of the solos, or more accurately the gist of them. Nowadays I find it's more important to learn the rhythm guitar section first, as that's the song, not the solo'ing. Basic I know but I've always been a slow learner.

Good luthier and nice bloke.
Chats in the Day St carpark, they can last longer than the surf session.
If Coops ran it, the stock level would drop dramatically, but it would be highly entertaining.

Learning this one, not all that hard to play in its basic form. forget the solo and dont have to play the chord embellishments around the verse note for note thats the beauty of Hendrix, go listen to live recording and they are never the same, just play what feels and sound's good, sounds good on an acoustic too.
Here you go Indo, Peter Hook and the Light are playing the Forum in May next year (tix on sale tomorrow). 6 string bass a thing that intrigues?
As a fellow Cure enthusiast (RS played a Fender Bass VI), you should buy yourself a Hookey Bass 6 Pro from Eastwood. When Eastwood borrowed and modelled their replica on Hookey's famous bass, he took a replica on tour instead of his cos he loved it so much!

Peter Hook & the Light will be playing both the New Order and Joy Division 'Substance' compilations back to back. Perfect old-feller early-winter 2024 gig..

The 6 string thing no not yet, i havent played my bass for a while, the on off switch got broken, have to look into fixing it.
How cools this thing a vox guitar organ.
I expect you could get pedals for this these days, but sounds exactly like the album.
What will they think of next?

Anyone notice the recent uproar of destroying musical instruments.
1960-70's every Pop/Rock Guitarists & Drummers smashed Guitars / Amps / Drums
If you didn't...couldn't be in a band...go back to school.
1984 Close to the Edit ~ Smashed Classical Instruments
(Banned in NZ for Violence towards punk Kid ... not the posh Instruments?)
2008 In this Ad all Instruments gets squished...no blood & guts
Turning Point....
2022 X factor Judge smashes contestant's dead father's guitar
Guitar mop up crew clean up the entrails & Judge returns with a cuppa and heaps of cheers...Huh!
You Tube Comments ...all want the judge gone...really tuggin' on yer heart strings here!
2024 Exact same ad redo with Instruments getting squished ...now has the world in an uproar.
Begs the Obvious Question...
If Video can kill a Radio Star...
Q : Is it legal for a Robot Guitarist / Drummer to Kill their instruments...
If they did...would the World cry & demand the Rebel Robot be powered down or Squished?
Q: If a robot can't smash his guitar...can other band members smash his guitar or sack him or it?
And again...should the Musician's Union ban the Band for bullying the Robot to smash shit up?
Reason for asking ... Cannot find a Video of a Robot smashing a Guitar or Drum Kit...
They're only programmed to disintegrate the Human Race...all are fine with that...
You'd reckon Robots smashing guitars would still be a prerequisite for being hired in a band.
For some reason...eHarmony Commissioner is denying Robots the Pleasure of smashing guitars!
Like it'd be real cool ....(Pause!) To clarify...Think tbb is saying it would be real sad!
Yeah! As said...be Really sad if Crew found evidence of a Robot killing a musical Instrument...don't cry!
Pretty sure that won't & can't ever happen...Coz we'd fail to exist in this time continuum! Maybe!
Recall Marty jumping that Ai Shark on his hoverboard...No! Now that ended real sad...All say Aye!
Doc : "Can't mess with the timeline!"
@truebluebasher
I don't get why people are so upset.
Like you clearly show, destroying musical instruments was a right of passage for rock stars over the years.
People loose their shit over inanimate objects being destroyed, yet they hardly raise an eyebrow as bombs drop from the sky and massacre humans all around the planet on a daily basis.
Get your priorities right you dumb fucks!
I dunno.
Never been a fan of bands trashing gear, mainly because I've seen it setup too many times (friends of mine shopping for cheap guitars at pawnbrokers to 'destroy' on stage).
If it's a visceral reaction to a show, well maybe - but I still think it's a little cliche. Do bands still go back to their hotels and throw TVs out the window too?
@thermalben
Yeah, I also think it's a waste of time and doesn't achieve anything. (unless of course you've had a a really bad day and want to get some anger out..lol)
I feel playing mindless pop songs with said instruments way more disrespectful and disturbing..hahah
...but I'd also like to think that it's people's choice to do whatever they want with the things they own.
This fucking cancel culture makes me shake my head some days. Stop worrying about insignificant shit and look at what's really important. Humanity and Nature!
How about we try and cancel poverty, starvation, environmental destruction and wars instead!
Bill Bailey and the crew muse on this (5:20 mark). Throwing a flat screen tv out a window is like throwing a chip packet….
Punk vs Privilege
Recall tbb said 60/70's ...
Punk
Our Punk crew would struggle to keep gear together...as in Roadies holding broken stuff in place.
As in the head of a Guitar propping up a Crash symbol until it was struck...raise'n'repeat...real pros!
Sure...always some pissed bastard dive bombing yer gear...
Always let any wannabe crew have a bash...that's as punk as we could afford...(Sounds punk enough!)
Seen 1,000's of mostly rough end of town gigs...but few real smash it up gigs.
Most likely to outta it to recall either way.
Do recall several mock smash ups...some agro kick of a bass drum + tap'n'go on amps + some prods!
Not really upset if some punter smashes surfboards like Guitars.
Sentimentally challenged when emotionally attached Heritage value is on the line.
Like tbb's drum stix are of more value now than of the day...as any vintage instrument.
Join the protest to save a gig...all of us are rockerz are hard wired to do that.
Guessing it all comes down to livin' a life of in the course of one's life, attitudes will inevitably change.
Was cool when it was once rebellious to the man but not when it's by pretentious VIP Bullies.
Rock Star : "Hope I die before I get Old or just after my 1,999,999th comeback tour!"...well durr!
Privilege
Born with a full set of Ivory in one's mouth...the above posh Judge denounces DV...
Raises money for Museums by smashing other family's heirlooms...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dmytro_Shurov
Soon after Judge smashes Guitar...is awarded Ukraine's AO + Country's Top Eurovision Role.
During Covid / Conflict the Guitar Smasher is being groomed as next stand up comedic El Presidente.
Ok! Maybe not yet...but all come to expect this level of inbred pretentious Guitar smashing shitfuckery.
Cannot make this shit up...all seen this in their nightmares...he's the next chosen Leader of Ukraine!
Mopping up after that Rotten Apple Ad
Sydneysiders, small-esque $50 upright Baldwin piano, type into eBay:
'Baldwin Upright Piano Made In USA' - Balmain, from adrianc1340 (679)
(I have a few pianos, also this exact Baldwin model, my most go-to for writing music, maybe my fave american music company.. 'captain's cabin' sorta thing, punches WELL above its weight. And has a clarity like an electric piano, but without the 'eeww' sound. Not tinny, just like how you might choose a parlour guitar over a dreadnaught. ^ zero bids, ends tomorrow. Easy 2 man moving job, this one).
I know Sydney is the world-capital for shitty $100 pianos, but this one is good and it is little.
Not sure if much interest in this, but yeah the thread topic says it all,
