Look man you had some really great advice going on regarding playing with/without the metronome, recording yourself for feedback, getting feedback from others. I agree with this 100%.
Is this how you guys respond when somebody says they don't like what they hear from you? If so then thank you very much I'm quite happy not measuring up to your standards...

I'm arguing that if the expectation is for the band to follow a metronome click precisely, then that's the goal end of story.

If I said that the whole Ferrari story was an analogy, would you offer me an antihistamine? Quote: |

I simply hate being unprepared to do my best to either support the music being played adequately or knock my own socks off during a solo, but after a year and a half of doublebass lessons I couldn't resist throwing myself out to the wolves to see if I could keep a pace just far enough ahead of them to come out alive. | This posted in mid 2003. Gee, a whole year and a half. Better watch it Ray, he might catch up in 10 or 20 years...

| | | | Lessee how the numbers work out.
Considering that we're both full time, professional musicians, at a ratio of 2/25 he's at about 8% in experience. Not that this means much. Just a number. In another 25 years it'll be 27/50 which would then put him a little over 50%. Not that experience is a linear thing... |

Get it right already.  
p.s. Johnny: Knowing these guys, I'd seriously check your facts and act with much humility when you go up against any of these old vets. Not only can they debate very well, but they're usually right about what they say cuz they got plenty of experience to go on. That's not to say you can't have your own opinion but I'm just recommending you do some research or pay some dues before you start arguing.
And about this subject in particular, not only are many of these guys echoing the same thing, but I also got scolded by my bass teacher for the same ****: bobbing too much even though I thought I wasn't doing it. Just imagine trying to do something like solo fast bebop lines to Donna Lee at 220 bpm while your ass is bobbing back and forth, trying to keep time. I would highly surprised if you could keep your sh!t together and still sound coherent. |  | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
