Sign in to disble this ad
Hi guys,
not sure if this is the right forum for this (mods feel free to move). I've been landed with a 6 string Yamaha TRB for a forthcoming gig, trouble is I've only ever played 4 stringers, now with a lot of blood sweat and tears I've managed to get used to playing it without accidentally hitting the low b and c..however I'm actually getting intrigued by the possibilities with this beast. So, I'd be grateful for a few tips from other 6 stringers out there (exercisies, links etc.).
thanks in advance guys/gals
Murf.

This derailment reminds me of a few things i have bought from the Mall [Spencer Gifts] you guys might dig. T-shirts, hats, bumper stickers, key chains, and magnets that say "Support Local Music" then in smaller font underneath "sleep with a musician" everything is black with white letters. I have everything but the magnet. I might buy that too though.
6 string? Practice, practice, practice. I only play a 5 so far-i don't really know what it takes/is needed with a 6.
That's all

I've worked there for nearly 3 years. My last day is Sunday  I'm quitting so i can relax some my last semester in town [high school], and so i can focus more heavily on music-plan it to TRY and gig some before leaving for college. That's all
