    Key Changes in a Blues

    Hey guys, Thanks for all the help so far... What I wanted to go for was an instrumental piece with a fairly simple groove, with the harmonica player blowing away on the E sections (probably 2 choruses at the start of the tune), then shifting gears as the guitar player solos over the key...

    Key Changes in a Blues

    Hi guys, I wonder if you can help me.. my theory isn't great and I'm trying to write a blues tune that changes keys several times after a 12 bar (I-IV-V) verse, and then resolves back to the original key. Using the IV chord I have made the keys changes like this: Verse 1 = 12 bar in E...

    A bass for all styles? Help me....

    I have a G&L L-2500 and it cops a lot of tones, but she's bloody heavy. If your playing 3-4 hours, she might not be the bass your looking for... something 'light' and a good strap is in order.

    Newbie question: Ampeg BA-115 seems too quiet?

    Sorry, I can't comment if your amp is broken or not, although it sounds like it is given the comments from greater brains than mine. I have one of these too (with the "tweeter mod"), and agree that it is a little soft, but it's great for practice. When we rehearse, or play small cafe type gigs...

    Lakland Quality debates...REALLY?!?!

    I can't comment about recently made Laklands, but I bought a Lakland 44-02 when I was in the UK, came upon hard time and had to seel her... I have regreted it everyday :bawl:. Hands down the best bass I have ever owned. I hope to afford another one someday.
