This is a very interesting book on the subject of cellular memory in transplant patients: "Paul Pearsall, MD, a psychoneuroimmunologist and author of The Heart's Code, has researched the transference of memories through organ transplantation. After interviewing nearly 150 heart and other...

Totally unfair...

I wonder if the ear lobe might be an alternate place to get your blood drop for testing. I know they took blood from my earlobe once at a blood drive, to test for iron levels.

Go for it, Dexteroth! Get the best teacher you can possibly afford - one who has professional music training to best prepare you for an academic music program. And then work really hard this year and in college. Count yourself fortunate that you know at this age what you'd like to do for a...

If I understand your question correctly, you need to get some music that has both tablature and standard notation, in order to easily see the relationship between the notes on the staff and the fretboard. Can you get or order online some books that have the tab below the standard notation?

+1 on the drum machine idea! A beat inspires me to create original bass lines, and I can sit and groove by myself for a while, getting lots of good practice while having fun. (I just moved up from a little battery-operated drummer to a GNX 3000 today. :hyper: ) To keep it fun, jam...

Presumably, her teacher has her practicing the scale straight up and down? As another 47-year-old female noob, I'll be watching this thread with interest. I have a little guitar experience, but I'm still bass-teacherless, and I recently started looking for new ways to practice scales and...

Milk or Dark? :)

Uhhh, you guys could've warned me not to read this thread while eating supper. :eyebrow: Once my sister was eating Campbell's soup and encountered something unchewable. Pulled it out of her mouth and it was a mouse foot. :spit: She never contacted Campbell's about it. I told her she...

Clever trick, huh? :smug: Actually, I've gotten quite adept with negative numbers, what with balancing checkbooks and all. I have $25 in bills and about 2 bucks in change today, so I'm quite rich, comparatively speaking. I usually only have about $5 -10 in my purse. Doesn't pay to...

Hello Lady, and welcome from another noob. The Ibanez SRs are nice basses. I started out with an SR300, but sold it after I switched to a short scale bass. The fret spacing on the short scale is just so much closer to that of a guitar, which I also play a little. Haven't been here myself...

Beautiful blue and burling!

Oops! I pointed and clicked, and clicked a few times more, and now I await the arrival of my GNX 3000. :hyper:

+1 You might also want to use a bicycle lock to chain the case to the bed or other immobile object. Like it or not, your roommate will have people in and out of your room when you aren't there, and sooner or later, someone will prop the door open while they "just go down the hall for a...

Some very nice looking basses here. :) My Mustang is actually called Vintage White, but the color is not so different from my Honey Blonde Hwy 1 guitar, so I figure it qualifies to be shown here. The flash makes it appear significantly whiter than it actually looks in person. I'd call it a...
