    How to lock in with a drummer is such a subjective thing. Advice welcome

    I have played with a drummer a few times and never had a problem. However since I have been reading so much on here about it, it's got my mind in a frazzle and I think I am over complicating it. I have spent at least a few hundred hours over the past month listening hundreds of different styles...

    Question about sharps and flats in a key sig

    It sure did meatalhead. I meant the key sig clef I guess. It does show which line on the staff should be sharped or flatted.

    Newsted

    I dig the heck out of Trijilo, but just so ya know, Newsted left Metallica they didn't fire him or anything. He could have stayed forever. He needed a year off because of his shoulder and neck injuries. As a mater of fact they all needed some time off and should have listened to Jason.

    Newsted

    Jason's new band rocks ass. I didn't know he could sing like that. Did any of you? And have you heard them? Need I also remind fellow bass players that Metallica chose Newsted over Claypool.
