    Been stuck in a musical Rut for the past year...?

    Hey everyone my name is Matt. I have been playing the bass for about 8 years now, and have been teaching myself theory and basic composition techniques. but there is a huge problem. I haven't really been improving at all for the past year... maybe it has something to do with the fact that I'm in...

    Is Dream Theater still relevant?

    somewhat of an exaggeration, but, i guess you could say that DT is WWE whereas bands like Rush are UFC. :)

    Is Dream Theater still relevant?

    yeah, i do have to give you the fact that DT's musicianship is absolutely incredible. however, i grew tired of listening to them just because you can tell how "produced and composed" their music sounds. i'm more of a jazz fan these days, and i really admire how bassists like john patitucci and...

    the best song u've played on ur bass

    oh man, this is difficult... i'm gonna have to name a few here: "Rock with You"- Micheal Jackson- bobby watson's amazingly underrated bass playing opened my mind to funk and jazz "Freddie Freeloader"- Miles Davis- really easy tune, but so much fun to play!!! :hyper: really made me realize...

    Metal Fans Need Your Feedback!!

    dude, you know, i don't really listen to metal that much anymore (i'm going through a Jazz/ Prog Rock phase), but your band is SOLID. you're timing is impeccable, and i love how your bass player is able to cut through the mix. GOOD WORK!!! :cool:

    Is Dream Theater still relevant?

    yeah, i have to agree with the sentiments represented here. i used to be really into DT, but, as time has gone on, they have failed repeatedly to surprise longtime listeners. it's really kind of a shame. :crying: initially, i liked Black Clouds and Silver Linings, but i have to agree with...

    What kind of strings do you use?

    D'Addario 6-string light gauge Prosteels are what i like to hear. they're bright, they last super long, and they're light- enough gauge to play funk, but heavy enough for rock styles as well. :bassist:
