    How do you learn the fretboard?

    This. Also after you've done the scale, saying the notes, I do it again saying the interval.

    What part of "Too Loud" don't you understand?

    Yes it might, but you wouldn't do 150mph on a single lane road full of hairpin turns. It's appropriateness. I can't understand how playing so loud the audience leaves could ever feel good.

    Windows 8 Released

    Yep, you can also put shorcuts to apps into one folder and run it as a "drop down" menu. I've done this for years. Several folders of different apps pinned to the taskbar, click on one and it drops a list of everything in it.

    Band got boooed at Blues Festival.

    I have a 500Watt poweramp for my hifi, I have it that powerful so everything sounds sweet even at the lowest volumes. "Overall" volume should be set by the venue/audience. Not the band.

    What part of "Too Loud" don't you understand?

    It's a lack of musicality and understanding of what music and performance is. Ego too.

    Ever been ripped-off by your own boss...?

    I had a boss who ripped me off for 100's of pounds, I knew I would never get it, not a chance in hell. So I quit. However, what I did do was report all the dangers in the workplace to the local authorities, wiring, plumbing, structural work, fire exits, alarms, extinguishers. In the end it...

    Compressor for TV?

    if you are watching DVD/BR and this happens on a TV, you need to switch the sound from 5.1 (default) to stereo (2.0). There are also some audio settings in the system settings area which will "remix" the sound to an approximated 2.0 format. The same might be happened on TV shows too, if they...

    MAME

    Inside the MAME directory there are several folders for different additional files, ie, roms, snap shots, control panel images etc etc. You simply replace the folders with ones you "acquire". It's as simple as copypastering folders. How was it a PITA?

    Looking for a looper drum machine that records

    If you have a computer, simply plug your bass into that and use some software like ableton. it will be a universe more useful than a drum machine. just my opinion though.

    I'm 52:do I need a fistfight over loud guitard?

    I have no time for fist fights at all and will talk/ignore my way out of it at every turn. If however anyone ever attacks me for no reason, they want to hope there is nothing that can be weaponized within my reach. I would just as soon hobble someone with a brick than return a punch, not going...

    Black Flatwounds

    Thanks again. I like the look of the DA tapewounds, but if, as you say, they are pretty low tension, they might not work for me. I would like to be able to try many different kinds to find the right ones for me, but it seems like it could get expensive fast. On a related note, how do I know...

    Rehearsal studio wouldn't let me use my own guitar stand

    I thought the reason for going to a studio was to make music, not bicker about pointless things that can be addressed in seconds. It might be a "dumb" rule from the musicians pov, but the owner surely has their reasons and as the owner they are well within their rights and reason to apply any...

    I haven't been "playing" very long at all and can't say that I am any more than intermediate in any technique, but I practice pick, finger and slap every time I touch my bass. Sonically, I couldn't say one is any better than another, how could one make such a determination anyway? The...

    And rules, as I recently found out :crying: I can't vouch for the amp, but I own a pair of behringer "truth" studio monitors and they seem absolutely solid for the price. They beat everything else I heard in the same price range. Holy smokes. They are $600 here in Japan 0_o

    how to avoid drinks & stuff placed over my amp?

    Cover is the best option. The valium is however not, no offense, but that is a drug that should never be joked about, even as a joke, it is evil.
