Get off my LAWN! "Grumpy Old Farts"

[spiritbass]

That sounds like it was inspired by 1974's "The Groove Tube". Here's a sample:

I saw "The Groove Tube" when I was in boot camp. I think I actually have a copy somewhere that my brother burned for me...

IIRC, there was another, similar movie, back then, called "Kentucky Fried Movie".

"GT" and "KFM" were both pretty funny, but, like SNL, most of their 2 minute sketches ran 2 minutes too long.

We made all the way to Blues Monday

I always knew that, deep down, Black Sabbath was really just a blues band................




Did I see Ozzy smiling and having a good time?

...braggin’ now...
Our daughter MET (JoJa hug around his neck) Buddy Guy...at his Chicago blues club on Saturday night!

I don't know how bluesy this really is, but the blues band has me learning it this week, so I'll put it up here for Blues Monday.

Bill Champlin joined Chicago in 1981 and had a long run with them.

Got tickets to see them this summer! (Sons of Champlin, not Chicago)

This may help your guitar player, the bass kind of follows the guitar riff. Andy, the guy presenting the lesson is a stickler for detail.

IDK if this is really Blues, but....

Can't leave this out. I was fortunate enuff to see this iteration of the band live 3 times. Fantastic! Always coveted Jim Fielder's gig-and long fingers:

Cool! I'll pass it along. I just told him a couple of days ago that it's possible to slow down a YouTube video; he didn't know that and was trying to learn it in real time, which would be really hard here as some of those licks are pretty fast.

I do everything left except bass and guitar played viola starting in grade school. they would not teach me left handed so fretting with the left hand just made sense when I picked up bass

Mark Knopfler is left handed and does a pretty good job playing guitar right handed.

How?

 

[mikeoso]

Thank you so much. You have made an old who attended the shows at the Fillmore, Fillmore West, and Winterland every Sunday very nostalgic. Now that was a group of Grumpy Old Farts! Jack sure could make that Epiphone sing. It is too bad that Jorma is the only one left.

I dont understand...Jack and Jorma are on tour right now.

 

[GwenOnBass]

That was J & J at the game just a couple nights ago ^

 

[Fat Freddy]

Poor Jack....Taken before his time.......

How?

While playing the video:
-Click in the three horizontal dots or bars (called the hamburger).
-Click on the gear, audio quality. Youtube will dumb this down so pick the highest quality available.
-At the bottom of the main list is playback speed. There are keyboard shortcuts for this and pause, move forward or back. Can’t recall what they are but I sometimes use them when I’m not on an ipad. Youtube remembers the playback speed so reset it to normal when done.

Videos that I like I download to my computer. I use an app called ClipGrab on my mac. Similar PC ones are available.

Agreed. They're on tour now. Must be a halogram!
