Nope!

well, PFF, perhaps not in that thread but the quote "an extensive knowledge of theory" was bandied about by TEAR HIM A NEW PIE RAT in another thread. While that may not be bragging per se, it does seem more like hubris than humble, dig?

As far as prolific, it's a lot easier to keep your foot out of your mouth if it's closed...

That's right - it was in a thread called "What about Improvised music" in Misc BG - here is the actual quote :

I do know theory, quite extensilvly. I have a teacher that I study with. I have had that teacher for a few years now. But I think what is important with theory, is that every once in a while, we need to forget about it, all of it, and just play. See what comes out, don't worry if it sounds bad. Who are trying to impress? What, do you think it's not worthy? Worthy of what, or whom?
I'm just saying we should take a different approach to music, thats all.

No wonder that to Ed, it sounded like teaching your grandmother to suck eggs!!

And this is the same person who said in GI :

Whenever I'm playing, and I try to switch form major notes, to flats or sharps, it never seems right. It is kinda frustrating. Is there any rules about how this switch should be made?

Does this sound like "an extensive knowledge of theory?

Does somebody think we only read one forum and don't look in the others!!??

 

[punkfunkfreak]

so will there be mp3? or have we just killed this threads original purpose?

 

[Bruce Lindfield]

Well I provided a link to clips of Steve's MP3s of improvised bass music.

 

[punkfunkfreak]

I will record and post a MP3 of me trying to improvise with my current bass playing knowledge, but I am waiting for Terry.

 

[Howard K]

i have loads of recordings with improvising on, not much 'just bass', but loads of recordings...

The day they make into the public domain is the day i hang my head in shame

 

[Guss]

I would love to. Wait, I can't, I don't have the materials, unless it is way easier than I know.
Maybe you were right Dancehallclasher, but the real point of the thread was for personal comparison, to see where I stand. Don't make it THREE threads about theory. (As much as I love them )

I have a bad feeling that I'll need some muy expensivo equiment to record an Mp3. If not, I'll need the info!

I've posted a explanation of "Extensive knowledge of theory" in the thread, but I'll post it here too. BUT THAT'S IT!! Please, get this back on track, if you want to talk theory, I'll be happy to discuss in one of my two current threads on the subject. Otherwise, leave it alone.

What I meant was: With me going online and posting an argument that questions theory, you would assume I did not know any. But, in reality, I know more than what you assume, maybe more than you would guess. So, when I said "quite extensivly" it was all reletive to what I thought most of you were assuming

[punkfunkfreak]

where are all the mp3s?

 

[Boplicity]

Terry, if you wish to hear material by musicians who truly have an exhaustive mastery of theory, just listen to any of the works of Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Charlie "Bird" Parker, Charles Mingus, Chick Corea, Pat Metheny, Al DiMeola, Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Lionel Hampton, Dave Brubeck,...the list goes on and on. It should be very enlightening comparing their improvisations with your own.

 

[moley]

You missed out Herbie Hancock!

 

[Misanthrope]

bruce,
it must be ages when I talked to steve lawson ... hehehe i just remember how I pissed him as a young bassplayer...

well, i still hope I`ll kick his ass one day...

btw how do they all do that beautiful fretless noise??? i might start thinking about some special ocassional bass or suicide hehe...

how horrible life is when you do not have a 3000$ for buying a great fretless...

btw i still like P.J.Ryba more... his cd Yes, Yes, No, No was awesome and the new one is comming up

 

[Guss]

I'd be very happy to make a little recording for you. Can somebody tell what I need to get, and how to do it? Because as of now, I know nothing. It will have to be cheap of course, and recorded using a squire P, and a 15 watt amp.


P.S.

Gabu, get your feline ass back in here. Your not done yet!
