Let's spread some musical misinformation

[PillO]

Meg White has apparently tweeted that, as flattered as she was to be asked to join Rush, she felt she didn't want to dumb down her very economical jazz style at this juncture!

Untrue! Rush broke up because after 40 years they decided that they were never going to be able to make a living playing prog rock. Neil joined a country and western band in LA, Geddy is playing blues in a bar on college st. in Toronto, and Alex is a bar tender in Nova Scotia.

Jmlee is definitely not on some form of recreational space-rock substance!

The balalaika was invented by Pythagoras

That from AliExpress? I see some of the frets are missing...

The best pickups for black metal are optical pickups, using ultra violent light.

Then I guess we know what pickups are best for blues, too. Yep. In fact, the blues were named for the color of light their specific pickups required.

It's from AliFretless.

Pythagoras loved shortscales by the look of things.

Thunderous bottom end is extremely important. Don't leave home without it.

As Kanye keeps reminding Kim.

The ancient Romans actually invented heavy metal with all that bronze all over the place--they needed music to match.

No, it's just economy. You'll never use notes like B flat, so why have a fret for it? It's just wasteful.

The reds never caught in because the frequency of the light is too low to capture the upper harmonics

I thought Geddy was being asked to join Anderson, Bruford, Wakeman and Howe? Of course Jon Anderson has retired so it's Ian Anderson, and Rick Wakeman's son, but Thick as a Roundabout and Skating Away on the Thin Ice of the Topographic Ocean have never sounded better.

The new line up will be called "WHABL? Yes!"

 

[Ray Matthews]

No, actually Geddy refused to join as the band because they were too exciting !

I know her.

A skilled musician can play anything without sharps or flats.

Flats and sharps are for starters.

Or fretless players. Oh you meant intentional ones.

Cold, just cold.....

Use a tiny rubber mallet for hammer-ons. Easier on the fingers.
