Let's spread some musical misinformation

[Common Tater]

BREAKING NEWS...
On his death bed Justin created the #deadstar movement just before passing on. Overnight he gained 200,000 followers who eagerly await his next tweet.

They'll be waiting with great antici...

Guitarists who break a string during a gig, want to draw attention.

...or maybe their string was under too much attention.
Actually, I think it was the guitarist from The Guess Who that wrote a song about his guitar string breaking during a performance. IIRC it's called "She's Come Undone".

LOL
Of course, these things also happened before we had twitter...

That guitar player would be Johann Sebastian Bachman.

That guitar player would Johann Sebastian Bachman.

That's the one! He's a Canadian from Canadia. Just like Justin Bieber.

And Celine Dijon--who mustered her singing abilities to sing in Vegas

I thought she was Sealion Dying (with the usual odd spelling you see with so many artists).

I think that was written by Burton Cumming. Of course, not his real name. He changed his last name to Cumming as part of a bet - that he could get Canadian DJs to say the slang term for ejaculation on air.

Bass guitar 101..

sharps and flats are played with your right hand

 

[Count Bassie]

It's impossible to play a natural note with two fingers simultaneously.

 

[GBassNorth]

Most people don't believe in ghost notes, they say it's just a figment of your imagination.

 

[GBassNorth]

I've been learning different fretting hand techniques. Unfortunately, the whole hammer on and hammer off thing is making a real mess of my fretboard. Should I be using a ballpeen hammer instead of a claw hammer?

 

[GBassNorth]

The three finger technique feels much more natural, or so I've been told.

 

[GBassNorth]

Tapping, popping, and especially slapping your bass is heavily frowned upon by state wildlife fish and game wardens.

That's what my girlfriend said, too.

Lol, "Let's Spread Some Unnecessary Information"...

"Boofing", in music jargon, means playing in the key of Bb.

Vamping refers to employing a riff or figure used as a motif in songs about Dracula or Bela Lugosi.

Doofus originated as a term for a horn player unable to play in Db, and later, just a horn player before just dumb people in general. It didn't ever get used for viola players, though, as it proved to be wholly inadequate to the task.

Why, oh why didn't these EU morons ban the kazoo.

Because it was implemented by the World Court, and it wasn't up to me... or EU.

To play blues, and especially to play Cream covers, you need to use a 5 string bass tuned BADGE.

You also need this bass if you want to play 'Bad Boys' by Inner Circle.
However, don't take it with you when you form up your posse. You won't need no stinking BADGEs.
