Let's spread some musical misinformation

[Jay2U]

Here's some of the finest misinformation: which type of bass am i looking for?

Geddy Lee has written a full album of material during the pandemic with the working title Workings of a Mind in Disease.

Unfortunately, finding musicians to perform the material is challenging. Alex will play guitar, but he can't find a drummer who can keep up with time signatures including 8/7, 4/13, 3/3, 4/9, and 21/11.

My drummy says that's not so bad except for those darn pesky 13th notes. TOO MANY FLAGS!

IMWTK - can anyone else's drummer count to 21??? (Not enough fingers and toes.... )

Mine can! He uses the extra 'finger'.

 

[jeffbrown]

Mine can! He uses the extra 'finger'.

Drummer? He can find it? (Ducking for cover... )

Yes! Evolution is unpredictable.

I know this is misinformation, because the real Geddy would have written the song in 21/12, not 21/11

That's why no one understood they were actually covering the Beatles.

There is an air guitar in every home built after 1923... It's the law!

So he's ready to jam with Hound Dog Taylor?

"Taylor was born in Natchez, Mississippi, in 1915, though some sources say 1917. He initially played the piano and began playing the guitar when he was 20. ... He was famous among guitar players for having six fingers on both hands, a condition called polydactyly."

He put a slide on that extra finger...

I have a rare, vintage 1922 air guitar. And the cops are none the wiser!

Django only needed two fingers.

 

[Feral Feline]

Only 'cause he was a duodactyl, did Reinhardt fail to employ a physical brass or glass slide as per Bluesers such as Hound Dog Taylor.
To compensate, and make those impossible sounds of his fingers sliding up the neck, his brother Joseph holding the guitar would running past Django's stationary outstretched hand and fingers.

"Vite! Vite!" he would implore Joseph, vying for ever-faster finger slides.


AN' THAT, chillun, is why they're called "RUNS".

...and the chickens were on the run.

So they were a .... band on the run? Wondered where those lyrics came from.

Because his fingers were always so greasy, Colonel Sanders had to give up playing the bass....

That's the problem, but the music industry could always find a place for him as an agent, manager, or record exec. 'Greasy' them becomes a marketable asset.

I've been waiting for this.

For a clear signal, use cords with straight jacks. Right angle jacks are known to dampen .0005 % of the amplitude of frequencies over 15K.

There were plans for a supergroup consisting of Geddy Lee, Heavy D, Sheila E, Jay-Z, Ice-T and Kenny G.
They were going to be called "DGEZLT"... But, it fell through.

That is a good thing for bass!

The right angle jack is best for bass. However for left handed basses, a left angle jack is beast.

Geddy, Jay-Z, and Heavy D are collaborating on a Spinal Tap tribute. Working title: Heavy Ged and the Jayz.

Alex Lifeson is working with Ice T on an Bruce Springsteen tribute. Long Island Life's Tea.

There will be a test in the last post of the Thunderbird Club.
