Btw Gear used 250 watt yorkvile amp. Cort artisan B4 model with 760 fl flat wound by la bella strigns. and I've used to effects proccessors one is a bp50 and the other one is a digitech bass synth wah. So tell me what you think gang ok?
to be honest, i really couldn't hear what you were playing, it sounded like the drum machine was right next to the mic, while the bass was out in the background
well it was the mylaxin mode.s and I though it was ok. ok next time I willtern down the drum machine.
superbassman2000 said:how are you recording that?
it sounds like your bass amp was in the next room
digital recorder and usb port..
no I didnt but next time I will do a pc direct record. anways could y0ou hearme stayingon beat though at all??superbassman2000 said:
wow..
wel.. if you want to learn to play in time, then i recommend you get a metronome, turn off your effects and practice with the clicks on "one". In your recording you're starting in different parts of the bar all the way through.. and it seems you couldn't find the "one" from word go. it was also hard to figure out if you were trying to play on or off the beat?!
this is all constructive criticism.. which is what you asked for.. so take it for what it's worth.

well.. i'm not wong, i do believe he that he may be the guy that works in my local takeaway joint though...
i had another listen, to give you the benifit of the doubt.. and i stand by what i said before. you start off playing on all the off beats (one AND, two AND), so when you asked if you were playing on the beat - well quite simply you're not. The riff then degenerates to the point where it is impossible to tell where you're you think the "one" is.
again i'm not trying to be harsh.. but you wanted the feedback, so there you have it.
andy.
true...didn't you ask in the first post if you were keeping time, then you got an answer and you you told him he was w(r)ong?bass349 said:
why not just post a "see what i can do" rather than a "need input" thread
Like I said sorry guy's but what do think on this time around? I had my teacher play rhythm for me.

What am I listening to? I can only assume you're old enough to know who James Brown was. Go back and play along with those old songs. Don't look up tabs. Listen to the songs of his as well as Temptations and early Motown stuff and just play along with it. Learn by listening and your timing and ear will follow.

Thanks. Thank means a lot from you. and Yes I know who James Brown is, hes an Honeray Blues Brother. and a hall of famer as well. I like his style music. Thanks again.
hmmm Yea your timing is a bit off. Try tapping your foot. Not on every note but on every 2 and 4. Just listen to the tune and start snapping your fingers don't worry about your playing. The snapping should be your count.

Couldn't hear the first example, but the second is completely out of time. Like you were trying to play with no time.
