And since I'm so frickin' proud of the drum program, why not share that, too?!?

:ninja: Saved for "Borrowing" :ninja:.

I still say you should take this bass home with you to keep your KOA one company too.

And who knows, they may "groove" together and you'll hear the double thumbing pop of little short scale Roscoes around the store:smug:

:D

God Bless, Ray

Yay!!!!

Now if I could learn more of this, I might get somewhere.:smug:

I've got several E-Books that Brian (PlanetEarth) sent me, and I've read through them from time to time, but I've yet to really grasp what everything means y'know.:hmm:

I'm learnin' man ;)

Thanks for the quiz.

:D

Books are good and all (and they're priceless as reference material). But if you want to learn most of this music stuff, you really have to use it. I had no idea what 12/8 sounded like before this week. I have this "Blues" fake book that said "12/8" for this tune, so I went & wrote a drum part in 12/8 after listening to one of Willie's versions. Now I now what it means!

12/8 is pretty cool. The kick and snare sound like 4/4, and then the high hat plays triplets against that. So it feels pretty straight in some ways, but it also has a fun triplet bounce to it.

Go figger!

The more I pester you, the more I'll learn.:D

"Hey Greg What this mean????":ninja::help:

I want to learn to read etc, and you're right, to understand it you need to use it.

Divin' in head first, and I can't swim:eek::smug:.

Thanks man.

:D

If you can feel it, you can play it.

Went on an audition the other night for an originals band (note to self - do I really need to be in 5 bands along with a day job?!?!). One of their tunes has a 9/8 section. It feels pretty natural, though the transition from 9/8 to 4/4 took a little practice. I actually only know it is 9/8 because I wanted to do a rough chart and sat down and counted it. Yes, technically it could be a measure of 4/4 and one of 5/4, but I like 9/8 better :D

When I went to audition they were shocked that I nailed it. I mentioned that it was 9/8 and they said, "we just play it...but most of the other bass players didn't seem to get it." It helped that a previous originals band I was in had a tune in 7 that I loved:

Odd time sigs are fun when they groove. When they don't, it is prog :D

Damn, this one has *that* sound, too.

I'd be VERY tempted to send a deposit on this one. However, I was recently told by someone that "root pounders" aren't allowed to play Roscoe basses.:hmm:

So, tomorrow night, I'll be "pounding roots" using a pair of Ibanez ATK's. In sparkly finishes. So there.:smug:
