Dan Steele Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 13 hours ago, Paxo said: Bass is for failed guitarists. Having rarely touched a bass in my life, I reckon I could pick one up and be playing it to your average working musician's standard within an hour. May the ghosts of Bernard Edwards and Jaco Pastorious keep you from sleeping for a month. At least. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UsedToGoToCentralPark Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 How many bass guitar players does it take to change a lightbulb? None, us piano players can do it with our left hand. [emoji1787][emoji23][emoji1787][emoji41]. There are bass players who are fantastic, like the boy from Primus. He's ace. Les Claypool, tremendous. Also, drum solos, I recommend the Ginger Baker documentary Beware of Mr Baker. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesP_81 Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 To echo the sentiments of many recent posters here , if you find drum solos tedious and bass playing simple then you're listening to the wrong music. I say this as a guitarist with over 20 years experience who wishes I had the skill to be a drummer or play bass well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny developed into John Martyns very very very heavy-drinking onstage/offstage buddy occasionally resulting in the odd scrap on or offstage. Seen him with Pentangle and Richard T. Played with hunners of fine musicians but can there be any finer accolade than having played on the original Thunderbirds theme? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rizzo Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 OH made a replacement "sorry you got the rona" cake, just in time for me losing my sense of taste.

Todd_is_God Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 There are chevrons painted on a Northernly section of the M6 to encourage you to leave a gap between yourself and the car in front. They have painted 99 sets of them which irritates me massively. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 The Nike shirts with the broken stripe down the side. I can't even imagine how much this must infuriate people who actually have OCD, as it rips my knitting something awful. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
