hdmackay Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 Yeah, that's what I thought. I'm gonna be doing a Grade 7 Rockschool this year.Don't the Associated Board only do acoustic guitar though?I do ABRSM for piano. It's much mor formal than Rockschool.I have my grade 5 Piano on Tuesday. (Shitting myself)Haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew62 Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 Is that how you think comfortable is really spelt? That Ibanez bass is nasty to look at - so, so ugly! I'd take my 85 japaenese P-Bass any day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_malcolm Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 yeah my spelling can be pretty bad at times and i have no spell checker here at work. meh looks arent everything when it comes to instruments, and as previously mentioned they look a lot better in the flesh.

davey1991 Posted March 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 Is that how you think comfortable is really spelt? That Ibanez bass is nasty to look at - so, so ugly! I'd take my 85 japaenese P-Bass any day.Honestly, so would I although there's little doubt in my mind that the Ibanez would be nicer to play.Anyone with any more new wooden pieces of glory?

Hendrix Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 Thanks duude. So did you do you Grade 8 ABRSM!?!?That's pretty intense!Yes - and Rockschool.Did most of my grades with Rockschool, until I realised if I wanted to be used for more classical stuff as well, I'd need some "classical grades". All my Flute exams are Associated Board - and I'm Grade 8 on that too now. I hated the Grade 5 theory you have to do to do Associated Board anything above Grade 5.

hdmackay Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 Yeah, it's quite a stupid rule.I'm gonna have to start on theory now, if I pass this exam. I aint done any yet! HahaSo, what all instruments do you play? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamtrials Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 Yeah, it's quite a stupid rule.I'm gonna have to start on theory now, if I pass this exam. I aint done any yet! HahaThere are practical musicianship exams or the jazz exams that can be taken at grade 5 level instead of theory.That said the theory isn't particularly hard as long as you have a teacher to check your working, I started learning theory 2 weeks before the exam and got a merit...

davey1991 Posted March 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 Go buy another one then .Did it get really stiff when you did it? Where did it break?Nope, it just went dead center without warning probably had a kink in it.Had it just below the point of being tuned still felt vaguely loose.

Hendrix Posted March 22, 2009 Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 Nope, it just went dead center without warning probably had a kink in it.Had it just below the point of being tuned still felt vaguely loose.That's weird, might have rubbed on something while being tightened up?

davey1991 Posted March 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 That's weird, might have rubbed on something while being tightened up?Maybe, but midway down the string?Ahh well the project has begun, majority of the varnish has been taken off along with the stickers. buying paint soon.

Hendrix Posted March 22, 2009 Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 This is my new project. Coming up in the next month:New pickups - new strap - locking strap locks - new scratch plate - new tuning pegs - new strings - new volume knobs. It's being sent off for an over-haul set up after my Yamaha comes back from being made.. fancy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Posted March 28, 2009 Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 Could anyone recommend me a cheap set of guitar strings for an electric? I know nothing about guitars but have an old one in my room that needs strings. I'll be getting them off ebay if possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
