tank_rider Posted October 7, 2004 Report Share Posted October 7, 2004 I have a boosey and hawks 400 alto sax, but i havent played it in about 6 months. I used to be quite good, but am not really any good at reading music. I mainly just listen to something a couple of times, and can work out how to play it (Y) .

ScotchDave Posted October 7, 2004 Report Share Posted October 7, 2004 ^^^^^^^ A man after my own heart. I get lessons free at school and my teacher hates me because I'm 'crap' can't sight read well enough. But at the school band (have to go cos of free lessons) I always improvise, haven't played a written note in years and I've bin caught out only a few times. Sheet music = practise for improvisation.

fairy elephants Posted October 7, 2004 Report Share Posted October 7, 2004 yea, i remeber the days of school band! me being the only trombone player in the school, they give me all the technical base lines, and hook me up to a microphone :"> if only i could read music properly! :(" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Clark Posted October 7, 2004 Report Share Posted October 7, 2004 Whats wrong with learning your parts like drummers, bassists and guitarrists? I've always wondered why other musicians always have to read music as they're playing, even in rock bands any pianists or brass people have sheet music there.

Mark W Posted October 7, 2004 Report Share Posted October 7, 2004 Mainly 'cos if you've learnt an instrument like piano, etc., you'll have been taught the 'classical' way where you get taught not to learn parts but to read them. This means they're more comfortable with the sheet music in front of them. Also, it's super useful. When I went and joined this jazz workshop thing, we had two days to learn 8 songs. I didn't 'learn' them, I just had to sight read them (like grade 8 standard too. we're talking fackin' hard), and it's really useful. And it's also pretty amazing how good some people are at sight-reading :(\ Anyway, yeah, I guess it's just what they're used to... Mark.

Mark W Posted October 7, 2004 Report Share Posted October 7, 2004 ...equally, if you wanna become a session musician you'll need to be able to sight-read. We're going through it in my bass lessons now, and it's not all that bad, it's just a matter of practising. It's still pretty freaking hard, but you get used to it. It's got to the stage now where I can read a sequence and not even have to think about fretting it 'cos I'll just do it, but I can't keep reading across bars at the right speed, for some reason :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Clark Posted October 9, 2004 Report Share Posted October 9, 2004 My pedal boards better. Big bit of MDF, with a block underneath to tilt the pedals a bit, covered in black tape for some reason, multiplug taped down, pedals velcro'ed on. How sexy.

Dai the Socket Posted October 13, 2004 Report Share Posted October 13, 2004 (edited) I've just changed my amp (Y) dont ask. I didn't like the marshall. But i've got a MosValve 100 Watt valved :P what do you all think? I'm getting some pedals but i dunno which to get. I'm thinking flange, wha wha (sp?) and metal distortion. Whatcha think? :P :- Edited October 13, 2004 by mod661 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Clark Posted October 13, 2004 Report Share Posted October 13, 2004 I seem to find wah's a bit boring. Delay is a lot more versatile and cooler than flange. Whats the overdrive like on your amp? Tube distortions are usually nice. I was gonna go get pics of my stuff, then my camera broke whilst recording at band practice, perfect.

Erm.. well! ;) The distortion on my amp is phenominal but it needs a good clean out I think. It's abit crackley which is quite annoying and I've broke the footswitch but thats the least of my worries. ;) It's got a little bit of dust etc on the cone but I'm thinking it might be the internal connections or my guitar, hmm. The distortion's really good though, and it's a really powerful amp, it makes my windows shake on half drive and volume settings! :( Any suggestions about the crackling? ;) Cheers.

Mark W Posted October 14, 2004 Report Share Posted October 14, 2004 Shitty electronics? I guess it's just that if you're using a really dirty tone unless it's a good quality amp it'll probably have a bit of background noise which'll just get drowned out the louder you go? Speaking of guitar amps - Al's decided he wants another amp to go with his Mesa Boogie Nomad, so he's getting a Cornford Hellcat head. We went and checked one out, and it's the nicest amp I have ever seen. It just looks f**kin' awesome! http://www.cornfordamps.com or something like that. I'll try and get a pic. Mark.
