Dave Bryce Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 If you are right-handed, you should be able to write fairly well with your left hand if you write backward while also writing normally with your right (like a mirror image). Just tried it, and....no. LOL. Takes a little bit of practice. I learned to do it in 4th grade from a teacher who was INSANE about DaVinci who originated it (urban legend...just reporting my experience). I'm fairly ambidextrous. I can write/draw mirrored or synchronized. dB Quote ==> David Bryce Music • Funky Young Monks <== Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Synthaholic Posted August 30, 2018 Author Share Posted August 30, 2018 Didnt know where to drop this, but it must be seen. Thought about posting it in the guitar forum, but: 1) I dont know anyone over there. 2) Who cares what guitarists think? Its a great reminder of what a monster player Steve Howe is. He captures Les Pauls style perfectly. [video:youtube] Edit to add: it also may be the only time Ive ever seen him jolly and playful. He has always seemed so dour and serious to me.

Bobby Simons Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 I was pleased to see Steve forgoing his pretty strict no handshakes rule for Les. I saw LP play the Iridium shortly before he passed. He was still doing two shows on a weekday night. His son, who looked pretty damned old himself, was running the board and handling the tee shirt sales. Les, crippled with arthritis, told more stories than he played, which was just fine with everyone in the audience. After all, there were not many people alive to tell of being babysat by W.C. Fields and getting stinking drunk with Bing Crosby. Now there are probably none. Quote Yamaha P515 & CK88, Pianoteq, Mainstage, iOS, assorted other stuff.

The best, after this Steve Howe, might be the Larry Carlton one, with an outstanding female bassist, Nicki Parrot. Theres also Dickey Betts, Brian May, Slash, ZZ Top, Joe Walsh, Zack Wylde, Chuck Mangione.

TommyRude Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 Its a great reminder of what a monster player Steve Howe is. He captures Les Pauls style perfectly. I'm probably the only one on this forum who thinks this way - - I've never been a big fan of Steve Howe's playing. The song orchestration and parts, that's obviously great, and Yes music is iconic. But a lot of his solos and general playing, seems very painful and not so much for me. If you want some effortless picking style shredding, here you go.

Synthaholic Posted June 20, 2019 Author Share Posted June 20, 2019 Apple Warns Customers to Stop Using Some MacBook Pro Laptops (Bloomberg) -- Apple Inc. on Thursday recalled some MacBook Pro laptops sold between September 2015 and February 2017 due to a "battery that may overheat and pose a safety risk." The Cupertino, California-based technology giant said in a statement that it is asking customers to stop using the computers. The problem affects the 15-inch version of the older MacBook Pro. The company said it will replace the batteries in these models at no charge. "Apple has determined that, in a limited number of older generation 15-inch MacBook Pro units, the battery may overheat and pose a fire safety risk," the company wrote. The recall notice marks the second from the company this year. In April, Apple recalled some wall plug adapters for international use that could create a risk of electrical shock. Over the past several years, Apple also announced less critical replacement programs, such as for batteries and storage drives in the 13-inch MacBook Pro.
