  3. Thanks for the post. I wasn't aware of Leon RIp
  4. @Scott I get really annoyed with out of tune AND out of time players. When I was a young buck just starting out on guitar for real, I remember the frown from the older guys when I was a little behind or ahead of the beat. One (pretty famous who I won't mention) would begin to furiously stomp his foot to the beat when I was off time.
  5. Thanks DBM. I just joined. Looks like they have some "guitar" groups established. I'll see how their privacy and rules fit. We do need a better social site like FB without the bad stuff.
  6. Speaking of brothers: Chet and half-brother Jim [video:youtube]
  7. +1 Dan So....what do you call this group? http://www.maximumbands.com/bob_marley.html
  8. I would submit that the terms "Tribute" and "Cover" are marketing tools to position the expectations of the audience. At least when I see a band advertised as a "Tribute" band, I expect to hear music written and recorded by the original. It may be rearranged but will be highly recognizable as the original's music. I would be greatly disappointed if the music by the Tribute Band included other band's covers or original music to the lack of the band that is being honored.

    Metronome

    I must admit, when I was trying to teach myself piano/keyboards I used a metronome. The drum loop was somewhat distracting plus the metronome just seemed to remind me of my school band director with his baton. Haven't had it out in many, many years though. Now it's so much better using the drum loops or bass loops. (Actually prefer the bass backing tracks). But, to each his or her own! What works to make music better is the right answer.
  10. Good Luck with the new setup. Sounds like you're set for a few years?
  11. Surfer Girl, absolutely correct decision. Reminds me of the son: "You've Got To Stand For Something" by Aaron Tippin (Country) [video:youtube]
  12. @Fang and Fred. I can agree with that. So I guess I was thinking "Cover Band".
  13. @Fang. I guess we should agree on the definition of a "Tribute" vs "Cover" band. I've always differentiated between the two by the music they play. A tribute band might play songs that were recorded by the original group but they also may insert original music that is a "tribute" to the original, i.e. similar in style and tone but original in lyrics and leads. A Cover Band only does covers of the original. But that's my own definition. It's not something you find in the dictionary.
  14. A good one [video:youtube]
