Dylan Posted May 21, 2001 Share Posted May 21, 2001 Okay, I expected to see a little more valuable information than what I've seen so far. It's a great concept, but the content is pretty weak so far. If you haven't heard about this yet, then you can check it out at: http://music.harmony-central.com/email/tipzine.htm. Here's an example of a brilliant tip that was sent out to the Bass Tips recipients: "To play a half step anywhere on the fretboard, go to the next fret on the same string." Wow, now that's some-ground breaking information ;-). Actually, the production and music biz tips have some valid information, but the instrument tips have so far been pretty lame. Come on Berklee, you guys can do better than this... -Dylan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greed2000 Posted May 23, 2001 Share Posted May 23, 2001 I too am disappointed. I expected more from Berkley. Hopefully they will put some meat in soon...or they will end up on my junk e-mail list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gchildpblutah.com Posted May 23, 2001 Share Posted May 23, 2001 I agree. I expect juicy tidbits that they are telling their students in class at Berklee. It's supposed to be cutting edge, industry standard. Today they sent me a tip about how to practice properly at the piano. I believe I learned that when I was 15 or so. And for piano prodigies they learned that when they were three or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KidCharlemagne Posted May 23, 2001 Share Posted May 23, 2001 me too. but if you're familiar with the book they're quoting, you shouldn't be too surprised. strictly for rookies. a few good tips embedded in it but not many. let's hope they look for a little more content. lord knows, if they relied on the faculty, they'd find some gems.

Curve Dominant Posted May 24, 2001 Share Posted May 24, 2001 It seems as if Berklee has really dumbed-down since I was there. My roommate could play every Joe Pass chord solo note-for-note. He was 17. Frank Zappa was recruiting his bandmembers right out of the rehearsal rooms. It was intense, but it seemed like every 4th year guitar student sounded identical, and my composition teacher really had a stick up his *ss for tried-and-true clichéd chord changes. I came back to Philly after one semester and didn't even consider going back, but f*ckin-a, I learned a lot in that three month period.
