michael saulnier Posted June 29, 2001 Share Posted June 29, 2001 OK, this is obvious. But the proof is that with Dave's assistance you guys are WELL ON THE WAY TO A KICK-ASS COMPILATION CD... I've listened to many of your mp3 posts posts and some of you guys are hitting HOMERUN's!!! WOW!!! REAL TALENT! And SO MANY RESPONSES! Who'd 'a guessed? meanwhile... us guitarplayers are apparently not even interested in doing one, or too busy to send stuff in or whatever... ...While the supposedly intellectualy blessed ENGINEER forum guys are just going round and round and round on a big flame war... HAHAHA! Anyway KUDOS to DAVE for keeping the UEM "label" and lawyers off the whole thing, making it possible for everyone to have a fair "hearing" of their music, and hosting the only forum where everyone cares AND gets along... AMAZING! It's probably all that left hand plays the bass while the right hand handles the melody stuff from childhood right? Gives the brain a good workout! So how does a lil ole guitplayer get a copy of this when it's done? guitplayer ------------------ http://www.mp3.com/acousticvoodoo Guitar Forum CD Info http://www.musicplayer.com/ubb/Forum19/HTML/000537.html I'm still "guitplayer"!

b_3guy Posted June 29, 2001 Share Posted June 29, 2001 This summer I'm going to be a Instructor/Coach at a local music stores Summer Rock for ages 10 to 17 years old. The first meeting was yesterday. The subject was how many were attending & how many "Bands" would be put together. The General Manager said the final number wouldn't be decided until school was out. He said there is always a couple of guitar players that fail & have to go to summer school. The symptoms show up very early.

Magpel Posted June 29, 2001 Share Posted June 29, 2001 Favorite short guitarist jokes (I am a guitarist): Kid: "Mommy, when I grow up I want to be a guitar player." Mom: "Now honey, you can't do both." Ba-da-boom. What do you say to a guitarist in a three piece suit? "Will the defendent please rise."

SFOracle Posted June 29, 2001 Share Posted June 29, 2001 Now if only we could get the guitar players to stop fiddling in the breaks. Do you really thing the rest of us can't hear that thin iritating sound of you wanking on your strat with the volume turned off? Our country is not the only thing to which we owe our allegiance. It is also owed to justice and to humanity.

Rod S Posted June 29, 2001 Share Posted June 29, 2001 Man, some of my biggest gripes in playing in a band was with guitarrists. (1) Having to tell them to stop playing so we can start the freaking song. (2) Dragging solos. The whole band is repeating the song over and over while he goes away soloing none stop. (3) Always thinking he is not loud enough, and always cranking the volume louder! (4) Always picked up the chicks. http://www.musicplayer.com/ubb/smile.gif Rod (getting his butt kicked trying to learn to play guitar) Korg Kronos X73 / ARP Odyssey / Motif ES Rack / Roland D-05 / JP-08 / SE-05 / Jupiter Xm / Novation Mininova / NL2X / Waldorf Pulse II MBP-LOGIC American Deluxe P-Bass, Yamaha RBX760 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krakit Posted June 30, 2001 Share Posted June 30, 2001 I've been doing a semi regular thing with a local drummer. He has a stable of folks that he rotates in his rehearsal space, just for fun. I'm one of them. Anyway, I often play with four or eight people that I have never met and who do not no each other either. I can't tell you how many times, the bass player might start a groove, that I and the drummer will pick up on, yet some guitarist will just sit there not playing and wearing a "can you guys stop fooling around so I can start playing Hey Joe" face on. I don't know half of the tunes that the guitarist (who always somehow assumes the "leader" role) picks to play, but I swing with it. God forbid another musician in the room starts to just JAM on a riff he made up. Then we're "fooling around" and "wasting the guitarists time" Carl This message has been edited by Krakit on 06-29-2001 at 06:04 PM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Bryce Posted July 1, 2001 Share Posted July 1, 2001 I don't care if you're only fifth in posts or whatever. Now, remember, gp, we don't really keep track of that, even if the other four got a head start on me... http://www.musicplayer.com/ubb/biggrin.gif Your forum has the BEST musicians... There is no doubt that there are some folks on this forum that can play some keyboards....some pretty good writers as well. I've been blown away by the quality of work so far. I can't believe how good everyone's music is... Thank you for your extremely kind words... please feel encouraged to share some of your music on the "Let's Hear It!" thread... ...especially if it's got keyboard stuff on it... http://www.musicplayer.com/ubb/wink.gifhttp://www.musicplayer.com/ubb/biggrin.gif dB ==> David Bryce Music • Funky Young Monks <== Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention the "my gear doesn't run through the house so I'll just fiddle on my axe while you all check levels syndrome". Maybe that's why he has time to pick up the chicks. Has to be the reason, after all, I'm much better looking ;-) Don. Our country is not the only thing to which we owe our allegiance. It is also owed to justice and to humanity.

mwisniewski Posted July 3, 2001 Share Posted July 3, 2001 Come on now, be nice to your guitarist http://www.musicplayer.com/ubb/smile.gif I really pissed ours off, though he won't admit it. I got two 150 watt amps for stereo effect (KC-500s), which i also use to cut through the band sound. Well now he's mad because I can up the volume when he starts playing really, really loud, especially during his solos, which he nails by the way. Then I started playing the guitar sounds secretly on my keyboard during the jam sessions, har, de har har, now he gets confused because he can't tell if it's him or me, oh that's a blast. I'll split the keyboard and have just one octave of guitar sound and then throw in a few riffs here and there just to confuse him. It's fun to just be slightly off the beat, or do a back beat, or even better, transpose it. He'll look concerned, look down at his guitar/fingers, frown again and wonder what the hell. Occasionally, he'll look at me for help, but the rest of the keyboard is usually on piano or rhodes so I'll just look innocent. The drummer gets it so I can't do that to him ... The kicker, and why i think he's mad now, is we had a small house party with all our friends and every body kept coming up to him and saying man that was a great solo you're a really good guitar player etc. Except he had just arrived and had only played two songs - without any solos. It had been me on the keyboard. Hahahahahahah.... All right, that's enough, I have to go buy him dinner now, or we'll be minus one guitar player.

Better than that is to mess with the sound guys. Load up your sampler with feedback noises and stuff, and watch them freak out trying to figure out what's causing it. Suggest something, don't do anything for a while to pretend it's fixed than go at it again.
