General Discussion

Great interview with Jimi Lee, David. I first met him at SPAH in Sacramento where he totally impressed me with his playing and even more so with his "joy" that he mentions at the end of the interview. He is one happy dude that makes it so obvious that he loves making music on his own and with others. The jam circles he ran in the hallways were so much fun because of his enthusiasm. Thanks for another winner!!

I am practicing Tongue Agility ( Tongue Switching ) 1.1 as I switch to 4+ to 1 some how I almost get the 4+
1+ octave I hear it . It's just starting to sound .But than I loose it . Almost got it by chance and a little trying ( Mostly by Chance ).. Any advice?

Thanks : )

Back to practice : )

Hi everybody,

I'm DJing the first hour after midnight at our New Year's Eve blues dance. After Auld Lang Syne, what should be the first song of the new year? Our blues dance community dances to fairly slow blues (60 to 120 bpm, give or take). Anybody have any thoughts on what song should kick off the new year?

Happy new year to all. I hope you enjoy peace and gratitude for the rest of the holidays and throughout the year.

Anne Marie

P.S. Or, for that matter, know a cool, bluesy version of old lang syne?

(I put up what I came up with in the the Music to listen to section.)

I always watched his YouTube vids. This one vid he was playing with out the cover plates getting clear notes and just playing normal.I was in shock " thats not right" : ) and I was fascinated how can this be done? I can't get a clear not when the cover plates are on. Than I made the effort to practice as often as I can to play like " Chris and Joe F David B the and so on. : )

I am getting a squel on 7B & & 7D I can't get a clear not when practicing. But when I give a quick test it sound normal. Go figure.

So I sold a Fender Hot Rod Deville 4x10 that was fun for a lot of years. I have small amps but I need a big amp for shows. I would like something that will break up sooner than my old deville. So I am looking at 59 Bassman RI mainly because the price is right. I can spend more but I'd like to stay under $1200, I have found a 04 first year bassman RI for $800 that looks promising.

If the reissue is really that bad, I may get the HG50 but again that's a lot of money:)

Thoughts? continue reading...
