I do tend to play lighter in a folk/americana band that I play in just because it's real mellow and I use lighter sticks. I'm going to beat the poo poo out of my kit in my rock band though. Monitors have been a godsend. I don't have to ask people to turn up anymore, just give me more in my monitor!

Ferroque posted:Having monitors helps everybody tremendously, I really can't stress that enough Yeah, we go straight into the board with the guitars and bass. Then we put a mic in front of the bass drum and hang another one on a boom over the snare area. Everything sounds great coming through the monitors. The drummer is a happy camper.

Dude's got a smooth left hand, but how come none of these god drat things have anyone with a high speed camera to actually verify if he picked or fretted every note? Which he definitely didn't.

Considering they made the "gently caress Obama" Les Paul posted earlier, I really wouldn't be surprised. On the bright side, you know how cheap and portable audio recorders are really difficult to find these days? Well the geniuses at Gibson have finally solved the problem with this stupid loving cable.

bisticles posted:. In the weekend-warrior-lets-just-play-mustang-sally-for-20-minutes bands, the band usually just plows through the solos and verses at full volume, whereas the seasoned guys know how to back it down, throw in just enough notes to keep the song on track, and let it breathe. You'll have to forgive me, I am not musically inclined. Is that sort of like how on a lot of music nowadays (how it's mastered) if you look at a song's volume level it's just full-bore from start to finish instead of having an appropriate ebb and flow?

Instead they just, you know, finish the song. blues dads don't like to finish a song. they want an infinite return so they can stand around stroking their necks.

It's never been to do with old/young but rather with knowing how to play with a band and knowing when to shut the gently caress up. Bluesdads are generally pretty bad at this, metalkids are not much better. Can always tell the difference between a pro band and a kiddie band by how often both guitarists are playing at once, even if it's the same thing (it's always).

calling bullshit on this. 'flight of the bumblebee' is in 16th notes, so at 120bpm you're playing 8 notes in a second. playing that ten times faster at 1200bpm? 80 notes in a second. to put that in perspective, if you were to play at 1300bpm a row of 16th open low es, you'd be playing so fast the note couldn't even complete a cycle! musician_powerlevels.txt

Weird BIAS posted:you've managed to fundamentally misunderstand what bpm means, gg Um, he hasn't though? I'd you were playing sixteenth notes at 1300 bpm, you'd be playing 87 notes per second, which is bullshit. The problem is that at some point the math changes to playing quarter notes at whatever tempo instead of sixteenths. So yes, he's playing 1300 notes a minute, or sixteenths at 325 bpm, close to double the original tempo, which is still loving impressive.

every note can be a beat, and when doing timing measurements like in that video every note is to be considered a beat. this is incredibly common in drum timing videos partly because a larger number is more impressive than saying you played 325 bpm sixteenth notes but some software and hardware that measures that poo poo assume all notes equal beats. It's incredibly obvious what the guy was trying to say by 1300 bpm, not 1300 bpm sixteenth notes, which would be 20800 beats(or notes) per second.

I don't disagree, but the inconsistency bugs me and he should have started counting at 680bpm rather than at 170, because switching like that caused ths restarted argument.

Here's a fun video of Jim Stafford (probably best known as a comedy/novelty country singer, but also a pretty decent guitar player) showing off a Roland G-707 in the mid-'80s on the Johnny Carson show by doing an "Axel F" cover. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3VgdpU2nEw Good lord, the tracking on those things was bad -- I'm pretty sure most of what sounds like Stafford loving up the tune is actually the G-707 loving up the tracking. (BTW the reason it says "Branson, MO" at the end of that YouTube video title is because Stafford uses his entire YouTube account to promote his Branson show.)

So I guess steampunk bands are a thing that exists, and, I don't know, maybe you would wear a kilt or something.  Want to see it in action? Are you sure? There's like a belly dancer or something. I don't know. I don't know anything any more. I should get off the internet. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ESK279XocP4

yeah it supposed to be like a fender hardtail, string thru body. I have no idea why it has the stoptail, it was like that when I found it in the pawn shop  I played it pretty regularly for 5-ish years and it didn't give me any issues, and the neck isn't shimmed. i find it kind of charming in a kludgy way so i'm just going to leave it be.oh also the wiring is a nightmare and i'm pretty sure it only still makes sound because of black magic. but it makes beautiful sounds, so if it ain't broke...
