Also old Haydn and Mozart pieces were written for c Clarinet. And apparently plastic C clarinet is replacing recorders in the UK?

If those steam punk shells were not brass, I'd actually like them. Steel hardware would look pretty slick.

Non ironically would play that stratele.

The brass isn't what messes with me there, it's that they're brass frames for GLASS SHELLS

yes let's make drums from glass and then hit them. good luck not shattering one the first time you knock the floor tom over by getting up too fast or trying to move something---hell, even taking it home is a dicey proposition.

I never encountered the seemingly-everywhere "you have to take home a recorder and learn it in school" thing. I guess it's just a UK thing. I know people used to write for C, but the whole thing just seems weird to me.

also apparently I am alone in thinking the stratele is the ugliest guitar I've seen this week

Where the hell do I start with Hank III if I'm completely unfamiliar with his stuff? He's gotta have like an intimidatingly lengthy discography by now, huh? I know he's been active for decades.

surprisingly compared to the old country guys he grew up around he doesn't have too many albums

ghost to a ghost/gutter town is a good enough overview of most of what he's about

Here's something stupid I just found, idly looking through stuff:




I am bad and dumb at music, I know, but come the gently caress on, there has to be a more reasonable way to name that chord.

Prog is for nerds and I am not big enough of a nerd to play what I listen to.

If the top line is the nut, and standard tuning is being used, that is just an E maj 7 chord lmbo

To simplify, it's just a Db minor add 9 (Db Fb Ab with an Eb), all that the /Fb part is telling you is that the 5th is in the bass. The add 9 is important because that tells you that this is a a Db minor triad with a 9th, if it was a Dbm9 there would be an implied 7th added into the mix.

It could also be considered an Fb maj7 add 6 - Fb Ab Cb (left out but the 5th in a 7th chord is the least important note) Eb with a Db

Once you start to get past basic triads and 7th chords, you start to end up with a bunch of ways to name chords that are largely dependent on chord function and whatever the person naming the chord feels like. Since we don't have any larger context for this chord other than the key, we can't really nail down the function so the name is pretty fluid, depending on how you feel like stacking the notes.

The one thing about contemporary chord notation is that it seems more convoluted when it comes to inversions, basic chords are built with the tonic of the chord at the bottom but you have anything else on the bottom and you get and inversion. So notation like that is just saying Dbm(add9) over Fb. Fb is already in the chord, but it's just stating that the lowest note is the Fb rather than the Db. It's really stupid, since it's just a Dbm(add9) chord which is easier to read.

Yeah but they specifically want that voicing with the Fb in the bass/left hand of the piano. Chord changes are for bass players too.

Yeah, it's in standard, and that's the nut, it'd have indicated a fret if it was further up.

In context and not at 3 am or whatever, it's pretty obviously to track the descending bassline through the few bars that line is part of.



Also in context, it's still incredibly nerdy poo poo.

I wish I still had pictures of the 3 band EQ I had to make in college that I half assed together and hour before it was due, call it an experimentally raw circuit or some poo poo. We got to pump whatever we wanted through it when demoing it for the TA so I thought this would hide the fact that the mid and bass bandwidths were pretty much stepping on each other

This is actually kinda cool for what it is, which is a cheap instrument for teaching kids to play something. Which are frequently in C even if the instrument they're based on is a transposing instrument. Are you going to blow a gasket about plastic fifes in C too?

I've been using George L's and Mogami cables for years with my strat and tele. I was always curious about the high-end cables though. Lyric HG KILLS George L's. It's like your guitar is in 1080p HD. Bass note definition is incredible, the mids are totally natural and uncolored, and the highs are all there (those who play fenders take note) but they're not harsh. The single notes bloom and have real 3D quality to them. If you know what dynamics are and actually use it in your playing you will be in tone heaven. You just feel more connected with this cable. Full chords and jazz chords is another area where you'll see improvement. It sounds like you have more headroom, volume and space all at the same time. The manual says it takes 40hrs to break it in with 80% after just 10hrs. I was impressed with this cable straight out the box and it only got better. It kind of creeps up on you and you find yourself smiling at the tones your getting out of your same old gear.

All this great sound does come at a price (and I don't mean $$$). The cable uses solid conductors and is very stiff and unwieldy. Not a problem if you use it in the studio or if you don't move around too much when you play. If you're going to be walking/jumping around the stage I would go with a different cable even if it didn't sound as amazing. Personally, I don't so I won't.

I think that anyone with a good rig and a decent set of ears will truly appreciate this cable and what it does for your tone. Especially if you're a guitar-to-amp kind of player.
