Maybe for guitarists. In all my years of playing, I've never gotten lost in the mix. Never been told my sound is off. I've always gotten positive comments about my sound. I'm never too loud either. Joe Bonnomassa plays Blues Rock music and they can get loud. I don't play in that type of scene. Mostly old school R&B/Soul/Funk, Smooth Jazz, Pop Top40. In Rock and Blues Rock, the guitars play very heavy and some frequencies can get buried very easily so the need for extended eq comes into play. Lastly, who's got room for a 31 band eq? Sure, keep it at home and learn your frequency points, like he mentioned, so you can converse with a soundperson or studio engineer with knowledge. Music shouldn't have to be so complicated. Real musicians know how to sound good.
Excellent points DW. There's never enough knowledge to be gained through everyone's perspectives. I appreciate everything you, Coldchi and Woodchuck teach me.
They definetely should be. Somethingn that should be fixed in the coming years with Kool & the Gang being in now.
That is sick!!!
BIG ASS MUTHAFUCKIN TITTIES.
ALREADY PLAYING AIN INSTRUMENT HELPS LEARING A NEW INSTRUMENT.
Good stuff here
Steve got stories for days
I always wondered about his slide technigue
Awesome
I seriously need to look into standard G tuning.
Excellent video talking about the playing style and gear of SRV. One of the greatest guitarist ever!!!!
Good stuff. Those exercises seem like a pain in the ass though. You can do a variety of things on the bass to make good music. Nothing ahould be off limits.
I understand. It’s definitely a bit on the intermediate/advanced side. And a little niche-y.Good stuff. Those exercises seem like a pain in the ass though. You can do a variety of things on the bass to make good music. Nothing ahould be off limits.
I like that the guy leaned on learning chords and inversions though. And how he showed the method he himself used when he learned. Beyond playing chords on bass, getting familiar with the notes on the fretboard and knowing how chords are structured could be useful for conceiving better single note bass-lines- ones that add some flavor to the 1s and 5s.
but speaking of bass chords (and ”Rain” by SWV)…
Yeah Man, Jaco had the string "harmonics" down.
If you lightly place your fingers at certain intervals (or nodes) on vibrating strings, you can cause their harmonics to ring out.
A lot of people tune their instruments to their harmonics as well.
Absolutely he did. He was before his time and died before his time. What an ear that guy had to even compose that song's motif. Yeah I've seen people do harmonics tuning. I mainly play guitar and defer to the electronic tuner lol.
