    Anyone nowadays thinking about being a gigging musician and getting rich is delusional lol. I am just happy I can live somewhat comfortable doing what I love to do. I am 53 myself and had quit playing serious early 80's. Even then I saw rates dwindling. Playing these farmers markets and such is...

    I miss being in a band at times. This weekend was a challenge. As much fun as it was I am glad it's only once a year. They already want me back for next year but wow. I will need a different approach to living their hours LOL I am a night person and having bells rung every morning at 730am was...

    Hey Dave. The life of modern day bands. I left a band and the guy running it said to me they had gone through 19 members in a year LOL. Jmur, I saw those capos and was thinking about trying one. I don't play with tunings much because I replace strings fast enough LOL. Confirmed and booked 40...

    I just booked one of those gigs that make you proud to be a musician... I am performing a song a guy wrote for his girlfriend. We are setting up in a park in Vancouver. While I am playing the song, he is going to propose to her. I am going to even offer a deal on my services because it's just...

    I can relate James. I don't play bass often. That's why I bought that Gold Tone M Bass with rubber strings.... though it is odd to use baby powder before you play.... I recorded a part this week with it and could hear the squeeks while playing because I didn't use powder hehe I have only jammed...

    I have gotten kind of lazy for 2 weeks. I have been writing but falling behind in the recording. I did put together the basis of 3 new songs. I was tinkering around with the mandola chord book to play some non standard chords. It gives me new ideas and melody lines. Since I added a 128gb card to...

    I feel your pain James. Computers can be such a pain. My laptop is an I7 as well and it gets way more use than my tower (it's amd with a bigger video card). I had to replace the hard drive then it started overheating. The thermal paste was gone.... well in the last day it has shut down for no...

    I went to find Animal logic. I found a few versions with different musicians. Then I just let it auto play on youtube all night. loved it all. I played down at the lonsdale quay today. outside beside the boy scouts making pancakes. it was family day... the quay is where the seabus unloads. you...

    yes you are right James. I just meant it reminds me of the ranges he plays... that's an all in one lol I played down at the Vancouver Exhibition grounds today where the PNE is. I was busking at an outdoor market. Its chilly in the morning (still snow on the ground here). I used to play hockey...

    When I see bass guitars with that many strings I can only think of Stanley Clark.

    cheers. I love Skynyrd and I have to admit I didn't recognize the song so I had to go looking. My drumming is getting better. I have to work hard. I guess if I recorded multiple takes and cut and pasted a performance together it would go faster but that's like programming drums... I just can't...

I will have finished stuff up very soon... I am taking an online seminar tomorrow morning on video production to try and...

    I did a rough recording of a new song yesterday. I got some video editing software and a new mastering program. I spent yesterday reading. Found out neither my camera nor phone supplied a useable format. Long story short, 3 different programs to convert, chop and build the video. I wanted to...

    you do need a webcam of some sort. I am using an old logitech about 15 yrs old lol. you need a way to go into the line in of the soundcard, or a usb connection. I picked up some 1/8" stereo and some 1/4 to 1/8" stereo leads to connect stuff to the soundcard.. sometimes you get lag. I just...

    I think a good soundcard is vital, or a usb connection... tonight I was working on a song and the playing and sound I heard was off. I have a zoom gr1 pedal that is usb and I can edit the amps and such on screen. with that it is bang on. rather frustrating at times... I still have to try the...

    I need bass and lead guitar on an original I have started up. I like bass lines that walk. It's bluesy number. Simple chord progression. Heck if there's a drummer on here too that wants to pitch in. I was looking at the pro version of bandhub. $80 a year and you can mix, pan, add fx and such...

    ya man, I am having a blast on bandhub... I did 2 drum tracks today, some rhythm and lead guitar (played both guitars), some bass, some backing vocals.... this was the first one I joined in. I recorded my acoustic guitar with just a webcam... then I figured how to plug my guitar pedal in with...

    I actually enjoy working on instruments. I gave up rc modelling so instrument fixing is filling that. I played my Yamaha bass for the first time last night. I did a recording on bandhub of a Clapton tune. Hey Dave, they need lead guitar. You should jump in. Clapton, Layla... it's right up your...

    you could cheat and deepen the string slots and remove a bit from the top (those slots look a bit too deep anyway). I made my own slotting tool with feeler guages. Just took a triangle file and cut teeth in all of them to make a saw of sorts... then just combine the gauges to the desired...
