    I really enjoyed that one bass, he is a very good player and also a good entertainer. (which isn't always the case) I agree with Dave, nothing wrong with a little showing off your skills. We've got some really talented players here.

    Yes, he has been wonderfully patient with me and my endless questions. I didn't realize until he said something to me that the major scale "shape" is movable. In other words once I learn my G major scale and I am able to use it and move around between the different postions of the G major...

    Interesting bsssnut, because as I started to read what you wrote I thought hey they haven't been to Chicago. Blues is alive and well here, but yes at the "blues clubs" for the over 21 crowd. Even then the few times I can get out to a blues place in the city it's all really over 30 listening to...

    Third shift? 10pm to 6am... wait what?

    My hubby has worked odd hours. It's is a whole different culture of people who work night shift hours, but you'll find they are all there. Remember that a lot of fast food places and resturants are not open 24 hours so make sure to find out which ones are open. When you get home you...

    Vapian I'm the musical noob in the group, but so as far as theory goes, I'm just starting to dig in and I'm realizing theory does not teach you "how", I'm not sure but maybe it might show you "why" after the fact, but I'm starting to think the only real rule is it should sound good. But if you...

    Daughter...

    AGH, I'm so sorry. Seems fishy that this dealership sold her a car with an engine that doesn't hold oil. Just saying, glad a man is going with her, it really can make a difference.

    Hurricane Irene! Ladies please keep us updated

    LOL, that's what I was thinking too, my kids would break me. I give real credit to parents that are homeschooling, because I look forward to those few hours a day when I can do some things for just me. You know when they say a few days it ends up being longer than that. Glad she was able...

    Take it back and talk to them, it might be something simple like a dead battery. Not even 24 hours isn't right, raise cain.

    Poor rain, is she ok on batteries for her e cigs? A week without power, good googly moogly, I think that would end any sanity I have left.

    I've been a little busy with back to school stuff. but I wanted to tell my east coast friends to stay safe. Earthquake, hurricane, seems like next will be locusts. But, please be safe.

    Thanks Dave for your response, I did realize it's a nice little trick but you're right, it's easier for me to find the 145 major chords in a key by looking at my fret board. Cool for looking at sheet music and knowing exactly what key I'm in right away, but that's probably it. (how often will...

    Can I ask what do you guys think about the circle of 5ths (or 4ths depending on how you look at it) In a search for more music theory I found a site for bass players that teaches theory, and found that cool little circle. (yes I know I play guitar, but theory is still the same) It seems to...

    any musicians?

    Would you believe I still have some tapes. If I can find an old mix tape I'll let you know, I think the only ones I have left is a Bruce Springsteen collection of live concerts. Kind of want to keep that. Edited to add this video. Personally I prefer quality over quantity, but whatever.
