Once you become more interested in hearing "I really like your band" than "I really like your playing," your playing will improve, and you will be asked to do more of it. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – >Hi everyone, >Thought it would be cool to start a thread where everyone jumps in and >shares one of their trade secrets.

Okay, how ’bout what the gypsys supposedly taught Yul Bryner back in the early days, "Lead with your cock and sing as loud as you can"? Sure worked back in my single days. I think it’s different for the female performers though. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – > Rocky Horror, "Sweet Transvestite".

Hi everyone, Thought it would be cool to start a thread where everyone jumps in and shares one of their trade secrets. Can be anything from playing techniques, equipment settings or choices, whatever you’ve got would be great. Here’s one of mine: I love playing a major pentatonic scale a fourth down (a fifth up) on a major chord. So on a tune like Jaco’s Havona – Emaj7(#11), Cmaj7, Bmaj7, Gmaj7 I might play: B major pent, G major pent, F# major pent, D major pent. Tell me one of yours.

My secrets are my own! *evil grin* ) I like to play a tune that makes a person anticipate a continuance, that i give for the first few times. And than I like to play with those two. Lets say the first tune is A and the logical answer to it (continuance) is B. the underline ( _ ) is silence. I could play for instance A B A B A B A _ A _ _ B (or eaven a variation of B) I hope I made clear to you all what I was trying to say. But that’s just a way of creating that funky feeling I like in songs. I guess all of you know about thease little tricks. So there’s no seacret about that. I’ts too late and I’m too dum to write anything creative. Maybe I’ll remember something usefull tomorrow morning. I can tell you about my problems in making my own music. I often think of a nice little tune, and tham I try to mke it great. This wouldn’ bee a problem if I wouldn’t destroy the whole tune each time I do that. So instead of a nice tune, I end up with a whole lot of that in witch you don’t like steping into. sorry about my English. — _|_/ _|_/ ___/ ( o o) ja sam ko grunge i metal O) usran i zao
