Mmmm...sexy... :D

You could try the library at the university closest to you for good books on these kinds of topics if your town library is a bit on the sad side. I know my uni had a bloody wonderful music section. They taught drama too so the place was rampant with performance type books also. Milk it for all...

Typing with prosthetic fingers Hee hee you guys are cool. I love the diversity in here. What took me so long you ask? Well, I've always been interested but my music teacher in highschool made very sure I felt like I was stupid and incapable of doing anything musical. I steered more towards...

Sometimes I find it a bit daunting around here - most people seem to have been involved with the whole music shindig for years. I'm 27 and only started trying to do this about 3 months ago. Are there ANY newbies out there who haven't played guitar since the dinosaurs? Having said this, I do...

I think I read this thread a little while ago and just noticed it again today...I'm certainly no music guru but I really liked the simplicity of the lyrics. Its a really sweet song (it made me sad and I don't even know you! lol). Nice song Buck, good luck with your next stuff. :)

I'm working on my timing too and I find that its a kazillion times easier if I have drums to play to. I also have the songs I'm learning right now on CD so I can play them and practice with the song if I feel that way inclined. Its all really just a matter of training yourself I think, cause I'm...

I think that being artistically expressive is inherent, and I find it hard to figure out how 'the others' (those who aren't outwardly artistic) are happy not doing anything creative. Most of my friends are either musicians, artists or actors, and we were talking one day about how cranky and...

I think it varies from country to country, but I have been told the same thing Kevin. In either case, I think mailing it to yourself is a good idea cause in the off-chance someone rips off your ideas, you do have some proof for your lawyer. I know Australia has an organisation which provides...

I agree with those guys...some of the most popular songs ever written look totally ridiculous when you rip the music away and just leave the lyrics. You've got to start somewhere. Being a famous musician does not mean they are immune from writing crap (and for the record, I liked the lyrics...

If you had the patience you could always hang out at some karaoke bars on a Saturday night and see whats around... But what the hell would I know :D

carpal tunnel is the work of the devil argh...carpal tunnel is evil. I seriously don't think I get to play often enough for it to be nerve damage as of yet though. It just kinda gets numb in the fleshy pad part of it from being mushed and dragged along the strings. I'm just starting out so...

Yay! Another non-believer...maybe we should start a cult.

Music to kill yourself by... That guy from the band that sings 'Horse with no name'...his voice grates on my nerves....arghhhh...just thinking about it makes me want to rip my ears off...

Yeah its the standing I get sore with. I've tried sitting and practising but I feel like the bass I've been using is kinda big and I can see what I'm doing better if I'm standing. I'm sure my muscles will get used to it eventually but I find it a real bastardy thing right now cause it stops me...

I found a bird under a wattletree and tried to nurse it back to health. It died when my Dad fed it his bad instant coffee...I think either the bird preferred a more expensive type of coffee, or it was terminal anyway. The bird's name was Herbie. There have been no songs written about him at...

Heh Help ME reach 1k...only 963 posts to go!!!...comeon...ask me something (so long as its not about music...I don't know anything about that).

I'm glad some of you people admitted to fretting with your thumb...my fretting ability has progressed in spite of my stumpy fingers but I'm relieved to hear that I am not a big weirdo for playing like this. I need someone to yell at me about my playing posture cause I wind up with a sore back...

It's all about aesthetics silly! Don't tell me you've never asked "Does my fender make my ass look big?" (maybe it was something they added initially thinking it would do some kinda thing sound wise and it just didn't work out that way?)

'The Guitar Handbook' (yes yes, mock the book if you will) says that the silver thingy is rarely seen on working guitars as most players find that it hinders their technique and beer drinking ability. I think you'd be fine if you just had another beer. (source: The Guitar Handbook, p.56, Ralph...

There is no silver thingy...have another beer...
