Using reverb on a bass when recording is fine it depends on the sound your looking for,a lot of early Beatles and some later songs use reverb I think it all comes down to the key your playing in and if you want a brighter sound on the bass the reverb accents the mid range of the bass

Thanks top and Doug for the helpfull tips I did get a hold of the guy who built my vista and he's comming over to pick it up and fix it and it wont cost an arm and a leg

Krapyl yes its a vista never had a problem but it has been acting up lately it was freezzing and I had to restart it because it woulden't budge gota make a few calls to some knowledgable people and i might get some answers hopefully

Tuba they make a jr size electric and you can set the hight of the strings so it will be easier to press the strings down and the neck is much shorter so he shouldn't have any trouble reaching the first fret

that would fall under police brutality

it took me awhile but like southpaw says years and years of tendon stretching to play a 5 fret Fmaj 7 1st fret top note is A

Roger were you on a hiatus or vacation or are they working to hard at the job your fingers are to numb to tap the keyboard let alone play guitar where ya been?

One of my students is 9 his name is Lucas his father and I have known each other for over 15 years he asked me to teach his son and he has been my student for about 6 months he loves rock and roll and when I show him some cool bar chords (with effects) he really works hard at home and at his lessons but I wanted to give him a rounded education so I started teaching him to read notes and I can tell you he hates it, his last lesson I had him read a simple lesson he looked disinterested and tried to memorize it I kept telling him to look at the music sheet and he would glance at it and go back to trying to play it without looking, after his lesson I got a call from his father it seems young Lucas cried on the way home and would not tell his father why he was crying so I got a call from his father and told him the best way is to keep teaching him  what he likes and sneak in some theory when I can and if that's the only way he's going be happy and look forward to his lesson then that's the way it will be, he is a good player for the time he has been taking lesson I video taped his lessons for his family and they were really happy, he plays a fender strat and can play the evil B like nothing and bar F and G chords clean so he must be learning something, the hard part is keeping a young persons attention so do whatever it takes eventually they will learn

Puff the magic dragon has always been a favorite with children the world over and there are other songs that sing of hope and joy these are the kind of things kids like

Ark I cant speak for Phill but thanks for your comments this song was a pleasure to work with and im looking forward to some more collaboration amoung members lots of talent on Chordie yourself included and this year should produce some fine songs from all here

well old man winter put a damper on my session the temps will be around -25 below zero with a wind chill over -45 so I am rescheduling keep you posted  

sometimes you can use modes if the song is in G major I use the E minor scale the same holds true for all keys the 6th interval of any key is its relative minor so in the G scale the notes
G A B C D [E] F# G could be numbered as 1 2 3  5 6 7 8 and thats how you find the relative.
1 3 3 4 5  (6)  7   8 
                 ^
                 ^ is the relative minor in G (E) you can also do that with C  C D E F G (A) B C
                                                                                                       1  2 3 4 5 (6) 7  8
                                                                                                                      ^
                                                                                                                      ^ 
                                                                                                                relative minor
keep in mind that there are sharps and flats and you must know which notes are sharp or flat and the only way to do that is with basic theory Jerome can help you with that better then I so good luck with it
