TF I'm going to try a heavier string maybe even a thin bass string I have an ES 335 copy here which sounds nice and dirty for this sort of thing , on the recording I'm using a yamaha pacifica 112

Re: Forming A Band In Carrollton, GA. (9 replies, posted in My local band and me)
The thing about band members is when you find your ideal you can just jump in and play like it was yesterday , Having just got back playing with John Prince who I last played with some years back its like picking up where we left off. Same applies to my Greek band pals we have a break for 6 or 8 months then just play like we've been rehearsing for weeks straight off. Magic.

Re: The Refugee (8 replies, posted in Songwriting)
A desperate situation ,I wrote a song last year on this subject when I was in Greece ,I feel for these people but I dont think the answer is migration ,certainly it causes bad feelings and resentment in the country they come to .I dont know the answer ,but songs like this serve to make the world stop and think .Well done beestie .

I sometimes write bits down as they come up or just record a riff or progression on my lap top then come back to it when the next bit pops into my head but mostly I do the whole thing straight off usualy at stupid o clock in the morning

I know weve probably done this subject to death ove the past year but I really dont feel to bad about it today as I watch a vid of the who at glastonbury this year only roger daltry hasnt got either an i pad or a stand ,so in my mind now its ok to have the memory of a goldfish,like me.

Topic: First rehearsal new band (2 replies, posted in My local band and me)
Had the first session with my new trio yesterday and it went very well , we hired a room at Aquarius studios in Colne ,they were great and very helpful providing every thing we needed to just plug and play .We did a three hour session and tore though the set new songs old songs some of my original stuff and to be honest it was mostly good enough to have played to an audience, the guys who run the place commented that they couldn't believe we hadn't played together before ,I was quite over whelmed by the comments, but not as over whelmed as John the bass player when he remembered he'd not switched the recorder on ,so you'll have to take my word for now that it was good ,ah well next time ,must be an age thing !!!!!

Re: Band Formation (37 replies, posted in My local band and me)
Phill if you remember last year I mentioned the idea of a uk chordie fest , why not have a rethink about the idea then Bruce can get the opportunity to play in a band situation albeit for one day .I'm currently putting a UK band together and Im sure the guys would be happy to take part all though they are not chordie members .I'm hoping to be able to host a regular open mic session at the Victoria Hall at Settle with my lot as the "house band ".We had agreed on a monthly event on a friday or saturday before my illness . Having spoken to the manageress a couple of weeks ago it is still on the cards when I am deemed fit enough by the hospital .This would be an opportunity for people to play in a real theatre with a proper sound system.
