Hendrix

I'll bring mine, but I swear if no one else wears any I'll be pissed off.

Are people actually going to come in big glasses?

I'm not near a Primark til Sunday (aka. Regent street [i think?]). Go to a charity shop, old ladies love 'em.

I can ride in mine. Cuu'mon.

It's all about HUGE blue 98p Primark sunglasses.

Anyone around 9am? Been advised to get the 7am.

Half a mile of that hill, and that's the 'non steep part'.

Pants, I've found a hill you may not be able to cycle up. Pics when I can be arsed to cycle down it.

Play it, break it, send it back within 28 days.

Unfortunately Portsmouth lacks lots of Music Shops in close vicinity of each other. Lacks decent ones anyway.. Buy online!!...

Andertons or Nevada Only decent ones about in my opinion. Andertons is the better one, but it's Guildford way. Great shop though, loads of online stuff.

Anything that I look at, and think, s**t me, that's my favourite thing to play. Something that pushes me to be that much better. Be it Jazz, Rock, Pup, Punk, Funk Blues - what ever.

Buying my ticket tomorrow, will be in Waterloo for 10am Sunday. YP Railcard for the win. £18 return ish!

Cool video man. Got some skills going on!

+1 Amazing tires. Loads of grip, and you can get some decent speed out of them.

Stag?

Touché. Back on topic though.. anyone bought any new equipment?

The other other one?

WHICH ONE?!

Just, as I said, remember the 'god like' session musicians like James Jamerson. He brought himself to the music he did (which was usually motown), and people hired him because of it. He could also rinse Giant Steps at 50bpm higher than anyway else (so I've been told?)

Ahh, that's fair enough man. You're going down the Originals route, which at the moment is something that's taking off more than before, thanks to online distribution etc etc.

A name would be helpful. Maybe not teaching Jazz theory, but you surely must have been taught basic theory? Resolutions, modes etc? Why? You'd rather work at an insurance company and earn how ever much, than for instance, be second guitarist to Eric Clapton, and earn £50k a month?

It gives anyone the right. The Arctic Monkey's guitarist doesn't know theoretical stuff at all, what he does know is when and where to play power chords. Now, he's made (how ever much) money off of doing this, so I'd class him as lucky to not have to learn as much as some people have had to. He won't ever make any money as a professional musician (as in session/session touring/session studio) unless he learns a load more chords, learns to read etc. Now, he could very well be sitting on a money hill, and know he never has to work again, in which case, well done to him for being in a band that people liked. Maybe it's more a case of saying, there's talent, then there's professional talent which is in leagues above normal talent. By the way man, vitalize your chart & score reading, there are LOADS of studio gigs in London at the moment. You only need one to get you on the road to success.
