Tip of the Week??

[martin shane]

practice tip; My high school band teacher always told me
"practice doesn't make perfect, perfect practice makes good"

oh and Adouglas, when I mess up on stage, I give the closed musician standing to the stink eye...lol...makes everyone think he messed it up ...

I think it's a great idea. Just like the toothpick-with-Elmer's-in-the-hole-when-the-strap-screw-doesn't-fit-well trick that I learned here.

I Can't Believe It!!!
Yesterday my LP's strap screw stripped and not an hour later I read your post. Today I tried it and it worked great! Cool how things work sometime! This must be a much needed thread.

Looks like this will be our Tip Thread, so I've cleaned it up and ask that you guys don't clutter it up too much with OT stuff.

Here's my tip: Take every gig.

I've played in jazz, rock, and metal bands. I would play bass for anybody in any style. When I started out, I was selective and it was a mistake. Playing music you aren't familiar with (or even a style you don't like!) forces you to re-think your approach in ways you couldn't if you were in your comfort zone. I learned as much playing simple, repetitive lines for a blues/rocker as I did taking the lead in my own band.

the guitar cables with the red neutrik plug which has a mute switch that engages when you remove the cable ACTUALLY work!
just a tiny lil click when you unplug, unlike the usual rumble if your sound guy hasnt muted your strip

Practice with a metronome once in a while.

It always kicks my @ss and reminds me my time can get better!
