Ya I got a chance to at lunch time today. No internet at home is starting to get old. :mad: Canned Heat rocks.

So what you gonna do in the AF man?

[MrBlues]

Right now, I'm leaning towards crypto-linguistics, aerial gunner apprentice, or flight mechanic. There might be a couple combat positions that seem interesting, but I'm not sure about them.

And Canned Heat does rock.

My last 5 years in the Army I was a crypto tech. Was quite interesting.

It sounds interesting.

I do want to be an officer (so I have to get my damned degree and take Officer Training School), but that's for later on down the line.

I got tickets for BB King and John Mayall in june. :D

Sunday Night: BB King and John Mayall

I wouldn't say I love them, but I do enjoy them. My brother bought my ticket for me, and they're gonna give it up soon I reckon. So I thought hell yeah, whilst I can! :)

Has anyone ever heard of Soulive. I was searching for a Lenny cover and came across them. They're like modern blues/jazz/funk. Tell me what you think.

I approve,

guitarist plays an es-335, drummer has an amazing fro

but seriously they are pretty good

[gopherthegreat]

I pretty much don't like blues or classic rock anymore besides a few Delta bluesmen and BB King (and a very select few classic rock artists). But I'm still gonna post in this thread because you guys are cool.

wats crypto-linguistics

wats crypto-linguistics

:shrug:

something tells me it has to do with Cryptography of some sort

edit-

a quick Wiki yielded this-


The study of characteristics of languages which have some application in cryptography (or cryptology), i.e. frequency data, letter combinations, universal patterns, etc. is called cryptolinguistics.

I've been a bit like that recently, not listening to much blues. But now I'm into Charley Patton because of his vocal style and the story telling in there. :) That's what always got me with delta blues, and is always why I go off blues for a couple of weeks and come back absolutely loving delta blues. :)

MONSTA EDIT:
This song is genius.

[GD_GC]

What are you guys into if not blues anymore? I love blues :sad:

[ze monsta]

Oh, I love blues! Don't get me wrong, but I go through phases, and different types of blues.
It's kinda been like this:

Jeff Beck and Joe Bonamassa, Indie bands, then Charley Patton, then Mos Def, Charley Patton again, Muddy Waters, The Libertines, Blind Willie Johnson, Saul Williams. :)

[strawforest007]

I'm similar with music, I give certain areas a rest without noticing that I do, usually artists or genres. It's great because the music becomes fresh again next time round. The blues sticks with me though. Constant.

damn right, same here, i though might sometimes listen to other bands like pink floyd or the beetles but never straying from the blues. theres just so many different types of blues you can get board of one type and then come back to it but in the mean time just listen to some different blues.

[Carswell98]

I'm kind've in the same boat as Gus, maybe to a lesser extent, I just go through phases, sometimes I'll go a week listening to Classical, or Shred, or a lot of classic rock, or The Tragically Hip :headbang: but more often than not it's just a big mix of it all, with the majority being blues

[JilaX^]

I'm into all types of music. (Except perhaps trance, and a lot of techno. Daft Punk is the only good techno artist/group I know of)

I only ever play the blues though.

I listen to a lot of different forms of music, but to me, as far as I'm concerned, it's blues in one way, shape or form.


Like I listen to a lot of Stoner metal/rock and sludge/doom metal. It's just a different facet of the same stone, really.

I need to get some Eastern folk music, though. That stuff is really interesting to listen to.

Well I'm sure it's not TRUE Eastern music, but some of that stuff that Derek Trucks does is actually really awesome.

[djrue211]

Since I'm running the Boston Marathon this year I've been recently putting together my Marathon Playlist on my iPod. I looked for the most "epic" film scores and classical pieces around and put them together. I've been in that kind of mood for the past week now and it's really remarkable to think how talented these composers are.

[imgooley]

^26.6 miles is 25.1 miles farther than I'd ever run for almost any reason.

I have all of Derek Truck's albums :)

That's how I got into that Eastern kinda folk music (that and I watch a lot of Kung Fu movies)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJxu0isbvPk

This **** is truly amazing.

[slidething31]

^ You ever seen Kung Fu Hustle? That movie is pretty cool. There are a couple guys who play something like that girl is playing. What is it called?

[imgooley]

Like I said I watch a lot of Kung Fu movies :p:

It's called a Guzheng. The Japanese version is called a Kotoh

[JilaX^]

Anyone see Rocknrolla?
Just saw it tonight, ****ing great movie.

[Carswell98]

^ I usually watch every new movie, but I haven't seen that one yet because I thought it looked like crap

I'll have to watch it I guess

Well, let me ask you this.

Do you enjoy Guy Ritchie movies?
If you do then there's a very good chance you'll love it.

[ze monsta]

I haven't seen the movie, but I've seen the soundtrack, which seemed suitably epic. :)

[TheDev01dOne]

Rock n Rolla is pretty good. It took ages to click that the singer guy "Johnny Quid" is the same actor that played the retarded brother in the movie 'Dead Man's Shoes'.. Seems like a really good actor.

[JilaX^]

Yeah, he's great.

Can't wait for the sequel.

[ze monsta]

Derek Trucks is playing in London in April...Need to find out if I'll have an exam the day after...

Cut In The Hill Gang are playing with The Tap Collective on Sunday, in London. Two of my favourite bands, but I probably won't be able to go, because it'll be over 18s... :cry: I'd kill to see a "Soledad showdown" :cry:

[michaelscofield]

Congrats dude, good luck. Is it your first performance of that kind? I still remember how insanely nervous I was on New Year's Eve for my first.

[ze monsta]

it's my first solo gig, yes. I was worrying a couple of days ago, but I've kinda got it under control.

Brae, my brother wanted me to play Neil Young, but I really don't like him! :haha

My set list includes: John Lee Hooker, Blind Willie McTell, Brendan Benson, Mr David Viner and Bob Dylan, and The Who. And more.

Neil was canadian, and could actually play guitar, on top of being a better songwriter

so :p:

I accept he was a good songwriter. I just don't like him. :)
I love Dylan's early stuff.

I was trying to get a rise out of you, but it failed spectacularily


actually Bob Dylan's first album is my favorite, and my little thingy under my user name is from that album

[ze monsta]

Yeah, except it's a Booker White song really. :p:

And you can't wind me up Brae. :haha You're too nice.

[Carswell98]

Yeah, except it's a Booker White song really. :p:

I know, but face it, Dylan's version is like staring into the face of god and having him say "you are my most wonderous creation"

fine, don't take my word for it

In 2003, Rolling Stone listed Young at #83 in its rankings of "The 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time," describing him as a "restless experimenter...who transform[s] the most obvious music into something revelatory."

[TNfootballfan62]

That looks pretty cool man. I like the design on it.

They put Kurt Cobain as number 12...

They put Kurt Cobain in front of EVH, in front of T-BONE WALKER

Even worse is that they put Keith Richards and Kirk Hammet as 10 & 11... :facepalm:

My gig went well. Uneventful, but well. Everything went as it should, but I don't enjoy playing on my own as much as I do with another person or with other people. Playing on your own forces you to focus on the music though, which I do enjoy if in the right frame of mind. :)

Playing on your own is cool, but I have to focus really hard on keeping the Rythm and Groove going, gief drummerz in other words :haha

[ze monsta]

Good to hear dude! Now go date some models.
That's for tomorrow! :p:

There were only like 35 or so folks there, and about 50 by the end. I doubt anyone taped me, and no one filmed it. It was real small. :) My favourite songs which I played were Folk Singer (Brendan Benson), Lord Send Me An Angel (Blind Willie McTell) and Crawlin' King Snake (John Lee Hooker). It was fun. :)

Goolz, I listened and commented! I really enjoyed that. I really want an electric for playing slide... :(

[ze monsta]

Wait, you don't have an electric for slide?
Nope. My electric has a brilliant action, that I don't want to fiddle with even the tiniest bit, so I can't play on that. Strictly acoustic for me, although I must say, I haven't played slide in a while. I've been getting back into Blind Willie McTell though - he has some brilliant lines:

"Give you a punch through that barbed wire fence,
Every time I hit you say I aint got no sense"

"Get me a brick outta my back yard,
Give you the devil if you get kinda hard"

"And If I catch you mama down in the heart of town,
Take me a brand new brick and tear your can on down"

"You may be deathbed sick mama graveyard bound,
I'm gonna make you moan like a graveyard hound"

"Might wiggle like a tadpole, let it jump like a frog,
Every time I hit you ya holler lawd lawd lawd"

And thats only from the one song! :p:

[JilaX^]

I just use my old busted up old Morgan Strat-copy, it's got ****ty action and won't hold tuning for shit, still so much fun playing Elmore James on it.

[necrosis1193]

Can I get advice on a few things?

1. What would be your thoughts on getting a Danelectro, tuning it to G and using it for slide/Keith Richards-style G-tuned stuff/occasionally tuning it to E for twang?
2. I'm looking to learn slide. Any tips?
3. Every time I sit down in a music store, because of my appearance and age people expect me to be one of those asshole shredder-wannabe beginners that crank Spider III's with an EMG-equipped guitar sharp enough to make you need a license to carry a lethal weapon to buy it, and as such are surprised when I sit down in front of a Fender amp with a strat or tele, push the preamp into a slight overdrive, EQ it just right, and play some British blues. Any way I can kill this stereotype, at least when people look at me in a shop?

[JilaX^]

Cut your hair you damn hippie!

That's the answer :haha

I get the same, tbh. I go into the store pick up a nice SG and just sit down in the corner noodling some major blues, everyone in the store is looking at me, expecting me to bust out ze br00talz.

[slidething31]

So I found my cure for the single on valentines day blues: cheap bourbon and Otis Redding.

Actually, that pretty much works for everything...

[ze monsta]

When I go in, I think they expect me to be an indie kid, and play Bloc Party or something. Instead I usually go straight for the acoustics, and play Blind Willie McTell and Lightnin' Hopkins. :haha I quite like their surprise sometimes and I especially like the looks from other customers. :p:


Drew, I seemingly had a brilliant day in comparison to you. :) And I'm going to continue having a brilliant holiday.

1. Sounds like a great idea, to me.
2. I'm a slide n00b myself, so I'm not much help.
3. Umm...stop looking like that? :haha I'd assume we are roughly the same age, and people don't generally look surprised when I sit down to play some blues. In reality, though, it really doesn't matter what they are expecting you to play, or if you surprise them at all.

[michaelscofield]

I don't think I look anything like a guitar player, let alone a blues fanatic, and I feel it works greatly to your advantage to blow people away who pidgeonhole you as whatever based on your appearance.

[ze monsta]

Definitely agree with you mate!

I dress in a mixture of indie kid and a "Sloane" (someone who hangs around Sloane Square, a posh part of london). So I love telling people I'm a delta and piedmont blues nerd, they're like "whats that?:confused:"

[imgooley]

I look like a construction worker, or a cholo.

People don't talk to me much because I have a severe disposition most of the time.

I'm also an ass, so that keeps the people away from me as well.

When I go into guitar stores, I just play some slide guitar :o

[ze monsta]

Cholo? What's that?

[JilaX^]

****, just had the gig of my life, so far atleast.

In this "Irish" pub, that's usually pretty full every saturday.
We were just the second opener band, and the main act is this country artist, who is doing an acoustic set.

We just packed the place entirely. The crowd was just loving us soo hard, people were coming in from the street. There was even this metal head playing airdrums and flashing the horns in the front row :haha

My fingers are pretty much just shreds by now, as I actually ripped through my calluses. (How I ever thought playing an SRV was a good idea, beats me.)

Oh well, still feels great. We actually played through 99% of our repertoire as the crowd kept calling for more.

:cheers:

[ze monsta]

Ah, brilliant! Nice one fella! :cheers:

[imgooley]

Cholo? What's that?
An ese.

My fingers are pretty much just shreds by now, as I actually ripped through my calluses. (How I ever thought playing an SRV was a good idea, beats me.)

Oh well, still feels great. We actually played through 99% of our repertoire as the crowd kept calling for more.

:cheers:

awesome i wish i had a band, are you guys a blues band i take it?

[JilaX^]

awesome i wish i had a band, are you guys a blues band i take it?

Yup. We're all pretty young as well, 3x 15 and 1x 17.
We play a mix up of all types of blues really, with roots mainly in the Delta Chicago and Texas styles. Add a drummer and bassist who've listened to a bit too much Zeppelin, and you have a good combination :haha

[barefootboy]

When I go in, I think they expect me to be an indie kid, and play Bloc Party or something. Instead I usually go straight for the acoustics, and play Blind Willie McTell and Lightnin' Hopkins. :haha I quite like their surprise sometimes and I especially like the looks from other customers. :p:

When I walk in they all look like "What the hell is that old guy doing here?". They're even more surprised when I know what they are playing (or trying to :) ).

[urik]

Cut your hair you damn hippie!

That's the answer :haha

I get the same, tbh. I go into the store pick up a nice SG and just sit down in the corner noodling some major blues, everyone in the store is looking at me, expecting me to bust out ze br00talz.
I wish I could have teh br00tal hair. When I walk in to a store people expect me to play Hava Nagila. That's right. I have jewfro :(.
Having a metalhead's hair has always been my dream...

You should get the curls.

What are they called? The curls that the hesetic (?) jews wear?

[Carswell98]

On the subject of looks...

I'm just a short chubby guy with shoulder length hair and recently, a beard, making me look like I've just come down from the mountain looking for supplies... :haha

I don't really have a default attitude, I find mine just sort of mirrors my company's
if you're a dick, I'm a dick, and so on

When I go into a guitar shop I've never been to, the workers there usually look at me like I should be wearing a bicycle helmet and screaming,

edit- (because I don't look like a guitar player, not because I look handicapped... :o )

I get so much flak and disrespect in those places it almost makes me hate playing music

it usually settles down once I start noodling, but not always :mad:



People don't talk to me much because I have a severe disposition most of the time.

As for Neil Young, I only have the Harvest album. I really should expand that part of the collection; it's a good album.
I has ticket stub. ;)
Live Neil>Studio Neil. Rust Never Sleeps is awesome. He has also recently released several live recordings from the early '7s that kick ass. Plus there is almost as much bootleg live Neil out there as there is from the Greatful Dead. He encouraged it.

I have to say the Massey Hall album is my favorite of any of his :liplick:

Live Neil is definitely better than studio Neil

well, not exactly a blues song, but for those of you that love the dobro, i wrote an appalachian folk/bluegrass song and i use a lot of dobro in it. i hadnt played any dobro or even slide stuff in almost a year, so im pretty sloppy. the song is on my profile though if anyone wants to hear it.
its called "letting go."

[Carswell98]

does anyone here listen to Guthrie Govan at all?


I just got "Erotic Cakes" and I'd say it's easily one of my favorite shred albums of all time, almost as good as Ah Via Musicom

I had to walk to the store on sunday in the rain.

35 trailers are stuck in the mountains due to snow.

This week is gonna suck.

It's been really cold, then it's been mild for the last few days (which has been brilliant), and now it's raining. I was planning to go and play (real) football in the park with a mate coz he's gotta take his 7 year old twin brothers out for the day :haha They are a nightmare. But if it's wet I can't really be bothered to get muddy...

Sucks for you Goolz, whats the weather like normally?

I don't understand how some people like the rain. When it's sunny I just feel so much better about the day ya know?

Damn I can't believe it, some days ago a rock band asked me to join in. Turns out that I still never practiced with them, and yesterday the frontman tells me that in 10 days we have a gig :eek:. We have a playlist of 9 songs, and it's going to be in some kind of festival :eek:!
Not only that, but that's going to be my first gig...

I'm already ****ting myself... Luckily, most of these songs are pretty much standard rock-blues songs so they're not very hard to remember.

on a 100% unrelated note, I just got a new cd, and I only got it because he was on this Canadian radio show I always listen to, and the host was ****ting bricks about how good it was, and I was skeptical, because well, usually when people make records that are supposed to sound old they are terrible


but, has anyone heard of this guy, Raphael Saadiq?

I don't know whether I like him or not :/

hey i was wondering if you guys could help me out...

i have to learn a song for music performance that is part of our major assessment, we have to pick a technique and display it through that song, so i was thinking id do slide guitar as a technique and then play an old delta song, but...i cant find one because i need to show a farily high level of playing ability and im defiantly not downing the old delta guys but most of the stuff is kinda basic, as far as what my teacher is expecting, and repeats pretty often (if you know what i mean). so i was wondering if you guys can point me in the direction of a song that is of an advance level and with a slide i would be forever grateful, it doesn't have to be delta just any blues will suffice! especially goolz cos i know he is a slide guitar bluesman.

4 words:

Derek Trucks, good luck.

[imgooley]

Six words:

Warren Haynes, Derek Trucks, good luck.
Fixed.

Also, Ry Cooder.

What I suggest you do is play a jazz song on slide. Something like a ballad. Maybe Blue in Green, or Naima, or Round Midnight (that'd be very difficult, though).

Or you could take another approach and do a gospel song like "Morning Train".

For real, man.

I seriously can not get enough of this music, man. Every time I think I've heard it all, and I know the blues, I hear something new. Nothing in this world is better than hearing something you haven't heard before that gets your heart racing, or your foot tapping, or your head knodding, or your eyes crying. Nothing on this earth is better. And that is what the blues is.

The thing I love most is how it transcends the music itself.

IDK, when I was a kid, I would listen to the radio in the morning before school. I was living in Southern California, and the oldies station was 99.9 fm. Every day, I woke up and got ready for school with Steppenwolf, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Little Richard, Chuck Berry, Bo Diddly, James Brown, Curtis Mayfield and the Impressions, The Four Tops, and all that Motown stuff.

Then I started listening to Soul, like Earth Wind and Fire, The Commodores, etc.

And now, I realize that it's all really the same thing, deep down. Those blues roots run deep.

[Carswell98]

Man I Dl'ed a JB Lenoir album today, and he is ****ing fantastic

I'd say he is easy one of my favorite blues singers now

diggin' it, diggin' it, diggin' it, and then bam! at 1:04 he opens his mouth and I go flaccid

[ze monsta]

I don't like his voice either. It just sounds a bit silly. :p:

[imgooley]

I'll upload the other stuff later for you, gus.

[ze monsta]

:cheers:

The music is good, but like Braedon, when he opens his mouth it's a bit of a bummer. :p:

Completely unrelated but I love this song. I hadn't heard it in ages, but I just thought - I gotta listen to that again, it's genius.

I do from time to time

I do have the advantage of being in the weed capital of the world too :p:

[ze monsta]

I would more often, but I'm broke. Ya know, I almost bought that Lovepedal...I almost had enough money...but then I got a life and started going out more often :p:
But now I'm broke and can't afford to go anywhere. :sad:

MONSTA EDIT:
I started the holidays with like, £120 ($240???) and now I have £12.79. Still...I've had a very, very good time. :haha

My friend owes me some money though coz I spent loads on spliff, and he has to pay me back. :o

the air runs thick with it here :p:


weed is a rare indulgence, and I do enjoy it



I'm usually a drinker


Rye is king

Gin a close second


Rye is second only to Scotch in the whiskey hierarchy

I've not had a good rye. Most of what I drink is teh corn liquor, or the scotch.

God, I love me some good Kentucky Straight.

And Humbolt has more weed than BC :stickpoke

California=legal weed. Kinda.

[barefootboy]

Cool stuff, since we're throwing up some off beat stuff I'll add a couple.

Tom Waits
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ZoePxnewZM

One of my favorite songs of his.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-gwUtEEjZJ8

John Hammond Jr.
This combines Waits and Hammond, Waits wrote it and Hammond sang it.

Hope you guys enjoy them.

Rye is basically all we get up here, Canadian Club, Crown Royal and Wisers are our biggest brands of whiskey and they're all canadian made ryes

we also get some american whiskey up here, but not much

I hate J.D. with a fiery unrelenting passion, and that is one of the few american whiskeys we get up here

and I think the only bourbon I've ever had was Wild Turkey, which I can't even remember what I thought of it it's been so long since I had it last

I've never had a high quality scotch, just a couple of the cheaper brands

one of my new year's resolutions for the year is to buy a bottle of Glenfiddich 20 year old single malt, and cherish every last drop :liplick:

if you ever get a a hold of a bottle, Wisers white label is a great rye for the price :liplick:

Canada has quite lax drug policies, nothing like most of the states

[ze monsta]

I've lived off JD, chewing gum, red bull and hash pretty much all week. :haha
My friend was really trampy and stole like 4 bottles of JD from a party, so it's been that and Bell's whiskey for me. :p:

[Carswell98]

gus, you need to march up to scotland and grab me a bottle of Glenfiddich 1937



I'd love you forever :p:

[ze monsta]

"march up to Scotland" As you do from London :haha :haha :haha

A mate of mine has been in Scotland actually. I'd call him, but my phone broke. :p:

hellz yeah, london is what, 3, maybe 4 km from scotland right? :o

even if you did, he'd probably be killed trying to steal a bottle of scotch worth 16.5 thousand GBP :haha

Wild Turkey 101 will put hair on your nuts :cheers:

I love that stuff :liplick:

Bourbon FTW.

And I wants that single malt :o

I could go for a bottle of Maccallum 18

101 as in 101 proof?

yeah that'd do it, thats what, about 50% by vol.?

many alcohols sold in the US as high proof get lowered for Canada, most all hard liquor is 40% or lower, with the exception of absinthe (crappy fake stuff :mad: ) and bacardi 151, which will put hair on your nuts, and then scorch it off again :p:


although I have had everclear, which was AWFUL

crazy alaskan bastards, that isn't even liquor, it's race car fuel

Lol.

Yeah, 101 proof. 50.5% by vol. Good stuff. I like it with water, though, to take that bite off. In a tall glass :o

a guy I worked with at my last job loved Rye and water

I gotta say I wasn't a fan

whiskey has gotta be with pepsi or on the rocks for me, I can't do the water thing :p:

though with 101 proof i can see where you are coming from

On the rocks is the best way for it.

I hate mixing it with cola, though, totally kills the flavor.

For regular drinking, though, Black Label is my favorite.

rye and coke is my party drink


if I start drinking Crown on the rocks at a party I'm blitzed in an hour and then I'm no good to anyone :haha


on the rocks it's my chill out at the end of the day drink

edit

actually case and point, not to long ago I was at one of my friends parents house, and her dad loves the sauce, so he and I just sat down and polished off a bottle and a half of Gibsons sterling with Ice

2 hours after we started I was incomprehensible and totally ****ed, and so was he :(

[imgooley]

That's why I drink beer at parties, or Rum and Coke.

Rum and Coke and Gin and Juice are the only two mixed drinks I'll hit.

I didn't even know you liked gin

any particular brands you enjoy?

[imgooley]

Bombay and Tanqueray. (sp?)

[Carswell98]

Bombay and Tanqueray. (sp?)

2 of the 3 brands currently residing above my fridge :p:


I love my gin :liplick:

[imgooley]

Gin is a real drunk's drink :p: :cheers:

[Carswell98]

Gin is a real drunk's drink :p: :cheers:

'tis true :(

whats even worse is not only are there 3 different types of gin above my fridge, but there is also 2 bottles of tanqueray, a bottle of CC, a bottle of Wisers, 2 bottles of amaretto, a bottle of vermouth, apple rum, pear vodka, some kahlua, and an unlabeled bottle of red wine of origins unknown to me


i don't even know where I got some of it, because I sure as hell wouldn't buy vodka, much less PEAR vodka, or apple rum



the good thing is I'm a slow drinker, so that stockpile will last me a good while :p:

[GD_GC]

Yay for not drinking! I don't really know, I've just never really gotten into it, I'm not trying to stay clean or anything, it just hasn't appealed to me. I'm sure that's bound to change soon enough though :)

[slidething31]

Gin is tolerable to me, but I've never been a big fan of either light or dark rum. My drink of choice would have to be bourbon.

Although if you're just looking to ge ****ty fast, I would suggest 4 shots of everclear mixed into a 20 oz. gatorade bottle, and filled with gatorade, and maybe some red bull if thats your thing.

[ze monsta]

Spirits and energy drinks = :facepalm:

I've found that out pretty much everyday of this week. :p:

On the topic of bourbon. :o

[RubberSoul54321]

For Irish Whiskey, I can't recommend Jameson's enough. And Glenlivet 15 yo is some of the smoothest single malt Scotch I've ever had. I've got just a little bit left and I'm saving it for a special occasion. Oh, and it should be drunk straight, no ice. Ice kills the taste of a good malt.
