Csus4 chord - TLW Guitarists

[Warwick Hunt]

Bass IS easier hence why most bassists are usually as thick as two short planks

 

Which is often reflected in the quality/brain power of the birds they attract

Bit harsh, you've never even met Mrs The Beast.

 

I would. And Cliff The Beast is very intelligent, so that ruins your theory.

 

I also know four other bass players who ate highly intelligent too, with very attractive ladies.

 

And to add, Les Claypool pisses all over a whole load of guitarist.

Without reading the rest of the thread just play an add9.

See that's what sets you up as sexy Stouf.

 

You don't have to read a thread, you just know.

I said most, not all.

 

Craig knows me anyway

Do I?

 

I played bass pretty much cos i couldn't be arsed furthering my guitar playing skills. The stuff I'm playing on bass now pretty much ruined my early ideas of bass. I've had to basically relearn how to play

I should think so, we conquered the world with Manklub

Fuck off! Manklub. Blast from the past that!

[Skidfingers McGonical]

 

Fuck off! Manklub. Blast from the past that!

 

Do you know him then? Is he that German kid who buried his father who didn't know who he was, but has suddenly remembered who he is by visiting this thread?

 

Is he your father?

 

And what the fuck is Manklub?

[Cliff T. Beast]

ManKlub is a joke Boyband we set up on gigwise. Warwick is Mark (I think). We had a Myspace page and everything. Nowhere near as good as Pork Trousers though lad!

[Redder Lurtz]

This you, Warwick?

 

[Cliff T. Beast]

Thats me and Skidfingers jamming some Pork Trousers ideas

Boss shirts them.

[Chinandeler Bong]

You doing your degree in Uni or part time. Really would like to get into sound teching.

 

Uni mate, Cardiff's The Atrium, just about to start Final Year.

 

Its not all its cracked up to be if im honest though.

[Chinandeler Bong]

Cheers CB. Can you recommend a cheap starter mic?

 

Depends what you want it for mate ?

Vocals / Acoustic Guitar etc .

[Chinandeler Bong]

Let me know which mic you get Lurtzy. I would like to record some playing and singing. I'll probably do it on two tracks though, so I can make any tweaks to either sound. So I'll use my lecky guitar for the guitar track - even if it is an acoustic song.

 

is that the right approach Chinandeler?

 

There's no right or wrong really mate but id recommend using different Channel's for each instrument/input. Like you say for easier editing.

If you had two mics, you can Mic up the strings on the guitar, electric even, and use another for vox and also have a direct line input to yer Audio Interface.

So 3 Inputs/Channels in total. Dyou get me ?

I do that sometimes and its nice.

 

You may have issues with overspill from the guitar into the vocal mic channel but if its a Dynamic Mic, as opposed to Condenser , you'd be better equipped.

Dynamic mics only pick up signals Directly in front of them, where as Condenser Mics are far more sensitive.

[Chinandeler Bong]

Wow - where to start with that lot? A vocal mic or an instrument one?

 

Get both if you can, some mics can do both jobs as well, like the SM57 for example. They are quality for Vox and quality for Electric Guitar Miking at the Amp.

There are thousands of mics out there mate.

Id get a decent Condenser for Stringed Instruments such as Acoustic Guitar and for Vox, and Id get an SM57 also. Yer looking at about £50 for a cheap condenser, and about £90 for SM57.

 

Try Red5Audio, they do some good gear, not world beaters yet, but Ive had a condenser from there for 5 years, use it quite a bit and its still top notch, cost me £49, inc case.

 

You'd also need Mic stands as well. And leads, XLR leads.

 

And for Condenser Mic's you need Phantom Power, usually supplied by the Mixing Board/Audio Interface.

Can be pricey this shit.

Add 9 is not correct, that would be a D at least an octave above the root -

open C, first finger adding the high F - first fret first string is right

[migs]

I bought a Fostex 8 Track hard drive recorder off eBay, which makes the whole thing both portable and as easy as plug in, pick up and play.

 

Oh, and learning to play guitar is probably the best thing I ever did. I'd recommend it to absolutely everybody.
