Barry Simmons replied to TripDave's discussion 'Why Did You Start Playing Bass?'
I suppose I was destined to play bass. My granddad was a double bass player, as well as a pianist, drummer, conductor and instrument repairer. My dad played double and electric bass, my elder brother played bass. What else could i do! Bass guitars w…

Matt Russell replied to TripDave's discussion 'Why Did You Start Playing Bass?'
I started playing quite late, although I was taught classical guitar by a grumpy old greek when I was 10 (I learned NOTHING!!) and there was always an old acoustic laying around at Mum & Dads (the family story goes that Uncle John won it in a card g…

Trip, I'm with you...I like the digital sound and if wasn't for aggressive, young creative minds we'd still be at the mercy of shit producers and lazy engineers. Taking control of my own sound has been a liberating and stimulating experience...isol…

Then and Now
I know we were admonished to not concern ourselves with how it was then and how it is now, but sometimes we need to go back to "then" to appreciate "now" NOW: A few days ago, you young fellow sent me an mp3 of his music he was working on and asked f…

TripDave replied to Toby Burton's discussion 'Pop-Til-You-Drop'
Perhaps there is a God....with a plan I have a pretty good suspicion had I found huge fame and enormous fortune early in my career, not that I have it now mind you, but I would be certainly dead by now from excess. Not to mention with all that money…

Trip, Funny, full of insight and educational. It is with great respect that I would add to your analysis that most of what can be done with a guitar, has been done, however, songwriting is still by and large a guitar media. Composing with a keyboar…

Theory on the extinction of dinosaur: Leadus Guitaradon
So, what did cause the fading away of the lead guitarist? Evolution, my dear Watson, just as it saw the fading away of the great clarinetist, trombonist from days of old. The Lead Guitarist was common place all the way back to the early Beatles and…

Trip, Good story about the kid. Sort of makes you wonder about the years of misery and joy ahead for a kid with talent when he finds out how many really amazing guitarists are out there who can cover, note for note, but ask them to compose and oooo…

TripDave replied to TripDave's discussion 'Long Songs and the Short Fuse'
OK, so I expressed disdain at overly played, long songs and how I really liked them the first 10,000 times I heard them. But, over time have grown to hate them. Funny thing is I am apparently not alone in my complaint. For years, our local music st…

Ming The Mong replied to TripDave's discussion 'Best Guitarist vs Guitar Hero'
Watching the headline act at the Dublin Castle last Weds (3/6) and someone turned to me and said "He's a useful guitarist this bloke isn't he" Really, I replied, in what way? can he fill in holes in the road, make exceptional cups of tea when others…

Dave, Having a similar experience a la guitar hero and my son. As he has been around music and professional musicians all his life he knows how much work and practice the life entails and thus he's very reticent to engage and his mother is not real…

Best Guitarist vs Guitar Hero
Noteworthy is the fact that most everyone's "best guitarist" picks, in general, are from the 1960's thru 1980's. Yes, a good portion of these guitarists are still performing but the age of great bands having a great lead guitarists has passed like t…

TripDave replied to Gray Dourman's discussion 'Are four notes enough?'
Sure 4 chords or even 6 are enough. Pink Floyd can play for an hour and only cycle through the chords twice at most.

Claire - Easy/Medium/Hard replied to TripDave's discussion 'Gig Anecdotes and Horror Stories'
I don't have any gig horror stories particularly, besides just generally being lame and unable to play our set! However I have played with a real DIPLOMAT who excelled at saying things that make me double take and go, "did he ACTUALLY JUST SAY THAT…
