    Well, at least he picks up a guitar and can do something with it.

    One day, if he joins a band or decides to write his own stuff then what he has picked up may come in handy.

    Until that time, it is scales and arpeggios...

    Yep better then nothing. I was shocked I still remembered the key fingerings and got an okay tone out on the trumpet in the lower notes 🎶 after all these years.

    Now that I'm retired I can forget those 'toxic' people and not mix with them.

    It makes life gentler, it has to be said.

    My wife, still working, has to deal with certain bitches not of the canine ilk at her work.

    Why do some people have to be like that? I never did discover, now I never will.

    My wife is a nurse and the stories she has about how patients, doctors, and her coworkers act make me 🙄 wonder. I always like the one when a patient is screaming on the phone at her and she is silent. They say "Are you there I don't hear you"  She just calmly replies I'm waiting for you to finish your outburst so maybe we can calmly discuss your issue :)  I don't know how she does it.

    Try to deactivate Windows automatic "Dock on", before you resize your windows!

    Lenses and Screensets doesn't remember "Dock on" (nor fullscreen), you have to manually resize the windows to the corner or the upper/lower edge.

     

    Bassman.

    All these things to remember!

  4. Ah youngsters. Sometimes no matter what you say they have to do it their way😧
    I remember my trumpet teacher beating into me for double tonguing and triple tonguing. Yet I was stubborn and had to do it my way for a few months. Took his advice finally and wow I really progressed😀 Of course 30 years later I don't play the trumpet and only my first love, keyboards 🎹.  I was able to amazingly still demonstrate to my wife's cousins child who is taking trumpet now.  As a side note he looks like he is stopping trumpet for his piano lessons. Told his parents he rather practice the piano. Smart Kid 😎

    Creativity is something you either have or don't to varying degrees. If you're creative you just have to learn the language and tools, if you're not creative no one can tell you how to be. If you want to work with music learn it...take lessons...piano, flute, guitar...learn some notation...study the fundamentals- chords, keys, scales, modes, etc. Then listen to your inner voice and speak  :)

    True, But my inner voice is not very good. Sometimes I think it is speaking in a foreign language 😂

    How can there be so many specials but no real discounts. 

    Sorry I’ll stick with the IKM stuff that I have now but won’t be getting any others. 

    Add to that when you’re in Australia you’re effectively penalised around 35% because of exchange rates.  Just priced themselves out of the market for me. 

    I have to agree. I wanted to upgrade Sampletank 3 to 4 but I'm sick of being a beta tester for new releases. I'll get it later after a few updates and when they have it on sale!
