It's a weird one - both my sisters can play piano better than me by sight-reading music - but ask them to busk 'Imagine' by John Lennon for example, or a basic twelve-bar blues and they are literally clueless. No knowledge or real understanding of chord theory or circle of fifths. Where as I - as a guitarist - can riff around on a piano by just putting chords together (embellished with a few inversions and arpeggios) to play simplified versions of loads of popular songs and original (ish) riffs and they think I'm some kind of musical genius. (Spoiler: I'm really not). Yet sight reading I am hopeless at - I can read it, just dead slow. I once worked out how to play Bach's Prelude in C, memorised the notes and haven't looked at the sheet music since. 😂 On balance however, I still think the ability to play and read from the score is the superior skill.

Enjoyed that Keith - especially the old-school extended instrumental - nicely done. 👍 Andy

I tried it as an easy way of publishing some licensed covers but - although the process was pretty easy compared to some of the others that I am completely unable to get my head around - I found it not really the right solution for an occasional hobbyist like me. So I took down the tracks and canned the account. I've since worked out the simplest way to deal with covers is just not to do any. 😂 All that said, DK did what it said on the tin, it just wasn't for me. Andy

Impressive playing for sure - but that game face is a bit much. 😂 Andy

Great song - stripped back- everything you need and nothing you don't. Wonderful tribute Jesse, thanks for sharing and I'm sorry to hear Bob's situation., my condolences also. This is a lovely tribute you did for him. Andy

Welcome back online @Wookiee - just take it easy with the recovery, that fur ain't going to grow back in just a few days. 😉 Andy

Hmm passed the test with flying colours I'd say - very smooth indeed - great job. Andy

Now there's an idea... 🤔 When I woke up this morning, And looked down at the floor... Oh yes, there's definitely mileage in this! 😂

Measuring up my small upstairs (and cramped) home studio for re-decorating and new furniture, I noticed a bit of laminate floor lifting. Fast forward an hour or so, I've stripped everything out, dismantled the desk and lifted the flooring, only to find a rad valve has had a slow leak for what must have been weeks. 🙈 I've lifted and dried the laminate and luckily the underlay has saved the floorboards. Plumber coming next week to assess the damage and hopefully fix (my DiY is not bad but I don't do plumbing - much too messy if it goes wrong). Ah well, guess I won't be making any music for few weeks. At least it was caught in good time. So the moral is, do look down every once in a while to make sure your feet are still dry. 😂 Andy

Now this is a fabulous rock track - great lyrics, superb performance, killer riffs - I could go on... I loved it - brilliant 🤩 Andy

Wishing you all the best Wookiee. Andy

Good job on this Keith, enjoyed it. I never knew Hotlegs became 10cc and I was a massive 10cc fan. How Dare You is still one of the finest albums ever recorded IMHO. Andy

Very nice, I agree with @garybrun maybe the instruments could come up a touch or drop the vocals off by a dB or two; but you did a fine job on this either way. Kudos all round. Andy

Very immersive - really nice work. Andy

Just got around to another listen to the final mix, wow it really pops now - from shades of grey to full Kodachrome - latest version is great Great job 👍 Andy
