  1. I did it that way Byron, but I swapped the three bottom strings from 54/42/32 to 46/36/24. Such a difference in string tension meant relaxing the FR springs quite a bit.
  2. Arrrrrrrrrrggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ? It's time for me bed and I still cannae tw@t it up into A minor ?
  3. We are restringed ? Now to spend another plentitude of hours to re-tension the springs and get the bloody thang back in tune ?
  4. I'm about to restring my Floyd Rose ESP with a different gauge of strings ? No doubt copious sweating, swearing and farting will now ensue.
  5. The Clash - Remote Control Trivia: So peeved were Strummer, Jones and co that ^^^^ this album track had been released as a single without their approval, they wrote and recorded this (single) by way of an 'up yours' to the record company: The Clash - Complete Control
  6. Don't worry Greg, I'm not stalking you or anything sinister like that ? I worked it out from your username ?
  7. ? Dreadful … … might be a new low for you Mr Paulo, even by your own extremely poor standards ? Praise be to Jebus ?
  8. 'T. Monk's Advice' as delivered to saxophonist Steve Lacy in 1960 Just because you’re not a drummer, doesn’t mean that you don’t have to keep time. Pat your foot and sing the melody in your head when you play. Stop playing all that bull5hit, those weird notes, play the melody! Make the drummer sound good. Discrimination is important. You’ve got to dig it to dig it, you dig? All reet! Always know It must be always night, otherwise they wouldn’t need the lights. Let’s lift the band stand!! I want to avoid the hecklers. Don’t play the piano part, I am playing that. Don’t listen to me, I am supposed to be accompanying you! The inside of the tune (the bridge) is the part that makes the outside sound good. Don’t play everything (or everytime); let some things go by. Some music just imagined. What you don’t play can be more important than what you do play. A note can be small as a pin or as big as the world, it depends on your imagination. Stay in shape! Sometimes a musician waits for a gig & when it comes, he’s out of shape & can’t make it. When you are swinging, swing some more! (What should we wear tonight?) Sharp as possible! Always leave them wanting more. Don’t sound anybody for a gig, just be on the scene. Those pieces were written so as to have something to play & to get cats interested enough to come to rehearsal! You’ve got it! If you don’t want to play, tell a joke or dance, but in any case, you got it! (to a drummer who didn’t want to solo). Whatever you think can’t be done, somebody will come along & do it. A genius is the one most like himself. They tried to get me to hate white people, but someone would always come along & spoil it.
