Time for some real world playing on the AC5, and it's good to learn how to read music at the same time.

Intonation became very difficult when you have to play in tune and read music at the same time.  This tune took me about a week to practice (aprox 30mins a night x 5), and I had to do 5 or 6 take to get a less irritated one.

 

I'm helping out 811 tonight in Ottawa Summer Carnival at 930pm.  come check out the band and have some fun

This is a little guide to introduce Compressor / Limiter from a bass player’s point of view.

Unlike other type of guitar/bass effects such as distortion, modulation(chorus, flanger), delay, reverb.  Dynamic effects such as Compressor, Limiter, Expander, and Gate change the signal’s dynamic range (amplitudes) and very often beginners have hard time hearing how their sound is being altered.  This guide covers basic information on main compressions, in a less technical form.

ok, i swear, this will be the last of the series.  found a used fc-300 midi foot controller at local music store at an attractive price.

bullet coil cable

i'm a happy bullet coil cable user for years, and recently heard the company probably ran into some difficulties that most retailers were having hard time restocking their products.  well, while getting one for a friend of mine Kurt, i decided to buy another for myself in pink to keep my red one accompanied.

My attempt for another Motown classic by Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell.
