hi ig, i'm a fan of cheapo second hand pedals. some from bootmarkets and the like are under a fiver. they dont always work, but u can test the old battery powered type. often if there is a problem, its simple i/o jack connection loose.

just listening to this again

Wonderful stuff ...in it's day . Do find digital mixing and all that stuff of the 21st Century just a little too perfect.
I like a bit of "live" edginess to my music ...

OK, my son is wondering what type of "old fashioned" pedal he needs to get the "Glitter Band" type of distortion & sustain ...

Any ideas welcome (keep it cheap,lol) ...using a "Tele" and a Roland Mini Amp at home.

I think mine is a tad more intersting Wolterix (LOL) though thanks for the sheet music.

[bamboo2] 19/12/2011 10:07

thanks merlin, wolt.
yes those spacings! why does adfn cut down the spaces?
one way around the prob is to insert another character, eg a full stop in the space. this 'feature' has ruined many a simple table of figures.

[wolterix] 18/12/2011 15:07

if you were playing it around the 5th fret you could do this for the F, barre-ing the 7th fret with the index finger etc

E---7
B---8
G---9
D---7
A---8
E---X

and also with the Bflat9, has a G (6th/13th note) then E, so could do this, strumming the Bflat13 up to the B string and then ringing out the top E

E---open
B---8
G---7
D---6
A---x
E---6

pretty out there tune - melody line never moves out of C major, but the chords modulate all over the shop!

[wolterix] 18/12/2011 14:57

here you go, assume 'A-' means A minor



yep, looks to be a sharp 4th B in the F, Merlin....

[merlin55] 18/12/2011 13:08

Bollo, its lost the chord spacings, never mind.

[merlin55] 18/12/2011 13:07

I play it something like this mainly on the piano (and guitar) where I also add a B in the Fmaj sometimes. I think I my have made the end up myself although it is fairly standard.

ig, lol, once you've run through it a few times it gets easier!
I'm only just proficient with 'thinking of you' and still need the music in front of me! good to have a challenge.
merlin, could you share your version? are you pulling the srings, strumming?
check out the original mancini 1961/2

[ignoble] 17/12/2011 09:33

Hope so ...more like playing a harp with all those chord changes
(not that I have the first clue how to play a harp}

[merlin55] 17/12/2011 09:25

Moon River - a Classic Bamboo although the version I'm working on has fewer chord changes.

[ignoble] 17/12/2011 09:17

Rubbish !

IMHO

wolt, old grey whistle test goes digital

Budding pop stars may fare better if they swap a piano keyboard for a PC, according to university researchers.

University of Bristol scientists claim to have developed software that can spot whether a song has hit potential.

The program looks at 23 separate characteristics including loudness, danceability and harmonic simplicity.

Trained using hit songs from the Top 40 over the last 50 years, the software can predict chart positions with about 60% accuracy, the scientists say.

Hit factory

"The goal was to find out if we could come up with an equation that distinguishes between a hit and something that dangles at the bottom of the charts," said Dr Tijl De Bie, a senior lecturer in artificial intelligence at Bristol, who heads the research team.

Dr Bie said the equation was developed using the publicly available data about songs in the UK top 40 since 1961. For each week in that long history, the equation was tested with new releases to see if it could predict where that song would get in the chart.

"At every moment in time the equation can be different because we only took into account past data," Dr De Bie told the BBC.

Machine learning techniques were used to help the equation learn about the relative importance of all the elements that make up a pop song. The result, he said, was an equation that is right more often than it is wrong.

"We can expect to get it right in about 60% of cases," said Dr De Bie. "It's not perfect."

Good sounds

What regularly tripped up the equation were the unexpected hits that became popular for reasons that often had nothing to do with their musical qualities, he said.

In 2010, Surfin' Bird by The Trashmen reached number three in the UK charts, thanks to a web campaign persuading people to buy it to prevent X Factor winner Matt Cardle being the Christmas number one.

In a similar way, said Dr De Bie, the equation could not determine to what extent marketing determined whether a song was a hit.

And, he added, predicting that something would be a hit was no guide to whether a song was worth listening to.

"It's not a value judgement," he said, adding that it was really a social barometer that measured what people were more likely to buy.

Despite this, said Dr De Bie, neither he nor his colleagues were planning to gamble any money on which song would be the 2011 Christmas number one.

What the work has also revealed is the steady change in musical tastes that have been reflected in chart music over the past half century.

Analysis showed that music had become easier to dance to and louder over the years, said Dr De Bie.

Krakow's choice is a very good looking young lady ...see she has the "perv repellants" on her wedding finger.
Can't be easy to play with nails that long but it works for her

[ignoble] 16/12/2011 08:39
