Ol Smoke Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 Anyone here remember the song "On the cover of the rolling stone" by Dr. Hook and the medicine show. I know some of you don't because your parents weren't even born then. But for those of us who do remember.... I played the lead part on that record. Nailed it !!! 7 Quote

Ol Smoke Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 practice and hard work = (some amount of) talent Jimi Hendrix carried his Strat with him, everywhere he went, for over 14 years. Everywhere! He once went to a movie with this girl and he sat there watching the show and practicing riffs at the same time. He didn't have a case, so he tied a rope to it and strung it over his shoulder. His dad said he could hear him playing in the bathroom, when he was eating, walking to school, in school, he was never seen without that guitar. To be a great guitarist takes a couple of things. 1. An ear for musical tones. 2. The ability to transform what you hear in your head to the fingerboard. 3. Practice, practice, practice. 4. Listening to other guitarists and trying their styles. 5. The ability to see where you want the next note to be played. Most guitarists play the note on the fingerboard that is being played at that point in time. But great guitarists have already played that note and more, and are thinking of what they are going to play 10 maybe 20 notes down the line. The best at this technique is Eric Clapton. Watch him play sometime, and you will see that he is many notes ahead of where the song is at that point. 3 Quote
Stanky Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 Did this back in 2012 when I first started writing after leaving my original band of 20 years. It's rough to be sure but I'm used to havign other members to do the parts - drums, bass and keyboards are a steep learning curve. I did all the parts blah blah. So many talented folks here, it's kind of embarrassing to add my pittance to the pile. 3 Quote

Lemme get this straight: you're George Cummings, the original guitarist who laid the track in 71 and actually came up with the name Dr Hook? Quote

xDingDongWang Posted August 19, 2014 Posted August 19, 2014 Some people might debate that decks are an instrument, but if you can make sound and manipulate the sound, in my eyes it's deemed an instrument , here i am with my buddy 2 Quote
