I didn't realise fake-Bono was so scary....

I think so... so many threads, they all kinda blur together...

Yay! I haven't spent much time on that one myself... God Part II is my latest achievement

That's a cool clip, btw Galeongirl... well, the half that's loaded so far is pretty cool

 

[Galeongirl]

I know the guitar guy(white shirt)


Vertigo is really easy actually


I know more bass songs than guitar songs now!

 

[kafrun]

The tab for Vertigo looks simple enough, but there are so many songs and so little time...!

I'm off to keep my sister and Jamie company whilst her hubby is showing Rockie (alfie's half brother and Sadie's Uncle) at Crufts

But i'll definately be around tomorrow night

I was gonna ask if any of the dogs are in Crufts today. Go Rockie.

A question for the bass girls. IS it easier to learn/play than a 6 sting guitar?

 

[bonoishot]

I got 2 ( RED) tshirts. Gonna take pictures for the (RED) thread.

 

[bonoishot]

My camera battery has gone.

Just charging it.

Also got a Joshua Tree Vinyl, an old U2 book, and the Kaiser Cheifs new album.

Went into the Apple store in the city centre. I'm definately getting a Macbook, they're I had a play around on one and loved it.

Forgot how much i love Manchester.

Be back later.

Guitars aren't particularly hard to play anyway I always thought that the bass was "a lazy man's guitar"

I assumed less strings = less effort

Thats what i was thinking. I have an acoustic guitar. Its not been played for a long long time. I want an electric guitar or a bass though.

 

[bonoishot]

gonna browse the forums, go to myspace.

Completely late, but I think it's a whole lot easier.
It's either that...or I just fail at guitar, period. ._.

 

[bonoishot]

I aplogise to Carmel i've just written a mini essay comment on her myspace.

i kind of thought that before i started playing, but i think it's safe to say it's better to see it as a completely different instrument that serves a different purpose to a 6 string guitar and is therefore played differently.



that's just my humble opinion.

enjoy your sheep!

Hey, I'm not a Kiwi... *flees from the New Zealanders*

I had a huge post all written, but the forum ate it...
*tries again*

A question for the bass girls. IS it easier to learn/play than a 6 sting guitar?

I know it's a typo, but I can't resist...
A 6 sting guitar sounds painful to play... *flees again*

I never really tried to learn to play a regular guitar. I have a dim memory of one of my friends from primary school trying to teach me a chord on her accoustic guitar, but all I remember is that the strings hurt my fingers. (It's those stings, you know.)
Ye gods, that was 20 years ago...!

And like Fiona said, they really are different instruments for different purposes. I think my bass teached said something about basses being tuned differently than regular guitars, in terms of what the strings are tuned to and the pattern of notes on the fretboard...
I don't know how to play a chord on a bass; I'm sure there's a way, but I dunno what it is.
I wonder if you could play slap-guitar?

*counts the smileys and saves the text before attempting to post again*

 

[andberlin]

i hate when forums eat posts, they especially seem to like longer ones

but yeah, i think you're right ali with the different tunings, etc. i've done a bit of playing on a 6 string to know that it's a totally different ballgame - and anyway, i was always meant to play bass

speaking of which, i really do need some lessons to get a better technique/fingering/etc going on... *poor student*
