I don't think I need a lot of contrast. This is personal preference but it seems that by and large most folks like contrast. My new stick is Jade linears against Light Bamboo. It's a little more than just preference. I have a paduak Stick with pau inlays. The inlays are beautiful to be sure. I was ...

Very true. And I've heard seveal instrumental "rock guitar gods" where the soloing was strong but the song writing was nothing more than something to hang the solo off of. Yep. And let's be real here ... this is not confined to rock. There are plenty of jazz tunes out there that are just ...

Cool! We use to drill endlessly on stuff like this in college and I found it very useful. Especially when it came to figuring out other people's tunes.

My wheels screached to a halt in the "perfect pitch" section though. That's something I just don't have.

My wheels screached to a halt in the "perfect pitch" section though. That's something I just don't have. In grad school I took a music cognition class, and there was this one study how people who don't normally have perfect pitch can still, in a large percentage of cases, identify the fir...

I'm not convinced that knowing how to play the bass or guitar is any more of an advantage for learning The Stick than knowing any other instrument. Sometimes it can be a detriment as many guitarists or bassist come in thinking that the Stick is like a "bass or guitar on steroids" which, t...

Multi for me. Formally, my primary instrument was the saxophone which I studied all through K-12 and also majored in during college. Played piano from as young as I can remember but never really did any formal study until college. Took up guitar and bass at age eighteen (I'm 45 now) so I could play ...

Having all that theory knowledge of harmony and scales and ear training has gotta count for something! And the discipline of practicing right from the start! It's interesting you should bring up the discipline of practice as I was just having this discussion with some friends a few days ago. Not ne...

I'm really comfortable with it in a band, but solo I'm still pretty scared! This is certainly understandable. Solo is a different beast entirely. What you should do Pete is find some open mics and start going. This is a great way to get over the solo jitters. Generally the skill and competence leve...
