Knobs on this.
Thanks YT, was pondering possibilities of this earlier.
Much more difficult than Iād imagined, melody carries one.
No-one thinks snaketime easy, then some bastard with a guitar nails it.
Many thanks to the quiet #burtonac, whosoever you may be.
Splendid.
His timing is spot on to the oddment, check the others.
Theyāre good, but less precise with snaketime, ime.
Time for a watchmakerās thread?
Latest gear alert!
New pair of Adam monitors in dedicated studio shock!

This week Iāve been rekindling my love for fuzz with the help of a Fuzz Face clone bought on that eBay and experimenting with noise in the style of mogwai, swans and my bloody valentine - which fuzz just happens to be perfect for. Fuzz is like vanilla distortion but served up in big syrupy globs of filth and splutter, which I like. Dialled back and immediately you get into Hendrix-ey 60s type sounds. I hadnāt appreciated how versatile it is before, for a pair of clipping transistors.
I have a bunch of germanium transistors, which I was wondering what to do with. They seem quite popular in these kinds of things.
The germanium transistors have the mojo because they were used in the earliest fuzz circuits (like the 60s Fuzz Face). Silicon came afterwards. Donāt chuck āem! Thereās definitely a market among pedal builders assuming theyāre the right type.
Yeah, will hang onto then. Need to some research on them. Let me know if you wasnāt singe to play with.
Iāve been having yet more fun with pretending a bass is an aksherl lead guitarā¦
Feels like Iāve been booted up the ass.
" I think like a band."
Those moments when you realise youāve spent your life playing in the foothills.
The big peaks are in the far distance.
Sheās gone down hill since the soft core epics of the 70s!
Probably composed as film music (1924), shortly before the composer died.
Microtonal guitar.
What I like about dividing the octave by more than 12 is the ridiculously silly interval names arrived at. Because everyone knows their tridecimal augmented third from their lesser undecimal neutral second and septimal diatonic semitone. Wot?
Also makes for some interesting and unique sounds and instruments.
Couldnāt attempt a technical descriptions of the altered intervals.
But do like some of it to keep the ears alert.
Sounds like a tuneful Derek Bailey!
And hereās my monthly fiddleā¦ Bit rough round the edges due to lack of time, but it has to meet the Basschat compo compo deadline!
i.e. Not like Derek Bailey.
This week Iāve stared to learn Konnakol which is way to vocalise rhythm using a series of syllables. The technique comes from South India. This introduction by Florian Bronk is the one I found easiest to understand.
