Rugeley Villa Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 the legendary tommy bolin also played with him on spectrum if im not mistaken, was listening to some bolin earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veloman Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 I had to look Tommy Bolin up; I hadn't heard of him. But, yep, played on Spectrum as you said. Just out of interest, the bass player on that LP, Leland Sklar, is the geezer on the Phil Collins video of Sussudio (sp). Hate to mention Phil Collins but, sadly, he was a damn good drummer ! Yer man Bolin also played with Alphonse Mouzon who I saw at the Odeon in New Street playing with Herbie Hancock. Was hoping it would have been Harvey Mason but Mouzon was a good substitute.

Rugeley Villa Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 yeah bolin was a fantastic player who really liked to spread his wings, he became even more popular when he joined deep purple. ive got respect for phil collins although im not a big fan of his music.

mjmooney Posted September 9, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted September 9, 2014 Funny, I associate Lee Sklar mainly with Carole King and James Taylor! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veloman Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 I did not know that. He isn't on 'Tapestry' or 'Sweet Baby James' which, IMO only, were their most famous LP's. Thought he was more 'rock/funk - but could easily be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leemond2008 Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 (edited) I have completely and utterly fell back in love with my 12 string acoustic, **** me I forgot how astoundingly beautiful she sounds. Just sitting and strumming random chords is enough to really cheer me up Edited September 12, 2014 by leemond2008 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leemond2008 Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 If I drop another plectrum inside my guitar I am gunna go absolutely potty, I honestly don't know what is wrong with me but over the last few days my plectrum seem to literally be jumping into my guitar, I have lost my favorite plectrum so I recon that has something to do with it. god its annoying, I can't believe that after all these years no one has came up with a simple way to retrieve a plectrum from the inside of a guitar without having to resort to flipping it and shaking and and basically making yourself look a bit of an idiot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjmooney Posted September 19, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted September 19, 2014 (edited) I know what will happen. The blu-tack will fall off the pencil. You then have a plectrum and a lump of blu-tack loose inside the guitar. I have a related problem. I noticed the tell-tale rattle inside my acoustic. So I turned it upside down and started shaking. Nothing. Eventually it dawned on me. The internal contact microphone has become detached, and is rattling around on its wire. So I need to re-fix it. Blu-tack? Glue? Gaffa tape? Either way, it will mean taking the (relatively new) strings off, so I can reach inside the soundhole. Bastardos.

Xann Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 It's a careful balance Mike, we're talking about the construction of precision tools here. Personal preference is a wooden kebab skewer, but not everyone has the correct instruments for a tricky job like this. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted September 19, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted September 19, 2014 Maybe the answer is to use steel plectrums (plectra?), thus facilitating the use of magnets. Would play hell with yer strings, mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turnbull Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 Ok, I'm not a musician but I have done plenty of DIY, so how about using one of these? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted September 20, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted September 20, 2014 Is this a straw poll, or are you seeking advice? Not so much advice, just swapping notes. I'm really enjoying the Zoom R24 but I feel I've barely scratched the surface of what it's capable of yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
