Peace out.

I just had to. Don't kill me.

OMG taken out of context that is hilarious.

Invaluable advice from the man himself

I was curious to see if the guitar forums I sometimes visit (with technical questions) have threads about how to play The Blues...

First page on Google was  a lot of howto pages but no forums.

Hmmm... Is there a connection I wonder

Some forums don't come up in Google searches. The few genre specific guitar forums I go to have threads on how to do this or that pop up every so often.

But I think live performance instruments lend themselves more easily to being able to create a mood on the fly than compositional instruments like trackers, where you have to stop and write it down, which could break your train of thought.

LOL at actually trying to not talk about hedgehogs. Hmmm... don't hedgehogs often roll into a ball and drop down an incline in order to escape predators? I wonder if there really is a connection...

I'm waiting for that thread to happen if it hasn't already. Are all music composition forums filled with these kinds of threads?

It would make sense... considering the theme of the forum is Music Composition...

I was curious to see if the guitar forums I sometimes visit (with technical questions) have threads about how to play The Blues...

First page on Google was a lot of howto pages but no forums.

"How to drop the bass" didn't have any lesson pages at all, most of them were silly memes. I know there are bassdrop tutorials out there...

The truth is, though, like playing The Blues, dropping the bass is a feeling. You can know *what* to do, but you can't get good at it unless you practice doing it, a lot, preferably with company.
