Hi fellow Garagers! I thought that I might just as well do some advertising here and this seemed like a good thread for that. Our trio Super-Idiots has recently released a record called "Music for Non-Idiots". You can check some live clips here (we don’t use any click tracks, by the way): youtube.com/superidiotsmusic. I came up with the concept of the group and do the arrangements and composing but as a player I’m by far the weakest link! But as Pat says, always be the worst player in any band you’re in, that’s the way you learn. I hope that some of you will take the time to check our stuff out and hopefully you’ll like our offerings!

Hey DSOP, I follow your contributions on the HOD. I’m not a member there..just been lurking for a number of years now. You’re a great player and always enjoy reading your posts there! Just watched you guys doing "James" the other night and you sound great!

I am a (recovering)
bassoonist.
Probably the only bassoonist
on the planet that Pat has
promised a gig to:

Hilarious exchange between health
scratch and Harn there...
I play soprano, alto and tenor sax. I
doodle about on bass guitar and play
the piano really badly. I arrange for a
big band, a horn section and write a
few tunes too... some pop stuff, some
jazz.
I’d love to write a score for a film or
play or something one day. Also would
like to experience a proper
international tour... played a few gigs
in Europe but can count them on the
fingers of two hands.

Er, healthy_scratch, I think you’ve taken the question too literally!

My pride and joy is a spectacularly made Alhambra 6-string steel string cutaway used mostly for Standard Tuning playing. An instrument that is a joy to own can not recommend them enough. Alhambra is based out of Alicante in Spain, provided me with great service and phenomenal instrument, highly recommended!
Runner up a Regal Dobro in mostly open G and open D for slide.
A low action early 91 Washburn Acoustic for non slide playing various open tunings.
1996 US Fender Strat Black.
A Martin Backpacker to heap scorn upon for being the most uncomfortable least rewarding instrument ever designed in terms of neck and its inability to be played while seated. I use it as a canoe paddle when my kids are not getting creative with it.

That’s very cool Domitille. Hope you keep at it and enjoy playing throughout your life.

So... it’s difficult to say "What Type of
music do I play" because I’m 12
years old so I have teachers and they
give me pieces.
I prefer play Pat or Lyle Mays or
Chick Corea’s music.
Now, I play "Hard Eights" by Lyle,
"Have you heard" by Pat, "Eternal
Child", and "got a match" by Chick.
Often, I play "Stella by Starlight" by
standarts are to easy now.
I play Also classical’s music, like
"Campanella" by Liszt and "Fantaisie-
Impromptu" by Chopin...

I don`t play the drums. I hit the drums... Guess there is a wee difference between the two. But I like to put on some background music and play (hit) along. Not in the house, though. My wife wouldn`t let me keep the set in the living room (daahhh...), so I keep it at our summer house in the countryside. Not sure about the quality of my drumming, as my 6 year old daughter came in from playing in the snow outside, and told me to hush...

We all play Jeff Beck air guitar, some
way better than others lol.

thehague Feb 26 2012 at 3:05 AM |
I wish I could play the air guitar as good as you can compose, -m. Last time I did it the mirror crack’d twice :-).

Domitille: I want to apologize for hijacking your thread...I consider both Dazedcat and thehague friends so I really was responding to them as a friend might...So Domitille on occasion I play guitar though I prefer to think in terms of composition - does that make me a composer? Opinions vary. You say you play piano but that opens up a broad range of possibilties... Keith Jarrett plays piano but so does your basic honky-tonk player down at the local saloon. What type of music do you play Domitille? Where are your interests? BTW: welcome to the garage it’s a pretty good place to meet some really good people.

Okay I admit it, when really tipsy I play a **mean** air guitar while listening to old Jeff Beck albums - true!

Dazedcat Feb 24 2012 at 11:24 AM |
Yeah -m fess up. Bic lighters the world over are waiting on your reply :)
