    Pink Floyd

    it think fewer than 50% of these notes in this solo (starting at 3:55) are actually the note on the fretboard. side note: whoever is sleeping with romany must really want to bang dave. good lord...she looks like someone just put a wig on him in 1975.

    it has given me a new understanding and appreciation for the gilmour "crying" solos. also, i have become a master of bending the 15th fret of the b string to a D# plus 10 cents trying to achieve an E. 🙄 i'm gonna have to get 9's on my strat.
  3. while not as silly as posting the beatles, this one kind of stretches the concept too. that is an objectively high quality pop song...extremely well made and extremely musical. whenever someone asks about this...i always think of one more try by george michael.

    i asked @Goredho to help me learn to play the electric part of the "scattered" solo that starts at 4:38 below because it seems achievable based on tempo and key. when i first started playing it and was just hunting down the notes, goredho was like "yeah that's not even close to right because he's not playing those notes on the fretboard, he's bending those two semitone jumps. for example, the beginning phrase of b-d-e, i was playing on the e string instead of the b string and bending the d. of course goredho was right but watching this video finally, it, was so much more than even i realized. my left hand fingers are going to be three times stronger by the time i get this right.
  5. thanks, fellas. yeah jimmy, the fmaj to amaj was a "unusual" but i loved the way it sounded back and forth and how unsettling it was. was just playing it back and forth on the piano on a rainy day and i was doing descending arps trying to find something and the a major over the f sounded rather pretty but obvious...and i wasn't going for that. i then did the e-c#-right to c over the inverted f of the main melodic motif and was immediately struck with the unsettling feel (i knew i was on to something when my wife yelled from the other room "ugh, don't play that again"). i felt like it would work well as a thematic tune for a psych thriller type show...something like a "severance." the other thing about the constant back and forth between the fmaj and amaj was what it did to the g and dmin chords. it made them feel so incredibly resolving in a cinematic way. i thought of this as a scoring "suite" off which different themes could be potentially developed for a movie/show for different characters/settings/etc... it is part of why the chords are screaming for a Bb min as part of the resolution but i don't give in...saving that for the prestige on some twist if you will. anyway, just a bit of fun. as a side note, i am doing a masterclass with alan meyerson on mixing in dolby atmos/immersive in november and i am thinking this would be a fun track to do as my project. i struggled with mixing it and am still not satisfied with how cluttered it feels in the heavy parts in the middle. feels like a good candidate for exploring the spatial audio elements to get the soundstage clarified on it.
  6. something something beta.
  7. where can i send my 9.95?
  8. as a west lake hills resident, i am in a different district than people in barton hills and zilker directly across mopac, but in the same district as people in crockett and corrigan? fucking clowns man.
  9. Great time, had a blast. Thanks to @wild_turkey for the planning assist. Only thing I’d change is to leave the kiddos behind next time. Would definitely recommend Cheval Blanc as a spot to stay.
  10. this moment effectively ended an entire political career.
  11. your confusion stems from the regime they are referring to not being the nation of israel...but instead the political regime led by n'yahu and his wing of extremists. the way you are interpreting it would be the same as interpreting me saying "i want to end the regime of corruption and incompetence led by donald trump from power in the united states" as "i want to end the existence of the united states and mexico should be in charge."
  12. god damn i love the entire second half of this track so fucking much. saw it live at hollywood bowl last october and it blew me away. one of my new all-time favorite guitar solos.
  13. i thought i was right but i did a deeper dive into the liner notes and recording sessions and i was wrong. the sax dominates for sure but there is a Bb trumpet in it that hits (and i can hear clearly now) that is in the sustain note at the end of each section (1:20, 2:03, and 3:32). so i retract what i said, it technically qualifies.

    you aren't. don't think that your additions in this thread don't get read. i'll admit that our tastes don't exclusively overlap (you have a much higher tolerance for nonsense than me - which is a good thing) but about 10-15% of the stuff you post here leads to me listening to some new stuff so it is appreciated. also, "subpar snatch" is a pretty fucking awesome name and sounds like it came from a surly "that would make a great band name" post. great band visual. unfortunately, another one that i gave a 20 minute try out to based on top streamed tracks and gonna have to move on. they do seem like they'd be an entertaining live show though.
  15. 2nd movement of stravinsky's rite of spring egmont overture - beethoven bolero - ravel shostakovich 7th and 12th symphony tchaikovsky - fucking everything but symphony 6 is probably best fountains and pines of rome - respighi (this one will surely draw out all the high school orchestra nerds) mahler symphony 2 and 5
  16. i just realized you weren't limiting this to pop/rock. if open to all genres, then this thread can basically just be: 1a. everything miles davis did from 1958 to 1970. 1b. everything chet baker did from 1952 to 1965.
  17. misirlou - dick dale (bones, horns, trumpets, tuba) all you need is love/got to get you into my life/penny lane - beatles (full orchestra brass, flugelhorn) uptown funk - bruno/ronson (horns) digital witness - st. vincent (horns) fake empire - the national (bones, horns, and trumpets) sledgehammer - pg (trumpets and horns) born to run - springsteen (i think this one might not work actually - can't remember if it was all sax) bitch and doo doo doo doo - stones (trumpets) national anthem - radiohead (horns) walking on sunshine - katrina and the waves (horns) the boxer - paul simon (piccolo trumpet) was going to say just the way you are by billy joel but i'm pretty sure that's all sax, as is baker street. i'm pretty sure picking up the pieces from awb above is also all sax. everything ever by james brown, chicago, or ew&f.
  18. it's not supposed to be...it is. i am trying to figure out why fudge nuggets drove-by saying it wasn't real and what stupid shit got over on him.
  19. what makes you say this?
  20. Umm, she willingly chose to marry Alex Jones.
  21. you're a fucking florida guy...the literal center of the jort universe. jesus.
