Thats very much on point. The need to baffle the audience is not working well with that series at all. It was mostly all about suspense and a bit of humor, but nowadays they try to trump every...

Can you call the music for J.Bond movies a genre?

I played a farmers market and the Sax player brought an S1 Pro to sing though, it kept up just fine, it's a cool speaker.

No I don’t regard film music as a genre. It does have some generic aspects tho. Film music has always been a stylistic magpie. If go back to the likes of Korngokd, Steiner, Young and Kaper they...

Chord melody problem

It's not? But don't they give out Grammys for "best film scores"? Ah... I see the category has been combined into score/soundtrack. I would still argue that "film score" is indeed a genre. I...

And it wasn't Sterling before the Euro either, it was the Irish pound, or punt (since 1927, btw). I'm sorry I missed this thread earlier, I was in Roscommon with lots of free time for 2 weeks in...

A recent thread about a weak high E string when plugged in prompted me to pose this question. It seems to me that well respected luthiers very often use high end pickups but tend to negotiate a...

High end luthiers and pickups

The Spaghetti Western probably is a genre but movies should not be confused with their themes. Film music per se is not actually a genre.

The currency in Cork is Euros? Good lord, what are things coming to? But I suppose sterling is seen as imperial British. (Just looked it up, happened in 2020. Ah well)

All of the above. Depending on the materials used, strings will oxidize over time, so exposure to air is a factor. Exposed surface area comes into play - I haven't measured it, but I expect that...

Why do strings eventually sound dead?

Our show went very well (guitar, bass, vocals). The venue asked for more dates. It was quite nice to have such a simple set up. I played my Tele through a tube amp; no pedals; just a little reverb in...

I recently started reading the books again. I always liked Fleming's style, and I'm not disappointed now either. OHMSS is probably the best of the series. Craig was pretty good indeed (except Bond...
