No unfortunately i am not one of those rare lefthand bassist, if you try to pick up a guitar in the same postition it will end up with your left hand on the frets and right hand on the strings below.

Illustration of a Right hand bassist

To play with your lefthand on a normal bass requires you to turn the guitar upside down (the thickest string facing the bottom) and its really hard to play. I heard of left handed designs but they are more expensive. Left hand bass players are really amazing people.

So if you want to tell if a person is a lefthanded bassist look at the strings the next time (unless he has a specially designed lefthanded bass of course.. )

eh, im pretty sure you got that wrong. left hand on the frets and right hand on the strings is already playing right handed and not left handed leh.

most left handed players turn the guitar upside down and just restring the other way round (like hendrix) tho this probly can cause slight intonation problems.

those rare left handed players which you meant are probly those who uses a typical guitar and just turn it upside down without restringing the guitar to suit left handers. thus thickest string is on the bottom and right hand is on the frets with the left hand strumming. correct me if im wrong, but i think amanda tee plays it this way cuz i remember going 'wow, i didnt know you can do that!' when i watch her haha.


ps: i think your pix is also wrong man. its like showing a right handed styled playing who strung his guitar upside down. lol

 

[AverRal]

Yes i am right handed, i said i wasn't left handed

The picture is to illustrate how to tell if a person is a left handed player by looking at the strings. The right hand will be on the frets as well. Although they might restring it and make more harder for people to tell haha.

thats not wat i meant la. haha

oh man, this got to be a touchy topic.

anyway just side track abit : I agree with badger, don't blame the equipment because the thing you should be listening to when you're performing is your music. that determines the quality. before I started recording I had a goner squier guitar which would go out of tune every 10 minutes (neck warp probably) I brought it to a low profile guitar tech , he got it fixed and shredded solos on it to demonstrate (and show off) that it's cool now. so I thought "maybe the power of music/tone lies in the musician not the instrument." in audio recording : your weakest link is as good as your strongest link. in music : your strongest link(playing) can bring the weakest link(instrument) to a higher level and make it perform more than it can provide.

as for the rock chick thingy.. well, if you got the talent in :
1) music - write good songs, record demos. perform well on stage.
2) looks - flaunt it if you don't give a damn about guys slapping sex labels on you.I don't like models personally, but thinking about it, using your looks to earn a living isn't an easy thing to accomplish. it's considered "Art" also, to make up/pose/dress match. and it takes the photographer to take good photos too, two hands to clap.

and how many of us here (it was on another thread) picked up guitars to try attract chicks but ended up dropping the idea and forming kickbutt bands to promote local scene? if in terms of equality, it could possibly be the case where 1 hot chick influence loads and loads of puberty teenagers to pick up an instrument and then later grow out of it saying "i'm not longer thinking with my mr little happy. music IS my passion." and differentiate love from lust.

not only influence guys, chain reaction : there'll be more girls too picking up instrument for 2 kinds of mindset -
1) join in the fun "wow she looks so cool/hot, I want to be like her too!
2) "what a slutty looking girl! music is not about sex and I want to prove ppl wrong that you don't need to look hot to play good music!"

so what could come from here on ? more "eye candy models" , more "musicians", more ppl starting "t-shirt clothing lines" , more "photographers" needed for all these models, more "trend" , more "audience/following/influence" , then commercial line ppl like Macs TV/radio/tv mobile will tap into this "new market" because more "demand".
P.S : i'm not saying you need commercialism to prosper, but local scene needs all the help it can get.

yes as I said above, this is a touchy topic, many will disagree with me because you're looking at the negative impact (ONLY) it currently creates. but the long run, you'll see the "positive impact" it generates. however I sorta can expect this in future : if you think the emo/core trend is bad now, wait till future comes when even your next generation kids become fashion-crisis teens. :lol: just like how the earlier generation looks at us.

she's hot -in a tight leather pants kinda way

I urge more female users to stand out to post pictures of themselves to show their passion for music.

Huh? You're kidding right?
I'd rather have my music and performances posted up instead of my fuckface. If I could achieve in portraying my passion for music without the need of flashing my tits about, that's one hell of an achievement on my part.
Looks may sell but I ain't going down that route. If I ever needed to show my passion for music, you'll hear it, not see it. Just me.

 

[BadgerS88]

WORD! 8)

 

[piano_ex]

=P ... yo badger ... haha

 

[kjartan_v]

passion for music is one thing.. people respect you, admire your brilliance and dedication and humble nature. thats wonderful. but if you have the passion, and happen to be hot at the same time, i say its part of the package and good for you!

anyway, sometimes people don't intend to use their pretty face.. its just that those who see them get too preoccupied with their looks and think they are flaunting. they fail to see beyond that..

ok enough talk from me.. lets have more pics please..

 

[edder]

yay my 2 cents into the useless 2 cents bin!

AveRal, you got seek permission from Aloysious and the other photographer to post their pictures on the forum or not?

One most important rule of ethics for a musician... seek permission and give credit when credit is due. You'd be well respected.

and on to my contribution to the thread!

She's the vocalist of a duo that played in The Art House organised by NUS OMS. Pretty good Byork-ish electronica stuff with acoustic guitar.

8O

sage : haha looks like my theory is taking immediate effect. by the way how do you type all the cuss words without getting it censored? thats weird I remembered posting the word "what the f*ck" and there's some sort of filter.

anyway keep it up. hopefully you inspire more female musicians who will follow your role model.

Dunno. Magic~~.
Didn't realise I used the word even; feel free to edit it off, mods..

There is many rooms for interpretation in a photo

Let me give you some examples

1. When you take a photo with your car, a person can interpreted it as you love your car as you are proud of it to be seen near it.

2. When you take a photo with your loved ones, it can be seen as you love them very much as it can be interpreted as you love the ones close to you that you want to take photos with them as a memory.

3. When you take a photo with your instrument, it can be seen as a passion for music, you love music, you can die with your instrument... or even be remembered for your connection with the music you play.

Just you and your instrument in your own world.
This is called passion for music.
