<![CDATA[I've got a 1979 Kramer DMZ6000B bass that needs some help. It's got active electronics, with a pre-amp. The guts are a mess as it's been butchered by a previous owner. This is old technology and I'm not really looking to update it. I'd like to keep the instrument as original as possible but just get it working. I have not had any luck locating any schematics although that's still a work in progress. <br> <br> <br> <br> Anyone know a good guitar mechanic? Mark at Fat Sound has already looked at it and can't do anything with it without the schematic. <br> <br> <br> <br> ]]>

<![CDATA[I've never done this before, so we will see what happens. I am 27 years young lol. I have always had a passion for singing since as far back as I can remember. Its almost as though it runs through my veins. I've tried the corporate world and its just not in me. I want to continue singing and take it to new heights and i'm looking for a band that is just as dedicated and has the same love to music as I do. I dont know where this journey will take us. But I do know that there are a lot of people out there that are very talented but question that talent, just as I have. I want to break free now and finally live and fulfill my dream. Who wants to join me? I hope to hear from you all soon. Just so you know, my voice is more on the jazzy, r&b side. Some vocalists that you could listen to to get a feel for my voice are india arie, sade, jill scott...to name a few. Take Care All!!!!]]>


<![CDATA[We are both veterans of the local club scene. Looking to hook up with other pro level musicians who are already gigging, or are close but need a few final pieces. We have pro gear and excellent booking contacts. Recordings, etc, are available.]]>


<![CDATA[Looking to join some form of rock band (prefer blues-rock, but whatever). I enjoy everything from Tom Petty to Metallica, so I am pretty versatile/open. I have solid gear, both electric and acoustic. I have my own practice space with enough room for a 3-4 piece band (any bigger and it would get quite tight). Looking for laid back fun people who want to play gigs out. I am available most evenings for practice. I also have basic recording equipment and the practice space is insulated enough it might double as a pretty good recording studio area. <br> <br> I have played in prior bands and done plenty of gigging. I can do some lead/improv stuff as well, it just isn't my primary skill.]]>

<![CDATA[Hi Raleigh, <br> <br> I'm a local drummer with well over 25 years of playing experience. For the last 10 years, I've been involved with a number of local groups performing original & cover music in both live & studio situations. At the moment, I'm not involved heavily with any 1 group and I still enjoy getting out and playing live on occassion. While I was involved in groups, one of the things that was constant was the ability for everyone to always be available for a gig. With my experience, I'm in an ideal position to offer fill-in drum work for any number of local groups here. Does your group have a gig opportunity where your drummer has a conflict? Have a scheduled gig where your drummer is sick? Don't give up the gigs...contact me...I'll be happy to fill in. In most situations, a set-list and a single rehearsal would be all I need to be prepared for the gig. I have top quality equipment, a great sense of time, and much prefer playing a groove that makes heads bob to any fills/etc. If you need a fill-in drummer for your gig, give me a shout...I'd love to help out. <br> ]]>


<![CDATA[Bassist here looking for a band and/or project. I am a 41 yr old L.A. transplant with tons of gigging and band experience....pretty much played L.A. and Orange County for years before I moved out East. I am married, no kids, so plenty of time to devote to the right situation. I have pro-gear, transportation, a very open mind musically and I am a bassist! Which means, I am not a frustrated guitar player, I know the bass role, and I dig it! I can play all styles from funk to metal and everything in between. Ideally I would like something with some volume, something that is heavy, either in a hard way or a lryical way. Some of my fave bands: RHCP, Floyd, U2, QOTSA, Radiohead, Rage, STP, Muse, Lamb of God, Tool, Slipknot, Rush,...etc. I am also located about 30 miles south of Raleigh in Lillington, so it would be sweet to meet some folks from out this way....would love to play Raleigh gigs, but am hoping to be able to practice close to home...BUT, don't let that stop ya from contacting me....let me know what you have going on, and we can talk gear, etc. <br> <br> Thanks, Rod <br> <br> (910)814-7502]]>


<![CDATA[I'm a groove oriented drummer who's been playing drums for well over 25 years. I have a deep pocket groove and know exactly what to play and more importantly when to play it. I'm looking for an established group that is looking for someone to lay it down solid. If you're looking for a drummer who understands the importance of dynamics and pocket, and is much more interested in getting the crowd moving and heads bobbing than he is in playing flashy fills within every hole, than I might be your guy. I don't mind if the group is original or covers...been there/done that with both. I don't mind if the genre is blues or country or rock....done em all. What I care about is that there are musicians who play proficiently at a high level, have respect for one another, and are fun to work with at rehearsal, in the studio, and in live settings. <br> <br> My ideal group would have a desire to practice 1 time per week and play out live 2, maybe 3 times per month. I've had a number of responses to previously placed ads, but have either found very established bands looking for a schedule that's far heavier than 3 gigs/month, or have found newly forming groups that are starting from the ground floor. If you're a serious & talented group that's looking for a drummer, happy to rehearse 1x per week and play out 2-3 times per month, please give me shout. I've found great players who are looking to play much more than that, and with my current family commitments/etc. I'm not able to entertain much more than that. If I sound like your kind of drummer, please shoot me an email. Would be great if you could provide links to your site, myspace/etc. so I can hear what you're all about. Ready & willing to audition on short notice for the right group. Hope to find you soon! ]]>

I am looking for some prolific, PROFESSIONAL, producers with an ear for eclectic sounds and a passion for music to collaborate with. I am serious about my music.

My only concern is making good music, all the other stuff is neither here nor there for me. If you are the same way and can stay consistent with your word, I'd love to hear from you. <br> <br> I am visiting NC for a week and want to see what the music scene has to offer... <br> <br> I do jazz, funk, soul, and experimental sounds...

<![CDATA[ Whats up fellow artists? I'm writing this post in search of other musicians that would like to join me on a project. I'll start by saying I'm in my 30's and while that may sound old to some in there 20's i'm sure it sounds young to those in there 40's and up. While age sucks theres nothing we can do about it and besides there is one advantage and thats experience.Just a thought.lol <br> Now for the meat and potatoes. I am a guitarist that really wants to form a band with the intentions of writing good progressive metal along the lines of Rush with a metal edge or lets say Tool with more acoustics or Alice in Chains with more complex musical parts. <br> My style or level of ability could be considered along the lines of Adam Jones(Tool) or maybe more like Alex Lifeson(Rush). I'm not the craziest or flashiest player but I have a style and am more concerned with writing great thought provoking music that is challenging for the players but versatile for a singer. The music should have basic elements of groove, rhythm, melody and the subject matter as far as wlyrics should be thought provoking and yet deep or personal. <br> I'm looking for a drummer with the likes of a Neil Pert, Danny Carry, or Mike Portnoy. <br> I'm looking for a bassist the likes of Geddy Lee, Les Claypool, or Paul D'Amour <br> I'm not completely opposed to a second guitar player but It's an issue that I want to tackle with input from the others in the band . <br> And lastly the singer. This is obviously the toughest part. What I would really like is an Eddie Vedder or Maynard Jmaes Keenan tone and style that has some experience writing lyrics and who has a vision. Don't we all.lol Someone who understands how to feel the music and let it influence there ideas. I beleive the music is 50% and the singing and subject matter is the other 50%. This puts alot of pressure on a singer but I beleive it to be the way it goes. Dream Theater : love the music but the singer and his voice ,well out of respect lets just say I would love them if they had Maynard. Rush : I love Geddy as I grew up on it but the voice is out of date and too nasally for today. You get the point. <br> As far as backup vocals I'm not too concerned and don't really care one way or the other. If you can sing backup cool but not an issue. <br> I have great song ideas but need to collaborate with others that have a strong lyrical talent so experience with lyrics is a definite weak point for me and a major plus if you have alot of talent there. More so a singers problem to me but I guess that attitude is why 'm not so good. Like I said I have alot of awesome ideas. <br> Lastly, I want to addressthat I'm not concerned with hurrying up and playing out. I want to concentrate on writing and screw the pressure. I'm down to earth and patient so don't respond if you are all about "getting out there" hence the term "project"...............We'll get there if we get there. <br> <br> Send me a response to this add if interested and leave me your info and I'll get back to you........Peace <br> <br> ]]>

<![CDATA[GUITAR & MUSIC LESSONS with <b>SCOTT SAWYER</b>. Now booking for September 2010 and beyond.<br><br> Effective August 2010, Scott joins the Faculty at East Carolina University (Greenville, NC) part-time where he will be teaching applied jazz guitar and coaching combos. As a result, limited evening slots (after 6pm) remain. <p>On-Line Newsletter is <a href="http://www.scottsawyer.net/news.htm" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">here: </a></p> <br><br>(From Scott): Since 1980, music has been my full-time endeavor/career. I continue to perform actively, as a bandleader and sideman, and am currently accepting a limited number of students for individual instruction. For about 30 years, I've enjoyed helping others with their music; instructing many guitarists (from beginners to notable "experts"), other instrumentalists (including pianists, bassists and horn players) and singers. Whatever your level of experience/expertise -- beginning, intermediate to "professional/expert" -- I can likely help you advance your music.&nbsp;<br><br> Singer/songwriters: I can assist you with arranging & production ideas as well as interpretation.<br><br> I'm setup to record sessions and can provide them to you at no additional cost (you provide a jump drive or USB memory stick). <br><br> Sessions take place in my home (North Raleigh, near RDU/Crabtree/Brier Creek)..or I might be able to your home as schedules allow (additional fee will apply, e-mail me for details). <br><br>In addition to instructing, I continue to perform & record regularly. I have a great deal of gigging & touring experience both here and abroad; from major festivals and music venues to coffeehouses, clubs and the funkiest dive bars. I've had the good-fortune of performing & recording with many notable musicians...numerous recording credits including a Grammy-Nominated feature on Nnenna Freelon's "Shaking Free" (Concord,1997). <br><br>I'm comfortable performing in a variety of settings, from solo guitar to larger ensembles (including uncommon instrumentation).My latest album (CD) "Go There" charted on XM Radio "Beyond Jazz" (Jan 2007) and features bassist Oteil Burbridge (Allman Brothers Band), keyboardist Kofi Burbridge (Derek Trucks Band) and drummer Kenny Soule (Dag, Nantucket). I appear on new albums by Nnenna Freelon, Lois Deloatch and Bruce Piephoff, with additional recordings slated for release in the months ahead. <br> <br>Styles include jazz (standards, be- bop, post-bop/modern, chord melody, solo guitar), blues (accent on Chicago electric blues), funk, rock, r&b, roots, latin, pop, slide, twang. I can shed some light on a variety of subjects including improvisation, accompaniment styles ("comping"), technique, arranging, writing/developing your own songs and production ideas. I have a great deal of experience working closely with singers (arrangements, lead sheets, interpretation). <br><br> <b>NO EMPTY SCALE EXERCISES.</b> All the "music theory" in the world won't help you become a better musician, unless you understand how to make music with the information. As a musician, my goals include being able to express myself freely and fluently...to play what I hear...and to hear what I want to play. I can help you do the same: there is more than one way to get from point A to point B...my approaches vary according to the individual student's experience, goals and needs.<br><br> If you want to catch me performing "live", here's where to find me: <a href="http://scottsawyer.net/calendar.htm" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://scottsawyer.net/calendar.htm</a> <br>###<br><br> ...<b>from Bass Player Magazine</b> <i>(June 1, 2009; Chris Jisi)</i><br> CJ: What else is on tap for you this year?<br> OTEIL BURBRIDGE: The Allman Brothers Band will continue what's being called the "40 Years of Highs and Lows" tour, with some west coast shows, all part of a 60- date U.S. tour.

<![CDATA[I teach guitar, bass guitar and piano at the Neighborhood Academy of Music in Clayton, Amazing Tone Music in Falls River Town Center on Durant Rd and Accelerando Music Academy in Knightdale. Currently, I have openings for new students who are wanting to increase their musical skills on guitar, bass and piano or others who want to begin their first lessons. I have designed & developed my own materials for guitar (sheets & accompanying CD) which guide students in practicing chord progressions (as relate in musical key), strum/rhythm patterns, scales/melodies in relation to chords and reading music notation. Students that can not read music notation begin simple reading exercises of note recognition, time signatures, note values, eye hand coordination and more. <br> <br> As guitar students advance, they learn the basic open chord forms, power chords and bar chords and soloing techniques. Students learn the notes on the fretboard and the scales that will give students the understanding to play lead guitar over chord progressions. And, students learn songs of their choice as they learn the skills to play these songs. <br> <br> <br> <br> My students have shown much success in these methods of concentrating on developing that essential sense & feel for playing different rhythm styles. Piano instruction is centered on learning to read music notation and music theory as it relates to the student's progress. I am a graduate of Music Education with 23 years teaching experience. My students range in ages from 6 to 55, and I have students at the very beginning of musical studies & others who are playing advanced techniques in folk, country, rock, blues, and classical music. <br> <br> <br> <br> My Lesson Rates in Clayton are $23 for 30 min., $30 for 45 min. & $38 for 60 min. My Lesson rates at Amazing Tone Music are $24 for 30 min, $33 for 45 min & $42 for 60 min. Lesson rates at Accelerano Music Academy begin at $25 for 30 min. As many music schools and acadamies require a contract, I do not. I do ask for a months notice prior to ending of lessons. Please contact 919-553-3439 or chasriff99@aol.com and DO NOT respond to the yahoo email address from which I posted this ad. I seldom check the yahoo address. I look forward to exchanging information and meeting new students.
