juvejazzman SG

all this talk abt blues... anyone here involved in/ interested in/ participate in the local blues scene?

any crazy elephant goers or kolam ayer blues club jammers here?

MooKu SG

me! hee. i'd like to play some blues and maybe perform a little here and there.. but I need to finish with my piano lessons first Mr. Green

juvejazzman SG

whoa go go go! but why the lessons... how far are you into your course? anyway blues piano quite shiok one la, relak no need to follow notes, just impro... then for the high parts just whack the same few notes in triplet-timing... can liao

gotta get the groove.

so u go crazy elephant often?

the Bear SG

dead drummers?

SPINAL TAP!!

muahahahahaahaha Razz

MooKu SG

cos i'm planning for a career in music Smile
i haven't quite started, but I guess I'm somewhere around grade 3-5 now...

yeahh i like playing ad-lib.. it's like, you can just change the music as you like, so long as you keep within the umm, keys and whatever...

juvejazzman SG

career in music!! excellent! all the way! i wish i could do the same... but i'm tied down to the damn airforce.

but anyway music career as a pianist is good prospects coz u do both melody and rhythm. us drummers only do rhythm and thus we ultimately need a band.

got offered a temp job at carnegie's bar but my guitarist couldnt make it, so had to turn it down... real waste... they're interested in the blues scene too so u may wanna check em out, perhaps get a job too...

MooKu SG

tied down..? hmm until when... i'm sure one day you can do the same Smile or you could teach.. like i saw u were looking for students Mr. Green I've got an uncle who's already fifty odd years old, but as he played the electric guitar in a band in his younger days, he's now teaching the electric guitar in a music school Smile it's never too late to start Smile and drumming's such a popular thing among young pple nowadays.. I've got alot of people around me wanting to learn drumming more than playing the guitar Mr. Green you've got good prospects too

i hope one day i don't end up playing in restaurants Laughing

juvejazzman SG

tied down till i'm 30 or so... scholarship lo wat to do... kena brainwash in ocs lor... haiyah...

but cannot regret la at least i've got a job after i graduate. so for now just whack watever music i can first... just performed for peanuts at the singapore marathon. quite fun. was supposed to go jam wif the kolam ayer blues club n thomson cc jazz club but damn no time... u know la... sigh

why not restaurants? if the $$ is good... i guess environment also counts, but at the end of the day, a musician has to survive and if playin at resaturants gets the $$, then by all means. my highest paid gig so far was a jazz gig at some stupid hotel convention, had to wear full suit and play damn soft n constipated... din feel good till the paycheck came... trust me

hey if u have frens who wanna learn drums, direct to me leh! my price negotiable!
