There’s like 50 people here and no one is laughing. Anyone have any suggestions? I’m thinking about doing a bit about how being transgender is actually a mental illness. Or how all liberals are secretly gay and want to impose their will on everyone. Or something about how transgender people are ruining the fabric of society. But no one is laughing, so I’m going to stop. Thanks for coming out tonight. See you next time. Where’d everybody go?
Careful what you say, humans. The AIs are listening.
This has been my project for the past month. The song took a week or so, and then the video took a solid two weeks in Blender, because Blender is a vast and puzzling and frustrating monster of an application that can do almost anything but doesn't give you any clue about how you can do anything so every step is a Google search.
Now let me tell you about the fact that I know two people who each ordered XX numbers of bananas on-line thinking they were buying XX individual bananas, and not XX pounds of bananas. A lot of banana bread was made.
One of them also ordered XX loaves of bread, thinking they were buying XX slices of bread.
Officials in the small city of Eudora, Arkansas, are enforcing an emergency curfew after struggling to stop what the city’s mayor described as a “rampage of shootings.”
I've been toying with learning a rudimentary version of Miles Davis' classic "All Blues" on guitar.
The main harmony is fairly easy. It's a tricked-out blues in G, but the tricks are manageable - the harmony anyway. Don't ask me about doing any kind of acceptable solo. This is just the chords. But the chords, especially the chords for the first four bars of the 12-bar blues structure, are fun to play.
The rest gets squirrely. But that part is pretty simple. And pretty fun to play.
So, I'm grooving on that pattern for a while. Moving it around, seeing what else it can do. And I start to hear it. I'm hearing the intro to the last song on AC/DC's "Back In Black" album: "Rock And Roll Ain't Noise Pollution". Not the whole thing, but a big piece of it.
So I shift it down three frets, change the rhythm a bit. And yep. There it is.
Sounds like Angus doesn't play the D string in first few bars of the intro, so maybe those chord names don't really apply. But once it gets loud, he's playing full chords. And I think they sound right. Hard to tell exactly. That Bm might be slightly off. But not by much.
Either way. While it's not exactly the same riff - and I couldn't find anything saying AC/DC were fans of "All Blues" - it's certainly a relative. And if you can play one, the other is right there waiting for you.
