Great thread!

I'm gonna say that my favs are...

- Livin on a Prayer

- Hypermusic by Muse

- Sgt. Baker by Primus

and of course Chalkdust Torture

I love the Dixie Chicks with all my heart!

(there's yer trouble...)

The real question is, I wonder how many of em are bass players! hehe

This band is amazing, check them out!!!

I would use an F# major scale.

That is going to sound like absolute and total shite

C7 is the 5th chord in the key of F

F# major is a half step up from there! It will sound like hell to use an F# maj scale.

I'm a bassie, so... C7 gives a ton of options. I find that 7 chords lend themselves to the use of a lot of passing tones.

I would probably base my bassline around the C mixolydian scale (same notes as F maj scale)

But I would use copious tasty passing tones such as:

- hammering on to the maj 3rd from the minor 3rd

- using the 'blue note' (F# in this case - the flat 5)

- chromatic runs from the 6th to the high root or the maj 3rd to the 5th

- rare strategic use of the natural minor 6th (G# in this case) also applies, especially to create tension

- easing back to the root note on a 1-beat by playing a flat 2 on the 4-beat

It is said that after the root, the 5th and the dominant 7th are the most emotive/powerful notes in a dom 7th tonality. Trey must've taken that lesson too cuz he used em to serious effect!

bass lessons anyone?

That's pretty much my assessment of everything he's come out with since The Final Cut.

w..w..w..w..whaaat?

division bell has some sublime moments! high hopes? keep talking? and momentary lapse has some classic moments too.

besides, like gilmour had ANYTHING to do with the final cut except for laying down a couple guitar solos he probably only showed up for the last 3 days of recording at the studio

how do you guys like the new album? i think it's absolutely fantastic - pretty mellow, but i love it. "on an island" is super catchy and has amazing harmonies. anyone else?

So what, you're gonna follow people around, smelling their shit, looking for a lawsuit - and when you find a target, take a sample of their stool to your lawyer?

Sounds like a fantastic money-making venture!

Veda Hille - Spine

Santana - Lotus

Harry Chapin - Greatest Stories Live
