hi folks i've been reading the messages for awhile, but this is my first post i keep messing around with it, but cannot seem to get the tuning right? thanks in...
... Hiya, happy to help! The tuning is in C minor. From lowest string (in pitch) it goes: CGCGCEb That's an E flat at the end there. The recording is pitched...
When people ask for the tuning of a particular piece, I assume this is because they would like to learn the piece. I am curious about people's experiences and...
For me, the two activities go hand in hand. Finding the correct tuning is the essential first step. Without it you can't go anywhere. Personally, when I start...
Robbie, thanks so much for your thoughtful reply. It is very interesting to see how someone works the material of Basho and his music into his own process. I...
This is really Glenn Jones' big news. In his post of November 26th he mentioned his work on an upcoming release of a live recording from Germany. Released...
this live recording had been circulating on bootleg since 2 years ago, more or less. but apparently there are two recordings made in germany, i think, since ...
Hello Basho-Heads all, The Bo¹ Weavil release is Robbie Basho¹s concert in Bonn, Germany, on November 24, 1980. The recording has been remastered and the...
Thanks so much, Glenn and Ephraem. The review in Dusted is indeed interesting and well reasoned. Thanks for that link. Am I mistaken in thinking that you are...
Well, not about to ³come out with,² but about to record. I¹ve got enough stuff for my third album, and just finished a three week tour of Europe playing...
hi Glenn. about the OTHER Basho recording in BONN: according the few details on the folders of the bootlegs i've seen on soulseek, it seems that Robbie played...
Some time ago I traded some CDRs with someone on the John Fahey list (who may not want his name published) and I had a choice of one Basho CDR so chose the...
Hello Clive, Yes, I have this BFBS recording and drew attention to it on the forum a few months ago and also provided some transcriptions of interviews with...
Hello Robbie and co., I recently discovered this forum and spend an enjoyable evening going through the many insightful posts, the inside stories and the...
Hey Pieter, I'm very glad you have found our modest archive of messages interesting and useful. For me at least, the approaching summer promises a lot more...
Robbie, some of your questions are answered in the notes to the Bonn reissue, which I produced. Bo¹ Weavil laid out considerable funds to put out this album,...
Hello Robbie, Guess you should have bought the Decals CD back in 1991, while it was still around, like I did! (Or the LP in 1971; I was onto it as soon as it...
Hi Robbie, thanks for your quite extensive reaction. A quick reply: Your concerns about the possibly negative impact of freely sharing Basho's music do make...
Dear All, I've just uploaded a recently finished transcription of Babs to the files section. The format is pretty much the same as the Golden Shamrock effort...
Hi all, I've just joined the group. If anyone is interested, I have Rainbow Thunder in lossless FLAC format. Played on a high-end turntable, declicked using...
Hello, I recently joined the group and would love to hear that, as I haven't heard that album before. Thank you for the offer and welcome to the group. kind...
Welcome, both Ryan and Alan. Speaking of which perhaps a newer member of the forum has a line on the two elusive mysterious, self-produced cassettes of...
... I have an MP3 copy of Twilight Peaks, and a CDR copy on the way from another source... I still don't know anyone that has Bouguet though alas. BTW I have...
Hi "artpaws" Thank you for the welcome and I enjoyed your playing. I will watch the rest tomorrow. Congrats on the retirement! I hope that it will allow...
Hi folks, Maybe some of you have come across the guitarist (and violinist, keyboardist, etc, etc) Fred Frith over the years. I suppose for want of a better...
Nice one. I'm not all that familiar with Henry Cow or Fred Frith, but am most interested now. I would guess that "Life on Venus" be the hommage though. Robbie...
On listening to the half minute on samples on iTunes I'd say "Sheep's Head, 1968" was the one, or failing that "King Dawn" or "First Light". "Life on Venus" is...
Dear all, I have added some more tabs to the files sections. The first is a re-scan of Babs after I did some more minor corrections. The second is an all new...
