@tyler.durden - are you strictly a classical player, or do you dig playing some of the folky stuff like this, too? I'd love to pick your brain. Are you on ninjam.com, yet? I'm on there as Vag_Discharge, with an acoustic 6 string (and pro mic'd drum kit) if you ever wanna kick it live, or toss tracks back and forth...

I'm really only play classical, but I can sight read really any genre of music well. We do a lot of pop tunes on gigs on which I simply play a the melody straight forward, with perhaps the tiniest bit of improv. I can play Celtic music, folk, country (god forbid) or anything else so long as my part is written out (in treble clef notes, not tabs). This ninjam.com seems interesting, I can't really envision what it would be like to jam with the measures long latency they describe -
Latency in NINJAM is measured in measures, and that's what makes it interesting.
The NINJAM client records and streams synchronized intervals of music between participants. Just as the interval finishes recording, it begins playing on everyone else's client. So when you play through an interval, you're playing along with the previous interval of everybody else, and they're playing along with your previous interval. If this sounds pretty bizarre, it sort of is, until you get used to it, then it becomes pretty natural. In many ways, it can be more forgiving than a normal jam, because mistakes propagate differently.
That must be a real mind fuck! Do you find it workable, and do you really get used to it? I gotta get some sleep, But I'll check it out further in the afternoon...

I tried to get used to the open stream, and it is sort of like they said. You can, but it takes away something at the same time. It's like jamming with an echo or something, reverb'd, lol. But, I really like how there is an option to Private Stream.
Like, I would record a 1/4 beat, and lay fills on top, dick around with the rhythm, and then fire it off to you. Whenever you caught it, you could lay something down on top of it, and send it back, and we would just layer until we had something that sounded decent. Idk, I just like being able to hook up with anyone at anytime day or night who is ready to fuck around. Sometimes you run into people who can really inspire you to take it up a notch, or slow your roll completely.
Idk, I've seen quite a few bands get started this way. Some releasing albums together, without ever even meeting eachother in real life. PERFECT for someone who needs to be stationary at the grow spot all year.
Get some sleep, bro. And, if you are ever down to fuck around, I'll shoot you the rest of my info! <3
Now let's hear that cover again with some fuckin' horns!

We share the same B day as Christopher Lloyd and Shaggy.
My daughter hung out with C. Lloyd at her uncles studio in SB. He was there doing some voice overs. She said he was very weird. She meets all kinds of heads. So jealous but happy

Dude, I dunno about you, but i haven't met too many peeps with our birthday.
The only other i can remember was an old work partner of mine. We were working together framing/hanging board for about a month, getting along killer. He out of the blue said one day "whats your bday". I was like wtf? 10/22. Guess what his bday was. Trippy shit man
