Hey Hip Doodies – You Too Can Lay Down Some Whack Beats

LoopMash Free by Steinberg

I realise that I am stuck in the past musically speaking and so Soundcloud has been a revelation to me. There are 10 million users and counting. It is already the next big thing. For me, the most glaring ear opener, so to speak,  is the prevalence of house, dub step and hip hop music. It would be hard to estimate but the majority of music on Soundcloud would be of these  kinds of genres. Now I would hazard a guess but music software must be at the forefront of this revolution. Anyone can be a musician these days whether you play a traditional instrument or not. So if you have an iPhone then Steinberg has this tricky little app that is based on its LoopMash VST. The old Bagster rates it at 4/5 rubber chickens and if your too lazy to read the instructions then watch this video;

From Jimi to BB

Marc Silber (owner, the Fretted Instruments Shop) ; “Once I asked him for advice on who to study electric blues from, Jimi said, ‘It’s only a matter of the three Kings.’ I remember thinking this was some sort of Christian reference but eventually I realised he meant Albert King, Freddie King and B.B. King.

If you click on the Gibson on the right; B.B. King describes how he came to name his guitar Lucille.
