One can get a cheap shit guitar and get pretty good on it. Why the fuck can't I get my hands on a cheap sitar then??? What if I don't want nice carving and beautiful tuning pegs and who-knows-what... just a nice, meat-and-potatoes instrument like the $100 Ranger acoustic that saw me learn how to play guitar?!? |
| Micrówave 11.12.2006 13:00 |
Well, Rogue puts out a $300 one, which for a Sitar is dirt cheap. I have never played a traditional Sitar, just the electric variety. This is a wacky, but cool link, about Sitars: link |
| iGSM 11.12.2006 18:48 |
Can't think of anywhere around Perth where you might get one. There's a bloke down the foreshore of Rockingham who sometimes plays a sitar. Might be worth an investigative looky. |

| john bodega 13.12.2006 08:16 |
Indeed! Can I be forgiven for wanting to get one of these things? I've had a run of luck with stringed instruments lately; I've been hammering out fine tunes on a Turkish oud, a mandolin, a ukulele, and yer regular guitars (of which I have... 'enough' around). Time for the sitar methinks. |
| thomasquinn 32989 13.12.2006 08:23 |
I don't know...it always comes across as being rather a lethally difficult instrument to play, having more strings than China has inhabitants... |
| john bodega 13.12.2006 08:28 |
Sympathetic strings! Just tune them, and forget they're there... my brother in law invented a wonderful resonator thing with that in mind once, it really was a good idea. Can't imagine why he never built it though. In any event, I may well be able to buy one, thanks to that fortuitously timed ad in the Quokka. It's a bit steep for a poor-arse like me, but some things are more important than food, and one of them is sitar. |

Hahha I tried to combat nerves (and a premonition that the sitar was sold already) by sounding relaxed. I think I probably just sounded drunk. I can't get over the way she sounded when she'd 'hung up'. Fucks sake I'm giving her enough money for the thing. She should be thanking me! Then again - if I see it and don't like it, she'll be keeping it. |

You guys are very funny. This would make a great documentary I think - buying a sitar and the characters you run across. Do you think that lady said, "Oh God" on purpose just to be rude? I think she might have known she had not hung up yet. I also get quite nervous on the phone. I looked up sitars here (a couple of days ago). None were listed in the Washington Post. A few were for sale in shops for around $800. Must be a difficult purchase to make. Anyway, sorry for interupting this thread. ha. |
| john bodega 15.12.2006 11:53 |
No problem, I love a discussion. Hehe Sitars are... I dunno. I guess you really can't get a 'cheap' one. $450 AU is an extremely low price, so this is either going to be the ugliest sitar ever (replete with DUCT TAPE and rusty strings), or they are naively selling something they don't know the true worth of. She admitted on the phone she had no idea about sitars. So I'm going into this completely blind! |
| iGSM 15.12.2006 19:08 |
*turns out it is the same sitar that George Harrison once played* Take loaaaaaads of pictures if you buy it. I ain't never seen a sitar.. in Australia! Well except for that one I've already mentioned...that doesn't count. |

At least nice enough to learn on! |
| iGSM 16.12.2006 01:26 |
Heh, I think I saw a total of 5 TAFE bands - yours, mine (both), that one with the bloke who had his eyebrows tattooed on and that bass player who was fairly good. They did a cover of My Generation - complete with the bass solo. I think his name was Andy? Mmm, cool though there were some shit bands there. Absolute shit. Chad and I were 'jamming' (I'd say he was the one jamming. I was just nodding my head in time with him) one day and heard this terrible, terrible noise from the next rehearsal room. We just looked at each other and laughed. Then I hit him and didn't stop hitting until I saw blood. |
| john bodega 16.12.2006 12:35 |
AHA! You're thinking Glissendorf, the band that Andy played for. Actually, those are the guys that used a sitar in the 3rd term performance they did. Chad... haha. I was in a rehearsal room with him in the 2nd last week with one of the guys from Glissendorf and and we jammed on songs by The Who. In Chad's words, I 'almost' sung Baba O'Riley. Well.... considering I've never sung into a PA before, I wonder if I should take it as a good thing?? Haha. Sitar shopping in the afternoon tomorrow. Ooooh. I hope it has a case. The woman who's selling it basically has had it as an ornament collecting dust, so while it might be a pretty thing to look at, it's probably got shitty strings on it. I guess I'll see tomorrow. |

Ah yes, Glissendorf. That's them. I always forgot the name because, well, I'm lazy and only managed to remember the name of my bands - The Vegetable Patch and Tavae (in which we were technically just session musicians). Also Runway and The Bigness ring a bell but I'm mentally lazy. I was kicking the shit out of myself for not seeing more of your band. I only seem to remember you belting out the We Will Rock You solo (which did indeed rock me). I seem to recall a saxaphone somewhere. Maybe I dreamt that up? |
| john bodega 16.12.2006 22:19 |
"I hope it goes well. Will be interesting to hear the details." Here's hoping! I really want one. Basically - the thing is mine if I want it, I suppose it's just a matter of if it seems any good when I see it later today. "Ah yes, Glissendorf. That's them. I always forgot the name because, well, I'm lazy and only managed to remember the name of my bands - The Vegetable Patch and Tavae (in which we were technically just session musicians). Also Runway and The Bigness ring a bell but I'm mentally lazy." Hehe. Glissendorf won themselves 2nd place at the end of year band competition, even though they lost points for doing a cover. During "My Generation" they threw in lyrics about getting points taken off. It was hilarious. I jammed with the drummer from The Bigness... and believe it or not, I could've poached him a few weeks before that band formed and I *DIDN'T* DO IT! He is a seriously fun guy to play with, he's like Mitch Mitchell and John Bonham had a baby. He reckons my behind-my-head playing is better than the Hendrix guy he used to play with. Hehehe. "I was kicking the shit out of myself for not seeing more of your band." Oh.. you know, I'd say WWRY was probably the highlight, dude. Haha. We also did 2 songs written by the others, and at the start we played Girl You Want, which went down like Paris Hilton... link And for good measure : link " I seem to recall a saxaphone somewhere. Maybe I dreamt that up?" I heard there was a saxaphone player at TAFE, however we didn't have one. We had a guy called Tully, playing French horn. Close enough? Hehe. |
| iGSM 16.12.2006 22:46 |
Aaah, French horn. What a dork I am. Heh, was the WWRY clip also put up on YouTube because I'm sure you could see me towards stage left (I'm pretty sure I learnt something from Gus). I liked that because I thought 'Shit! I could've played trumpet'. I still don't know what possessed me to sing. Bastards. Let It Be was sort of chosen and I said 'I'LL SING IT! I'm not having the girls sing it'. I wanted to do Till There Was You, actually. I loved that song. I would have ripped it. Plus I can play that little solo. Tee-hee. I liked the Glissendorf drummer except I can not recall his name or his appearance. I were lazy at TAFE. I have to say those lights annoyed the living shit out of me. How'd you manage to get your footage? Pretty roxxor actually. Nice to see that new stage being used. |

"Heh, was the WWRY clip also put up on YouTube because I'm sure you could see me towards stage left (I'm pretty sure I learnt something from Gus)." I haven't put it up, I figured it was kinda short... but maybe I will. Heh. "I still don't know what possessed me to sing. Bastards. Let It Be was sort of chosen and I said 'I'LL SING IT! I'm not having the girls sing it'. I wanted to do Till There Was You, actually. I loved that song. I would have ripped it. Plus I can play that little solo. Tee-hee." Nah I remember being really happy that someone was playing Beatles. "I have to say those lights annoyed the living shit out of me." Ugh... yeah. Whats worse is, some Cert IV guy had a projector on his performance with arty footage, and the lighting guy ruined it by continually flashing all the coloured lights. The Cert IV guy looked really pissed off, and kept signalling to kill the lights, but the lighting guy took no notice. "How'd you manage to get your footage? Pretty roxxor actually." Whenever I performed at TAFE I made sure I brought a camera. For the last performance, I actually got Tully to bring HIS camera as well, so I got 2 angle video. I can finally do that wanky thing where you cross-fade from one angle to another. Looks really professional (too bad Tully and Chad took the shakiest footage since the 2004 tsunami). "Also is that Kristen/Kirsten/Miguel playing bass in the President Muff clip?" It is! Hehe. It's been very boring over here since she went for a holiday in Melbourne... she's been an absolute hoot to have around. "Curiously did you ever wear earplugs?" All the time! I would wear them to classes sometimes so I wouldn't forget to get them on in the rehearsal rooms. On that last performance with the Muff, my amp was turned up *criminally* loud. Kristen didn't tell me at the time, but she didn't have her earplugs in, but the thing was apparently ear-piercingly loud. Ah well. Out with a bang, eh?! "Additionally that Disaster in D Major is pretty damn good." Haha, you reckon? I got mega embarrassed when I used a 50 cent piece to do slide stuff, because there was sticky tape still on it that totally ruined the sound. |
| iGSM 17.12.2006 02:37 |
You let Chad on the camera?! Dun, dun, dunnnnnn. Bad decision. Singing Let It Be whilst ""playing"" the bass was a horrible decision. There'd be times where I wouldn't know where I was and start playing something else. Good baptism of fire. I don't think I did too badly and Richard said 'This song is probably just at the top of your vocal register'. Nothing like 'That was shit house'. I was pleased. Too many other songs that would have rocked my bowel to pieces though to count. I suggested Don't Bother Me but noooooo, no one knew it. Bastards. That was when I used that electric drumkit. I don't know how to describe it but 'awesome' AND I DON'T EVEN PLAY DRUMS I stole about 114481949134 ear plugs from there. It was the greatest source EVER. I wish I still had those 'Hero' ear plugs. They were pink and you had to push 'em in and manipulate them in. I don't know what I'm talking about but they were awesome. Yes, I mean that. I wondered what it was you were using...perhaps another pick? I found it quite amusing what that bloke said on YouTube: 'you are like a cross between syd barret and some arabic-influenced shredder'. Quite amusing. Rock on! |
| john bodega 17.12.2006 04:51 |
I have a sitar. :) I'll be putting up pictures once I've cleaned it up. Already I'm really loving the way it feels, all those eastern intervals sound awesome on this thing. "You let Chad on the camera?! Dun, dun, dunnnnnn. Bad decision." There's always a tripod, eh! "Singing Let It Be whilst ""playing"" the bass was a horrible decision.

I don't think I did too badly and Richard said 'This song is probably just at the top of your vocal register'. Nothing like 'That was shit house'. I was pleased." One thing you can count on from TAFE lecturers is an absence of bullshit. They were very honest with me after my performances : "James needs to improve his drumming" or "You should find another band". "Too many other songs that would have rocked my bowel to pieces though to count. I suggested Don't Bother Me but noooooo, no one knew it. Bastards. That was when I used that electric drumkit. I don't know how to describe it but 'awesome' AND I DON'T EVEN PLAY DRUMS" Ahahah - yeah there was a growing list of songs I was desperate to cover at TAFE but never could because the band didn't like them (or simply couldn't manage them). It was my ambition to play things like Won't Get Fooled Again, or Who Are You even.... just, guh I had about 15 songs I had to give up on. Really upsetting. I've learned my lesson - in the next life, I'll just use backing tracks. "I stole about 114481949134 ear plugs from there. It was the greatest source EVER." HAHAH, my schoolbag is still loaded with the things. "Yes, I mean that. I wondered what it was you were using...perhaps another pick? I found it quite amusing what that bloke said on YouTube: 'you are like a cross between syd barret and some arabic-influenced shredder'. Quite amusing. Rock on!" haha... That piercingly high slide part, I wanted to keep it in the song when we played it again, but I hadn't remembered the coin. I couldn't have been more flattered by that guys comment, it cheered me up because I was actually quite disappointed by my own playing. It was nice that someone enjoyed it. Anyway, I've got a sitar to clean! |

Heh. Him: Oh, sorry brother. You: DIE! SELL ME SOMETHING! Don't know why you said that at all. Perhaps you were angry.

IV. Why's that? What was all this 'audio tech' shit everyone seemed to be doing? That'd've confused the living crap out of me. That's why when we were in studio 'Z' (or what ever the bloody number/letter combination was) I just stood the crap out of the control room - although I did say 'Boys, are you buzzing?' humourously and NO one understood me. Was pretty awesome though to hear the fruits of my labour. Yes, the fruits of playing the root note of each chord. Although with that particular song it wasn't! It was good! Mmm, that was my TAFE year in 3 sentences. Incidentally d'you remember 'Rebecca/Bec'? She used to hang out with Klaudia. Anywho, even if you don't, she's dating a bloke my mum works with...in Rockingham! Suprize!! Was there ever a Leederville TAFE MySpace syndicate that I wasn't part of? 'cause if there was...bam! Straight to da Moon! |
| john bodega 19.12.2006 11:57 |
"Curiously - are you naturally hirsuite or did you just give your facial hair time? Yes, odd question but I demand it answered or.. I'll eat this budji" I'd say the 'giving it time' answer would be the correct... I haven't actually shaved. Ever. I think I tried shaving once when I was about sixteen and my mo' was still 50% blonde, (in an effort to get it to grow quicker) but I just gave up. Gave it time. Now look at me. Fucking "Man from Borneo".... "Plus I read you reckon you won't get into Cert. IV. Why's that?" Oh... it's like this, I figure there's a healthy number of people who passed 'everything', whereas most of the people I know passed everything but skipped Richard's class because apparently you can get a certificate, fail Richard's class, as long as you pass Sound Mixing. In any event, I'm pessimistic about getting in, even though I'd just about kill to do so! It scares me that musical deadheads and tone deaf folk will be getting in ahead of me because they passed 'everything' as opposed to taking the skipping-Richard option I took. "What was all this 'audio tech' shit everyone seemed to be doing? That'd've confused the living crap out of me." I loved sound mixing, and figuring out how to record shit was fun! I only wish I'd had an excuse to dick around in the studio more often. "although I did say 'Boys, are you buzzing?' humourously and NO one understood me." Ok, that makes me cry... I would've gotten that joke when I was *8* for fucks sake! "Mmm, that was my TAFE year in 3 sentences. Incidentally d'you remember 'Rebecca/Bec'?" Not sure... different class from me. Hehe. "Was there ever a Leederville TAFE MySpace syndicate that I wasn't part of?" Oh, you know? Not sure. I used it to contact some of my bandmates, but tried my best to stay out of it. Myspace = bleh... As a matter of fact, I mainly used it to talk to Kristen - everyone else had the decency to just use e-mail! I'll have to bring that up with her when she gets back from her holiday. PS I have made one observation... Early in the year I started a thread entitled 'I need $2000', detailing my quest to get a Burns Red Special. A week later, I *had one*. So I start a thread bewailing the lack of sitar in my possession... I now have a sitar. Is QZ some kind of magic genie!? What else can I get, I wonder! |

Awesome. I'm trying for el Christmas time beard which will impress everyone and I'll just 'give it time'. Heh. I'm still angry I only stayed for 6 months. Really pissed me but it were the parents who were quite 'Don't waste your time with music, argh, har, har'. Apparently they turned in to pirates. Sad but I feel like enrolling again next year and having it so easy with the assignments. That copyright assignment almost made me have babies. Fuckin' Adam Scott..Scott Adam..whatever his name was. I missed out on too much stuff. Damn living in Rockingham! |

"Awesome. I'm trying for el Christmas time beard which will impress everyone and I'll just 'give it time'. Heh." Hehehe, I've no intention of shaving mine off, but I'll have to I suppose, if I need a job next year. "I'm still angry I only stayed for 6 months. Really pissed me but it were the parents who were quite 'Don't waste your time with music, argh, har, har'. Apparently they turned in to pirates." Oh now THAT sucks. My parents didn't give a shit that I was going to Music TAFE - indeed they seemed pleased I was actually doing something, as opposed to Work for the Dole. "I missed out on too much stuff. Damn living in Rockingham!" Eeek! |

Okay dudes, here it is... I finally uploaded something. But you know what? I think I'm actually getting *worse* on this thing! I'm losing that fresh sort of intuitive playing that comes when you first pick up a new instrument. link But anyway! Have fun with that, I'll have to put up another video once I improve a bit.... :\ |

Oh YEAH. Just got into 2nd year Music. Fuck yeah. |

woot! Kick Gus and his 'hip cat' ass outta here..wait, I loved Gus. He was like the music loving father I never had. That actually made me give birth. That was awesome. I think I will have to re-enrol in TAFE just to see you and eye rape you. |

Haahha.. I'm glad to get back in. Now it's just a matter of selling my organs and making enough money to actually pay for it... |
| iGSM 27.12.2006 05:46 |
I'm sure you could just sneak in..or call yourself Vicci Haworth. |
| john bodega 27.12.2006 06:12 |
Hahah. Well its my fault I'm broke, buying that Burns wasn't exactly a bright idea. Still... gotta have a guitar. |
| iGSM 27.12.2006 07:32 |
Can.... I have it? |
| john bodega 27.12.2006 08:12 |
Good lord no chap, for me to sell it, I'd have to make enough on it to get into Cert IV, and buy myself a new Burns! Still, if you're willing to pay that much, then you have a deal! |
