I'm not sure what you were refering to in terms of Bach, so I'm not sure what you would like to be enlightened about.

Certainly if you are claiming that Bach developed modern tuning then you are quite wrong; Bach didn't even favour equal temporament.

Have I got entirely the wrong end of the stick?

You are talking about tuning are you not?

And if so you are quite simply wrong.

Explain.

Some fucking rabbit's been comparing rock to art made by children and saying as such it's unworthy of analysis and criticism, unlike jazz and classical, which, according to the rabbit are more sophisticated forms that, apparently, have clear-cut rules (who knew?!?) and adult-style sophistication, making their analysis, in stark contrast, a worthwhile venture. Oh, and rock musicians as a rule cant play. And classical folks are really good at covering "Tighten Up" by Archie Bell and the Drells.

Yep, that's about it.

It's a bunch of idiots (me included) hosting a pissing-match titled:

"Is rock and roll better or worse than lasagne made by the stooges?"

We are trying to ascertain who is Hulk Hogan and who are the 14 who have been hospitalised.

Explain what?



The history of modern tuning?

Are you kidding?

I've read entire books on the subject...

***edit; should have written 'entire books have been written on the subject. I don't mean to give the impression that I am an expert!!

Please.
