  1. It's a real pleasure to be the first to leave feedback for Lawrence.

    Lawrence sold me his Limelight Jazz in a deal that involved some trust. I won't go into details, but Lawrence has earned both my respect and gratitude :) a real gentleman indeed

    A huge thank you Lawrence, for both the deal and a great bass. If I'm up that way again I'll buy you a beer

    All the best

    Tom

    At gigs where the audience isn't really interested we tend to mess around musically, putting in accents, rhythms and recurring themes to keep ourselves amused. Nothing that the punters would notice unless they were actually listening of course. It can make a dull gig fly by and have us in stitches

    This is the kiddie, excellent approach

    It sounds like it could be an issue regarding relative pitching. Good singing is largely a mental process (no doubt, some will disagree...), and if you've heard yourself back through the monitors to be able to pitch correctly initially, you should be able to retain the memory of the relative pitch.... If, on the other hand, you could not "align" yourself to start with (i.e. you were not sure where the note you were singing "should" be pitched), then it sounds plausible that you will be off-key when you can finally hear yourself, having not previously established a link between your vocal pitching and the other instruments. I guess just to add to that, securely knowing where the pitches without simple reference is hard and may take years of practice!!

    This sounds like a possibility. Don't forget that while you're singing, you're listening to the other band members, playing yourself etc.
    So there's some multi - tasking going on, while you're attempting to do what so many have told you not to. Some singing lessons may help ?

    Best wishes for solving this :)

  4. Si sold me a mini strat. The package was thoughtfully put together and arrived in A1 condition. You can tell when someone puts care into what they do and Si's package was a demonstration of that idea in action

    Definately recommeded :)

    Cheers Si
