Pestie Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 I did my 2nd gig on Saturday and followed all of your advice and it was much better, thank you. I had spent the week learning "Brown Eyed Girl" and just about nailed it. Then on the night just as I was going to get my 10 seconds of glory with the short lead part, the singer forgot where we were and starting singing just as I was going to break out! Cor Blimey I was upset. Anyway, another gig in 2 weeks time and with luck I will get more confident as I do them. Thanks again Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave_bass5 Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Glad it almost went well Mike. The more you do the more confident and relaxed you become . I've been playing BEG for almost 10 years now and my singer still gets those bits wrong 50% of the time. Luckily we mange to cover it up. As John says, just wait until you find any gaps in the arrangements getting filled with guitar licks/solos. It'll drive you mad lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogerstodge Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 We used to play "straighten out" by the Stranglers, lovely lead bass bit near the end but the guitards used to drown me out, told em i didnt wanna play the song anymore so we dropped it.
