Len_derby Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Since you say the aim is to give your vocalist a break, why not take a different approach? One, or more of the rest you take over the singing. I spent years in the 'can't sing' camp. Like most things, it's down to practise and confidence.

lojo Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Assuming the singer is not the guitarist (or drummer) then can they play anything , keys, sax etc ? Just because their having a vocal rest , they still maybe able to join in on the instrumentals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacko Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Theme from Peter Gunn. used to play it to start the second set with my old act. Could never tell whether or not the punters were interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tauzero Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Hocus Pocus by Focus. Probably better remembered than Sylvia. Tricky for your guitarist to play everything that the world's greatest ever guitarist managed to put into it though, but I doubt most people would notice.

karlfer Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 (edited) The following is done just bass, drums, guitard. Instantly recognisable to me (I SO want to do it!)
