Norris Posted December 3, 2016 Posted December 3, 2016 In my trio the guitarist is usually singing, so I see it as kind of my job to provide a smidgen of movement on stage. Nothing too crazy - wander about a bit, maybe tap my foot, or even jig about a bit if the occasion suits. A good bass stance is always handy, as is the occasional dip of the headstock on the accents. Steady now. Quote

floFC Posted December 4, 2016 Posted December 4, 2016 [quote name='Twigman' timestamp='1480672676' post='3186231'] I went to see The Cure again last night. Simon Gallup has the poses...he also skips about the stage in fits and starts....i have no idea how he manages to not miss a beat (other than the fact his basslines are simple)...the way he looks like he's trying to push his bass into the floor all the time impresses me. just saying [/quote] Quote

Unfortunately the sound, bass in particular, was rubbish. But he was a good example of giving something to look at when the rest of the band is mostly static; which helps with making it a great show (in this case despite the sound). Quote

Damonjames Posted December 4, 2016 Posted December 4, 2016 [quote name='blue' timestamp='1480540809' post='3185308'] I look like a "tool" in my bands videos. While playing I thought my moves looked cool. When I saw the video, I looked like an old guy humping an invisible bear. Blue [/quote] Oh Blue.... we GOTTA see this lol Quote
