But... oh what's that saying again? 😁 I'm sure you must be better than you're letting on just to have got the gig. Have you gigged on guitar before or is this a first? Yeah I’ve gigged on lead guitar before, ironically some 25 years ago doing punk covers with the singer/guitarist of this new band. But I’ve still got to learn many of the solos and some of the songs themselves hence me saying still gotta learn how to play. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky it’s not a Rush tribute band. 😀 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted April 12, 2023 Author Share Posted April 12, 2023 So an update to this, sadly due to my back getting worse I’ve had to leave the band, the day after our last gig I could barely move. Am gutted, this band was a bucketload of fun, with guys I’ve known for years, I hate letting people down but my osteopath has advised it’s the best move. I’ve no idea if it will get better over a period of treatment but just couldn’t be in that kind of pain all the time so had to make this decision. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though I personally prefer the sound of my Epiphone SG, I recognize that I tend to play Fender guitars better, so it makes sense to use one for this gig. Plus, the color scheme matches my preferred aesthetic as well. Pictures are essential here 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve-bbb Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 as long as you have "your tone" sorted and can "play by feelz" what could possibly go wrong? 😝 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Lozz, could the Mbrace Stage Guitar Stand be an answer? https://www.imuso.co.uk/itm/mbrace-stage-guitar-stand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything the playing is the part I find the easiest, it’s the carrying the gear (no matter how lightweight) the setting it up with plugging in leads, bending over amps/cabs connecting them up, routing cables for pedalboards along the floor etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily I can still rehearse easy enough as all the gear is in the rehearsal studio, just a case of turning up & plugging in so not stopping playing, can still keep my hand in that way so to speak. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
