Re: What would you do? (22 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
It can be a difficult decision to make .On a bigger scale ,but still with the same relevance,my band we to play support to two very big bands at a festival ,but due to the egos said bands who I wont name ,our slot was cut .The other support band a UK based tribute ac had arived with out any instrument as the organisers had prommised to supply them.The organiser had the nerve to ask if we could lend them ours as we would not be playing.
My answer. F###k off.
How ever among freinds the answer would have been use mine.

Re: For No One (13 replies, posted in Bands and artists)
Thanks for the comment K.I might addit into my boxing day set at the village pub ,unless I can find an Rc 3 looper then Ill play the whole set electric .Its difficult to know what acoustic songs to include to pad out a 50 min electric set to two hours ,my current looper only holds 11 tracks ,so that plus the 3 in my trio only gives14 and its not enough.

Re: Any tips/Adive about playing in a band? (11 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Just thought dont play to loud its easy to get carried away with volume you need to be able to hear each other clearly then you will become tighter and soon be able to anticipate what each othe will do if you stray from the pattern.Concentrate on beginings and endings a disaster in the middle can often be covered up .

Re: Any tips/Adive about playing in a band? (11 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Decide what you will play get one member to play it through just the rythm. Then you all know whats suposed to happen .Dont be phased if some one says the original or sombodys version doesnt go like that.unless you are a tribute act it doesnt have to be identical ,put your own stamp on what you do.
Make sure you are all in the same tuning and know what key your playing in also its in the right key for the singer.Be aware that the singer may want to go up or down a key so prepare your self for that.I remember one band I played with and the singer turned to me as we were about to start the first number and said we'll play this in f sharp tonight which completly threw me and it took me a verse to figure out where the song was going and where to play the lead breaks.Most of all practice all your songs prior to rehearsal so you know whats going on and if possible record your sessions so you can see how you progress.Good luck and I look forward to hearing you

Re: Digitech Trio (60 replies, posted in Guitars and accessories)
I've found that it can be easy to make mistakes with it and for that reason I wont use it live unless I pre record the tracks .However it is a great practice tool and I use it daily. I think the effects are a bit basic and I also prefer to use it through a second amp or through the auxiliary channel of my line 6 spider 4

Topic: Cheap NGD (8 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Just by chance today I came across a Squier Strat in a junkshop with a sign on it saying needs attention and a price tag of £5 .Quicker than a speeding bullet I was in there asking what's wrong with it . The vendor said its missing some electrics ,to which he showed me the back of the guitar ,the plate covering the whammy bar springs was missing exposing the insides. Ok I said handed him five pounds and left before he changed his mind .Got home re stung it plugged in sounds great , sure theres a few dings and knocks but five pounds for a guitar that was £160 new got to be a bargain .
