hmmm, i've seen a lot of live bands who uses scores/tabs on stage and i dun think there's anything wrong with tt. and i'm not talking bout obscure unknown bands but well respected bands who have been playing for years and playing for a living. been to places like timbre, hard rock, clarke quay and i see loads of bands using scores.
Its usually a case where there is a player who is better at a certain aspect of guitar playing - so let him do most of that.
I see it as role allocation. Nothing wrong with that - husband and wife have a role to play, no one is more important than the other and both go hand in hand to make a wholesome family, right?
Mutual understand and excellent relationships are extremely tough to find. When you find one person who gels with you musically - my advice - STICK TOGETHER.
I'm blessed to have a bass player who is able to read my mind and vice versa. A lyricist/singer/songwriter who just ... works magic when I get to work with him, its such an amazing experience to see how we churn out musical ideas at such a prodigious rate.
I totally agree! It's just an amazing experience writing songs together, and somehow scary that we know each others next moves.
i always wondered as a member in a audience. would you be turned off if,
the music is good, but stage presence isnt
emphasis on a hardrock genre.
Well yes and no.It'd would be pumping adrenaline if the performers are not just playing their thing but totally enjoying it as well.On the other hand if the music is good but there is zero stage presence,you'll just have to close your eyes till the gig's over.hehe :lol:
I had an interesting experience during a recent performance...
The mic was passed to the Emcee of the day... the mic cable ended up trailing across my pedalboard for some odd reason.
When the band got on to play the next song with the much-needed-to-feed-guitarist's-ego-solo... geez, my solo boost was monster loud!
Cable trailed over my pedalboard, and shifted the knobs on my clean boost.
Good thing nothing got damaged (the Goosonique Boosty is a very loud pedal) and no one got uh... offended.
Gah.

heh, cant be a full fledge geetarer if the solo aint painfully loud for once!
to top that, you need to drown every one out on the next show! Show them whos the boss! Occassionally, turn back and stare at the rest of the band, giving them the pissed look as if they are playing too loud and should really tone down!

Like HELL YEAH... now THAT's a TRUE guitarist!!!!!
Sadly.. I'm the one that the soundman/bandmates keep asking to turn up the volume... why they want me to be so loud? Don't they know, guitarists are on a different level?!
