And the sad thing is he could probably make a whole new fortune just on the Grecian Formula endorsements!

HI SG: In that vein my absolute favorite is a more recent one, "I Will Posess Your Heart". In fact somewhere recently I mentioned not being able to remember anything from the past decade I've actually wanted to learn but I'd forgotten about this one.

Glad you like it SG! If you are interested in Death Cab for Cutie, you may also want to check out Ben Gibbard's (lead singer) alter ego band Postal Service. Same feel but more electronic. One song "Such Great Heights" is the main song in all those UPS white board commercials.

If mistakes occur, try and avoid saying 'oh sh*t' (but speaking personally I never can stop myself :roll: ), but in many instances, the audience won't even notice anyway as probably most won't be musicians listening.

Very good point. Always ignore mistakes, never acknowledge them. And here's a tried and true performing "trick".... If you do make a mistake, at the first opportunity, do it again. Audience will think it's supposed to be that way.

Do it twice and they'll think it's Jazz :wink: Good luck for this week-end - hope it all goes well and looking forward to hearing all about it

Last Night at the Royal Oak, one of my three songs was 'Lonesome death of Hattie Carrol' - and I couldn't rember the chord sequence in the chorus for the first 3 choruses But I actually managed not to say 'oh sh*t' and hopefully
the audience just thought it was some interesting harmonic effect :roll: Got it right for the final chorus

Steffan - I'm sure I will be impressed by your playing - whereas you will only be impressed by my lack of ability :mrgreen:

Re: Do Guitars,Planes, and Vegas make a tasty Cocktail?

Well I am back and we have a new married couple. The wedding was a beautiful hit. Outdoors by the pool, intimate setting and very low key. As I am not a fan of guitar pickups (too artificial of a sound for me) non of my guitars have electronics. Due to this, I got there early when the sound guy/DJ was setting up so we could get some microphones and a simple sound check to address any feedback issues. As everybody gathered in, they faded out the background music and I chimed in. I have to say I was nervous the whole trip, but a couple of words in and I began to loose the jitters. I did make one major biff (in my opinion). On the last verse of Hallelujah, the photographer came over and snapped a picture. I glanced at her as I heard the camera click and I lost my concentration. The vocals were fine, but the chord progression for about 4 measures was out of wack and it took me a while to get back on track. Everybody I talked to afterward said they didn't notice so I guess nobody caught it. Good thing! Everybody had a great time and the whole weekend was a success.

Oh, no problems with flying and there was plenty of space for the guitar in the overhead compartment. I am positive that a dread could fit up there with no space issues. The plane was a 737.

Thanks everyone for the helpful hints.

:wink: WELL DONE RIDGE!!! sounds like it all went down very well...You are now MORE able to do lots of the same in the future! ....and Now youre a Vegas veteren! :lol:

Re: Do Guitars,Planes, and Vegas make a tasty Cocktail?

Way cool and very nicely done. Glad it all went well.

 

[bluesypicky]

Well done Ridge, and as far as the jitters, even the most experienced pros still say they feel them as much as they did earlier in their carreer, so chances are you'll feel them again (you know when you book the madison square garden and all....) :wink:
But at least now you know that it's just a matter of going past the first few chords...
Glad you had a good time and the guitar made it safe in the overhead.

 

[JerryR]

So now you've had your public performance baptism, there will be no stopping you

 

[adorshki]

That's it, you now have a legitimate reason to ban the photographers, just like they do at a real rock concert! :lol:
