I played out again on Tuesday. It was fun, but I was as sloppy as the roads were that night. Even though it was a good time, it made me want to play a lot better in the future.

YO FY!!! Just saw this thread, I am assuming you were at The Brickhouse on Sunday night? Yes? No? Maybe So?
Ya gotta let me know if you are going there, or anywhere for that matter, for an open mic night, we'll meet up. A bud of mine is breaking my chops to do an open mic here in Sayville (Thursday nights @ Taste on Main Street). Been super busy with work, trying to get down there. Sundays at The Brickhouse is the best, mainly blues players. Give me a heads up for the next one, my Strat & Blues Jr. travel well............or if your going acoustic, the JF55 will make the trek.........

It just occurred to me that I’ve been playing for 40 years (and still mediocre). Also, I’m a Rat, so 2008 is a double landmark year for me.
West – I had similar experiences. When I played bass in a rock band, I fell into the habit of watching the drummer, to help me keep time. The bandleader rapped my knuckles for that.

I hear ya, Hamhand. I haven't learned yet how to take audio from the mixer and use it as the soundtrack on my videos. Working on it, though. In the meantime, the audience ambience should give open mic players an didea of what they will sometimes have to overcome.Hamhand said:Man I wish there was a mute for the audience......just saying.
Kind words. Thank you!BluesDan said:Love your version of "Fields of Gold". Outstanding.

as a bassplayer, what is wrong with this?
when I play on our open stage in hamburg http://www.yamanjamsession.de I always watch the drummers bassdrum foot. especcially when I don't know the drummer or he or she is really good. since light is faster than sound it helps a lot to play much "tighter". and probably nobody in the audience is watching the bassplayer - beside other bassplayers :wink:
