SarahC Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 Tonight I am playing a show at a pizza place my friend works at. I have never played a serious gig in my life, only one or 2 songs at open mics and talent contests, so, anybody have any advice? My set list is below. Songs with astericks are originals. Thanks so much... I am very excited! Pieholden SuiteTerrible Vision CloudsJesus Etc.

SarahC Posted June 7, 2008 Author Share Posted June 7, 2008 Bel Air is an okay song to play...dunno why I didn't think of it. I will keep it in my head in case I run through all those and need more to play. I saw the Black Crowes last night A-Man and I thought of you Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SarahC Posted June 7, 2008 Author Share Posted June 7, 2008 I know. Yeah, I thought they were really good. The mix was pretty horrible though. Treble was waaaaaaay too high. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mountain bed Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 Knock 'em dead Sarah! The only advice I would offer is that usually for the first song or two I'm pretty anxious, so I like to start with something I can play in my sleep (or drunk ). After I get acclimated it's fun! Again, best of luck and have a great time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

chisoxjtrain Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 Congrats on another gig Sarah! Just wondering: How do you play On & On & On? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SarahC Posted June 16, 2008 Author Share Posted June 16, 2008 on the "low rider" reference A-Man. The trombone section of my high school band arranged that song for the section, and it was always so fun. I play "On and On and On" based off of that solo acoustic tab that was posted in the tab section, but instead of capo on 5 I capo on 1 to sing it better. My register is higher so a lower capo works well. I also played around with the chords. It's more of an interpretation... I will see if somebody can video a bit of it friday that i can post.
