Oh and he did
not want me to do
any fills while he played his solo's I told him to
let me know when he
was finished.
How boring for the crowd and the rest of the band. I
am a huge jam fan, but you gotta jam as a band. Not
a fan of ego trips. The best jam bands keep it fun
and cohesive during their songs.
ned in a previous email it is important to do these
things
spontaneously and for the right reasons and I think
that a heart felt
solo can be equally moving weather it is a 15 second
or 20 minute
solo.
Very true. There is a time and a place for just about
anything. The key, for me, is to be on the same page
as a band.
I think it's important to remember that music
is not a
competitive sport it's not about who is the best or
who knows the most
stuff it's art and each artist is different and
special in his or her
own way. You can sit on a store porch and play for
the rest of your
life if you've got it in you to do so. And you'd
probably die happy
too.
Very true for most of us. I think for some, it is a
competition. I guess it depends on what you're trying
to do with your music.
