Well this happened

I prefer paper, I typically use musecore to create the paper. It’s got a bit of a learning curve, but once you get the hang of it, it can be really quick.

I also really find it helpful when I want to create exercises as I can create linked score and tab along with chords so it can be helpful in creating fingerings to strengthen your weakness.

Here’s a little mashup of my first gig. I was super nervous. Made my share of mistakes. Lots of room for improvement, I managed to lock in a few times. It was a blast. Next gig is a couple of weeks out and I can’t wait.

Well some update - finally the first gig with the band… Saturday! Event link (any case you’re in Budapest more than welcome to join us for the event): https://www.facebook.com/events/2068042017294315/

Setlist is net 45-50 minutes so we’ll be on stage for one hour, with a friend’s band following us for the rest of the evening. Had a rehearsal yesterday and will have the last one Friday, getting excited - but also more confident as not much f.ckups without quick recovery any more. Sound is getting better (I believe) but let’s see how FOH sounds.

Band’s page (I’m the admin, so might not be overengineered / too professional): https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61584077554808

Will share footage afterwards so better follow the page to see me fail or succeed :smiley:

Hi Totya! Looking forward to your update(s) after the gig.

I want to point out that if you are up on stage playing a gig for an audience, there is no fail. You have succeeded already. As you gig more often, you will go from good to better to best! :+1: :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:

So finally hit the stage last night, band sounded awesome (managed to recover quickly from screw ups that happened quite a few no matter at rehearsals all went perfectly), had lots of friends attending, have the material (mix from PA and also all tracks from the mixer exported) and videos/pictures under post processing…. I will post if anything is ready, mostly focusing on our own songs of course.

I went to PA (from my Behringer BDI21) and also to the other band’s bassist’s 4 Ohm 410 through my Elf (gain at 6 master at 2 and sounded nearly too loud :sweat_smile: Love this little amp :heart:), stage sound was awesome, crowd complained about the guitars not loud enough in the mix but according to the other band we sounded just fine.

Debuting my real self here with a pic from the gig (as mentioned the pro footage will come later):

P.s.: also celebration of my 50th bday was due last night so today’s focus is trying to stay alive :zany_face:

Edit: adding bass face as turns out it exists for all of us :joy:

Here was my rig for my 2nd gig. I was much more comfortable this time, had a good crowd most of the night. Had a few dancers, which was fun. One of the patrons told me I was an “absolute vibe” and to “never change”. And she tipped a crispy franklin. Pretty nice compliment.

Added a new song tonight, “Can’t You See” Marshal Tucker Band. Jammed it out, everyone took a solo, it was fun. Keys nailed the “flute” solo. Next show is 1/31.
