Members mr3lions Posted February 10, 2018 Members Share Posted February 10, 2018 *maybe a double post as my fat fingers can hold a guitar but have trouble with a phone. Haven't posted here in4-5 years and wasn't a regular contributor then. Played in bands for years then did solo/duo acoustic gigs. Stopped when it became "work" and I found I was constantly pushing for the next gig. Everytime I watch friends play I miss it and when the drummer from my last band passed a few months ago I decided it was time.So, I'm practicing away, enjoying myself and I decided I'm going to stick to afternoon gigs (wineries, patios, etc)Got some solids leads on gigs from guys that booked me before so that is covered. Interestingly the hardest part has been finding people to jam with. First I thought I'd do a duo to build up my confidence but friends and ex-bandmates have been really spotty. So I'm back to being a solo act. Although I'm positive when I start posting gigs I'll get the "Hey we were supposed to play together calls" lol Anyway, I'm back.P.s. thank god I downloaded OnSong years ago. Blew me away when I saw it was $27 cdn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators daddymack Posted February 10, 2018 Moderators Share Posted February 10, 2018 Welcome back, mr3lions! Yeah, I was looking to put a duo together, but many 'band' guys think it is too much work...so I went solo. I do duo work on occasion as a side man for other people, but no one wants to be my sideman...seems unfair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members steve mac Posted February 11, 2018 Members Share Posted February 11, 2018 Good to see you again, agree on the OnSong but if you haven't upgraded in a while you will be amazed at the improvements . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mr3lions Posted February 11, 2018 Author Members Share Posted February 11, 2018 The biggest improvement I need at my age is the ability to increase the font! Seriously, as I've tried new songs in a variety of keys I've found the ability to change key in a second very cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Pat'sStrat Posted February 11, 2018 Members Share Posted February 11, 2018 Ultimate Guitar is pretty good too, I use that more than Onsong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Notes_Norton Posted February 12, 2018 Members Share Posted February 12, 2018 I started a duo in 1985 with a singer I stole from another band, and we've been happily a duo since 1985 and still gigging. If you find the right person, it can be a lot of fun, and in a duo, you have someone to share the good times and to lean on when you aren't feeling that well.

Moderators daddymack Posted February 13, 2018 Moderators Share Posted February 13, 2018 nah...more likely worried about my sense of humor... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RoadRanger Posted February 20, 2018 Members Share Posted February 20, 2018 I got OnSong free a few years back when "The Spirit" moved them . I think I actually posted the link here at the time? Anyways only started using it last year when a bug in the iOS DropBox app took them almost a year to fix . The reason I never started using it was I was waiting for V2.0 to come out "Any Day Now" - still waiting LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mr3lions Posted February 20, 2018 Author Members Share Posted February 20, 2018 I originally downloaded it for free after a recommendation on here. I sat on it for the longest time but love it now. So thanks if it was your original post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RoadRanger Posted February 20, 2018 Members Share Posted February 20, 2018 Or maybe I saw it here first and then posted it elsewhere - CRS these days . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
