Members IsildursBane Posted October 14, 2010 Members Share Posted October 14, 2010 I grew up with what is now classic rock and I play for people that want to hear that music. I would love to hear your version of "Stairway to heaven". I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Bajazz Posted October 14, 2010 Members Share Posted October 14, 2010 As Craig hinted, there are plenty of outstanding solo acts out there touring and selling out 500-1000 seat venues with regularity. How about Tommy Emmanual, Doc Watson, Kris Kristofferson just to mention a few I've worked with recently.When you none of those guys, but just another soloact, you need some tools to get some attention. Often you play at a bar where people are there to talk, flirt and drink, so your potential for getting fans are very small. Getting up from being some background noise in a corner and up to a artist (in the corner) takes a {censored}load of work. You need to be confident on your instrument, and learn hundreds of tunes inside out. But that is only a small portion. The work is in THE SHOW. What the audience see and what they think they hear. As Tom Jackson says: "It's all about the moments" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Bajazz Posted October 15, 2010 Members Share Posted October 15, 2010 Sorry Miket, if I hurt your feelings by saying that I CAN keep a crowd without backing. I also often get feedback on how people appriciate live music and not karaoke acts. Once in a while someone will ask me if I don't use backing when I tell them I only play guitar and sing. I tell them I don't need it, which they will come up and confirm after the show. Keep on rockin' in the free world!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
