Members richey888 Posted September 15, 2012 Members Share Posted September 15, 2012 ...."Oh sure friend, I can do a solo guitar bridal intro and outro piece at your wedding this Saturday...." Been on YouTube for a week now, almost have it, but am scared {censored}less I will botch their big day. Anyone else have the wedding bell blues?? No acoustic (which wouldn't be heard anyway without a PA which there ain't), just me, an amp and my nerves. Oy. HELP!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaleH Posted September 15, 2012 Members Share Posted September 15, 2012 Just do a nice simple finger picking piece on the electric. Something that's 4 bars and repeat. You can end it at any time with a full strum and fade out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members billythegoat Posted September 15, 2012 Members Share Posted September 15, 2012 I was recently apart of a wedding. However all I did was stand,walk, smile and link arms with a pretty girl. My not so serious advice..pre-record it on a looper and fake it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Pope on a Rope Posted September 15, 2012 Members Share Posted September 15, 2012 Just picture everyone naked... There might be children at this wedding. So that would be kind of creepy if there were children there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members MDLMUSIC Posted September 15, 2012 Members Share Posted September 15, 2012 Just make sure you pick songs that are appropriate for the occasion. I remember one wedding I played where the bride and groom each requested that I play and sing their favorite songs as they walked down the aisle. Her favorite was "My Way" which starts out "And now the end is near, and so I face the final curtain." The groom requested "Release Me" ("Please release me, let me go, for I don't love you anymore"). They were paying me, so I played them. Got a lot of weird looks from the people in the seats. I have no idea if that marriage is still going strong or not.

Members poolshark Posted September 15, 2012 Members Share Posted September 15, 2012 Yep, just fingerpick pretty chords. Bonus points for recognizable structures, and add a little tremolo if you swing that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members richey888 Posted September 15, 2012 Author Members Share Posted September 15, 2012 This. Simple and all that is needed. My only gigs have been weddings and it works. Well yeah, while they're being seated, but I gotta do the Mendelsohn stuff....you know, the march. Am franticically learning as we speak. Gulp!
