Members honeyiscool Posted February 6, 2012 Members Share Posted February 6, 2012 I tend to do the whole playing rhythm along with leads thing when I'm playing by myself, often hitting a lot of strings to create drone and volume. I rarely play single notes when I'm playing on my own, unless I'm practicing a scale or whatever. When I have a bassist and a rhythm guitar player, though, I end up doing more straight leads and not try to fill space as much. Honestly, I prefer playing more if it comes down to one or the other, but I enjoy both approaches. Do you play the same or differently when there are other people around?

Members Rell Posted February 6, 2012 Members Share Posted February 6, 2012 For some reason I stick to the basics when I'm alone. When I'm jamming with friends things get a bit more droning and abstract and I actually try out key changes and whatnot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members photon9 Posted February 6, 2012 Members Share Posted February 6, 2012 I play my own stuff a lot when I'm alone. It tends to be fairly complicated usually so I don't bother trying to get other people to learn it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members yzfou Posted February 6, 2012 Members Share Posted February 6, 2012 Can you explain? Not really because after that part I close my eyes, bite my lip, and let the "stranger" work her magic. It's one of those "you had to be there" thing. but nobody's ever there, otherwise I wouldn't have replied to your thread duh!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members rock-lobster Posted February 6, 2012 Members Share Posted February 6, 2012 He plays a lot of Billy Joel tunes, of course. I lol'd. Unless I'm practicing school-related music stuff I'm usually trying to write when I play alone these days. Then again that school stuff eats up a good half of my play time these days. So I guess usually, I'm either writing or practicing when I play alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
