Blue JC Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 I'm finding myself doing more and more of these types of gigs: key ho for guitar hero bands. Lots of these types of trios in my area - guitar, bass and drums. Guitar hero stands out front, plays most of the leads and sings all of the vocals. I set-up upstage with the bass and drums and groove with the rhythm section. If the volume doesn't get ridiculous, it's an easy gig and I rarely have to even add vocals. Good money and no band BS because I'm not IN their band. Results in a lot of studio work too because I already know most of the material due learning it on-the-gig. I can tell that others here also do this from reading between the post lines. I would be curious to hear how you approach these kinds of gigs. Best, JC Everybody's got to believe in something. I believe I'll have another beer. W. C. Fields Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Klopmeyer Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 I can't see anything wrong with that kind of gig. Take 'em when you can get 'em! Marketing Communications for MI/Pro Audio My solo music and stuff They Stole My Crayon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richwhite9 Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 You could show up with a Roland AK-7, Music Lab's Real Strat, a Receptor and a Stack of Marshalls. You'd be fired, get no studio work, and have no choice but to form a power trio :> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
