Ross Brown Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Tonight rehearsal fell apart ... singer had horrible headache and could not rehearse, guitar player set up and then got a call from his wife about a water leak in the wall and his house was flooding... he left without playing a note... this left the drummer, me and the new guitar player.... his second rehearsal... This was actually an opportunity to hear him play with out all of the other stuff going on.... we had fun, he played well, sang fine. We played some of our set list and then jammed some blues and other stuff.... was fun... good musical connection... Maybe not the most interesting story but ....

Richard W Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 You had a drummer, a guitarist, and a bass player. There are a few bands who've done pretty well with that combination.

b5pilot Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 It helped the new guy as well as you and the drummer get more comfortable so the next rehearsal will be smoother. I'd say it was still a successful rehearsal - you got stuff done. Lydian mode? The only mode I know has the words "pie ala" in front of it. http://www.myspace.com/theeldoradosband Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcadmus Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 One band I was in years ago, we used to occasionally have "parts" practice. I'd get with the drummer and one of the guitarists to tighten up the rhythm on a few things. Or a few of us would get together to work out arrangements on new tunes. Or we'd all convene with an acoustic guitar to work on vocal harmonies. Can be very constructive.

Richard W Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 My band does "vocal only" practices a lot. Saves our drummer (the only non-singing member) from a lot of sitting around.

JBFLA Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 My band does "vocal only" practices a lot. Maybe one of the most important practices of all, especially if your band does covers. You could play the song perfectly; but if the vocals are off, that's all the crowd will hear. Back in the 70's I was was in a Top 40 band. We had band vocal lessons and individual lessons with a voice coach, in addition to vocal practices. Jim Confirmed RoscoeHead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
