So yesterday I was asked to sit in with a couple of well known(locally) musicians for a show this friday.I havent played with anyone in about 10 year's and jumped on the chance to get some playing time in.I kinda figured we would do 2 day's of soild jammin' to get me up to speed with their 45 song list.No such luck,45 min's yesterday and 1 hour tonight,and they want me to sit in friday night for 4 hours!
I already told them I would,but now i would chew off my left nutt(If I could reach) to get out of it.3/4 of the songs I have never herd before and have to keep my eye's constantly on them in order to follow.Musically I have no problem keeping up with them,but they have been playing together for 15 year's and are very tight,and I feel and sound sloppy.I would be more comfortable if this was a full band that I could hide behind the volume during the stuff I'm unsure of,but this is all accustic.
Think I should just suck it up and hope for the best or thank them for the offer and try to get some more jammin' time with them?They say I sound fine but I always hated playing hoping for the best.
