anybody here like to do the winging it sort of thing, that's where you go up they tell you what key it's in and off you go. I had a session of training like that. When I lived in Peterborough you would just get asked to play a weekend or whatever from one of the musicians that were fronting things at the time. He would put himself together a combo and off you'd go for a while or till the next thing came along. Since then I've played in a few bands got a real job and now play in the house band at our local legion Jam night. At these jam nights we have various singer/players come up and have had all sorts of requests. I find it keeps you on your toes and keeps you learning new stuff all the time. Tonight I'm going out to play with a band who I am about to meet in an hour or so and fill in for there guitarist who is in the hospital. This should be interesting there is a bass player,drummer,keys and sax player. Well off to the races...

What a gas that was. A fine drummer and bass player, keyboard/acoustic player and a sax player. These guys were great, it was the most fun in a night I've had for a while and I got paid....bonus. I agree with you 100% Lester especially the note for note solo's, grab the signature riffs and let your own come out is my strategy, a lot more fun that way to. :rockon2:
