Cabarone Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 So I'll be backing my wife singing a song at Church tomorrow. She's a great singer and has been trying to get me to start playing for her. I had to buy a strap and practice playing standing up. Last time I played in public was over 35 yrs. ago and I can't even remember which bar it was... I'm asking y'all to keep a good thought/say a prayer, anything that it goes well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Dog Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 Well, since you're going from playing bars to a church, at least God will be on your side! Give 'em he.. uh. I mean, do your best! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope you enjoy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

american cheez Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 just remember the 4 rules of playing in a church: 1) there's no such thing as too loud 2) you can never use too much gain 3) be "high energy" jump around alot, scream, and say things like "hell yeah" and "are you ready to rock?!!!" flick your tongue at the ladies, they LOVE that stuff! 4) your solo should be at least 48 bars, and should include tapping, pick scrapes, and high-speed alternate picking above the 12th fret.

kelly campbell Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 You guys are hilarious...love the church/bar/playing humor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cabarone Posted May 13, 2018 Author Share Posted May 13, 2018 Just a follow-up...it went real well...everybody was excited about having live music (the praise team sings along to recorded songs; actually singing along w/records). Folks asked when I was going to play again...I told them to meet me at the club where the deacons and I were heading after worship...... Main thing is the praises went up...and no strings broke! Thanks for the support... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
