daveinspain Posted March 11, 2012 Author Share Posted March 11, 2012 The gig went well... Everyone had a great time and we got lots of complements on our sound. Everything was in it's place. I play mostly rhythm but have a couple solos, one in BB King's "The Thrill is Gone" and the other in Gary Moore's "Still got the Blues" I think my nerves got to me because I play them both well at home and at rehearsals but managed a couple good flubs on both tunes... Anyway most people didn't notice and overall it was great... I don't know if anyone got photos or videos, if they did I'll post them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EVOL! Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Glad the gig went well. Remember, it is about the energy of the performance, not whether you played each note perfectly. Hope your next gig is even better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
