Topic: Might be playing on a stage again

I got asked tonight to sit in with a group and see whether my bass playing fits in with their style.  If so, I may fill in for their bassist when he has to travel on business.  If not, nothing ventured nothing gained.  Praise band again.  Wish me luck - not that I believe in luck.

Re: Might be playing on a stage again

Watch the fretting hand of the rhythm guitar player. Sit or stand where you can see his left hand. You can get the chords from that. Stay, mostly, on the root of each chord and keep it simple and you will do well.

Re: Might be playing on a stage again

Thanks everyone. 

Toots, I already know the chord progressions for most of the songs they'll be doing.  I'll be keeping an eye on his strumming hand and an ear on the drummer so that we can all groove on the same rhythms.

I have finally found happiness in my life.  Guitars, singing, beer and camping.  And they all intertwine wonderfully.
