We still have not found a bass player. We've made arrangements for a couple of them to come over, gave them directions, a time, and they all sounded interested.
NONE of them showed up so far.
What is the deal with bass players. I would have thought that there were plenty of them out there, but it appears that they are all gone or not interested.
I better not have to learn how to play bass just to be able to play out!

New(er) Band
OK, so it happened. I found a full band that was looking for a vocalist.
So I tried out, and got the gig.
A month or two later, the bass player quits, and we still haven't played out (with me as the singer).
So we're seeking a bass player.
The devil's in the details.

Electricity is in the air!
It's been quite some time since I've been in a band, and I've always been the singer (who puts on the acoustic guitar for a song here and there). And as far as my acoustic playing, it's mostly chords, with a few songs where I get a bit more intricate.
Recently, I started jamming with an old friend, and he wants to put together a band. We got together a time or two with my acoustic, and him playing electric, and it was OK, but our choices were limited. Well, my friend asked me if I had an electric, and I did have one I was holding for another friend. We started playing, and I started getting more interested in playing the electric for a while.
Then I did it: I went out, and invested in a guitar rig, and a new electric guitar. I bought myself an Ibanez RG3EX1, beautiful guitar, red quilted finish... Then, to top it off, I bought a Line 6 HD150 with a Line 6 cabinet.
I'm learning how to play some songs, slowly but surely. Having a bit of a time with singing and playing some of the guitar at the same time, but with practice, this should be easier.
I really want to start from scratch - learn music theory, learn scales, modes, all that stuff. But my time is limited. I bought some books, and will attack those when I have free time.

Harmonious Existence
Welcome to my first blog post.
I want to talk about the DigiTech Vocalist Live 4.
This thing is incredible. I can have up to 3 and 4 part harmonies with my own voice. I can make my vocals sound huge without lots of fiddling or hiring backup singers!
Love it!
