Does this have something to do with your G string?


Iffin I could find it, I'd confirm.
 
Otherwise I'll be usin' my Am string.

  • Time is relative.  Band members who demand that you show up for a gig within 12 hours of the scheduled time are guilty of Timism.  (It's wrong...)
  • The gig is wherever you setup.  It's not your fault that you can't read a map, follow directions, use a GPS, read street signs, or locate the front of the stage.  Instead, the band should follow you.
  • Rehearsals are for the rest of your band.  You've already picked out your platform shoes for the evening.  You don't need to rehearse anything else.
  • Sound checks are easy.  If your amp parts the FOH engineer's hair (and/or beard), it's loud enough.
  • The best time to listen to your voice mail is between songs.  The band will be happy to wait.
  • If/When you and the guitarist play in different keys, glare at him/her and hit that string harder.  An apology should be forthcoming.
  • When the keyboardist goes on and on about music theory, you can offer an alternative theory that keyboardists don't really exist.
  • While it is tempting, you should not mock the drummer.  He is armed with sticks and just might understand what you're doing.
  • When that drumstick rebounds off of your skull (see previous rule), try not to fall on your bass.  Authorities might use it later to identify you.

Hi,
 
They are missing a few of them ... that only applies to me!
 
101. Don't try to teach Mosh about Am. He can only remember Do, Re Mi, and has no idea what an Am is! And it doesn't sound like A, B or C at all!
 
102. Translations are a pain. Literal stuff in music teaching is even worse at the CHB!
 
103. Trying to teach someone scales when the notes don't make sense is stupid!
 
104. Remember that all this learning is to ensure you can no longer free form like you wanted to at 12 years old, and you thought it was cool. But everyone around you said you were noisy and bad! The guitarist will get mad and have you fired!
 
105. Make sure you own all the equipment, so you can fire the guitarist when he gets bossy!
 
106. (More as they come!)
