Hi guys, It looks like I may be joining up with a new band that is a great departure from my normal style. I tend to lean toward heavy and heavier, not to mention mostly modern. I was the primary guitarist in the last band other than the singer/guitarists few parts on specific songs.
This new band which is rather light rock to plain old rock wth a female singer already has 9 songs complete. The band consists of singer, bassist, drummer, backup singer/percussionist, and two guitarists including me. I was asked to come in and add to the tunes. Some of the songs have leads and fills but many are wide open.
I wrote lead parts and fills for the first song on their CD. I am not sure what else to do for these songs other than leads, fills, and doubling his rhythm maybe playing the chords in other positions or with a different tone. They did mention they are fine with me adding a little heavier edge on some tunes and in fact want that on specific songs.
Any thoughs, advice?
Thanks,
ps
