  • First test run of my updated pedalboard at a gig.

    I finished finalising my board. Alasdair, my friend (and guitar tech somewhat) kicked my ass during our solo lick trading, but I won because of simplicity in the first round.
    Gear
    Organs: 1972-73 Conn 632 "Serenade" analog theater organ, 1967 Hammond H-111 (not sounding but working), '72 Hammond T-524 + my '71 Hammond L-112 across the country.
    Synths: Roland D-20, Kawai K11, Yamaha QS300
    Leslie Cabinets: 1975 Leslie 825 and 1974 Leslie 705.
    Guitars: Monterey Stage Series bitsa, 1991 Charvel CX-291 bitsa, 70s Hondo acoustic and a ton of parts.
    Pedalboard: Home made DJ case thing conversion with a lot of budget pedals on it.
    Amps: Fender Sidekick Reverb 35

    Few points:

    -Overall pretty good, dug the spacey lead tone in voodoo child
    -If possible some quick editing would be good, cut out the first handful of minutes of nothing
    -Stop yelling at your bass player about the G note
    -I find it funny how your always 'finalizing' your pedal board.
    -Nobody 'won' the lick trading, it's all just a jam man!

      I am finicky about how a song should start off, I wanted it to start off how CCR did it. Plus, these guys are familiar with my finickyness

        Doesn't mean they like it. Wouldn't want your bandmates to feel disrespected and leave.

          Right. Well this is just an open mic thing but I just like to see what I can do.

            It doesn't matter. That's no reason to show disrespect. Is that how you feel? That because it's just open mic you can yell at them?

              Not exactly. The reason I yelled was because I couldn't hear my vocals over the damn bass

                That is the kind of stuff that you work out in a rehearsal. Not in a live situation. It not only makes you look bad because you're yelling at your band members, it makes the whole band look unprofessional. If you play something wrong live, just stick it out. Mistakes happen. PA's happen. Rolling with it all is better than saying something onstage.

                  Then you should be finicky about the entire song being played the correct way, which it was not. Y'all completely skipped the middle breakdown.

                    The middle breakdrown wasn't enough. So I decided to can that and do a solo.

                      Bass player didn't yell at you for that, though, did he?

                        No, because bass players are actually the learners in the band. still though, it was fun.

                          If the Australian music scene is anything like the American one, good bass players are hard to come by. You need him way more than he needs you.

                              And wait, did you bring a full band to an open mic night? That is frowned upon in these parts.
