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.

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

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.

^ 10/10. Nathan, seriously man, most of us are trying to give you serious advise, stop being so defensive all the time.

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

How do you mean? If you mean it the way it comes across, I can't think of a statement about music less true than that.
 
Re: First test run of my updated pedalboard at a gig.

From here it looks like the drummer and the bass player are forming an alliance.

Nothing beats the humble musician.

This comment is really bothering me. Are you saying that you are a better musician because you play guitar rather than bass?

If that's the case, you need to apologize to our bass playing brethren.

Some of the best musicians I know play bass as their regular gig. Those same musicians were drummers and guitarists first.
