ironside1966 Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Is any one up for a mock audition for a function band? If there is enough interest I will post a list of 4 songs for you to learn, pop and soul songs nothing too naff. After seven days I will post some versions of the songs with the bass part removed After a coupe of plays with the tracks, make a recording, post it in if you want , Let us know how you are get on. Did you find it easy or hard? I think this is a good learning experience and still worth a go even if you have would rather chop of you privet parts then play in a cover band. Treat this as a real audition all 4 songs must be learnt with a good degree of accuracy. I might even change the key of one or two if the singer is not happy.

It's free and you can drop the track in then add a track for your bass line.

Wooks Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 I'm just a beginner so this could be a good exercise for me, I could even ask my tutor for help with it as well as trying to work it out for myself. I'll probably fall well short of anything resembling the efforts of some you old "pro's" out there. But I think it'll be a challenge for me and a bit of a giggle so count me in too!! :brow: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galilee Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 As long as you abide by the 'nothing too naff' comment, I will try this and feedback my experience (although I doubt I'd post my efforts). I imagine that Bilbo230763 will be [b]well[/b] up for this as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
