Aye, I'm going to have to do something. That or some folky stuff about the Clearances - they love that down Bannermanns on a Saturday night. I'm just sad I didn't have what it takes to be in a covers band.


 

after playing in a cover band for over thirty years I’m gutted to find out I don’t have what it takes to be in a cover band!

  You can read it more than once if you want but if you do your name will be mud and you won’t be able to call yourself a real forum poster!

I’m comfortable in my self awareness that I’m a talentless, soulless waste of time.

 

I struggle to play bass lines I’ve written after one listen.

Yep.

 

One listen through to learn most covers.

 

It'll hardly be the first time you've ever heard the tunes. I'd suggest if it is then being in a covers band isn't really for you as you're expecting the audience to already know them.

 

So basically you're a root and fifth kind of guy?

 Last gig the encore was a song I'd never heard before. Guitarist told me C and played me the bass riff, once, quietly.

 

I rather enjoyed it, crowd were happy.

 

But It was a straight 12 bar, took a couple of verses to get the turnaround 🤪

What was the song?
