niceguyhomer Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 I had an audtion two weeks ago with a band that were several leagues above anything I've done before. I didn't play well but did enough to get a second bite today - and I'm actually nervous. It's not like me at all, usually I couldn't give a toss but I really really want to get into this band. Wish me luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beedster Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 Luck doesn't come into it dude, it'll be all those hours of practice, gigging and talking bass with us BCers that'll do it. Just enjoy, don't worry about the outcome, no point, just reduces the quality of your playing. Chris PS good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molan Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 Hope it goes really today - remember all that good stuff like taking deep breaths to calm those nerves, don't overplay, make facial contact with people whilst playing etc. I'm sure you'll slay 'em Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leschirons Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 There were obviously a few that won't be asked back for a second audition so that's really promising. Hope it works out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retroman Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 Yeah, good luck matey, hope you get the gig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trtzbass Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 Good luck dude. Remember we normally feel compelled to play waaaaay more than we should. Relax and make your life easier. What works for me is: I have slightly more volume on the amp and I think "small": small hand movements, small playing. This helps me not to overplay and to have a better control on my muscles. Remember to breathe :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_b Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 (edited) Hi Alan, all sportsmen warm up before a race and major bands warm up before a gig so don't go in cold. Before the audition I'd spend several hours (at least 2) playing and practising to get yourself warmed up and get your brain and ear to hand coordination into gear. Good luck. Edit: .... and if possible remember to lock in with the drummer. Edited August 30, 2009 by chris_b Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvin Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 Brilliant news. As for posting MP3's you have to ask someone else. Sorry couldn't resist. Well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
