I joined a new band! - Maltese Dogs Forum : Spoiled Maltese Forums

**Rocks** · 12-25-2012, 08:38 AM

As many of you know I am a musician and I've been looking for a band that I felt comfortable playing with. The biggest problem was too many bands had drug and drinking issues. Well out of the blue I got a call from a guy that had seen me play in one of my old bands and he found out I left the band so he got my contact info from them. We met last week to just get together and jam to see if we had musical chemistry and it went great. I learned 7 new songs in the first hour and I don't read music, I just tell them to start playing and I jump right in playing by ear. It is a 3 piece band, classic rock, blues and some newer stuff. We are currently trying to come up with a good name for the band so any ideas would be great.

Jerry, that is great!! Wish you the best of luck with it. I will think about a name if anything clicks I'll let you know.

Thanks, this is going to be a great project, it is a 3 piece band (power trio) Which lets me really open up and play my a$$ off, I can improvise and through down some really cool beats to get people dancing. Plus the chemistry is so great right from the start that we are able to throw in improvised jams in the middle of a song and not miss a beat. I'll be playing mostly bass guitar but I'm going to play lead guitar on a few songs, I do a mean Jimi Hendrix so that will be my turn to make a guitar smolder. I'll be playing it behind my back, with my teeth, everything any of you seen Jimi do at woodstock, even somersaults will playing. The rest of the band sust needs to step back and get out of the way because I'll be all over the place playing guitar like a maniac.

Sounds like you are going to have a wonderful time! I got my DH a starter guitar for Christmas (Fender Bullet) and he is in the other room now trying to learn a bit about it.

Save me lol!
