share ur experience playing solo and techniques to play solo....

solo as in playing alone? or solo as in lead guitar soloing?

everytime you play a lick that requires no thinking is familiar to you smack yourself.

A good way to force yourself to learn new stuff

EDIT: applies for all instruments

...or you can keep playing it faster and faster and faster...

well, but then you'll only be able to play one lick at 30000 bpm. No drummer can keep up with you then anyway

Nah...

The drummer can play half time feel at 15,000 bpm

lol agreed

i can play 30000 bpm. beats per month that is

Hey, the drummer can get two of those double-kick pedals and then play at 60,000 bpm what...


Which translates to 0.694444444444444444444444444444444 beats per minute...

Not bad, if you can actually pull that off, you're timing must be damn bloody near perfect...

... you actually counted?

Hmmm... What if he uses Mike Portnoy's kit? That needs two asses, three legs, and a couple of hands to play? That roughly translates to 90,000 bpm, almost breaching the holy 100,000 bpm mark!
Wait... Terry Bozzio can do that...

Nah, knowing how to mentally sub-divide beats per month into beats per minute and ultimately into notes per second is one of the first things you learn in Playing Solo 101...

OFF TOPIC!!!!!!!
And TS also haven't returned.....

If no more news from TS, will have to close this down......

its totally off topic....

wat im trying to say is to share the experience of solo performance no matter wat kind of intruments and tips....

That's what I thought...... You have to be careful when using the word "solo" in this forum....... most of us will think of lead guitar playing when it comes to soloing.....

To me, I always think a good backing track leads to a better performance for beginners playing solo..... playing a whole set with just you and your guitar..... it's a little intimidating......

Heck, even pros use backing track when they travel doing clinics, when bringing a whole backing band ISN'T feasible.....

i have never played on stage or in front of a crowd before >.<

I would apologize, but I've had a riot of a time in this thread...


Never done a solo performance before, but tips-wise... I guess you should nail the piece you're playing 110% before going up on stage...
