Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, . That link will take you to another site to give you some additional information and tell you about some of our off-site features. That's also the site where we will host the weekly guitar threads, should Poal go down.

NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, and you're a regular participant, then just ask Crazy, or myself.

If you do know what's going on, you probably don't need to click that link - but you may want to, to make sure you know of the other features, such as the archive or a separate forum that's invite only.

Remember, we are guests here on Poal. Let's act like it. If you're interested in supporting Poal, then .

But of course I thought of that already. They just left, they are coming back tomorrow and we are going to jam then. They want to learn to play my songs. Plus do others that they wrote or have us come up with some together. The drummer guy wants to do thrash metal but my songs really aren't thrash metal for the most part and that other guitar player guy doesn't play fast, LoL. So I think it's going to end up to be a rock and roll band with a double bass drum beat sometimes

There's all sorts of RnR drummers double pumping the kicker. So, that's just fine.

You should learn to play with a click track. It sucks, but you should start that right away. Know your timing and play to a click. Drummers are the ones who protest this the most, but they're also the ones who need it the most.

I play along with the programmed drum tracks in my casio keyboard a lot, that's kind of the same, its just a beat instead of just a click.

Yup. Playing to GOOD backing tracks also helps. Timing is really important - and timing gets harder with the more people you add.

Timing is easy with one person. It's much harder with a dozen people. It's even harder if you have a hundred people.

You don't have a conductor keeping time for you, so practicing with a click track is a good idea. If you have IEMs, that's also a good way to use click tracks while performing.

With BDE, sound can cue up a click track through the IEMs - but we only use it for the first measure. So, they cue up the right click, it clicks for a measure, and we come in on time. It can be pretty confusing if you're running directly from one song into another, but you adapt quickly.

See? LOL If you start a band, I'll have all sorts of help for you! I know ALL the things! (Not really. The list of shit I don't know could fill a book. Hell, it probably does fill a book, I just haven't read it yet!)
