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 .

I did not even notice the count. Might have something to do with playing my drums

Maybe? I dunno and can't really speculate except to say it might improve. I'd just wait patiently to see if it improves over time. If not, you could call their attention to it and suggest they practice with a click track, a metronome, or backing tracks.

Yeah, it definitely should - as you may end up performing something that requires good timing or it sounds all fucked up.

A drunk audience won't notice slipped timing too bad, unless it's really bad - or unless y'all need to perform something that requires good timing, like you all stop playing and then start playing at the same time.

The drum is your back beat. It's there to keep the whole band in time. I'd have to say that drunk dancers listen more to the vocalist and drums than they do anything else. Yeah, we guitarists love our solos and riffs, but the audience is singing along and dancing to the down beat of the drummer.

(Exceptions made for very guitar-centric songs, where the guitar is also keeping time.)
