In the suggestion box, I am going to note that you will look better with IEM's rather than a full set of cans ;~))

noted.. They're in my gig bag. You see my keyboardist uses them. I should follow suit. ...and lose some weight!!!

Don’t know about you, but I sure need to.

Hmmm…

I saw nobody being overly critical. What I did see, and participated in, was some friendly helpful advice. And they were thankful for it and requested more.

Great! I Wasn't Specifically Calling Certain People Out, I Was Simply Making A Point.

Sounds good to me. Praise You In This Storm was a comfort when my brother was taken suddenly in an industrial accident. It’s a good reminder of who is who in the hard times.

I'm currently doing a two-man band with tracks filling in the things not guitar or vocals. First time not doing a full band in 40+ years of gigging, so it's new territory that we're both having fun with. There's nothing like a full band, but when that isn't happening it's good to move on and do what's available. Good luck!

So....practice last night. My keyboard buddy whips out some headphones. Says mine look "cool" in the video and wanted the same look! Too funny. He's the best though.

Yeah...I quickly realized that. Just turned on the camera and "kinda" forgot about it. Need to re-arrange the room to do that...and as asked... "looking for slack" being a first attempt filming practice.
However PLEASE keep up with the suggestions. I figure if people don't want to watch practices, they can scroll on by, but I'm finding more interest with the "behind the scenes" than expected. Infact the YouTube channel hopes to show more about using specific setups, how to arrange, mix...maybe even film with both people facing the camera!! lol...thanks, man!

My reluctance is mostly from not wanting "less than complimentary" band performances being seen. My fear is that people see it and don't take into consideration that it is a rehearsal where things are being worked out and it leaves a negative impression of the band. But I'm probably over sensitive to that. It's the same reason I don't like having non-band members present during rehearsals.

Sounds like a great start to me! Hope you do more videos....

I completely understand that. I can be overly sensitive also. What I appreciate here, is that all critiques seem to be kind, honest, and helpful. I have posted a few times, and usually those who don’t have something helpful to say, just scroll on. (I already know I’m a bit of a hack)
