I worked full-time in the 80s. These were our rules. Never smoke on stage. Never drink on stage. Never wear casual street clothes on stage, dress so people know you're in the band as soon as you walk in the room. Never turn your back on the audience. Never leave the audience with dead-air, always be playing or speaking for the audience.

@jamesdeananderson1411 2 месяца назад

And that's how you got to "full-time". Well done.

@mr.dennis5503 2 месяца назад

I've been right in the middle of an instrumental solo, and the praise and worship leader started singing over me! This has happened a lot. It's like they don't know what to do when not singing. One time, the pastor walked over and whispered to his P&W leader, "It's an instrumental solo. Stop singing!" 🤣🤣🤣

@jftalmadge1978 Месяц назад

Retired pro (mostly local Chicago area) keyboardist here. Regarding mistakes: your average audience member has no idea that you played a wrong note, a bad chord, the wrong thing at the wrong time. So learn to quickly recover like the man says and have fun. I once saw some friends of mine who had a band that I used to love to watch on nights off. Once they were playing at this club and they were doing their arrangement of a favorite R&B tune that had a repeating figure for the intro. The intro was a repeating 4 bar figure with an accent that they moved a bar later each go around. The bass player flubbed by playing the accent a bar early on one round. They all laughed-never stopped playing-and the next round the guitar player repeated the flub, then the keyboardist, then the drummer; all while keeping the pattern of having the accent one bar later than before with the flubbing player playing the accent a bar early. They clearly were having fun doing this as I was having fun watching. I turned to a server standing next to me also watching, and asked, "You see what happened there?" She, not being a musician had no clue, mainly because nobody made a big deal about the initial flub, but laughed and just took turns reproducing it, making it seem more deliberate to the "civilian" ear, and just having fun with the fact that we all make mistakes at times.

That also applies to the digital vs analog argument where guitar is concerned. The audience doesn't know squat. Play with what sounds good and is easy to work with.

I grew up in the 60s/70s and i can tell you the number one thing that was preached was professionalism what's a must if you look back at all the acts back then you did not see one member fiddling with their instruments or if they were in a group doing something if they were in a band you definitely didn't see them messing with their instruments while performing it was a must to stay sharp while on stage when i was growing up and you saw a member of the group or band doing something while on stage it was considered unprofessional and the group or band got called out for it that's what it was back in my day

Bass player here, Made my first dollar in 71 and I was 15 working in a band. Did this till I retired when I turned 60. Mostly because of health. The business of music sucks. I have worked with the best and the worst , been taught by the best about being a musician for hire and studio work. You are correct about stage presence and what not to do on stage. That comes from direction and maturity. Most musicians do not get the direction. Drinking and smoking on stage was the biggest no no in the 80's, that was ok in the 70's though and some places had dress codes for the band. Look at how management changed the Beatles for the good. That is direction. You are providing this service. And I commend you for that. Well done. PS never give a drummer knobs to play with. Why do bands take 15 min breaks?.........to retrain the drummer.

LOL! I played a major bum note in a solo last Saturday at a gig. I thought it was noticeable to everyone. NO ONE noticed! If they did, they loved it. I had a ton of compliments on my playing that night. We covered Toto's, "Wings of Time" and it was a hit - bad note and all. You are spot on. No one will care. If anything an audience will know that you are just human. I watched Eric Johnson offer up a clam on stage once. The rest of his band just winked and laughed. If EJ can do it, you can!

You forgot to mention also how some musicians outplay the soloist/singers that they are supposed to accompany! Like doing their own solo when someone is singing, like its there show and not the singer's.

@bluzzjazz 12 дней назад

Using IEMs, sometimes it's necessary to adjust the vocals/instruments or click volume during the song. Especially when vocals start at softer and then get big. As far as solos, yes, it's very frustrating when you've learned a solo and the vocalist decides that's a good time to recite some passage or other verbiage. We have a dedicated sermon time. Hello, it says instrumental! Let it breathe!

@terran3276 2 месяца назад

As a bass player I'm used to being the bottom support for the band and the show. There was one time what I did on stage got me a big response and applause from the audience. I was playing with a recording artist and a friend who is a Nashville guitarist. In the middle of a song my bass completely went dead. No sound at all. I did not freak out. I kept cool and turned around to troubleshoot what happened while a stage tech also came on stage to assist. we found the problem. It was a power strip that was twisted. It unwound itself and fell over and the on/off switch hit a cymbal stand of the drummer. Easy . . just turned it back on and I turned around and rejoined the song since the band kept going. Being able to recover like that was impressive to the audience and I got my first applause LOL. I totally agree. Stuff happens sometimes and it is best to keep cool and help the situation. Your audience is understanding on issues like this. But when you make face when other make a mistake. the audience sees that as you sing arrogant. Not a good look. Thank you Terance for the wise word in your videos.

Thanks for the great content! These tips are useful for all performers to keep in mind, especially the last one. The time to pay attention to mistakes is while you are doing your individual practice, and that's it. There are people who have seen me perform for years who say I never make a mistake, but spoiler alert - I make them a lot, I just don't make it obvious.

@mlm6915841 2 года назад

We all make mistakes, I learned a long time ago the art of playing live with a band is covering them up. In a good band the members will cover each other. The worst thing you can do is make a face, or otherwise draw attention to it!

@GuitarGangsta 2 года назад

VERY GOOD VIDEO (liked and subbed) , and while not disagreeing, here in Florida, those hot outdoor gigs make stringed instruments go flat even mid song, or in colder outdoor climates, strings go sharp - so sometimes having to tune mid song or after the song has to happen unfortunately - even if you stretch the strings out adequately, etc... - Other times, the soundcheck is usually the first few songs because either the bar doesn't allow it, or we are following a band right after, so we have to adjust our levels on instruments, monitor mix during the songs, because there is very little to sometimes no time for an adequate soundcheck. - I agree with the not being distracted aspect, but sometimes the bar either has no security, or the security completely disregards the band (very common), and drunks will trip over equipment or even try to get on stage, so I believe situational awareness is in order to a very high degree because sometimes we have to be bouncers unfortunately. Again, this was a great video, and i don't intend to discount the value of it, but there are these exceptions that I believe are important.

I have played and continue playing clarinet for over 20 years; I get flashbacks of marching band rehearsals outside in the cold, and this happens when I have to play in a cold room (ie the church sanctuary) . I can’t always “push in” my barrel before the performance; most of the time I do it when I notice I’m flat, because it’ll be awhile before I play during the service.

@dwneder 2 года назад

This is great, and I have to add my own pet-peeve: when someone screams, "Are you ready to rock!???" ("No jackass. I just drove here, paid a cover charge, bought an over-priced drink - can you give me another hour?") Then, even worse, is the "I can't hear you!!!" ("Funny, I can't hear YOU either!") You know what? If you want your audience to respond and get excited - just be a better band/musician. Audiences WILL react without having to goad them. It's very unprofessional!

@ericlyons9624 2 года назад

I totally agree, but have another pet peeve that goes the other direction -- not engaging the audience much at all; at the start or between songs. No one wants to hear a boring bunch of platitudes between every song, but it's nice to introduce every third or fourth song or so, maybe with a little comment about what it's great -- and then right into the song.

@HollyFayHolverson777 4 месяца назад

Great video. I couldn't agree more with your comment about providing a foundation over which to solo. I can't tell you how many times a guitar player who decides to throw in a gazillion single note riffs (like a continuation of the solo he just played) or drummer who thinks it's okay to experiment with his most fancy periditals, which have nothing to do with the song. Yes, it's great you can play all this complex poly rhythmic stuff on your axe, but if it does NOTHING to support the situation, why are you doing it? Dont do it! If you think that it doesn't matter because it's just "this dive bar" or "Im ligjlht years ahead of the other musicians in this band" (if you're so much better than the rest of us, then you shouldnt be here. After all, no one wants you to "lower yourself" or do us the "huge" favor of "gracing us with your high and mighty presence." I'll make sure that never happens again by making sure I never call you or refer you to anyone again. The moral of the story is, HONOR, the gigs you take, do your homework, understand the situation, and accommodate EVERYONE as best you can. Be helpful. However, try to avoid offering boatloads of unsolicited "advice" (ie "you SHOULD__" or, "you need to__"). This is esp true in situations in which you're the new person or sub. Again, timing and manner of approach are crucial factors because it's a sensitive subject.

@mattnewcomb_official 2 года назад

Definitely agree about fiddling during someone else’s solo spot, especially vocalists! STFU while someone else is doing their thing. You don’t want guitar noodles and bass runs and tom rolls during your verses, so be respectful to others and shut up! Do not sing the solos! If you work it out beforehand that you’re going to Aretha all over the solo, fine, but don’t bust into it just because you got the feels, because I will stop and give you a look.

Jimi Hendrix retuned a string many times while onstage during a song! Perfectly acceptable to do that if your string de-tunes during the song.

That's because he played instruments that weren't up to snuff. Fender, Gibson, all have tuning issues, and are not worth what they ask for them. Not with my money. PLenty of better instruments out there. I have a Yamaha electric with a floating trem that I cannot bash out of tune. I bought it used but I know it was around $800 new...not an expensive guitar at all, but it holds it's tune like it's life depends on it, has a great tone, and will literally fistfuck any crappy Strat out there when it comes to playability.

@goatatl 2 года назад

In no particular order; Fiddling with your gear during a song is about as lame as lame gets. As a drummer, and in my mind, it's impossible to do and still retain anything that resembles keeping tempo/groove/pocket, or whatever you choose to call it. I'll occasionally tweak the snare tuning BETWEEN songs, but as quietly as possible. It never ceases to amaze me when somebody just stops playing to "fix their tone" Whatever you found necessary to drop out and fix, wasn't nearly as ugly as you dropping out of the song to fix it. Spot on on soloing over somebody's solo. You're there to support. This especially applies to vocalists. Most people who come see your band couldn't care less about all your chops. You're an accompanist to the singer. Every song is pretty much their "solo", and they probably have the most demanding job of any of us. Lastly, when I see a hot girl walk in the venue, it only increases my job responsibility to get that on the dance floor. Enough venting from me, I hope you all have GREAT gigs!!!

@mehandmoremeh 2 года назад

I fucking LOVE this guy! I hear so many things that (I'm a drummer) I could be the culprit for, but almost all of them, I'm not. And then he gets into "don't make that face when you fuck up". I'm not going to go into others that make faces at me, or at others.... but certainly, I do let myself down and make it relatively obvious sometimes. The only thing I have to say in many people's defences, is: soundcheck never freaking sounds anything like it's supposed to!!! That's why I fiddle on the ipad for the first few tunes, even during a song while I'm playing one handed. Guitar players are notorious for changing volumes. And especially singers never sing out like they should during sound check, and keyboard patches change so much - they all have different volumes. I play 99% of my gigs with IEMs, and digital monitoring is the best thing that ever happened to the working drummer. I love keeping the volume WAAAY down in my head, even when I beat the crap out of my drums outdoors.

@kenfcarzn 2 года назад

Do these rules apply to stage mixers and FOH mixers? Because most times they don’t have you dialed in correctly until you’re 2 - 3 songs in. I agree with the drummers though I don’t know a drummer that doesn’t do that during a show. You didn’t bring up musicians going live on Social Media.

Good stuff. I’ll add these: Stop placing your guitars or amps in front of the drums. Stop standing in front of the drums. Make sure you leave a path for the drummer to get in/out from behind the kit. Stop talking to each other but not the drummer before you decide to change something in the set. Vocals should be the clearest instrument in the room. Lastly, stop tuning over the air. No one needs to hear you tune. Thank you for your consideration.

I 100% 💯 agree with every single point here. I particularly hate when a band member OR singer draws attention to mistakes by turning around and ish. Nobody in the audience even notices half of the minor mistakes someone makes. Be anal in rehearsals... perform on stage. Part of that performance is projecting confidence and giving cover to your fellow musicians and singers (assuming they aren't grossly negligent). Even then, chastise them at practice sessions, not on stage, or better yet, boot them after the gig, if they are horrible team players.

About the drummer the thing is stuff comes lose because we hit our instrument, so we'll get a bad sound or have a cymbal fall over if we don't pay attention to it. So don't be talking about something you know nothing about, we're trying to avoid a fail on stage. I have even heard that pros tune mid set to make the set sound better.

@TerenceFisher1 Год назад

Lol! So first, you should know that I am also a drummer. I played drums professionally in a band for over a decade. Next, a cymbal falling over??? In most cases, the only way something like this can happen is if you have faulty hardware and such...which should not be the case if you consider yourself a professional musician. Now, of course, the odd thing could happen here or there and some adjustments and such need to be made. However, having to tune your kit in the middle of a set and/or having cymbals fall over on any sort of regular basis is generally not professional.

@@TerenceFisher1 Things get lose over time when using. I've really only had a bass drum pedal go lose on stage.

What I got out of it was not to do those routine adjustments in middle of a song when you could have preparred before starting the song. Agree that you need to adjust here and there, but you should try not to be excessive. As far as out of tune instruments, not changing strings right before the gig might help. I play two instruments that are crazy to keep in tune in outdoor events, pedal steel guitar and lever harp, and you have to prepare as much as you can but still need to adjust in middle of a song.
