Hey guys. I played at a friend's battle of bands last night (randolph, nj) and wanted to know what you guys thought. it was a lot of fun for me. here is my youtube page:
-i dont move. period. but apparently thats ok. (or thats atleast what people tell me)
-i dont smile too often. (i must work on that. it freaks fellow band members out sometimes) i just get lost in the music a lot hahah.
- sometimes im in the "horse stance" my guitard says.

Nice Job! Great crowd reaction. And your playing was solid. only suggestion move around a little even if you would have jumped up on the stage with the drummer that would have been cool. RTS NJ club member
thx. my bass teacher suggested on the pat metheny piece that since there was a keyboard player, i should try moving away from the root+third thing and go for more of a bass line type deal. and yeah i should get more "into it". its just that with a different group i play with, they arent that musically talented, but the really know how to move around and have stage presence. with me, i feel like an idiot/show-offy-jerk if i move around if the band isnt that good. idk why.

Very nice....how did you do in the battle? That cut should've helped!
we came so close man. until the last band. what a band it was. it was a singer, handrum dude, cello player, and another singer? yeah. they were all amazing. if our singer was a little stronger we wouldve won probably. plus battle of bands is a seniority thing nowadays. we are all freshmen hahaha. i actually played my school's battle of bands last year when i was in 8th grade. i played (still am) with kids a grade above me, but same age.
