Gotta share this story even though it doesn't reflect well of me....
Ricky, our part-time vocalist / roadie / gopher, is learning guitar and brings his flat-top to our gigs. He doesn't have a great ear when it comes to recognizing keys, chord changes, etc. but I'll give the guy credit for trying. On the off-tunes, he'll sling the guitar on and try to keep up. He's not amplified so no harm done.
The other evening I noticed Ricky had his back to the audience, staring at my bass rig while strumming away. When asked why, he told me he was watching my Peterson VS II tuner (always on) perched on the rack-top to follow the chord progression. Apparently its not too difficult if the bass player pedals root-V for the majority of the evening.
Am I really that flippin' predictable? I really need to start mixing things up a bit more.
