Audition Pointers???

[obimark]

For the boogie oogie line, a lot of people think the whole thing is slapped, it is not, most of it is finger style, she may pop a couple notes in her solo fills, but 99% of that line is fingers, I used to try to slap/pop it and it never seemed right, then I finger styled it, all good, sounded right immediately.

Also remember DEAD notes are your friend if used right...

I do use a boss tu2, that is the only thing inline between the bass and amp.

This is a lot of great advice, thanks to everyone!

So, I need to ask, if I download Best Practice, does it have spy/mal ware attached to it? I'm really interested in it, but have had bad experiences downloading free stuff.

1) Listen to the drummer.
2) Don't overplay
3) Turn up early, well prepared and be polite and professional.

PS: I play that Cee Lo Green track in my band and it is important to keep the riff really punchy and staccato in the verses and let the notes ring in the chorus...

I noticed that, aside from the bridge part, the song is fairly simple, but very effective, I'll be working on that bridge section tonight more, any tricks to make it easier?? Lol

based on everything i've read you should be fine. keep working on the little things... the fact that you even care sets you apart from most of the crowd. the fact that the old bassist put you up for the job 1st is a really good sign. sounds like if you relax, do your best, and be yourself you'll be fine. good luck.

Good luck;

Again, this really sounds like a great opportunity.

Openings in working bands with good paying gigs booked are far and few in between.

If you win I hope the whole band experience is a good one for you.

I have my fingers crossed for you.
