I suck with charts

[Fredrik E. Nilsen]

Then there is those times the person, usually female, comes up on stage, calls some introspective crap song by an Icelandic feminist folkie with bad shoes. And she says 'Here I have charts', hands them out, and proceeds to come in 7 bars late.

Sounds like we were at the same bar last night. (One and two and three and four and one and one and one and there is the new one. Great. At least, Icelandic singer, make sure you do the same mistake every chorus. Random mistakes are the worst).

I guess I've done it enough that I can groove while reading, or faking my way through changes, or playing memorized charts. All of that comes through practice, and lots of it.
