You're welcome!

[@JoeC1977]

Great tips! Thank you. Something else I'll suggest you don't want to say on stage - when the song ends, don't say "something like that" - it suggests you've messed up. And nobody may have noticed. I have asked my partner not to say that, but he still slips it in once in a while.

[@promuso2121]

Yes. Very important. I’ve done that myself. And then felt even sillier. Good point. 👍

5:32 in a common misconception is to repeat the mistake. If you want to do jazz, repeat the mistake a semitone away from the previous mistake. If you keep moving in semitones, you’ll eventually resolve to one of the notes of the chord you’re playing over If you’re playing blues, repeat the mistake a tritone away, then repeat a semitone away, keep repeating semitone / tritone / semitone / tritone until you hit that magic major 3 dominant 7 tritone of the key of the song for example you’re playing the G# and D over an E chord. When I decided to impersonate a guitarist, after years of being a bass player, I worked out a bunch of _exit strategies_ for “spicy” notes when soloing. If you’re there, you are only ever a semitone away from a note that will sound OK and a few notes away from a chord tone As I say to my fellow musicians, is, when you’re on stage, there are no mistakes, only better ways to play that part of the music. It also requires practicing your craft, rather than just memorising songs. ** one last thing. There are a couple of tight arrangements for musical segues between tunes that we do. One catches us out occasionally. While we play through it, if I notice it, and the mood is right, I will point it out to the crowd and explain how they deserve better, and, without missing a beat, on the count of 4, we go back and execute it flawlessly. You can do that if you have the right level of musicianship with your fellow band mates. The entertainment comes from the competence of the musicians as well as the music

[@promuso2121]

Great points.

[@cptntwang]

Scheissenhausen! All good tips sir. Greetings from Recklinghausen/Germany

[@promuso2121]

Hello my friend! Thanks for stopping by. Are you a working musician over there?

[@danfurr1907]

Great tips, now I think I'll put some shrimp on the barby!

[@promuso2121]

Too right mate!

[@sachachanyan]

Great advice, thanks. The background music in the video I find too loud and not really necessary.... and not suitable music

[@promuso2121]

Thanks for your feedback.

[@SeekerGoOn2013]

I think knowing your material is #1. Given that, we’re still going to make mistakes. Guess what? Those things are in the past quicker than a deer runs into the forest!

[@promuso2121]

That’s true. It’s only remembered by us. Just a passing thought for the audience. But it is a good way to keep pressure on yourself to constantly improve I believe.

[@qbmedia_videos]

Thank you bald Brad Pitt!

[@surfbum6969]

You have a stunning resemblance to brad pitt.

[@promuso2121]

You just made my day Mac :-)

[@andyk6230]

If you're really good nobody will ask for requests that's my experience, apart from once I was shouted by a drunk to 'do Tina Turner', politely I explained I don't know her and couldn't afford to buy her dinner before I 'did' her and explained you just can't approach femails and request to 'do' them it's just rude! Ayway he left and I had a great show!

[@promuso2121]

That’s a good one. I’m going to use that 👍
