Covers without keyboards

[jmemcse]

I got a chance to go play with a new band. They sent me some songs to learn. I have to play tunes that had no keyboards originally. I'll just learn the chord structure and bang away on my Wurly.

Sultans
Listen to her heart
Feel like makin love
Little sister
Lonely ol night
Secret agent man
Somebody's baby
Something
You may be right
You wreck me
And about 30 covers I've been playing for years...

I'll practice with them Sunday, they have gigs coming up though. Should be another source of fun money.

You gotta throw some Jon Lord style CRUNCHY HAMMOND into a couple of those!

If you don't do it -- who will?

Like ON7, in situations like this I always ask:
What would Jon Lord do?
WWJLD
Be aggressive and people will wonder where the keys went when they hear the original!

The drummer was an hour and a half late, and showed up drunk... we fired him.
Got to play Green Eyed Lady and Court of the Crimson King though, and the new guitar guy did really well. I used guitar tab charts for the songs new guy added and mostly used B3 settings - worked well. Now I need to find a drummer so we can go make money.
