Here is your tip of the day .did three gigs yesterday and all were different in terms of musical style. Yes you need good gear and yes need a good attitude and yes you need to be well practice , however the part that gets left out is how much listening you do and not just to the stuff you like , a working pro must have a working knowledge of many styles of music and be able to play on demand whatever the situation calls for with authority . The best compliment you will ever receive is when someone says to you wow I didn't know you could play you fill in the blank. So practice listening it pays . MTD4LYFE
