So my band has been a four-piece for the last 2 or so years.
The last 8 months have been tough on us- all external factors playing their part, families work etc....
One of our guitarist's is going through a major family crisis at the moment and the band stopped for a while to give everyone involved a little 'away' time and just get a little perspective etc.
Now the 3 of us (sans the guitartist) have begun to meet again and get back into the swing of playing together and generally enjoy each other's company while making music.
The guitarist has not offically left the band or been asked to but the rest of us are planing on moving ahead with or without him.
The guitarist's particular issues are not going to go away anytime soon and we highly doubt the band we will be on the high side of his priority list, so I come on here today fellow musican Brother's and Sisters to ask for any advise you can give me/us on moving on as a 3-piece?
What are the thngs we should be aware of? Areas we must improve or adjust?
I'm speaking from an sonic standpoint- I understand the 3 of us will need to adapt the way we play to 'cover' the whole left by the missing guitar.
So I was hoping some of you out there had some experience in this area- as yet again, my small-town band ventures into the unknown with yet 1 less member to enjoy the ride!!
