I'm not talking about John Bonham thrashing away for 40 minutes here, but the optimum length of a solo for a bar-room gig.
I've pretty much worked out a solo which is about four minutes long.
But I taped it and played it to somebody (not a musician) who said it was too long and everybody would be heading off to buy a beer as I played it!
It's hopefully 'musical' and accessible. It's not a highly technical solo, just 2 minutes of 4/4jungle and snare grooves and 2 minutes of free-form triplets, quads, high-hat chokes etc.
Does anyone else think four minutes iks too much to ask?
