All,
I recently had a bad experience with a new band. I auditioned for a rock cover band who was doing older rock tunes and got the gig. many of them not so easy (at least for me), like Blue Collar Man, Radar Love, Boys Are Back and Tie Your Mother Down.
I burned all the tunes on CD's and was making road maps for them, as I haven't played them before.
At the second rehearsal, I wasn't playing these songs perfectly, in fact I was having trouble with with a couple, but some I did real well. I was getting a real bad vibe from the singer, in fact I'm no longer in the band.
I think this attitude at second rehearsal is too soon for this sort of thing.
The band didn't have a gig, so I figured I had some time. I should have talked about ti before, but live and learn.
My question is, if you havn't played most of the songs, what is a reasonable amount of time to learn them with a once a week practice?
