Are there any guitar players around that know how to rock??
I'm not just talking about being able to play... I mean look the part, act the part, AND be able to play....professionals....
Don't show up to an audition wearing a torn, dirty t-shirt and hole ridden jeans and sneakers!!! It's a job interview, d**n it!!! You better sound like a god playing, to make up for looking like a loser.
But how can I be so critical of those guys... at least they SHOWED UP!! what about the large % that doesn't even bother to come to the schedule audition?!?! gotta love that!!
I assume I'm not the only one who's lived through this... ugh.. been looking for the right guy/gal for almost 4 months.... had to vent, sorry.... ;D
So... share your best audition stories!
We actually went so far as to give a guy the job at one point -- finally found a decent fit -- yeah right!!!
He didn't bother showing up for the 1st practice! After 60+ mins and 3 calls to his house the wife notified me that she thought he went out to "Dunkin donuts".... since that wasn't even close to the name of the band, we chalked it up as a loss....
so, if anyone knows any reliable pro guitarists, that know how to play and put on a show, shout out!
