Playing with a Band, Part 1
In this lesson, Scott talks about the joys and challenges of playing with a band, especially one in which the various rhythmic duties of the instruments change during the course of a song, with some instruments playing solos, some players focusing more on singing, etc. It’s essential when playing rhythm in a band to listen to your fellow musicians and react to what they’re playing in order to create a solid groove. Scott gives you advice about how you can change your playing to make a band work better depending on what the other instruments are doing as well as the kinds of things to listen for and do as a song progresses.
