Your drummer isn't going to be able to keep up with most songs off of the earlier albums and I'd think the later albums would be too technical. That's not a diss on your drummer, we all started slow and clumsy, they'll get better in time but 2 months isn't nearly enough time to build the speed and stamina Scott or Travis have. As for you and the bassist, anything simple would be great ... Dammit is most fan's go to, so maybe that and at half time. It's gonna feel awkward and shitty at first but it'll do wonders to build your band's chemistry and skill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedo Posted June 22, 2020 Report Share Posted June 22, 2020 More importantly though, have fun with it and keep your expectations in reality. Work on writing your own stuff so that you're keeping things in the realm of all of your capabilities. Good luck though, have a blast and let me know when/if your guys record something. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May help us suggest stuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Find a slower song that you think is simple enough to play, practise the guitar part religiously first, and then try practising it with singing. Get the basic elements sussed first before putting it all together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
