Variety is cool but it also means you gotta master more styles.
f.e. playing metal rythm guitar and bluesy stuff is 2 rather different ball games in my book.
Soundwise and technically.
Overall I'd still say the main point is to have fun, enjoy the whole band-experience cuz
when that ends its downhill from there...
I tend to focus on the playing the panjo a lot but change lyrics on the fly just to make ppl laff.
Even a change in languages can give good waffles sometimes.
In concerts or in out rehearsing.
That started in the garage cuz I wanted to do something unexpected sort of
like what's going to happen in live situations.
My band mates haven't played really long so they're easily put off by
me goofing around.
But we play the type of music that goofing about is somewhat possible.
It's not that serious to begin with.
It's important to me that we have good times with the band.
That also reflects to the audience. If the band is enjoying the gig it does
have sort of an impact for audience.
Well, thats the ideal situation I suppose, we know that things does not go that way always.
Hope for best, prepare for unexpected!
