Hey, guys! I saw a post on here the other day about upcoming gigs, and now that I have one I wanted to comment, but I'm too lazy to go looking for the post. So I'll just mention it here.
I have my first (bass-playing) gig next Friday, the first. It's a school art gallery and they were looking for students to sing and play instruments during the event. So far, I know I've been given a 20-30 minute set. So far I have about 6 songs locked down. I kind of stressed because I've only really played simple stuff on my bass, considering I've only ever played on my worship team at my youth group, and once at one of my choir concerts. However, I'm picking the harder stuff up pretty easily. I'm kind of proud of myself, considering four out of those six songs I have so far are Beatles songs, and I know for a fact that some people are kind of scared to even touch anything to do with Paul's playing. I've learned the easiest stuff I could find, though. If you're curious what the songs in my setlist are so far, here ya are (in order of which I'll play them):
1. Handle With Care - Traveling Wilburys
2. Lady Madonna - The Beatles
3. Come Together - The Beatles
4. End of the Line - Traveling Wilburys
5. Can't Buy Me Love - The Beatles
6. All My Loving - The Beatles
As you can see, I need some other artists tossed in there. So I made this post in hopes of both looking for tips for your first gig (literally anything), and some song suggestions, that are preferably easy to play while singing melody.
Thanks, guys.
