In episode 127 of the guitar music theory podcast I talk about my recent cover band gig using tracks. Oh, Greetings guitar engineers. I am your host, Desi Cerna, and I'm

here to help you understand music and improve your playing so you can sound better

and have more fun on guitar. Today I'm going to talk about some recent

cover band gigs I played where the band used tracks. I'm going to talk about

some of the songs we played and talk about how I set up my guitar sounds, how we had to play along with a

click track on every song.

I'll talk about how this whole thing was arranged and how I got prepared.

I'm also going to post some short video clips to my social media profiles

where I demonstrate how I approached some of these song parts.

You might find that interesting, so be sure to follow me on Facebook,

Instagram, Tik-Tok and YouTube, whichever platform that you prefer, you can find me on any of those Desi Cerna guitar and look out for

some video clips coming soon that are going to be related to the things I talk

about in today's podcast episode.

And today's episode is going to be a very interesting talk because I really don't have much of

any notes prepared.

I'm just going to talk about it and I've got my guitar here and I'm going to play through some parts and I might even play along with some tracks and just kind of explain what this whole experience was like and how I got prepared for it.

This would be interesting if you're someone that maybe wants to play in a band or you want to kind of get an inside look on what it's like to play in different types of cover bands or how bands would

use tracks and click tracks and you know added instrumentation and how I would approach songs like do I learn them note for note

and might just kind of comping my own parts and reading down a chart I'm going to

talk about all of that stuff so it's going to be a great conversation.

But before we get started, what do you specifically need to do in order to improve your

guitar play?
