Consecutive nights of band performances from Monday to Thursday drained most of me. We played about 2 hours per night but the heat and energy used was tremendous. It was fun though. I gained more and more experience in backing a singer, like a singer will suddenly want to change key, change song, or even improvise. As a backing band, we just have to try our best to suit the singer, even more important: make the singer sound good.
As usual, many last-minute songs were played and off course i knocked into some wrong keys, chords as well. Best of all, I can feel that I am adapting it fast and felt more easily from the first day to the last day.
The best thing I have learnt so far in playing a backing band is, you have to know all keys and their respective key signatures well, and be able to transpose songs on the spot. Just remembering movable chords or scale box patterns aint enough, but have to really turn at a flash. I have to admit I did made some wrong turns. But i wil be better as time goes by.
It was fun for eh… for almost half the week.. we had supper after every show and when i reached home, it was already 3am.
Fittingly, it was Jenny’s birthday on 18th April, so we bought a cake and celebrated her big day during show-break.
