I've decided, i have to do it! There's this guy in my year called Russel who is an AWESOME guitarist and is always per4ming in assembley! I have to prove that i am better... lol!

I'm gonna give myself at least a month to prepare.

Here is what i will play...

1. Sweet child 'O Mine intro riff (fully, i will be sat down to play this)

2. I then stand up and play Nirvana - Smells like Teen Spirit (The main riff lots of times)

3. I then do a few improvised licks and break into Day tripper by thye beatles.

4. And finally I go sit on the edge of the stage and play Purple rain for about a minute.

5. On my way out i rip a poster of the wall which will be a giant Prince symbol o(-+>

Any advice?

Tape it with mini disc recorder

That's an awesome idea. I have to record it! Thanks!

GoldenGlove said:

Tape the poster ripping, i especially want to see that! and post it!

seriously, good luck, knock their socks off, or erm..if they're not wearing socks, knock their heads off, I think.

Lleena said:

Thanks! I'm about to print the poster on my computer now. it's just a big white sheet with a massive black "o(+>" on it

It's gonna be cool.

GoldenGlove said:

why dont you serenade the librarian and the dinner ladies by way of apology?



they might let you back in the library.

you can always stick your guitar where the sun don't shine.

u know i luv ya GG!

Seriously though, any more good advice about the per4mance?

Anyone? i really need advice.

GoldenGlove said:

Just be a good guitar-player. And don't wear a Hawaï-shirt.

ok, thanks i guess

what advice do you need lil' fella?
you are either going to turn it out or you are going to screw it up-
those are the options for a live performance,it is very "of the moment".
don't think too much about it.
learn the songs you are performing and just play for the people,they will either love you or throw chairs and bubblegum at you.
it is quite hard to command a stage,be warned.
most world-class performers are just born with it.
it is not something you can learn from a book so to speak.
my advice-do it all the way or don't do it at all.
now,bend over and spell run...

Go kick some butt!!!!!

Just please, no confetti from the ceiling.


M

knock them dead

make sure the amp is not directly in front of your art teacher, she will not like it much

ok, cool thansk

remember Harmonics is about "touch"

TheRealFiness said:

Huh? please explain!

GoldenGlove said:

playing harmonics ( ask your guitar teacher) sweet chile o' mine the opening riff is all harmonics.

TheRealFiness said:

Can't u tell me?

GoldenGlove said:

its all about the touch of the strings on the frets u achieve a higher tone, for the perfect example, listen to roundabout by "Yes" the opening is all harmonics

ok, thanks anyway.

Any more advice... i'm nervous.

We only had assemblies at the end of school term.

Where do you go to school? It sounds like an episode of Fame. Do you all dance on the canteen tables at lunchtime?

that nerdy guy in the middle, what did he do?

charlottegelin said:

Mime - a lot of the time.

He was a self-confessed 'mo in the movie, but not so in the TV series.

BinaryJustin said:

a promising career in mime was the movie rated differently to the series?

charlottegelin said:

I'm pretty sure it was an 18 certificate when released theatrically in the UK, but that would be the equivalent of a 15 certificate now. There used to be an X certificate, which was above 18. I think the movie got it's rating from all of Leroy's cussing.

The most offensive thing in the series was Doris Schwartz's "Wizard Of Oz" dream sequence, which lasted for a whole episode.
