The thing about the "solo guy with guitar" thing is that there is a finite amount of what he can do. With backing tracks there is not. Plus, the 4 beer fueled post above made a great point, that is another "I play with canned tracks" guy sits down to someone using canned tracks, we know what went into those tracks. Remember, the average listener thinks all we do is play those 2 or 3 one hour sets. No practice, no prep....




around here the open mic sessions are mostly populated by the dreaded "solo guy with a guitar" (AKA "strum & Hum act") ... and when you say there's a "finite amount" of what he can do, you are being kind.

Two chords into the second song, I'm ready for the next act.
