To me the biggest mistake any one can make while assembling a live show is to not first map out who your band is going to be.Think like a Real Band how many players & what do they play. keep it consistent just like a RealBand. This is my band:
1. Bass=Me
2. Vocals=Me
3. Drummer= Always some form of Nashville.Drummer only has one kit
4. Acoustic guitar=varied
5. Keys= piano, organ, strings. Just remember he only has 2 hands
6. Elect. Guitar=doubles on Sax. Stop the Elect. Rhythm when soloing.
7. Steel Player= doubles on Elect. Guitar.

When someone asks me how I do what I do I tell them" these are all tracks that I've arranged & produced using live musicians that I have paid to play.If you listen you'll see that the band has a consistent sound of it's own"
