    Show notes Dave Hamilton's drumstick with message "Don't Think...Just Concentrate" for Gig Gab 291

    ‘Don’t think so much… just concentrate.’ These were the words Jaco said to a young Peter Erskine… easier said than done, but oh so right! Listen as Dave and Paul talk through their own versions of these, especially as it relates to truly learning the music you’re playing.

    Then it’s on to discussing pricing ourselves as musicians as we begin to emerge from our respective lockdowns. Lots to think about here, and the past is only able to provide a few hints for us to go with. The rest we’ll have to make up on our own! Always be performing folks, especially when you’re not.

    Before too long, what was once challenging becomes normal and comfortable, even if the music you’re playing is universally agreed to be “challenging”. So.. what to do?

    Focus on your discomfort, that’s what!

    Paul and Dave talk through this and share some recent experiences they’ve had in this department. Then it’s on to picking songs for your band, including a new litmus test your two favorite weekend warriors haven’t discussed in the past!

    Show notes The Stage of Tomorrow - Gig Gab 289 episode image

    What does the stage of tomorrow look like? What does the rehearsal room of tomorrow look like? Sometimes these themes just come together as your two favorite weekend warriors get to chatting, and this week certainly hits that mark.

    Listen as Dave Hamilton and Paul Kent talk through the tech — and future tech — that might exist to really help us evolve our setups in meaningful ways. Dave has been able to test his new “no PA” studio with Fling lately, and he and Paul talk through in-ear tech, portable amps, and more as they paint a rosy image of our cleaner, quieter futures.

    Against anyone’s better judgment, Dave also wades into the rant pool today with a bit of commentary on the music gear industry. Look out!

    And remember … press play … and always be performing.
