This guy clearly is using an iPad to remember the chords and lyrics. Pity as he seems like he might have potential...

Here was one of her more simple tunes: I ran a 5 year long weekly soul gig. Different singers every week. 14 songs per week. ...all this, and I'm a guitar player that willwalks into the kitchen to get a glass of water, forget what I went in there for and don't remember until I walk back into the living room and sit down. The struggle is real! Last edited by The Kid!; 10-30-2018 at 06:51 PM. |

Hmmmm....Saw Sinatra once. He used a TelePrompter and we all know what a hack he was. Saw James Taylor in the third row and he showed the crowd his set list written on a poster board on the stage in front of him. He sucks as well and clearly has no emotional connectivity with his audience. I only hope you’re joking. Otherwise, let us know how the view is from the mountaintop. |

I actually recorded this video with my iPad while my keyboard player took a solo. Now I could have recorded it with creepy eye contact fro my mental databanks, but I chose a medium in which I could share with others. Toney uses an iPad for some charting as well. I can't WAIT to tell him he's not a pro. Last edited by Kerbie; 10-30-2018 at 07:07 PM. Reason: Removed profanity |

If I am attending a performance, for me there is nothing absolutely nothing worse than seeing a vocalist reading the lyrics off of a screen of any description.
It absolutely and totally destroys that magical connection between performer and audience. If you are going to sing to an audience, then just memorize the lyrics. It's not that difficult At a rough estimate I can sing over 150 songs and they will be word perfect every time. ... no chord charts, no written lyrics, no iPads, no nothing. All in memory. What does help is to "dust off" all the songs you are going to play at any given gig by singing them on the morning of the gig ... that will help to prevent any embarrassing memory lapses during the actual gig. Practice makes perfect. |

In addition to an amateur guitarist, I am an amateur violist. I have access to concerts by our local chamber music society bringing in some of the top string quartets in the business. Absolute professional touring musicians and resident quartets in places like Lincoln Center. I have noted a definite trend in their use of the IPad controlled by foot pedal as opposed to traditional sheet music. I have never tried it, but would not exclude doing so.

Sheesh. Nothing worse than getting ten beats into a song and realize I was supposed to capo three. I'lll cheat, thank you very much, and it's better for my guitars if I use an iPad rather than masking tape and index cards. If I have lyrics up, it's not to read the words while I play. It's to make sure, once I get to the third verse, how it starts. Keeps me from singing the second verse twice. And if you haven't done that, you haven't performed enough songs. Get back to me in a few decades.

Try playing for a handful of different groups and having to learn 14 new songs per week for one of your gigs, as well as constantly adding new material to your solo acoustic gig. For the record, I could probably do 150 songs from memory. The problem is that I can play and sing many more than that. Quote:
You don't have to be glued to an ipad or music stand. It's there to quickly glance at between verses. You can have it off to the side and out of the way too. They're useful tools and unless you need to make creepy eye contact in a death star tractor beam stare, you should be ok. Incorrect. Perfect practice makes perfect, if there's enough of it. Really though, nothing? Absolutely nothing worse than seeing a vocalist reading the lyrics off of a screen? I'd throw in out of key singing, uncomfortable seating, a fire alarm, and sitting next to someone with horrible body odor as being far worse than seeing someone destroy a magical connection by glancing at some lyrics here and there. Unless you're just kidding and trying to be overly dramatic for effect. In that case: Well played! Last edited by The Kid!; 10-30-2018 at 08:35 PM. |

This last post assumes that the guitar player can memorize words to dozens if not hundreds of songs. I am 69 years old and cannot memorize and keep those words in my head long enough to play them for my audiences. How about a little empathy for us older folks. I have parts of hundreds of songs from as far back as the early 60's when I started playing and could memorize so much so fast. Not that way anymore.
