for the first time getting together I would rate it highly..Jessee kept on telling me I was killin' it, "sounding really good" on "Can't You See" and actually wanted me to play more lead soloing..(the second time thru) than the actual Marshall Tucker Band did on that tune, in which I obliged him.. reason why we did it a second time was that Jesse wanted us to (well, I don't know the Italian musical word for it) slowly play "lighter" gradually until we come to silence so he can do the refrain singing CAN'T YOU SEE CAN'T YOU SEE WHAT THAT WOMAN HAS BEEN DOING TO ME repeating several times and then spontaneously on cue starting the D-C-G chorus, quite an easy tune, but really fun to improvise guitar lead soloing..I love bending notes on electric guitar and can do 3 octave bends and ghost bends quite readily..
timing issues or should say tempo issues with "Devil In The Bottle" that song HAS TO BE PLAYED SLOW PERIOD or it won't work.. those beautiful pedal steel parts just won't be able to be fitted in.. it never got off the ground too mucjh because of this problem, found out the practice period from now on is 1:30 to 6:00 PM on Sundays
I am thinking the leader is wanting to go the originals route, but Jesse kept insisting need covers at a 4:1 ratio starting out.. it was really fun and I only wished I had one of those pocket digital recorders now at 99.00 or whatever, I might buy one this week just to post to board the sound
