I will no longer audition for anyone without online music available for me to pre-auditon them. Wasted too many hours on those who didn't have anything or just had a video where they're playing rhythm (maybe) in the background.
So I renewed my CL ads (looking for a band that needs an acoustic guitarist), and had 3 responses this week. First was too far away (north) and practiced on Wednesday afternoons - guess the guys are all retired. 2nd was too far away (northwest, an hour +) and the music was more bluegrass-old time than what I do.
3rd one, today, nearby, a possibility, but the guy said no music 'recorded' - I gave him a link to my youtube, and asked again (any older stuff/solo, etc). How is it in these days someone who purports to be serious about their musical ambitions not have anything on youtube or recorded in some fashion? Everyone's got a smartphone, it's not hard to record a quick video with one.
