Another gig is on the horizon, and I need to learn 45 songs in the next week! My friends in 80s Invasion asked me if I could fill in for an upcoming show, which means transcribing and learning 45 songs in short order. I also need to program all the necessary guitar patches to play this set. It’ll be a good workout for my new preamp / effects unit, and I’m looking forward to using it in this setting. I haven’t gotten a flight case for it yet so this may be an interesting logistical challenge as well.
Fortunately, a portion of the songs don’t have much exposure on the guitar parts. About a third of the set has songs with signature guitar parts and solos, and I’ll be cramming to learn those elements. It’ll be a good challenge and a fun gig.
