I auditioned for a covers band tonight.. got a text on the drive home to say I'm in... seems like a fairly professional outfit and the pay is alright... I'm no longer worried about saving enough $$ for my US trip, I'm pretty chuffed.
Anyway their setlist is huge and I've only got about 10 days before my first gig... they said I'd have to know the critical accents (e.g snare hits in Bruno Mars - Treasure) but mostly they weren't too strict on playing everything exactly like the recordings.
So - to the covers guys - how do you best go about learning songs quickly? I don't think I could download all the songs on the setlist even if I tried... would a spotify play list be a good bet? I haven't got an account... or maybe you know of something else?
I thing I'm going to have to learn to start charting stuff. I've never charted songs out before, is it best to do it by hand or is there a good app I could use on my android pad?
Any tips you can offer are welcome!
