Pretending you are playing?? What's next? Not showing up and just expect to get paid ?...I'll just pretend I didn't read this
Well that’s an interesting point because I know many really good musicians who are excellent players and they use midi files. Why ?…. Simply because they can’t get the bookings anymore because the guys who don’t know how to play keyboards are using midi files, and sounding a million times better than the guys really playing arranger keyboards.
Yes, it’s a sad fact and there’s nothing you can do about it. It’s just the way of the world.
I actually know two guys how have been gigging for over 7 years pretending to play. No kidding, but these guys really don’t even know how to play the Scale of C. They pretend to play the keyboards while a Mini Disk player plays back Karaoke recording.
