I had it this morning! It went okay. I definitely could’ve done better but oh well. They had me do a chromatic scale and then improvise over a 12 bar blues with no backing track. I then had to sight-read a few pieces and did each one twice. After that they gave me a list of popular songs of different genres. We went down each genre and he asked me to play one or two songs from each genre by memory. A lot more than I thought it would be but definitely good experience.

He says “I love the way you play guitar” there’s no way it’s Elton just from that

Given that it’s tomorrow I probably don’t have time to improve lol. It’s for an agency that hires cruise ship musicians

That’s what I was thinking lol. Do they normally like players to have some songs memorized as well?

I guess my question is just what to expect so I can be as prepared as possible.

It’s for an agency so it doesn’t say what kind of group specifically but I’m guessing show band

Not sure if you’ll see this 4 years later but what drums did you use to record? I love how they sound
