Top 10 Tips For Open Mic Nights
Open mic night tips
- Learn 10 -20 most popular songs - Brown Eyed Girl, Wagon Wheel, Tennessee Whiskey, Something in the Orange, etc… and/or pick songs you and your friends know or songs that are popular where you live…
- Invite your friends whether musicians or not, they can encourage you, pick on you (to keep you humble, etc)
- Don’t drink before you play, you may think you sound better, but you probably don’t (if you drink)
- Only play a 2 or 3 songs and then get off the bandstand, unless they invite you to stay or to come back up later
- Always encourage other musicians who “get up there” - keeping in mind what goes around comes around, and its better to lift others up rather than tear them down - most will return the favor
- Stay humble
- Don't be afraid to ask what key they are playing in, if someone else "calls a tune"
- Practice ear training when ever you can - so that you can improve your ears - very much needed to play with other musicians, especially if someone calls a tune you don't know yet (do a search here in the group, I've talked about this before)
- Take a tablet (iPad) or phone with you, if you need to look up the chords real quick
- Have fun!
