[QUOTE="Leif, post: 6313882, member: 48762"] Of course, the downside to this deal is that now, with my shiny new Les Paul, my 40W Peavey amp, my Shure mic, and a 15W Marshall to power the mic, I am fresh out of excuses as to why I'm not gigging at local clubs. All I really need now is to get some good practice time in the ol' woodshed, and work up a 40-50 minute set, and throw my butt out there on a stage. I don't want to have to depend on other people, so I'm thinking about concentrating on songs that I can pull-off without a band. That makes me want to concentrate on doing electrified blues. Most rock songs require at least a bass, but Black Sabbath songs have the bass almost playing in unison with Iommi's rhythm riff, so that's a possibility, too. Black Sabbath's music is only about an inch-and-a-half away from Blues, anyway. Singing Ozzy's lyrics is going to be a problem, however. I have a bass/baritone voice, so I won't be screeching out N.I.B. or Iron Man. On the other hand, Dio is more of a baritone, but I can't do much of his screaming, either. [/QUOTE]
