Hey /mu/ recovering from trauma in my past, basically, therapist and psychiatrists said take it slow, but take baby steps. Went outside to the park for 20 minutes, felt good in my shit neighborhood (lots of crime, lots of dindu), so what does this have to do with music?
Well I want to play an open mic in a month from now. And that would be a big thing for me.
96 decides what song I play. Intermediate skill. Solos no problem.
Have a shitty $200 dreadnought epiphone acoustic, made it sound nicer with brass coated heavy strings and .92mm dunlops.
>tfw 19 years old and never been to a concert, all my old friends went to fucking lollapalooza last year, no more friends anyway

Coil - The Anal Staircase
>>63144419
You'll probably play a shitty cover and eat up valuable time and a spot from real musicians that write their own material.

Thank you anons, really appreciate it. Listening and enjoying so far.
>>63145118
this please!!!!
Or american Pie in it's entiretty, people will love that ;)
>>63145145
real musicians? homie you ever been to an open mic? 99% of the time they're laid back places for people to have fun with no pressure, covers are totally fine
>>63145197
I've been to tons of open Mics where people play boring covers. If I wanted to see Bob Dylan I'd buy tickets to see Bob Dylan.
Ante up motherfucker.
>>63145197
Its OK anon, identifying shit post is my part time job, thanks to /a/ I've obtained employment at The Shittington Poster
>>63145170
Didn't consider that, as likable as the song is it seems a bit long for an open mic to me, but who knows, I already know it by heart.
Death In June - enemy within
or just do Famous Blue Raincoat like you know you want to
Comus - Song to Comus
Wondring aloud by Jethro Tull..
Or pretty much anything by the grateful dead. For example Box of Rain or maybe Eyes of the World. whatever
Goodluck with your trauma friendo

Death Cab for Cutie - Your Heart is an Empty Room
Abso perfect for your situation

that image is ass
>>63145248
yeah but the difference is you don't buy tickets to an open mic
you just show up and hope a couple people are cool
like every now and then you get an old dude who wrote an awful song about 9/11 that makes ya laugh, if i want to try to find unknown local talent i go to house shows and shit
>>63145634
There are no house shows where I live, even the open Mics are a bloodbath.
Brand New - Sowing Season
Replacements - Can't Hardly Wait
>>63145250
It was joke about american pie, the song would be agonizing in an open mic context
>>63145918

If shouting Freebird is wrong then I don't want to be right.
>>63146846
You're doing god's work, anon
>>63144419
play some fuckin bob dylan, something old people will know. Don't overestimate your voice though, choose something you know you can kill
>>63146899
I shouted it the last place I went to, band was fucking horrible.
I play at an open mic night pretty often, in the past Say It Ain't So by Weezer went down a treat.
Basically, if its a boozer where people don't take themselves too seriously its probably better to do songs people know. I did a Kanye/Drake/Kendrick/Timberlake medley last time that people were really into.
If its a more serious open mic(where you get cunts doing poetry and things), then do something with a bit more emotional resonance to you.
>>63145250
Don't play American Pie lol, nice song but it's both cliche and long which is a really horrible combination.
Something by Mac Demarco maybe? Short, cheerful, fairly easy to play, popular enough to be accessible without being wonderwall tier https://youtu.be/LtQ7oXXykSM?t=6m23s
