I know I've read it somewhere before, but I forgot what I read and where I read it...
I play in a few coverbands varying "folk" to Party band to a Caro Emerald coverband..
It's a question I hear regularly from guitarists, drummers and/or singers: Why do you need sheet music?
I only have a few vague feelings why but I cant put my finger on it.:
some of these vague ideas:
1: It would be like a guitarists having to play a solo through a whole song and do that 3 sets long?
2: we don't have a "fixed place" in the music we balance between melody and support and sometimes even a counter melody (probably not the correct english term for those last 2 but I hope you understand)
3: most guitar parts have fixed chords for chorus and verse (maybe a bridge or 2) and the wind instruments mostly have different notes / rythms to ensure a proper build of tension in the song?
these are just my guesses, has anyone have a better explanation or better yet a more simple explanation?
