I no too gbadun Naija setting. Anytime, I hear Naija bands play, it always feel like something is missing in the musical arrangement. I had the opportunity to play with my church band some weeks ago (not in Nigeria) and I could feel the difference. Our arrangement had only four guitars: two semi - acoustic guitars (I played one as a back-up), one electric guitar and lastly one bass guitar (played by a female). We had a drum set but no piano/keyboard and the experience was totally different. That day, I found out that many Nigerian bands lacked the strumming sounds of acoustic guitars. My observation though...

Nice contributions up there too...

We too like tungba for this country.I'm yet to find that church that would conduct praise and worship solely dependent on rhythm provided by guitar in Nigeria.Itz very "unnigerian".I tried playing in church last year's new year eve(cross over night) and the keyboardist simply didn't care if I heard myself-made it look like twaz a competition...smh.I stopped playing after some minutes

Good to be back
Your guitar is nice too.I'll upgrade much later.I want to switch for now.Thinking of getting myself a Tobias Toby IV deluxe electric bass.My acoustic playing is on a downward spiral.I simply don't find motivation playing.The few pple I knw play lead and aren't dat interested in chords.I want to try something different for now.My love for Acoustic guitar will surely remain intact

@Nastydroid, I thought your fingering technique was already beyond amateur? Aren't you the one teaching how to play scales on this thread? Listen to another one of my short recordings here:

@Nastydroid, I listened to your recordings and they were quite cool. Tell me, what is your guitar brand? I really don't feel the quality of the sound output...

any band without a keyboardist is incomplete..

Suresh08: any band without a keyboardist is incomplete..

Every musical instrument has its role in a musical piece. Depending on how you see it, keyboards are optional just like guitars. A combination of string instruments can easily take the role of keyboard ing any band. My point is this, many Nigerian keyboardist that play in churches tend to want to greedily 'usurp' the role of other instruments. This is the basis of the competition we are referring to...

Haven't heard of that brand before. What is your string gauge number? If you're going to buy a semi-acoustic model, make sure it's either Cort, Fender, Yamaha, Shure, Gibson or Martin. Cheers. Any comment on my recording though?
