obviously KB's advice is great.

I was told that the one thing that you can do to increase your employability as a sideman immediately is get good at backing vocals. You give them officially one less person they need to find and hire, and are a step ahead of some of the competition (and on the same level as a lot of the rest).

Well that's a really great idea.

I've been rehearsing with a mandolin player and we've been working on harmonizing. It's a tricky thing, but extremely valuable.
