Don't forget to take the tambourine away from the soprano...

Here is my plan;

work out effects which will enable the right chorus effects and the
right
octive effects at the appropriate EQ levels. then make them sound
accustic.
actually, this is easier to do than say.

Take the tamborine away from the soprano

left hand drill is fine. work on right hand technique to get ring finger

disconnected from middle finger. (long ago and far away this was
possible)

take the %&$*@ tamborine away from the soprano

read the bass vocal part and echo it to add sound without muddiness

take advantage of the fact this is a southern country fried band with
simple, slow arrangments

take the %^$#@$% tamborine away from the $%^&*#@ soprano!!!!!

speed up the tempo, for this seems to make the bass part easier.

practice with the rhythm guitarist who uses a strum which nearly matches
the
directions for the snare drums. Play alternating bass drum pluck, higher

note bass strum and contrabass thumbing with his fast "snare" strum.

cut the %$&@# soprano's *$@%$# arms off at the @#$%^& elbos!!!
