NOTE

Performing at a Guitar Festival and Auditioning for Jeff Beck's Band

The musician reflects on the experience of performing at a prominent guitar festival and receiving a solo opportunity from Jeff Beck. They emphasize the importance of being excited and passionate rather than nervous, as fear can limit performance. The solo opportunity came during a festival where Jeff Beck, known for his iconic solo in the song 'Cosmetics Lovers,' generously gave the bass player a chance to solo. This generosity is a reflection of Beck's overall musical approach. The musician also recounts a memorable audition for Beck's band, where despite getting food poisoning on the way, they were able to impress Beck with their solo performance, leading to a new bass solo being included in the band's repertoire.
