How did your karaoke session go?

Every year millions of people around the year Karaoke their way to self gratification in their local bars, bowling alleys, workplaces and other venues around the world. Each singer has in their own mind how good they are. The best of the best make each song their own.

Then comes guitar Karaoke.

Playing a guitar to a track of a known or unknown song. How do you make a known song your own song. Do you change it enough to be individual, or do you change it to make it unrecognizable. You could and do well at that.

Think comes KOTB, Guitar Karaoke at it's peak. Comparable to American Idol, maybe not, but then again, maybe. Everyone thinks they can sing, well almost everyone, but not everyone thinks they can play the guitar. Those who can play the guitar are sometime clouded by ideas that they can play all styles of music the same way.

Think about your favorite band

Then think about them without their guitar player. Then think about them without their lead singer.
