Rock Band (2 for 1 edition)

Playing Rock band at the White house raises a lot of questions, one of which is : Can a single person play guitar AND sing, and do it successfully ?

It’s possible. My first try was with a song I knew well (“Roxanne” by the Police) and I got through it.

But there’s one little fact that keeps me from thinking I could do this consistently : the tambourine.

See, when you’re not singing, you’re supposed to thump the microphone in time with a given tambourine part. Well, with both hands taken up with guitar playing, there’s no appendage left to do said thumping.

I did my best bobby McFerrin to get through these parts, but I doubt I could do a difficult song. So I’m still on-instrument-at-a-time.
