Play Better Be Home Soon by Crowded House

Written by Troy Spro

Better Be Home Soon is a song by Crowded House off the Temple of Low Men album and below, I’ll do my best to help you to play this song on your guitar.

Crowded House at this time was made up of Neil Finn, Nick Seymour, and Paul Hester.

Better Be Home Soon was released in 1988 as a single as well as on Temple of Low Men at the same time.

It is a great and relatively easy song to play on your acoustic guitar too.

I have played this song many times over the years since that release but thought it was time to revisit it on the acoustic guitar and share the chords with you.

The chords for guitar are below for you with a few notes too, and also the video for the song off Youtube so you don’t have to go hunting for it.

Picking the right microphone for your PA System

Written by Troy Spro

If you are just starting out, looking at buying a PA, or even just upgrading your microphones, the task can be daunting so I thought I’d share a bit of knowledge in picking the right microphone for your PA without breaking the bank.

Picking the right microphone can be made into a simple task by having a look at what you do and what you want to achieve.

You can of course purchase a microphone for every situation if you want, and have a fair bit of cash stored to do this.

Or you can keep it simple and pick a couple of different microphone types that will suit many different situations and uses.

I use to play live more than recording so the choice of microphones to cover vocals and instruments was pretty much all that was needed.

I/we used Shure in pretty much all of the bands I was in after we started to play regular pug and tavern gigs.

Shure are a great microphone brand, I still have the original ones I bought and can pretty much guarantee that when I get the urge to set up the PA and give it nudge I just plug them in and they still perform as new after years and years of use and travel.

There were the 2 options, again this keeps the selection down for you and if your main vocalist wants to fork out for a premium vocal microphone they can.
