I should be able to come along... gotta check the "schedule" with the missus first in case she's booked something else in!

Lead | Rhythm | and general tom-foollarry!

I'd like to join as well if there is still space.
I'm primarily a vocalist but can play a little guitar and even a little bass if you're desperate (and don't mind dodgy timing :-P). Will get hold of slowpoet to confirm.

    And I haven't had a chance to practice any of the songs. Work is craycray again. I should maybe just try and learn one for the day. Not that I have enough sound to compete with a drummer, so maybe the no drummer is not all that bad. Though a drummer to keep time would be great.

    Did the four songs at vox lessons last week. TNT and What's Up are definitely out of my range vocally, but I can take the other two.

    I need to move to JHB or something... lol...
    Also with life kicking our butts the last while my wife and I will be taking the opportunity and making a long weekend that overlaps the PTA garage day... so a day trip to PTA for me is not gonna happen :-(

    I've gone through them too. TNT is riiiight at the top of my range so I should be able to give that a shot, although I probably won't be able to talk the next day ?
    What's Up isn't in a good key for men. If we don't have a female vocalist around then I'd suggest that we change key to E or F... possibly even G if we're feeling adventurous. It's a simple song so should be easy enough.

      Yeti G would be the easiest! But maybe we can still swing a female singer.

          slowpoet You can put it into E without barred chords easily enough. Put the cappo on 2 and use the D, Em and G shapes.

              I have a CAPO that I can use for What's Up. Only problem is, it bends the strings sharp on my electtic - I think it's meant for an acoustic.

                Put the capo on and retune to F#, B, E, A, C#, F#.

                  For what it's worth, the original is A,Bm and D without a capo.

                    I've emailed everyone the address, let me know if you don't receive it

                      I have some stupid questions, as I never play from chord "sheets". What is the meaning of the pipe "|"?
                      If it says capo 2 and you have to play a G chord, the it is an open G chord or the G barre at fret 5 with the capo on 2, right?
                      This means I can play an A chord if I do not have a suitable capo, right...
                      On What's Up as an example the chord are: G Am C G. So if I do not use a capo, it is A Bm D A, correct?

                      On hallelujah, the chord are in the key of C, so if done on capo 4, it will be in the key of E and the key of G on capo 7. I just want to "transpose" these, My capo is a bit kak and bends the strings sharp and my tuner can only do standard E tuning, so re-tuning after putting the capo on is not possible.

                      Hasie I use the pipe to show when 2 (or more) chords are in 1 bar. A lot of people just play with the song and ignore them.

                      Capo means put capo on 2, play the open G shape (which now is actually an A).

                      You are correct about Whats Up. that's how the band played it originally.

                      For halleljuah, that is how they are usually given. So transpose away, it should make the overall sound a lot richer.
