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.

      Hey all,
      I thought maybe we should take a look at who’ll be playing what this weekend.

      I’ll be bringing an acoustic, an electric and a bass and can do vocal duty on any of the songs. I’ll also bring an amp in case we need it.

      This is what I’ve had a look at:
      What's Up? – Rhythm, lead and basic bass
      Down on the corner – ‘lead’ and bass
      Hallelujah – finger picking and simple bass
      TNT – Bass and rhythm

      What have other people been looking at?

      Though my bass is medicore at best (Only started playing again now after +-7 years) I'll be able to handle:
      What's Up?, Down on the corner and Hallelujah

      Can do vocals for hallelujah and backup on Down on the corner.
      The playing and singing together thing still escapes me

      Yeti I will being electric guitar, ukulele, and a rehearsal amp with multi effects pedal. Also a kazoo for Down on the Corner.

      What's Up - Rhythm guitar
      Down on the corner - Will work on simple rhythm to go with the repeating lead pattern (which I could also do, albeit not brilliantly)
      Hallelujah - Strumming (should sound nice alongside a finger picking pattern)
      TNT - Will probably be very dodgy for me, I haven't spent time on it

      NO SINGING FROM ME!!!!

          William Beetge - Bass, vocals - Lu22
          Stefan Cronje - guitar - Hasie
          Adrian van der Merwe - Rhythm - slowpoet
          De Sousa Norio - - NorioDS
          Denuyschen Andre (backup singers)
          Bevan - guitar,vocals - yeti
          Makushla - vocals

          slowpoet De Sousa Norio - - NorioDS

          I haven't had a chance to practise anything so I'll open and close on the day and cheer on from the sides ?

          Will still bring my main axe and my micro terror coz I need to hear it through a 4x12 cab ?

            NorioDS I need to hear it through a 4x12 cab

            I forecast a severe case of G.A.S...great thing about rehearsal studio's - is the chance to really crank your gear ?

              NorioDS I haven't had a chance to practise anything s

              Same here. I will be hitting my name with a plank. Will try not to break the rhythm, but you okes can tell me go outside and rather drink beer than play - that's okay too.

                  But it's part of my master plan :-) Choosing songs that you could learn in 20 minutes and so still be able to play along.

                  I tried yesterday and this morning. Can't even learn one in 20 minutes. I will bring my smallest amp so that it will be drowned out by the others. ;-)

                    Thanks guys, that was great fun. Looking forward to the next one!

                    I wanna say a special thank you to @slowpoet for organising the event! Herding musicians is not different to herding cats ?

                    And @Yeti, thanks for coordinating on the day. You really helped keep the jam moving forward. It's far too easy for us musos to get sidetracked and just generally be disorganised. So your work on the day was appreciated!

                    I think we all had a lekker jam.

                    So... shall we get going on organising the next one? I'll start another thread and we can take it from there?

                    Awesome!
                    Many thanks to all for making it a success.
