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.
