Guitar Talk is putting together a 3 hour garage play together session on 11 August in Silverton. It will run from noon to 3PM.

How it works is: everyone practices the songs listed and then we get together and practise and play them. We will also try a few others on the fly, so to speak.

The songs to practice are
What's Up? - 4 Non Blondes
Down on the Corner - Creedence Clearwater Revival
Hallelujah - Leonard Cohen - Finger picking plus simple strumming
TNT - AC/DC

NOTE: We'd love to see some non-guitar instruments, especially bass or drums. But almost anything could contribute - perhaps not bagpipes, though. :-)

We will provide lyrics sheets and chords as well as the address details when you RSVP. We are asking for R20 donation per person to go towards the cost of the venue (pay on the day)

NOTE: At the venue there is
2x10 bass amp
2 4x12 guitar cabs
PA system with 2 mics
Drumkit (bring own cymbals)
Stands
There are no chairs, so please bring a camping stool or similar if you wish to sit down.

Beginners and vocalists VERY, VERY welcome.

RSVP with Adrian (slowpoet) on adrianvan@mac.com

The space only allows for 7 people, so please don't RSVP if you're not sure you can make it.

Please email to RSVP so that I have your email address and can send your words/chords/links etc.

    Awesome sauce guys!! Man I wish I lived in PTA for this!
    Please do lots of vids and pics of the event. Maybe we can duplicate it in other cities.
    Have fun!

        Mmmmmm.... Maybe I need to pack a picnic basket, my passport, a day pack and head north of the boerewors curtain.

        If we don't end up with a lot of people I might consider it... watching this thread closely.

          No Norio yet, though since he will be unlocking I assume he willbe there :-)

          This sounds great
          Does one bring along your own guitar and come along and join in ?

          Roy Does one bring along your own guitar and come along and join in ?

          Yep pretty much. You'll likely need to bring your own practise amp or amp head as well. If you're going to bring an acoustic, it would be wise to make sure it has pickups or be happy with not being heard ?

            Current list

            William Beetge - Bass, vocals - Lu22
            Stefan Cronje - guitar - Hasie
            Adrian van der Merwe - Rhythm - slowpoet
            NorioDS
            Denuyschen Andre (backup singers)
            Roy (waiting email confirmation)

              So how are people getting along with these songs? Anyone tackling lead guitar parts?

                I will definitely be there. If I am going to play, is still debatable. My electricity supply has been off for 8 days now due to cable theft, blown up substation, repeated cable theft, some more cable theft. I am unable to practice - had to move temporarily.

                Adrian ek het jou ge email daar
                Belowe jy val nie om van die lag nie

                Roy

                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!
