Guitar Talk is putting together a 3 hour garage play together session on 22 September 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

Wicked Game - Stone Sour
Basket Case - Green Day
Nothing Else Matters - Metallica
Shook me all night long - AC/DC

For jamming goodness: 12 bar blues (in E), perhaps with this pattern: E,A,E,E, A,A,E,E, B7,E,A,A

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
1 2x10 bass amp
2 4x12 guitar cabs (no heads)
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 at a time (if 1 is a drummer and 1 is a vocalist and no-one has personal space issues), so please don't RSVP if you're not sure you can make it.

    We have a drummer who is very keen, though we should organise a cymbal or two as he doesn't currently have. Anyone able to bring something?

      I have a rubbish cymbal i can bring. When i say rubbish.. its shart. Like playing ride on your bonnet. But im happu to bring it. Put me down as rsvp.. or do i have to email?

      I think the thing drummer needs the most is a hi-hat rather than ride or crash cymbals

      Just a thought, can we maybe put together a suggestions thread where we can keep track of possible songs for future jam sessions, as well as songs we've done in the past? Could make them easier to plan going forward.

        Ok, I'm out. Just broke my arm. I can still coordinate, but won't be able to attend

        Oh damn.. sorry to hear bud.. jees. Hope it wasnt a bad break. Speedy recovery

        Put me on the list. Will see if I can make it. May have some travel plans to finalise on that weekend. I will as per the previous time, not practice before the time - underwent emergency surgery a few days ago and can barely stand/sit, let alone hold a guitar.

        Eina. Hope you recover to shred level soon.

            Hasie (maybe)

              I'm a solid maybe at the moment. I'd like to be there but the wife is out of the country that weekend so I may be stuck on babysitting duty if I can't make a plan. I'll hopefully know in a week or two.

                I'll definitely be there. Really doubt I'll be able to practise beforehand but maaaaaybe I can sneak in a bit of bass practise somewhere. Highly doubt it though. Work is mad.

                Sounds like work is getting crazy for a lot of peeps. I suppose everyone's begun that sprint towards the December break. Everything need to get done, yesterday!

                Yeti granny to the rescue! Looks like I'll be there.

                    Okay so apparently I have a camp the 22nd. Sorry guys.
