So this is the sequel to Garage Days in Pretoria

ABOUT THE VENUE

This is Gregory Wall's practise venue and it's in a 3m x 6m single garage for a nice old school garage band feel.

There's:

  • 2x10 bass amp
  • 2x 4x12 guitar cabs
  • PA system with 2 mics and a mixer
  • Drumkit (bring own cymbals)
  • Stands

Let's start with picking some songs. I figure we can fit in 3 songs and a blues jam at the end like we did last time.

@slowpoet, you happy to guide the process again?

    NorioDS @Lu22 any requests for songs within your vocal range?

    Appreciated!
    Wicked Game - Stone Sour
    Basket Case - Green Day
    Behind Blue Eyes - Limp Bizkit
    Stuff along those lines. Will look through my song book and check for others that are fun to play.

      Lu22 Out of that list, I love Wicked Game and Behind Blue Eyes. Although I'm sure Basket Case is very accessible and fun to jam.

      So I'm pretty happy with those.

      @slowpoet, @Yeti, @Hasie, anyone else — thoughts?

          Happy with the selection.

            May I suggest we take those three plus one song from someone else (I suspect @Yeti will have some ideas) for variety and then 12 bar blues (perhaps in E for variety)

            I quite like what has been suggested already.

            I'll give it some proper thought when I have two moments to rub together but I have had success at jam sessions with Sweet Child of Mine and Nothing Else Matters. Everyone knows them and they are pretty simple... although we should probably arrange for someone to learn the solos.

            We can also look at some of the simpler jazz standards and possibly even some country tracks for variety.

            Hey fellers
            Im chucking Hells Bells or Shook me all night long in for consideration.
            Hopefully i can make this next sesh

            When do you guys wanna do this? I'll be out of town a few times during September, so I will see if I can make it.

              Will need to check with the boss but 15 September should work for me.

                slowpoet Oooh I'm at Comic-Con all day.

                If someone else wants to collect keys from the security guards and unlock/lock then that can work.

                Otherwise the 22nd can work. I just have to leave on time to get to my BIL's birthday after.

                    22nd should be fine

                      22nd is good for me too. Forgot i have a Cape Vidal trip planned for the weekend of the 15th.
