In principle.. i am good for the 8th. Guitar.

For an acoustic track.. the unplugged down in a hole by Alice in chains

For electric.. zztop just got paid, or jack whites sixteen saltines

    I forget to mention: I'll have a Ukelele and Guitar (maybe even a guitarelele!!!) depending on final choice of songs

      If we have too many guitarists.. i can double on bass. Just need to know in advance to learn the songs

        slowpoet you're welcome to use one of my guitars if you'd prefer not to bring one on the bike.

            I'm very much a rhythm player and then only barely if I'm singing at the same time so unless we get a real flood I reckon we'll need you on guitar.

              Yeti Norio recommended we move it to somewhere more permanent.

              I don't think we can do that just yet so I've checked with Greg and the usual spot is available for the 8th ?

              I'll be there. Probably rocking my bass. I figure it's the only thing I have time to practise on. Guitar is too hard ?

              Yeti As far as songs go I'd like to put forward Sweet Child of Mine

              Nice! +1

              Yeti and possibly House of the Rising sun

              Love it! Already been jamming this one since I got my looper. +1

                      So it's yeti, slowpoet, noriods and guidothepimmp. And Nick the drummer.

                      So far that's:
                      1x drummer
                      1x bass
                      1x lead
                      2x rhythm
                      1x vocals

                      Song suggestions so far are:
                      Sweet Child of Mine
                      Alice In Chains - Down in a Hole (Unplugged)
                      ZZ TOP - Just Got Paid
                      Jack White - Sixteen Saltines

                      Any others?

                      Yeti House of the Rising Sun?

                      I'm not sure, but will people be able to learn the last 3 before next weekend?

                          slowpoet Thanks, missed that.
                          I reckon we can, at least enough to give them a shot. Especially if Claudio already knows the lead.
                          Possibly work checking with Nick though.

                            Yeti wow... lol. Just to manage expectations.. im far from a lead guitarist. Merely a rhythm guitarist who tries to throwdown.. and with a great degree of difficulty at that ?
                            For the 3 i suggested.. only the zztop tune has a solo.. i dont know it noot vir noot.. but i figured its a good improv platform.

                            I need to learn both sweet child o mine. Thats right. I never learnt it ?

                                5 days later

                                Show is finally over, kids are with granny and I've spent a very happy morning with my guitar checking out the songs for next week (my amp really loves Sixteen Saltines... looking forward to being able to turn it up!).

                                I see that down in a hole is tuned a semitone down. Would people mind if we just do it in standard tuning with the rest of the songs? I reckon I should still be able to do the vocals.

                                Guys.. apologies.. looks like i need to bail on this sesh.. been an odd few weeks

                                  I know the feeling! We'll muddle through without you. I'll just have to show you my amp next year. ?

                                  Is there any chance we can borrow your cymbals for the day? I don't think that Nick has been able to get his hands on any yet.
