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 ?

            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.

                guidothepimmp Awesome, thanks. Will you be around for me to pick them up on my way to the garage on Saturday or should we make a plan to get it before then?

                    Anyone got chord sheets for these songs. In E-standard? I'm learning the bass but if I have the chord sheets, I can skip some of the frilly bits and get a bit "tighter" before Saturday. Right now my bass playing on these is a joke ?

                    • Yeti replied to this.

                        Just to confirm. Time on Saturday is 12:00.

                          But which version of "House of the Rising S"? Because not all versions on the interwebs have the same chord progressions (especially between sung parts) I'm going with The Animals chords (as near as I can get, anymore)

                            I've been playing the animals version. From memory...
                            Am C D F
                            Am C E
                            Am C D F
                            Am E Am

                            Yeti You've illustrated my point very well.

                            The animals have another section after this - essentially the intro. So it's something like: Am C D F Am C E7 E7 / Am C D F Am E7 / Am C D F Am E7 Am E7. But many sites give something similar to what you've got (perhaps an E at the end). Listen to the Animals version. For what it's worth, I got those chords from Justin Guitar.

                            And it's E or E7 depending on source.

                            • Yeti replied to this.

                                slowpoet I'm going to list that as a solid plausible. ?
                                I learnt the song ages ago, before I knew what a 7 was and haven't checked the chords recently. Shouldn't be a problem though.

                                    My uncultured opinion: On the Uke, the E7 sounds much better, but on the guitar, the E works very well.
