Garage Days - This time it's the 3rd one
guidothepimmp
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.
Norio: Is the venue hooked up?
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 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 ?
guidothepimmp psh, you've seen the rest of us ?
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.
Yep, me too!
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.
Yeti hey bud.. yeh sure thing.
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 ?
NorioDS No way! we expect Down in a Hole and Sweet Child note perfect. ?
I've just been working off these:
