Good morning all, There was a bit of discussion on the WhatsApp about having another Pretoria jam session on 8th December and Norio recommended we move it to...

Garage Days - This time it's the 3rd one

NorioDS

slowpoet Norio: Is the venue hooked up?

Yep Greg says it's all good.

slowpoet

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

Yeti

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?

slowpoet

Yeti House of the Rising Sun?

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

Yeti

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.

guidothepimmp

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 ?

Yeti

guidothepimmp psh, you've seen the rest of us ?

Yeti

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.

slowpoet

Yeti Using standard tuning makes sense to me

NorioDS

Yep, me too!

guidothepimmp

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

Yeti

guidothepimmp
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

Yeti hey bud.. yeh sure thing.

Yeti

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?

NorioDS

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

NorioDS No way! we expect Down in a Hole and Sweet Child note perfect. ?

I've just been working off these:

NorioDS

Yeti Thanks!

Yeti

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

slowpoet

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)

Yeti

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

slowpoet

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.
