  • Garage Days in Pretoria - Set List

Morning all,

Thought I’d put together a thread where we can keep track of the songs that we’ve played at the garage days sessions and the suggestions we’ve had for future sessions.
The first two replies will be lists, which I’ll keep updated, but after those we can have a general discussion. If you have any suggestions or requests for songs to do in the future, please post them here and we’ll select from them when planning future events.

Please feel free to post suggestions even if you can’t make it to the events. It would be great to have some variety.

    Suggestions
    (I’ll sort this a little more meaningfully once there are a few more)

    Electric
    Whiskey in the Jar - Metallica or Thin Lizzy
    Hells Bells - ACDC
    Eyes of the Panther - Steel Panther
    Tush - ZZ Top
    Just Got Paid - ZZ Top

    Acoustic
    Mad World - Gary Jules
    Behind Blue Eyes - Limp Bizkit

      Good call.. if there are other tunes lets stick em here so we have time to learn prior to the next one..

      My kids guitar is coming on holiday with us for some coastal practise

      A song that has a nice mix of acoustic and electric is Slow Cheetah by RHCP. The solo is not that difficult either. Only thing that will be hard to recreate is the weird reverse-delay outro.

      Yeti The first two replies will be lists, which I’ll keep updated

      The current version of Flarum (the forum software we're using) has some limited configurability around permissions for editing your own posts. Might be fixed in a future version but, for now, you'll find you won't be able to update your own posts after someone's replied.

          NorioDS Hmm, will have to keep a running list every few posts then. Thanks.
