Sounds Fun,

I would like to join but the pickup on my acoustic is busted and I'm still in the market for a bass amp.. aand my uke aint amplified xD.

If I get it all sorted I might just come and give a visit.

Was looking up tabs just for the hell of it, and found this gem.

Take a look at the comments xD.

Hey bud... if you dint get sorted... drop a note here of what kit you need and we will bring it along. Ie.. join anyways ?

RCVN Ah man that's hysterical.
I'm hoping to get chords and tabs up tomorrow or the next day...

And yeah, come and join us. More the merrier.

I'll bring beer

Morning all,
I've got the lyric/chord sheets together. I've tried to make sure they're 'accurate' but haven't had masses of time so there many be a couple of problems. Please let me know if you find any.

I've deliberately kept these as chord sheets for the singers/strummers and haven't included tabs. Broadly speaking I find that www.songsterr.com does a pretty good job for anyone who wants to play it properly. It has midi playback too, which is nice.
I've also included @guidothepimmp's demo video for Running Wild. If anyone has other videos or learning tools for these songs, please drop them in the thread.

There are a few songs that use Eb standard tuning, I'm going to suggest that we just stick to E standard. There are also a few that use a capo. Again, I'm going to suggest that we play without the capo (the chords I've included are relative to the capo position). The only exception is Slow Cheetah, which is played with a capo on the 6th fret and for that I reckon we should keep the capo... so bring one along if you have one.

Just recording conversation from the chat. Looks like @Lu22 will be singing:
Holiday
Ain't no Rest for the Wicked
Crazy Little Thing Called Love (possibly)
Slow Cheetah
Just Got Today

On a related note, any chance that one of you can learn the lead part for Crazy Little Thing Called Love? I'm happy with the acoustic and either @NorioDS or @guidothepimmp will be on bass duty.

I have a capo I can bring for someone to use too

Yeti On a related note, any chance that one of you can learn the lead part for Crazy Little Thing Called Love?

I'll give it a shot. Is someone doing the solo for Hells Bells? I have the rhythm part down, but not the solo yet.

Hey guys, just a heads up. It looks like we have lost our drummer for Saturday and I have lost my voice. :/
I'm hoping that I get it back before then but I'll be there either way... just may need a little more help with the singing.

I have confirmed the garage with Greg thought... so not all bad news.

Yeti Well I'll check the other songs and see what I can handle vocally, even if I have to sing in a lower key

@Yeti you've been a life saver in organising this all. Thank you!

Hope your voice heals quickly!

Lu22 I suspect that most of them (especially the more metal songs) will work a straight octave down since the originals are really high.

@NorioDS no worries, happy to help.

Yeti Okay sweet I'll check them all out

Yeti Eish about your voice and about the drummer. Do you think it's worth looking for drum backing tracks? I can bring my practice amp which can also act as a bluetooth speaker, but last time it wasn't quite loud enough.

klaasvakie I'm going to be checking out drum tracks on my iPad this evening. Reckon we should be able to plug straight into the PA, just need an aux cable (should have one somewhere).

Yeti Yes, the PA should have enough grunt. Looking forward to it, I've had a great time so far learning the songs.

So this thing starts at 12.

How long will the session be? I might be able to get a drummer for you guys, depending on time restraints.
