Garage Days 2022

domhatch

Howdy. Is there a dedicated Forum voting platform for this? Or does the Discord channel work as well?

domhatch I'm keeping an eye on the discord as well, but it seems like most(discord peeps) are keen for acoustic anyway.

So discord is fine, I'm just unsure as to how create a discord poll on my mobile. I don't have access to my pc at the moment.

RCVN

Howsit people,

Based on the poll and the discord chat we're definitely lined up for an Acoustic session.

Interaction shows a headcount of about 7ish people and we already have a few song suggestions.

@domhatch

Layla (oasis I presume)

@klaasvakie

Harley Darling (The pretty reckless)

@guidothepimmp

Any Alice in Chains unplugged number.
Some REM
Mr Jones/Omaha (Counting Crows)
Like a Rolling Stone/Knocking on Heavens Door (Bob Dylan)

From my side I'd like to suggest the following:

Black (Pearl Jam)
Slow Show (The National)
Any blues Jam

@Bluetone @Yeti Any additional suggestions?

for the list / Tabs & Chords

RCVN

RCVN I've updated the list with the most popular Ultimate guitar chord sheets. If anyone wants a different version, please shout.

Yeti

Looking good so far, I'll give it some thought and let you know.

domhatch

i'll find the best tab i can for layla - EC's acoustic version from MTV unplugged - and post the link. probably also UG

if i happen across any other good tabs for the suggested songs that i'm really familiar with on UG, i'll send those on as well

Obviously the title isn't much of a fit anymore. Apologies for my absence in getting this going, life has thrown me a few curveballs that had me teetering on the edge.

Sunday 26 February is my new suggestion. I'll get some feedback from the discord group as well.

Are anyone still keen?

domhatch

ack! the missus' bday is on the 23rd, so i'm sure we'll be celebrating that weekend – saturday and sunday if i know anything about my wife.

let me know and i'll vice versa if plans change this side.

RCVN

domhatch Lets shift it around while we can. 19th then?

RCVN

Feedback points towards the 19th as the most suitable thusfar.

@Yeti Are you available then?

Venue wise we've had Klitsgras as a suggestion. I'm also looking at a few halls near Rosebank. Any other suggestions are welcome.

I think id also be nice to have some braai facilities etc.

Yeti

So 26th would probably be better for me than the 19th but I might be able to make the 19th work... I'll need to come back to you.

Yeti

Hey guys, just checking in. Is this going ahead? Do we have details?

RCVN

Yeti Howsit.

Still set for the 19th. I'm struggling to get a decent quote for a venue that can offer braai facilities etc.
The quotes are around 1.4k.

If you have any venue in mind that can assist, then I'll be forever grateful..

Yeti

Cool, do you have an idea of time? I need to finalise a couple of things for that weekend.
Also, do you have a set list? (although I'll probably just be singing this time)

I'm afraid that I don't have any tame venues I can recommend. That has always been one of the big issues.

RCVN

Yeti The Proposed setlist is in the discussion above.

Time wise I was think late morning, maybe 10/11ish? If you have a preference, then we can work around that.

RCVN

I sneaked in another tune xD

RCVN

Venue sorted for 10am 19 Feb.

Please pm me for further details or if you'd like to join.

RCVN

Howsit people,

The numbers started to dwindle so we decided to move the date to the 5th of March.

Let me know if you want to join.

klaasvakie

Wanna sub the Layla tab for the acoustic version?

RCVN

klaasvakie Will do thank you. I was going to ask if someone had other tabs. I've started looking at some tutorials and they're not matching up.

Edit: I've added what looks to be to correct chords for the strummers among us. I'll double check that they match up properly tonight.
