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 replied to this.

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

    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?

    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.

      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.

      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.

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

      • RCVN replied to this.

        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..

          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.

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

            I sneaked in another tune xD

            Venue sorted for 10am 19 Feb.

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

              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 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.

                I haven't touched a guitar in a very, very long time, but will keep an eye out for the possibility of dropping by for a hang.

                  Who isn't out of practice. Just come by.

                  If you're really struggling, just come by with the guitar, no strings attached xD
