I found this on youtube by not looking for it. Very interesting.

slowpoet Ok, I'm out. Just broke my arm. I can still coordinate, but won't be able to attend

Eina. Hope you recover to shred level soon.

Put me on the list. Will see if I can make it. May have some travel plans to finalise on that weekend. I will as per the previous time, not practice before the time - underwent emergency surgery a few days ago and can barely stand/sit, let alone hold a guitar.

wern101 Ja ok the kid can play. Am I going to sound like a grouch if I say it sounded off key? ?

It sounds like the tuning is a bit flat.

When do you guys wanna do this? I'll be out of town a few times during September, so I will see if I can make it.

Happy with the selection.

DO IT. But let's get the songs quickly, so I can double my practice time to 4 hours this time. ;-)

Jislaaik ouens. That was fun.

slowpoet But it's part of my master plan :-) Choosing songs that you could learn in 20 minutes and so still be able to play along.

I tried yesterday and this morning. Can't even learn one in 20 minutes. I will bring my smallest amp so that it will be drowned out by the others. ;-)

NorioDS So if anyone has a few minutes to spare a week to phone a charity (or 2), that would be EPIC! Thanks in advance ?

I can try calling them after 4 in the afternoon. I'm traveling for business again this week, so it may not be possible to do it this week.

Yep. Nine out of ten times a server stops responding, the disk is full. :-P

V8 The first downside to the multifx is that the presets almost always suck - unless you have experienced the originals the sims/models are based on - it's challenging to find recognizable tones. How many of us know what a Marshall JTM800 or Fender Blackface sound like cranked to the full spinal tap?

Exactly. But what if you had a Marshall CODE? It only has 24 effects and 5 simultaneous ones though. You can switch them on or off with the footswitch or change preset banks and presets with the footswitch. I may be biased because I just bought one, but the amp/power-section/cab sims on the presets I tried sounded awesome.

V8 The second is you'll want to 'Get Another Amp' - something that has a full range speaker. Guitar amps/speakers colour the sound a lot, which you'll likely want to be doing in the multifx (if using the amp/speaker sims). In a pinch a bass amp will work, acoustic amp better and a pa might be best.

I agree fully on this. Playing songs from your phone through the aux in sounds really bad on electric guitar voiced speakers.

V8 All the while referring back to the basic/bypass'ed sound, trying to keep the basic patch and subsequent patches vol's similar so I don't get a big bump in volume when switching between patches.

That's the tricky bit right there - Balancing the volume differences while keeping the tone of that patch.

NorioDS I haven't had a chance to practise anything s

Same here. I will be hitting my name with a plank. Will try not to break the rhythm, but you okes can tell me go outside and rather drink beer than play - that's okay too.

Many of the bands listed feel so "main-stream" already.

I have some stupid questions, as I never play from chord "sheets". What is the meaning of the pipe "|"?
If it says capo 2 and you have to play a G chord, the it is an open G chord or the G barre at fret 5 with the capo on 2, right?
This means I can play an A chord if I do not have a suitable capo, right...
On What's Up as an example the chord are: G Am C G. So if I do not use a capo, it is A Bm D A, correct?

On hallelujah, the chord are in the key of C, so if done on capo 4, it will be in the key of E and the key of G on capo 7. I just want to "transpose" these, My capo is a bit kak and bends the strings sharp and my tuner can only do standard E tuning, so re-tuning after putting the capo on is not possible.

I have a CAPO that I can use for What's Up. Only problem is, it bends the strings sharp on my electtic - I think it's meant for an acoustic.

I haven't tried this yet, but considering it:
Songsterr - You can filter on your level of playing and hopefully gives you a realistic results.

NorioDS Bahahaha, love the "What Is ___" lessons ?
Yep. Liked them too.

I enjoyed this. Some of the contestants had way too much delay in their effects chain IMO. The Bri guy was able to play fast, but it just didn't sound like anything - episode 1.

The guys playing in the final were great.

warrenpridgeon I was looking at this and the TX10. Does it sound to your ears as you expected it would?

And I haven't had a chance to practice any of the songs. Work is craycray again. I should maybe just try and learn one for the day. Not that I have enough sound to compete with a drummer, so maybe the no drummer is not all that bad. Though a drummer to keep time would be great.
