Fretboard Jam 2017 - Song List Thread - Running Order V4

Might regret this post, but seeing as you don't really play and sing much at the same time on Plug In Baby I'm happy to try my Matt Bellamy singing impression as well.

Does anyone know which will have changed key from the original version - would be good to know when I'm trying to pick out/play along with the spotify playlist version!! Cheers.

I do because I did them.

I'll put an asterisk next to the ones which are changed.
Most of the time, in fact, I *think* all of the ones which are changed are due to us not being arsed to tune down to Eb.
There's not many, I'll go and do that now.

Alnico

Ok, I've marked them and it turns out there are only 3 songs that we've altered.

SO......By all means, tune down to Eb to PRACTICE the songs along with the music and learn them better BUT.......

On the day we will all be using STD E tuning, so you won't change where you play the notes but it will change string tension and pitch, so it will feel and sound a bit different to what you've practised.

Is that ok with everyone?

mrkb

That's great - don't think I can play any of those three anyway! thanks @Alnico ;

No problem.

I'll do whatever I can to help everyone get into this so if you're stuck on any aspect of these songs, just ask and if you are close enough to Bedford and you want to come over and run through any of them, please do.

 @darthed1981 did last weekend and is coming back again for another 'run-through' before the Jam and I know @aord43 said he might do but if anyone else can and feels like they want to, just PM me and arrange something.

No Problem.

There's a fourth song which is in Eb tuning - Foxey Lady

Thanks Jon, I'll correct it.
This Tramadol is hard work some days.
Me and Col were only just talking about that the day before!

I never mind people visiting and talking/playing guitars.

The pleasure is all mine.

@TTony I'm fine with all the bass ones except Testify which is  duplicated with Johnny Bradford. So could you please remove me from that one? Thanks I'll have a look at my bass ones tonight. 

Not sure how Tony has me doing Testify, I stuck my name down against Roadhouse Blues.

slacker

@jonnybradford I'm fine with you doing Roadhouse Blues. Not sure if I want Testify though. 

Bridgehouse

Quick bit of Bass admin - we currently don't have anyone down for bass on Midnight Hour and Mustang Sally...

Please, someone jump in and offer - I'm not going to have to do Bass on Mustang Sally, am I?

Bridgehouse

Also - there's a few folks on the list who haven't chosen anything yet.. 

This is, of course, fine - but if you do want to have a go at something then shout now, otherwise we may have to think about culling a few songs with no interest to allow more repeats of the really popular stuff!!

Shall we cut Testify then?
I don't suggest we replace it with anything- we have enough songs as it stands.

Yes. I think that's a good idea if that's ok with everyone

mrkb

I saw Nuno play both the Extreme songs yesterday- he has way too much talent! And Gary Cherones vocals will be a challenge!
