Are you trying to fix a core set list so you don’t need to learn any new songs 

Not at all.

Well, not entirely.


It's also about have a few in the set that we know work well and that people can play (or learn) reasonably easily.  A large part of these sessions is to give those who are less experienced/confident an opportunity to get up and play in (friendly) public,  and those songs seem to have helped that happen in previous sessions.

Yeah, I understand, having learnt to drum on 10 songs for the Northampton Jam , I can see the benefit in finessing them rather than start from scratch each time.

The three songs I drummed on in Hudds were better as I’d played them in Northampton.

Will start learning the core songs in case Im needed to bang stuff.

Apparently there’s a version of Fortunate Son with a guitar solo in it it, by Joe Lynn Turner, but I can’t find it on Spotify. 

Have you heard about the version of Alright Now with a bass solo in it?

hmmmm ..... songs.?  @Clarky will insist I do Don’t Believe a Word seeing as he insists I’ll have the solo sorted by then 

but how about one from :  
- Heaven and Hell (sabbath) - 2 bluesy solos in there 
- Ain’t no love in the heart of the city (whitesnake) - same again
- All night long (Rainbow) - single simple solo

so, suggestions only, take your pic if any meet the criteria

One I nearly got into the Northampton one was - Bad Company - Feel Like Makin’ Love - has some great opportunity for solos and has great dynamics.

You always play the guitar upside down ...

Yup, I’m in...

You fancy coming along @Clarky?

We aim to make all beginners very welcome.

Flanging_Fred

Moneys paid. Now to think of a couple of tunes...

Dakota and Sex of fire anyone? 

cruxiform

I'm in for this. Money sent by PPG

poopot

Do I get to suggest a couple of tunes?

TTony

poopot said:

Of course.

Suggest, suggest, suggest.

McToot

Choose any or none of the following as my suggestions:

American Idiot, Green Day
Sweet Emotion, Aerosmith
Tube Snake Boogie, ZZ Top
Mrs Robinson, The Lemonheads
Holy Diver, Dio

I can play none of the above, but then I haven't played a whole song (all the way through) since 1988

Right, sod it, I'm in. @TTony ;; I'll sort out a payment. 

As for songs, I have unfinished business with No surface, All Feeling... But I really think it's about time Teenage Kicks featured at a jam. John Peel wasn't wrong and I think it would very much suit @markblagdon on vocals

I don't think I'd ever heard that before @McToot.  Most interesting!

That would add some variety.

So true.  

Although I hated the reggae that he played back in the day.  Now I'm buying those same CDs.  Should have known he was right at the time ...

I used to sing that in a student band. I know the song on guitar and the widdely fills - I’ll join you on that one!

It's a corker.

I don't believe it, as Victor Meldrew would say.

Water Rats is 10 minutes drive from where I currently live and I've rehearsed there many times. But we've sold our house and, all going to plan, I'll be in Exmouth in June.

I will endeavour to get the relevant papers signed off by the authorities...
and that's also assuming that I'm not in Oz having a beer on the beech with me dad and lil' bro

poopot

We have the main live room and control room upstairs to ourselves including this lounge area.



Downstairs we have the big green room and large purple room.

there is a big Asda not five minutes away but I’ve been assured the owners make a mean pot noodle!...

trying to get Mrs poopot to be char lady for the day... but she can be a grumpy cow so it’s hard work!!!!

Legionreturns

Haha @poopot ...Mrs Returns made a brief appearanceon Saturday to show me some moral support, but I think she got distracted and just wanted to sing stuff. She certainly didn't make me a brew! 

Jalapeno

Ooooh, I'm a possible .....

Bridgehouse

Plenty of spaces left - get signed up for our southern spectacular!!

Bit far for me + I have two gigs that weekend. I'll be with you in spirit though

Be good if you can make it.  Sort that diary out ...
