I think we've sorted Beat It out between us, by PM.

For anyone who doesn't want to bring a guitar to make it easier I will be bringing several of my builds with and I will be happy if someone wants to grab one to play 

@Rabs If you have a guitar with a humbucker and volume knob, I'd like to play one.

Cool...  Guitars I will probably bring

yep I can easily go slower......... and faster....... in the same bar.....

It'll be fine, I think we played it 4 times at the Northampton Jam, and listening back they all are recognisable as Tush!

the video wants me to do a 5 fret stretch! ffs! do I look like I have fingers like legs of those Australian spiders that sit on top of the fridge?

no worries she'll be right, just think it's funny.

You should try a 5 fret stretch on bass...!!

Brocco

I read somewhere that if you play Tush in open G tuning you avoid that huge stretch...

slacker

The main riff is on the D and G strings with a pedal on an open G (on wat is usually an A string). I've got my LP permanently in open G for Tush Honky Tonk Women and learning to fly.

So what’s the practicals now it’s a week away?

- What time to arrive? 
- how many times each song being played through?
- rough timings for the mini Sets?
- how many guitars can we bring, ie how much space 

etc 

looking forward to it

sev112

PS anyone meeting up the night before anywhere?

- Doors open around 1130 I believe.  We'll aim to kick off at 1230.
- See the running order, post 1.
- Start each set on the half hour, ie 1230, 1330, 1430 & 1530, with the grand finale @1630.
- As many as you need, but if everyone brings half a dozen, we'll be tripping over them.

etc.

I believe @darthed1981  might be around?  Presumably @poopot too as he's localish ...

mrkb

I assume we can setup and jam in the other rooms as soon as we arrive?

Can I also assume I can jump on whatever drum kit is setup in the main room? Is the drummer dude bringing his own gear and is he happy for me to use it for the three songs Im playing (Im a light hitter)?

Whats provided in the other rooms ? Drum kit (minus cymbals) a mic and a PA??
