Northampton Jam Session - Sunday 3rd December - 1 to 5pm

What's Hot
mrkbmrkb Frets: 6636
edited October 2017 in Events

Hi,

Ive been inspired by the Leicester Jam session to get out and play more music with people, so am about to book my local practice rooms for another jam. Its the Stalker Studios in Northampton (http://www.stalkersstudio.co.uk/ NN5 7QP ). They have a 33m2 practice room called the Carter room (named after Carter USM - Fruitbat occasionally practices there) which should be enough for a gathering of 8 or so. So - who is interested?

I remember @aord43 @bridgehouse @darthed1981 and @spark240 were interested, anyone else fancy it?

Im planning to book it from 1-5pm (total cost £35 for four hours) so will be Ok even if theres only four or so people. Im happy to play drums for a few hours, but want to play guitar as well - can bring my Digitech SDRUM to fill in if needed!. There wont be a slick house band - but Im sure we'll cope. It would be worth us putting a list of 10-15 or so songs together so we come prepared with chord charts, and we can run through them a few times if needed if people want to work on rhythm, lead parts, etc.

Does anyone have any good links to websites that list suitable jam songs and their chord structure?

It would be worth listing what you play/sing, what level you are and what you want from the jam, and Im sure we can work something out to suit.

Mark - Play Drums (2 years) and Guitar (on and off for 20 years), happy with rhythm parts, need to develop lead playing, will sing a few songs if needed. Also fancy playing a few on bass if someone can show me the basics.

Over to you!

Karma......

    Assuming that I'm back on my feet and I've found the will to play again by then, sure I'd love to be there.
    I'll say provisionally yes and see how these next couple of months go for me. I've just had my head blown off so I won't promise but I never intended to miss Leicester, believe me, I was a mess over the weekend and couldn't have been there.
    I would like to think that I can sort myself out before then and it's my Dad's anniversary on the 4th so it would mean a lot to me to be able to play and join in like I'd planned to in Leicester.

    I'll say yes and look on the positive side.

  • Yes. I'm happy to do House band bass and can do some vocals with enough prep.

    Provisional yes from me.
    @Alnico provided we're both there, I'll let you have  proper play of the Jackson.

    Yes I know parking is poor, but the other place - audio works largest room was very small. During the day on Saturday should be ok I think.

    I'm up for this, provided paid gigs don't get in the way.

    I'm happy to move between bass, drums and guitar for this one, as needed.

    I'm more worried that you've set the bar so high, that my get together in a practice room will seem a step down :-). The venue is good, but not Quad Studios good!

    A few regular smaller local jams are exactly what's needed. Good confidence building sessions. And I'd like to go to a Jam where I can play bass and not run around like a blue arsed fly. 

    I'd also like to wield the acoustic a bit as well...

    Shouldn't be a problem. I think a few smaller sessions would be good for my confidence.
