    Not sure what song(s) I'd want to do yet, I will re-suggest (rejected from Leicester) the Scissor Sisters "Take Your Mama".  It has easy chords and soloing over it is just minor pentatonic (perhaps with a bit of major in there).


    Im open to trying it, but I definitely cant sing that high and it might need some funky guitar to do the keyboard bits. Do you have the song\chord structure documented? 

    Yes I can provide the chords.  I didn't think about the singing I must admit.  Someone else's problem :)

    Plus I wouldn't worry about the keyboard bits too much.  It's a Jam :)

  • I'm wondering about some Green day songs, relatively straightforward chords but with some variety, and not so widdely solo's. Could be some acoustic songs in there too.

  • Clearly I'm not going, but another almost accoustic classic that's easy to solo / widdle over is My My Hey Hey. Simple chord progression and Am/C solos. When I jam that one I do it as call and response between the singer and lead guitar. Sounds awesome!

    Just because you're paranoid, don't mean they're not after you

    Ah,
    Ok, good point. I *can* sing it but I'm near my limits doing it.
    Up another half step will be risky.
    Thanks @impmann I hadn't thought of that.

    Ok, Scratch that idea then. It really needs the open chords etc.

    Nah... play it in Eb on a regular tuned guitar... easy. Sounds better too! :-)

  • I think we may in the ballpark with Green Day and that ilk (cough Oasis cough), I wouldn't mind the live experience with some chords, rhythm and actually standing a bit further back... shy retiring wallflower that I am.

    We can change tuning if needed- it's not going to be as slick as the Leicester one, so if everyone needs to tune down it won't be a problem. I'm busy tonight but will summarise where we are tomorrow. Have put adampeter in the backup list.
    Karma......
