Western Jam, Saturday 2nd October, 2021 -- Factory Studios, Bristol

Probably about 10.00 for. Me…

Traffic permitting, I should be there between 9:30 and 10:30.

Just a reminder that I've done chord charts for all the songs in the list, so PM me giving your email if you're interested. I needed to do them because I'm an old git with a bad memory, plus I'm trying to improve my skills in using Musescore. And I'm retired with too much time on my hands.

I'll bring some spares to the jam as well.

They may help, or just add to the confusion.

10:30 works for me, but I wouldn't want to make it any earlier. 

It might be more of a challenge for @Funkfingers as he has further to come, but since he's not playing on the first few songs, it shouldn't be a problem if he arrived later. And anyway, maybe he's up for leaving at the crack of dawn.

I could NOT get to grips with that; caved in and got Guitar Pro!!

Hope you all have a splendid day tomorrow; looking forward to seeing/hearing any recordings

Pity you won't be there. I'd still like to get a guitar lesson(s) from you at some time.

I use Guitar Pro 7 to transcribe solos. But it can't do charts combining chord slash notation, rhythmic slash and the notes on the stave all together, which is why I use Musescore for general purpose charts.

The Pro Reverb is working. There's a bit of idle noise but it sounds good. I've put a little board together with some dirt and delay. See you all tomorrow

Can I check if we def need to bring a Bass amp ?

Brocco

@spark240 we definitely need an amp head and cab for the live room (both @mart and you have kindly offered). If we also want a bass head and cab for the practice room we would need you both to bring your bass amps and cabs, but if we only want a bass amp for the live room, then there would be no need for you both to bring bass amps. 

spark240

Ill bring the bass combo...its by the door now anyhow ;-)

mart

I'll bring my amp too - it's not much extra to carry and it means we've got a back-up, or a second amp if we want to use a second room too. 

Or we could just line out one into the other and have a monster bass sound.

We've only got phone recordings, but they look to have come out OK.  Need editing down a bit, though.

Thank you to everyone who showed today, we had a very chilled and collaborative crowd. Special mentions must go to @onlyonebradders for his superb effort on drums, and to @stratman3142, stratless on the day, but that did not stop him delivering some blistering solos. Here's to the next one!
