Western Jam 11th February 2023, Firebird Studios, Bristol

Vibetronic

and rhythm on Therapy? (I also know Screamager and Nowhere if you guys don't have to learn too much more to do those!)

@Vibetronic are you OK to do lead guitar on Talk Dirty, which I believe you did at the last jam? That would give us another song with a full line up.

If not I can do lead as well on that track.

I love the Beastie Boys I could have a crack at that. 

Also could play another guitar on the Darkness track - would be good to dust that off from the mists of time

@Jonathangus are you OK for vocals on 'Under The Bridge' again? That would give us another song with a full lineup.

@roberty I assume we can do it without a second guitar, as there isn't one on the original.

stratman3142

@mart are you able to fill any of the bass roles?

Gimme Shelter and Roadhouse Blues are pretty straightforward on bass. If we can fill the bass roles on those two, it would give us two more songs, because I could do lead guitar on Roadhouse blues unless anyone else wants to do it.

Aye, go for it.

I'll tentatively volunteer for Let's Dance (need to try it all the way through).  Can't be any more tuneless than Bowie...

@bertie how confident are you in doing the vocals on 'Just What I Needed'? If not can anyone else do it, as we just need to fill that role.

Yep one guitar is fine

Yep fine but also happy with rhythm if @mrkb  would like to do lead

I can certainly manage the bass on Paradise city, Running down a dream, Gimme shelter, Roadhouse blues, I fought the law, On a plain, and I believe in a thing called love. I'll have a listen to some of the others - most of which I've never heard - and see if I can handle any of them.

Have checked out "On a Plane" and can drum that if needed.

I’m happy to do a couple of easier songs on bass.

I'll make and share a Spotify playlist for this because I haven't heard most of these before. And then once I've heard them it will be easier to pick and choose

Did you make the playlist?

stratman3142

@mart has filled a few bass roles, which is great and added a few more songs with a lineup that will allow us to play them.

Here's another update. Let me know if you spot anything I've missed.

 @roberty you nominated 'Symphony of Destruction'. Are you OK to do vocals as well as rhythm guitar or do we need another singer?  Also, are you OK for guitar as well as vocals on 'On A Plain'

roberty

@stratman3142 yes sign me up for those :-)

and another update.

We just need a bass player to complete a lineup for 'April Skies' and 'Symphony Of Destruction'. Are there any takers?

I'll take bass on April Skies

@mrkb and @bobblehat now that we have a full line-up, can I double check the key of 'April Skies'.  The original has the guitars tuned to Eb standard. Is that the key you want or can you sing it a semitone higher in E?
