I’m pretty good with those, some are a big rougher than others, but will be good enough on the day to not put anyone off

Do we need another roll call to confirm who's coming, so we know the number of participants?

I'll be there

Here's a song list with the coloured fill removed. That's to save on my printer ink, when I create copies to bring to the jam.

The grey fill shows where there are empty roles now.

Watch out for the following song keys, which I believe are at the request of @bobblehat who's doing vocals on them.

Talk Dirty To Me: the guitars are tuned down a semitone on the original, so you'll need to tune down if you want to play it as if it's in G

Fortunate Son: It's in A, which is a tone higher than the original

Lil Devil: It's down a semitone  That makes it in the key of C#. So you'll need to tune down if you want to play it as if it's in D

I'll be bringing a guitar tuned down a semitone, if anyone want to borrow it.

Great stuff guys - I'll also need to do some learning I'm quite excited and very nervous too! I don't often play out with anyone in the real world!

Is the group chat sorted for payment as yet @roberty ;- I'm not sure if I'm looking in the wrong place!

I think that's all the names listed in the song list roles, apart from me

Jonathangus

I shall be there!  Andy may also pop along in a non-drumming, taking pics and filming, and generally being sociable role, too.

Lol I'm sure I wrote you down. I will send a group message out in a bit

stratman3142

Any takers for roles on the following, otherwise I'll knock them off the list on Monday morning (2nd October)?

29: That's Entertainment
30 : Maybe Tomorrow

I can pretty much play and sing that's entertainment. Might as well throw it on the pile

Agreed, I’ll take any rest time I can get
Does anyone know "More than Words"

Would be good to see him. And if he fancies doing a song on the day I’m happy to pass over the drum stool.

I assume @mart is OK with bass on that one, as he suggested it. If so, that means we've got enough roles to play it as a non-drumming song.

30 : Maybe Tomorrow

The Maybe Tomorrow chord sequence is  Eb, Cm, Gm and F (repeats over and over). The track could be done singer songwriter style if  if someone is up for that, or if we have a volunteer for vox I can provide guitar (but in a way would prefer not to as I am already down for quite a few tracks).

Nobody's down for 2nd guitar on La Grange, so I'm happy to do it while @roberty is soloing, unless anyone else wants to do it.

You might need to give me the nod when the solo ends, I keep losing count as it’s so long!

Happy to wing it here lol

An extra guitar player will make my singing life a bit easier @stratman3142 ;

Do we need a bass amp?

I can play That's Entertainment, either on bass or guitar - two guitars might work best?

roberty said:

I'll be bringing my tiny bass amp along, so it depends if everyone is happy to use that or if anyone wants a bigger/different sound.

I'll merge the cells for bass, guitar and 2nd guitar together for 'That's Entertainment', then you can choose what you want to do on the day.
