Yes indeed - thanks guys, always a pleasure to crank it up !

I have a really nice vid of Come Together; just need to find a way of getting it from my phone onto here…

Just upload to dropbox or google drive and post the link...

If you can upload it to any file sharing site (including the above mentioned) and PM me a download link, I could upload it to Youtube.

Hopefully this will work - let me know if not and we can try sharing the dropbox links another way...

I've downloaded the video, but I think the two links might be to the same file. They both have the same filename.

I can access one - Come Together - both links take me to the same song - is that correct?

Didnt get to fully appreciate @Norm vocals from the drum kit - sounds amazing on this - well done!

SPECTRUM001

Indeed - as I mentioned on Saturday; @Norm must be Paul Rodgers in disguise !

My second vid was also All Right Now, so no problem it didn’t upload.

As last year, the room sound was really good - both punchy and atmospheric. Comfortably Numb was a real highlight. 

Oddly, I really struggled locking into the beat on Hanging Around and The Passenger (tracks I’ve played for years) whereas a song like Fortunate Son (which I only learned last week) was a lot easier.

Reckon I am going to challenge myself far more next time - perhaps going outside one’s comfort zone is a better strategy…

Thanks again to all !

That will come with practice - lets get it on the set
list again next time. Also worth using Moises (there’s a free version) to split the song into instrument tracks and remove guitar and/or keyboard parts - so you get used to being the guitar part and also work out what audio clues you are using to play along to.

Vibetronic

Sorry, took me a week to get round to this! Couple of clips from the Pink Floyd solos courtesy of @stratman3142 and @roberty  - well played chaps

In that first solo, I was hunting to find the correct notes a couple of times   I should have practiced that one more.
