The 21st is out for me. Other than that I am good 

prowla

Preferably not the 6th for me.

soma1975

Nothing booked in for Sept yet. 



New songs that were fun to play together and we could work on and that weren't Thin Lizzy.

Communication Breakdown
Helter Skelter
20th Century Boy


Stuff to learn
War Pigs
(ahem) Black Hole Sun

prowla

Ah - the challenge of Black Dog.

Also, it appears that the key/chords for Black Hole Sun are open to question.

I played the riff to Sylvia (Focus) whilst widdling about - I wonder if that would be a good instrumental?

Jonathangus

20th Century Boy morphed into Cigarettes and Alcohol, at one point.

Black Dog is a big challenge. I will revisit the timing issue because I'd get a huge sense of achievement  if I could do it.

Oh and @lovestrat74 ;

Neilybob

Any more dates? 

Can do October if that suits mor people?!

lovestrat74

First half of Oct should be fine

soma1975

Ok so first 2 official song nominations are Black Hole Sun and Communication Breakdown. Let's nail that shit down.

Also I really like the live cover of it by Earthless. 



I am feeling a bit more confident about Black Dog now too but it requires proper practice from everyone so maybe not for the jam.

We should also keep in the songs we did for the last one.

Communication Breakdown needs a singer!

I'll be learning Black Dog regardless.

Black Hole Sun in drop-D?

I think I'll work to this transcription.

(OTOH, I might be bringing 5-string basses for the next one, so I can go down to B if you like!)

soma1975

Yep drop D

The Songsterr version transcription  is good and the app is cheap on mobile as opposed to the desktop one

TeleKinesis

Cool  

Can't do 6th Sept, 4th/5th Oct or 11th/12th Oct. Rest fine
