Yes thanks to @Brocco for setting things off and organising things on the day, and @roberty for organising the studio.

Still haven't quite recovered from @Vibetronic and @stratman's epic shred-off

Yes, as the least experienced guitarist, I had the task of following @Vibetronic for my only lead part.

I'm sure my guitars don't have as many notes on as those guys find.

you did a great job! Especially the 2nd solo on the last time round of Rocking in the Free World - your soloing was really confident and sounded great

I'm still recovering from @roberty's epic bass sound.

Now I know what it would sound like if you combined JJ Burnel, John Entwistle and Mike Kerr.

Hopefully the structural integrity of the studio is still OK

And my poor old fender guitar combo which I have apologising to ever since

Big thanks to @Brocco @roberty and @stratman3142 for organising another great day. Great to meet everyone and looking forward to the next one.

Forget of find out who camera it was - are they going to be ok to upload to youtube so we can relive the event? I know its an arse to do (I did that and a recording at a previous jam) - so appreciate the effort involved.

That was @onlyonebradders - he's got to go through them and edit them down and possibly find the best version of each. Not sure how he's getting on, or if he's even had a chance to start!

I'll nudge him at least to find the team photo and the vid of the shred-off, though.

Crazed_Fandango · October 2022

As a semi-pro photographer, I can appreciate the time taken to get this done. I'm currently 3 months behind on my photos.

mrkb · October 2022

Did anyone end up with two extra 0.5m XLR to TRS cables afterwards? Ive misplaced mine and last had them when packing my gear last Friday.

Crazed_Fandango · October 2022

Give the studio a call.

I checked the room was empty before we left. Will check through my bag of cables again.

Our self awareness is weird isn’t it. I was thinking how great your voice was as you understood your range and developed a unique style to work with it, where I feel I’m just a shouter. Lots of singers seem to hate their voice, but there’s nothing that can be done about it apart from learn it’s strengths and limitations and work with them. Just forget it’s you and think are they doing a good performance?

Thanks Andy! Didn’t realise that was an entire playlist at first. Much appreciated!

Yes I didn't notice that it was an entire playlist of songs until you mentioned it and I clicked on the text at the top left of the video. Thanks for doing this @onlyonebradders ;

It's the only exercise I get all year, so I have to make the most of it.

Many thanks @onlyonebradders for putting that set of videos together - it is fantasic to have such a great record of the day.

Howdy, Stranger!
