Well you dont need lessons from me. 

My original reply was self deprecating.. those who know me will confirm that I don't do bigging myself up in any way shape or form..

You're a bassist now, loud and proud and slide out of mistakes. 

Nearly all my playing is slide....

Slide into obscurity? 

Would sum up my music career to date

I'm doing song sheets to help me learn the songs I'm going to be playing on. Be mean not to share them so here's todays offering. Fortunate Son..

Typo in the instrumental break - you've marked the D & A strings where you mean the G & D strings:

G7no3rd: x x 12 10 x x
Gdim7no3rd: x x 11 9 x x 
Gsus: x x 7 5 x x
G: x x 9 7 x x

Listening to it I thought it was played on the B & G strings thus:

G7no3rd: xxx76x
Gdim7no3rd: xxx65x
Gsus: xxx21x
G: xxx00x

Also, I had the intro in 6ths (where your version has 3rds):

G: xxx(/)4x3
F: xxx(/)2x1
C: xx(/)5x5x
G: xx(3/)5x3x
Did you mean to put the lower notes in the first two bars of your version of the intro on the D string not the G string? Then your version would be more similar to what I heard, just starting on strings 2 & 4 rather than my version's strings 1 & 3

hywelg

Yes you're right about  the guitar break being on the wrong strings. Corrected that but i do think the  final G is xxx43x.

And yes the Intro is 6ths. Corrected that too.

Thanks

@Alnico ;

Sorry for being absent, I'll take rhythm duties if theyre still open on Alright Now and Sunshine Of Your Love. If not I'll step into whatever's vacant.

Don't worry man that's cool.

I thought your absence on whatsapp was out of character but I know you've had a 'journey' with personal issues so gave you some space until I heard from you.

I'm looking forward to trying to find a way of hiding £20 somewhere in Nikko's car on the way up !

I'm sure those songs will be fine.
Thanks for letting us know. 
@TTony is very kindly updating the spreadsheet so we can plan the running order from it and have printouts on the day to refer to.

Glad to see you back man.

@TTony - nice spreadsheet!  I am down for rhythm on S.O.Y.L but I would like to have a go at the solo if possible.  Hopefully we can figure out something, sharing parts or something.
Cheers,

Alnico

If you're still coming to my place tomorrow I can have you playing the solo by the end of the day.
Then you've got 4 weeks to polish it up. 

I'm sure you'll nail it once I show you how.
No problem. 

TTony

We're still a bit short on the vocalling.

Any offers?

I'll step in to bass duties for Midnight Hour and Mustang Sally (both seem pretty straightforward), just to fill a couple of the gaps.  I'm not going to try Cupids Dead though, so any volunteers for that?



Still a few attendees who've not signed up for anything yet.

It's 100% fine if you're not planning on playing on the day - but please let us know so we can get the organisation done (ie how many repetitions of each song, who's playing what on which repetition, etc).

@Alinico I'll catch up with you on Whatsapp later but it's all good though. We should make it a £50 though

No problem man.
Remember we've got both journeys to do that.

Roland

@TTony I think I'll be more useful tuning and setting up guitars. I get to play at least once a week, and thought I'd leave this for people who don't have that opportunity.

Roland,
I had a similar sentiment which is why I'm kind of floating. 
I won't do that all day, it'd be nice to be needed in other ways but I'd be happy to help you with that if I can. 
Looking forward to seeing you too.
It's been 18 months since my last guitar show.

That goes for all of you.
It's been a long hard slog getting through all this medical crap and I've missed seeing a lot of you.

Right.
Let's get this back on topic as it's the song thread and much more of this kind of chat and @Bridgehouse will be along to clip me round the ear again.

Nikko

I'm all for a good horror story

Ha, well we'll see!  I have got about 3/4 through it myself but I won't say it's great.

You're on!

@TTony I was planning on just lurking in the workshops. Unless there is something that is missing a guitarist because it's sooooo easy to play nobody else can be bothered!

TTony

Here's the latest runners & riders ...


Still a few people to say what they fancy playing - or if they're not planning on playing.  Not playing anything is fine, just let us know for planning the day, *please* !!
@chrismusic
@handsome_chris
@pablo
@spark240

@stevie_the_spy - realise that you're a recent addition to the attendee list - do you want to put your name down for any of the songs?


Plus, we need a bassist for Cupid's Dead, otherwise that one's going to be tricky to play


And finally, VOCALISTS ... there are quite a few gaps on the vocals, so volunteering vocalists very much wanted.

I'm quite happy to drop out of Midnight Hour and Mustang Sally. 
Bass wise I'm happy to drop out of Plug in Baby and Shake a Tail Feather. 

So if anyone wants those. Please be my guest and let @TTony ; know.
