I played it twice.

How did the recording of the Thorpy demo turn out?    Worth putting up on the forum for all to see?

Theyre Ok - I have two MTS format vids - one of the amp overview, one of the pedals - but they're 1Gb in total - Im not sure how to share them (and theres a bit of @thorpyfx butt crack showing).

lets not do that then please

I think the best option there would be a little judicious editing

Note to self - make sure to bring guitar strap or bring a spare seat !

  Next time I will learn a few more songs, though I did get to do 3 or 4 so happy with that.

  I quite like playing Acoustic, so any more songs in that genre would be cool, I actually thought Travis sounded pretty good ;-)

Acoustic will help to break the setlists up as well. Gives a bit of relief from the electric onslaught

Agreed, Tricky to incorporate into a band though - the song we missed out Jolene by Ray Lamontagne would have worked well with that. But if you want solo acoustic songs go watch a busker ;-)

It did work well on Travis though.

 Im sure @darthed1981 will be singing into his hairbrush in front of the mirror before the next one ;-) 

Either that, or learn the first rule of the British Army: "Never volunteer for anything..."

I don't remember any Wurzels songs!

@spark240 - loved the MM, thanks for letting me try it out.

@mrkb - one observation from the jams in Leicester and Northampton is that the number of players impacts what can realistically be structured for "room 2". I quite like the idea of a self-help structured programme for room 2 aimed at beginners/improvers, perhaps freeing the more accomplished players to play more challenging songs in the live room. We could all come together to jam towards the end playing a limited number of tunes several times so everyone gets to play and hopefully learn a new song or skill.

This is really a comment for @Legionreturns ; and @Bridgehouse to be aware of in planning the Huddersfield session ...

I support this, in fact, the impromptu three rooms in Leicester allowed, something like that, i.e. one for true practice / self help as well as a room for trying out kit people practicing bits of the set songs etc plus the song list performance room. It would increase costs, but if it proves beneficial that may not be a deal breaker.

I think maybe the 2nd room should have some sort of agenda, even if it loose, maybe a noise level limit, or noise time slot, I still found that it was difficult to talk even if someone was just noodling at low volume.

Also possibly a couple of planned time slots with basic backing tracks ( I use a Jamstation) to noodle over in turns.
