theFB Jam - South (WaterRats) SetList

I quite fancy the idea of bass on Beat it.  Put me down for it for now.   if I practice it and struggle then I'll drop out and let someone else do it.

Was looking at the vocals, but I'm not that I can sing some of them without going down an octave.  Most of the easy ones seem to be taken.

Ok, I'll sing Vocal 1 on 'Comfy', that'll be RW's part "Hello,.......is there anybody in there", mainly because I'm Only playing lead on that track and at those points, I'm not actually playing the guitar.

I've never been able to do Vocal 2, DG's part and that does need an electro-acoustic strummed along to it to sound right.

I can bring my Gretsch which will get close enough for that if someone wants to play it?

I'll have my acoustic with me anyway. I've never looked at it but I'm sure it can't be too hard so I'll nab that bit.

Are we doing Beat It in the original Eb?  Or are we going to do it in E to avoid down tuning?

Good shout since I’ll have a locking trem be good to know!

I can't speak with any authority, but at previous jams we've not tuned to Eb... We've tended to stick to standard tuning

At quad we did it in e. It was a lot easier. I practiced in eb

Who's playing what list updated at post #2 on page 1.

Seems like the consensus is to do Beat It in E.

I need to check for Comfortably numb, I am down for rhythm, when I usually play it I play a mix of what I think is the piano chords and a bit of the strings part, is it easier if I stick to the piano chords?

Yes, I agree it's just fine in E and worked well at Quad.

Brocco

Easy either way regarding playing Beat It in Eb or E.

Come Together has two solo's (not yet claimed), the first of which is harmonised. Although this makes me feel a little uncomfortable, I would like to put my name down for one of the harmonised solo parts.

peteri

works for me in E (as well as any other key, I'm equally crap!)

Yes.
It's subtle through the verses and gets a bit more enthusiastic towards the end over the second solo.

Also we can't fade out as per studio track so I'll use the same contact point that DG does live to signal the ending.
Listen to any live version. DG hits the very top frets in the solo only once and it's right before the end. When you hear that it means finish next time around.....

I've got the BT if you want it and that it set up to finish as per the live track.

I'd like to do some bass as well if I can!

Oh, and what key for Signed Sealed Delivered? I'm happy in the original (F) but does anyone want to change?

Wow, sounds like it's going to be a great selection of songs. Really sad I can't come but reading all of this, it would be way above my abilities anyway. Hope you have a really great time!

I did it with the Rock Project in F (standard tuning with a capo at the first fret).
