Which of the suggested songs would be the simplest to learn for an absolute numpty? I can get teech to go over them with me tomorrow





Takin' care of Business - Bachman Turner Overdrive - (B)Susie Q - CCR - (E)Satisfaction - Rolling Stones - (E)

If you learn them as best you can i will play them with you on the day and work out a two part guitar sound. They are not that tough and can sound good when you get it right.

Thanks. I've pre warned teech that these are the songs I want to learn and I'll have a YouTube of them as well. Looking forward to it now

This is what teech and I came up with today, pretty basic to get started with and the B is actually a B7. Take a look and see if there's anything right/wrong and which bits to practice for the 2 guitar thing you mentioned.
My kids are already humming the riff but will no doubt be sick of hearing it tomorrow

@Flink_Poyd

Is that for Susie Q ?

D'oh! Satisfaction, sorry

Alnico

It's not the way i play it but that doesn't mean it's not going to work.

Let me get the guitar out tonight and have a look at it.

Might PM you later.

Alnico

@Flink_Poyd

Yes you are right, i'm just not used to seeing it written down. That is how to play it.

Here's a demo by Andy at PGS which might help but from what i can see and now understand that you wrote down, it looks like you've got it sussed.

Funny enough he sent me the link to that to take a look at, Im miles off of doing any fiddly bits as I need to get the basics down first.

What about some more tracks to add to the setlist?

Unless I learn stuff, I'm not going to be getting up to play stuff - not being a regularly gigging musician, I just don't have a load of stuff that is practised regularly enough to play.

There was a long list of possible tracks put together here ...

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/82553449/Song_List.pdf

Suggestion was for each of the turner-uppers to pick a couple of tracks that we'd all try to learn (ish) to form some sort of playlist.

Thus far we've got ...

a set list would be a good idea though

Hows abouts each of the confirmed attendees gets to pick a couple of tracks from the master track list in the other thread and we try to learn/play all of them?

Dr Feelgood - Milk & Alcohol

The Doors - Roadhouse Blues

My two songs are

Buzzcocks - Ever fallen in love
B T O - Takin care of Business

Thanks @TTony ,

Some singers would be a welcome addition.

Whatever singing voice i used to have is fading and to me, sounding shouty rather than the musical howl i used to be able to achieve.

Not something i'm happy about because singing has always been part of what i do on stage but i guess after the life i've had it's not a surprise.

Anyone willing to try singing at the jam is very welcome.

TheOtherDennis

I'd be happy to give Cocaine another go, and I'll even groan my way through some 'vocals' - after all, that's exactly how JJ Cale did it, too (though someone else will have to do the widdly bits). I'll also join in on bass for whatever parts @speshul91 doesn't fancy doing.

I need to get some practice time in though, been neglecting it lately.

Sounds like a great day out. I really must get my act together and earn a pass out for one of these.
Have fun guys

If that's the only thing this achieves it will have been worth it.

Hope to see you when you can make it

TTony

@monofin - if you made it to Leicester, there could be a PRS waiting for you ...

GavRichList

Afraid parental duties mean I struggle to find enough time to rehearse and write for my own band, let alone anything else. A blessing really, if I came with my pedals nobody else would fit in the room.

ennspek

I'd love to come, near Leicester too. Unfortunately A) never played in front of anyone rubbish C) I think I have a clashing commitment. If I come over all brave I'll see if I can sort something out.

Alnico

@ennspek

A) If you can play 4 chords, you're in - it doesn't have to be complicated

I think my playing is Rubish so don't worry about that.

C) If you can come along it would be great to have you there.

xmrchi

I'm Going to see what i can do about popping by,, it's a 120 round trip but j think it will be worth it, I can do percussion and can bring a my korg wave drum. .
