Many thanks, Ian.
That way anyone can ask, and anyone can answer.
A large point of these jam sessions is to get everyone up and playing, even those who don't feel hugely confident to begin with. Seeing what happens, and the support given, will only encourage others (who are or feel themselves to be less confident / experienced / whatever) to attend other jam sessions.
IMHO ...
For a start, these 'Labels' have only been created to match people up in a Very rough scale of ability so don't read too much into them. You will certainly find that within each 'Category' will be the same feelings of self-doubt and/or sonic nirvana.
I'm very flattered to be referred to as a "Pro", even though I haven't done much to support that in the last few years.
Behind the scenes I have a band that's focussed purely on writing songs to record for at least the foreseeable future before we think about playing anything live, so in some ways I suppose I'm doing something worthwhile but it's been (through circumstance) a long time since I've played live at all and in that time I've been through quite a few physical and mental fairground rides with my health so I have no idea what to expect of myself on the day. I might surprise myself or I might Really feel the effect of so much time away from the proverbial 'Stage', so to speak.
I interpret the term Pro (Ability) to mean that if needed, with enough dedicated time (Fully dedicated, all-day-every-day-dedicated) I could step up to a Pro level Gig of some description and hold enough of my own to make a good job of it. I'm not world class but when life gives me the chance to focus on it, I'm not too shabby either and I learn quickly,.......so in that way, I like to think I could be "Pro" with nothing more than some dedicated time to practice properly.
So, you 'Beginners'......does that help knowing that at least one of your "Pro's" is going into this thinking........"This is going to be interesting!"
Because I Promise you all,.....that's exactly what it'll be like for me.

Not on the playlist, nor anywhere else on Spotify that I could see??
Its an "ask @Alnico special" - winks and taps the side of my nose.....

Draw the curtains first...
If you already know Fortunate Son in standard, then play it in that - there's no point making it more difficult if you already know it.
Not sure about "Stay with Me" - my drums should be able to play it in any key... @bridgehouse @Alnico - what do you advise?

But then the bass will be in standard tuning
It'll sound wrong in Std.
EDIT: That's for rhythm guitar.
Lead guitar stays in Std tuning.
Personally i'm crapping myself thinking of standing up and playing in front of people i don't really know!!
I go to pieces even when i play at home and sense someone is listening!!
Hoping this will will get me to get over it.
bizarrely i have no problem singing in front of people....go figure
