Ok, play in Open E - Will the PRS cope with that @Brocco?
Good youtube tutorial on how to play it -

We'll all be in the same boat! I haven't played drums with others apart from the last Jam session. If we cock it it we'll carry on, but can always run through it again.
We could blindfold you if that will help - or make you face the wall Kurt Cobain style..

For some songs, we could do them "tuition" style - break them down a bit and work on them to get people comfy with them. Me and @Alnico can guide and we can do sections a few times to get them cracked.
In my opinion this might be best for anyone who is really crapping themselves as it feels less like a performance and more like group work.
We have plenty of time, I found at the Leicester Jam it took a lot less time to run through stuff so there's plenty of time to work on them. If anyone wants us to do that for any of the songs just shout and we can plan to do it then..
Good idea - That certainly makes sense - as I said my aim for the day is to play the drums with real people - so I'm happy to do that in full songs and just tapping along at a slower speed while people run through bits.

Everyone fucks it up live at some point. It's part of the process.

Let us know which ones you want to do like this and we'll work out the break-down for you.
This way after a few goes at certain sections the actual song will play through much easier and be more fun.
Think of it like you would a driver getting to do a few laps of a circuit before he goes and races.
Same kind of thing.
That's right - its why I didn't invite Simon Cowell - its a few old(ish) blokes having a laugh and trying to justify to their wives why they have bought more gear (says the man whos just bought a drum kit)!

However much you screw up I can guarantee I will do worse!
Everyone started sometime. We all make mistakes. It takes guts to get up and play in front of others. No matter what you think, be polite, be encouraging and be kind. After all, it's how we'd all like to be treated when we have a go ourselves.
Just saying.
This guitar malarkey is hard enough without messing around with the tuning and having a whole other set of fingerings to learn!
