Quoty things not working

Excellent, I was going to limit what I was going to bring. But with these rules in place I'm happy to bring more. I'll probably make some stickers with Yes or Ask on them, or something.

That's a good idea. I don't mind anyone playing my MIM precision whenever - it's a gigging tool and gets abused anyway.

But the 64 P is too valuable for that - and so I like your sticker idea.

"Yes, please have a go"
"Please ask if you want to have a go"
"Please don't touch - it's my second wife and it means more to me than the first one"

I'm doing myself crib sheets for the songs I'm involved in. If anyone else wants any made up let me know.

Alnico · July 2017

I really like the stickers idea as well.
Nice one @slacker ;

aord43 · July 2017

I wouldn't dream of picking up someone's guitar without prior permission. I think it's very generous of people to allow others to "have a go", well done guys!

Or you could just use a nice thick permanent marker pen ... be easier than all those stickers

TTony · July 2017

And now for the really important stuff ...

The t-shirts have arrived

Alnico · July 2017

Well I'm excited !
Who doesn't love a good t shirt ?

Thanks Tony.
I'll pay on the day if that's OK with you?

Hi All,

Wouldnt mind popping in, if placed become available. Not interested in the Jamming side as such - been playing too long, but Im only in Nottingham and it would be great to meet some of you, and catch up with @octatonic who I havent seen in ages.

Would happily bring my P90 loaded Tom Anderson for people to see/touch/play as its not regular fair - and have my AXF/Power Station rig I could bring for the shoot out. Id happy to run through it, and help people design patches to have fun with it if theres a spare corner as well - could do it with headphones at a push.

If not - no biggie, theres always next time. Thats what you get for being away for a few months. If I dont get - have fun everyone.

I'll put you on the reserve list now Paul.

@Danji ......do you want me to do the same for you?

IMPORTANT UPDATE - please read!!

I have been musing over timing for the Jam, and I'm concerned that it will all be a bit tight to fit everything in.

So I have made an executive decision and extended the bookings for both rooms. I'm funding this myself - so nobody has to pay anything more.. same great jam, same money, more hours!!

Here's how it will work:

11.30 - 12.00

Intros, setup time and getting to know people. I will do a small formal intro for everyone so you know who is who etc. Feel free to turn up anytime between 11.30 and 12.00. Organisers will be there from 11.30 when both rooms will be available.

12.00 - 5.00

Normal Jam session - as planned. 20 songs, 5 hours, which is 15 mins per song. As we have extra time it's not a massive problem if we overrun a bit. If you want you can turn up just for this bit, as you might have other plans!

5.00 - 6.00

Contingency time - and an opportunity to do the amp shootout, some of the workshops, and general social and gear chat time. This hour is more relaxed and informal - both rooms still available.

6.00 - 6.30

Packing up time, contingency and general chat/sorting ourself out time. It takes a while to get everyone sorted, so this is an opportunity to make sure we aren't rushed getting packed away etc.

This now means both rooms are booked from 11.30 - 6.30 - 7 hours to fill!

I feel a lot better about timings now, and I hope everyone else does too. Remember, you are free to come and go whenever you like, but the main Jam will be 12-5 still.

Alnico · July 2017

Excellent work man.
Well done.

aord43 · July 2017

Sounds good!

mrkb · July 2017

You are very welcome

octatonic · July 2017

Good idea- I may have to shoot off after the playing though.

Bridgehouse · July 2017

As an aside, during the 17.00 - 18.00 "extra special bonus hour" I was planning on offering a short (15-20 min) workshop myself, called "Bass Guitar for the vaguely interested Guitarist"

The idea being that as you get into recording and putting your own tracks down, you might be interested in getting a bass so you can do your own bass lines. I would run through the basics, techniques, equipment and so forth in a "cheaters guide to getting away with bass" sort of way so you can jump in and pop some simple bass lines down with minimal effort. I'd probably even do it as a Q&A mostly..

If anyone is interested let me know and I'll run it as an informal session in one of the rooms.

mrkb · July 2017

I'd be interested in a bass for guitarist workshop. I've bought one but need to know the bass-ics!!!

spark240 · July 2017

For the record....I'm taking an acoustic and I will have a list of our usual open mic songs if anyone wants to learn a few...( in the corner out the way ! )....

Danji · July 2017

@Alnico sorry for the lack of contact, I've been on dad duties. I'll leave it this time, I'll keep my eyes peeled for the next one. But I'm interested in how it goes. I've always wanted to meet and chat with a load of people on here.

I will bring my acoustic too., I would be interested. The trouble with acoustics, even in corners, is they can be a bit loud. Mine is at least!

No problem,

Like I said, for the next one we'll give you a shout at the start.

I'm sure we'll take away some lesson from this event that will give us a good direction for the next one and help us streamline how it works next time.
As @Bridgehouse said early on, this is all quite new to us and we're making a lot of it up as we go along, although that said I think it's an excellent job and that mostly down to Mark with us helping in whatever way he thinks we can.

Exactly. The Trio actually learns the songs you teach it. Nothing like a real bass player at all

spark240 · July 2017

Is it worth suggesting that people bring their own headphones or earbuds for those who might want to listen to some kit a bit better?...Im taking some studio cans which I dont mind folks using, I will also have some jack adaptors etc. for earbuds.
