theFretBoard Jam - goes South - 2nd Jun 2018 RESERVE LIST OPEN

darthed1981 · February 2018

Oh heck - I'm in if there are still places?

Paypal on it's way

Can I suggest we add Sunshine of your Love to the list, where I could do guitar and vocals unless someone really good wants to do vocals!

I'd also like to do some guitar and maybe vocals on Champagne Supernova....?

If I could be cheeky and help @legionreturns on No Surface All Feeling, which is one of my favourite songs of all time, and Why Does It always Rain On Me worked really well in Northampton because it's pretty easy to play. Just ideas though

As always I'm happy to help on vocals if we fall short anywhere. Though if anyone else wants to do so, that would no doubt be everyone else's preferred option

Apparently our special guest played on XTRMNTR amongst other albums so playing with him would be an opportunity far too good to pass up

@TTony ;; I second Shook Me (did put it in my suggestions I think). I take it you got my PPG and I'm on the list, thanks.

on reflection you probably couldn't tie the PPG to a username - I PM you.

It's OK - I tied the two together already. If you check the first couple of posts on the thread you'll see that your name is on the attending list, and your song suggestions are in the song suggestions post

thx Tony. Pls delete message I sent u, I thought they were private.

darthed1981 · February 2018

@TTony did I make the list?

@pmbomb - if you "message" someone, then that's private - it's the "PM" that you'll often see mentioned here. If you add a comment to someone's profile wall, those comments are public and visible to all. Generally, PMs are used rather than wall comments.

You're in Ed @darthed1981 ;

Flanging_Fred · February 2018

If Darrin is going to be looking at my bottom I'm going to have to get myself down to "bums 'n tums" . Want to make a good pressing and all that!

Guitar_Slinger · February 2018

I'm in. Song suggestions from me are Basket Case (Green Day) and Won't Back Down (Tom Petty).

I'm in, never been to one - and likely will be a bit shy on confidence for the jam, but will bring whatever guitars I have for a gear chat and if anyone wants to try something vintage or made by Feline (which is basically all I have now!)

Lets hope you have a brand spanking new Axe-Fx III to bring along as well !! Will be good to check that out.

McToot · February 2018

peteri said:

Thanks - that helps, and now I've breathed deeply, I think there are about 8 songs on the list I can get near, so there's hope!

That's about 7 more than me.

The thing is, I've spent the last 20 years aimlessly noodling, stumbling on riffs, making shit up, etc. I haven't once in that time ever had to or tried to learn a song all the way through, though I am pretty decent at doing 20 second vignettes of many of them.

I don't event know where to start*

I know Pretty Vacant and am confident on Fortunate Son, You shook me all Night Long, etc.

*Not strictly true. I know that a bit of effort will help.

I'm exactly the same! Morale boosted, thanks!

Remember, these events are as much about meeting up and having a good time with like-minded musicians. Showing off your chops is only part of it. Whether you've been playing for 2 weeks or 40 years you'll be supported and encouraged.

Everyone I've met via theFB has been lovely.

Even @McToot! ;

+1 Won't Back Down.

@peteri 4 power chords pretty much cover it, and the solo, which is beautiful, is a doddle. (bit of a Mike Campbell fan, me).

I am lovely - it's completely true.

I'm also really good at meeting up and having a good time. I'm just lazier than a sloth that has a trust fund and 5 personal servants.

@Flanging_Fred - not sure how much gear you were thinking of bringing but happy to look at the possibility of coming via Horsham on my way?

Was thinking of just bringing gig stuff, 2 guitars, gig bag, pedal board and an amp if needed. A shared trip would be cool and I can chip in some petrol ££

I suspect there might be enough room in the McToot charabanc.

Ooh aye - we have a new and much extended wagon now - a seven seater. I'll ping you closer to the time.

Groovy.

pmbomb · February 2018

You'll be passing through Dorking then?

Legionreturns · February 2018

Anyone fancy popping via Huddersfield to get me?

McToot · February 2018

Sort of - through A24 to Jct 8 and then round. Not sure on capacity with gear and stuff. The boot in 5 seat config is OK but not enormous. I was expecting to put the back seats down. We can see closer to the time.

pmbomb · February 2018

sure.

Winny_Pooh · February 2018

Paypal sent. Will bring my vintage Marshall & a 2 x 12 if anyone is keen to hear it.

TTony · February 2018

Splendid @Winny_Pooh ; - and payment received.

Alnico · February 2018

@TTony
Understood, ..I had kind of forgotten how it all works with my recent events, so I'll keep my second choice suggestion and as an alternative for no.1,....can I Suggest 'Down at the Doctors' by Dr Feelgood please? (Seemed Appropriate!)

@McToot I can fix your 20-second vignette 'Thing' and get you playing full songs in one afternoon.
@peteri same goes for you and anyone else who's not feeling up to this or whatever it is you say, it's the approach that's the key.
My place is open to anyone that can be arsed travelling to Bedford with a guitar in your hand. There are amps here, bring your effects if you need to and be prepared to pay £2.50 for the car park and spend around 3 -4 hours asking anything you want and learning how to survive a jam session. I've got access to a ton of backing tracks so real-time practice is possible as well as "Breaking it down".
We can focus on the songs you're doing or whatever you want to gain strength in, it's your call.
I'm free most days so just sort something out and get down here if you feel like you want to. I can show you how to 'Learn' songs with a structure to it and eventually, like me, you'll hear a song on the radio that you've never heard before and know 75% of how to play it before you even pick a guitar up, including what key it's in by just listening.

There's way too much to type here.
If you want help with this, just ask.

@darthed1981 is coming here this weekend for exactly this reason. He's been before and maybe has something to say about it, so has @Vinylfan and @aord43 .

@Bridgehouse and MANY OTHERS work hard enough on these events so if I can help with tuition I'd be more than glad to.

TTony · February 2018

@Alnico - great 2nd choice!

RobDavies · February 2018

I really need to start playing a guitar again....

ftumch · February 2018

Im in berkshire so not far, i am however socially inept. Ill try and talk myself into it, would be nice to put some faces to names.

...and me...

I've paid PPG Tony - hopefully you got it.

Looking forward to not having to play drums all day this time :-) so can show off my awful axe wielding skills instead.

Can I suggest

Motown junk - manic Street Preachers
Jailbreak - thin Lizzy

And Directions to a good pie shop can't survive without northern food (should I bring my own gravy just in case?)
