Can I have the I learnt call me the breeze in 3 keys cos I couldn't use spotify badge?

peteri · May 2018

In the other thread I thought we had agreed Beat It in E?

slacker · May 2018

I might be confusing people. We usually play it in standard tuning which is E.

Not least because you don't appear to be actually playing on it this time ...

Brocco said:

So Beat It will be played in Eb?

TTony said:

The default key is as on the Spotify playlist, unless everyone playing on it agreed to change it.

Can those playing it decide which key to play in?
@Brocco ;
@peteri ;
@darthed1981 ;
@Guitar_Slinger ;

(I doubt the drummer will be too fussed).

peteri · May 2018

Thanks Tony - early vote for E!

If we decide Eb I think I’ll go through the pain of downtuning a Floyd and avoid the moving the fingers bit!

Alnico · May 2018

While we're talking about sticking to Spotify versions etc, I'll just reiterate that I've only changed the very last section of Comfy to accommodate the 'Fade out' on the studio version.

The rest of the song is as per the studio version on Spotify which is the original from 'The Wall'.

The change is right at the end and it's just a certain riff which acts as a contact point, the same one Gilmour uses live, to signal the end of the song and a chance of getting the brakes on without losing control of the song.

It's very easy so please don't panic if you're doing that song with me.

Brocco · May 2018

I'm playing rhythm on Beat It and don't mind if we play it in Standard Tuning or downtune to Eb (although the latter sounds best imho)

darthed1981 · May 2018

As the person singing Beat It, I'm OK with either but I suspect Eb will come out better, its quite high and my voice will be half gone by then!

I don't mind down tuning, I'm only planning on playing the riff when I'm not singing and maybe the single note E D E D C D E progression in the verses.

I'll join the others for a practise if I can be in the room at the time.

Guitar_Slinger · May 2018

I think we've sorted Beat It out between us, by PM.

For anyone who doesn't want to bring a guitar to make it easier I will be bringing several of my builds with and I will be happy if someone wants to grab one to play

@Rabs If you have a guitar with a humbucker and volume knob, I'd like to play one.

slacker · May 2018

@differs are you ok with changing American woman to the lenny kravitz version? It's in c with the solo section in b. I'll shout the changes.

We've lost our rhythm guitarist and I can't play it and sing it. @pmbomb is more comfortable with the lenny version.

So fellers if you can both do the heavy lifting I'll sing it and play the riffs on the solo.

@ttony fyi apologies etc

slacker · May 2018

OK I've just ran through it I'm OK with this version if the rest if you are

pmbomb · May 2018

ah I was updating the wrong thread:http://thefretboard.co.uk/discussion/comment/1900442#Comment_1900442

anyway here's the vid just for fun. now to find a V and a Thinline Tele, it's either that or practice.

So are the drums to Im doing a similar style rather than an exact cover!

pmbomb · May 2018

I could do 2 and a half minutes of the intro riff!

yep I can easily go slower......... and faster....... in the same bar.....

It'll be fine, I think we played it 4 times at the Northampton Jam, and listening back they all are recognisable as Tush!

Or t-ish...

pmbomb · May 2018

the video wants me to do a 5 fret stretch! ffs! do I look like I have fingers like legs of those Australian spiders that sit on top of the fridge?

no worries she'll be right, just think it's funny.

You should try a 5 fret stretch on bass...!!

Brocco · May 2018

I read somewhere that if you play Tush in open G tuning you avoid that huge stretch...

slacker · May 2018

The main riff is on the D and G strings with a pedal on an open G (on wat is usually an A string). I've got my LP permanently in open G for Tush Honky Tonk Women and learning to fly.

sev112 · May 2018

So what’s the practicals now it’s a week away?

- What time to arrive?
- how many times each song being played through?
- rough timings for the mini Sets?
- how many guitars can we bring, ie how much space

etc

looking forward to it

sev112 · May 2018

PS anyone meeting up the night before anywhere?

- Doors open around 1130 I believe. We'll aim to kick off at 1230.
- See the running order, post 1.
- Start each set on the half hour, ie 1230, 1330, 1430 & 1530, with the grand finale @1630.
- As many as you need, but if everyone brings half a dozen, we'll be tripping over them.

etc.

I believe @darthed1981 might be around? Presumably @poopot too as he's localish ...

mrkb · May 2018

I assume we can setup and jam in the other rooms as soon as we arrive?

Can I also assume I can jump on whatever drum kit is setup in the main room? Is the drummer dude bringing his own gear and is he happy for me to use it for the three songs Im playing (Im a light hitter)?

Whats provided in the other rooms ? Drum kit (minus cymbals) a mic and a PA??

Howdy, Stranger!
