Cool.
We'll do that too.

Alnico · July 2018

...which begs the question...

Can we keep playing on into the evening on Saturday?

No, cos we will all be at the fretboard gig and barbecue down the pub

We're going.
I had to wait until now to know 100% but I've worked it out and we'll be there.

Can I have the lead on comfy?
I'll do RW's vocals too.

We're planning on staying with @Legionreturns which he's only just finding out about when he gets that notification... lol... and we'll be there for the whole weekend.
I can growl with the worst of them on vocals and I'll give it my best shot.

I'll bring all the kit I've got and I'll jump in and pull my weight on every song I can.

@TTony ;
Come and have a laugh.
I damn well know I need this.

@Strangefan ;
C'mon man, get up here and have some fun?

Awesome news you’re going to be there!

Strangefan · July 2018

@Alnico dood if I didn't have the kids I would have been coming, it looks like great fun!

Fair play, I haven't caught up with things yet.

Sounds great.

Thanks man, looking forward to it now I know I can.

Fair play man, but it would be better with you there if you can make it even just for part of a day.

vasselmeyer · July 2018

Nice one @Alnico it'll be good to see you again. Glad you managed to sort it out.

Me too.

It was just a case of waiting to see how money pans out and we now have our own car, which we didn't back then and didn't know we could have one then either.

Now I know, I'm well up for it and looking forward to it.

I'll pitch in wherever I can to help out with whatever people want or need, it'll just be good to play live again and see everyone.

darthed1981 · July 2018

Glad to see you are coming @alnico

thomasross20 · July 2018

Look forward to meeting you in person @Alnico!

Man this is coming up quick, I'd better get ready!

thomasross20 · July 2018

If there's any sort of electric jam (beat it??) and there's a spare electric flying about I'll give it a bash else will stick to acoustic (changed days!!)

fandango · July 2018

The last few weeks have been interesting ... with the weather being far too good to stay inside ... and starting a new job ... and a few things going on with the house ..... my chance to play, never mind practice, has taken a back seat. Partly out of choice, partly out of necessity to keep the gear dust free.

Now here's the thing. Been playing for 4 years. In the early days, I just needed to play and get the "chops" sorted. So picking up the guitar every day was a must, since I'd regress if I didn't. Now if I miss a day, it's no skin, because it's now in the hands. However, I have other issues - of the kind Eric Morecambe was famous for saying - you know the quote.... "all the right notes ... "

Even though I've only committed to one song, if someone has the chords to the other songs on the day, I might feel lucky.

Anyway here's something to inspire you people getting ready (esp you, @thomasross20 ) ....

McToot · July 2018

Given news of @Legionreturns fairly horrific sounding finger injury can I suggest that we look again at the set list. The tom petty tune, for instance, has just me and him on guitar. And I haven't learned it yet so I suggest we ditch that one?

It's pretty easy to play the rhythm bud. It'll take an hour to nail it, max. It's cowboy chords but with a little walk down thing. I could teach you it in seconds on a Skype call or something

It's one of those that I'm singing, so I'm quite keen...

I think @vasselmeyer was gonna play it too?

vasselmeyer · July 2018

That's news to me! I'll have a look when I'm back on my PC rather than my phone.

My mistake! It's the other two songs I was doing

Snags · July 2018

Which Tom Petty @McToot ;? ITGWO? I think I'm down for the acoustic part on that (I hope so, because I've learnt it) so as long as you can do the clever bits it should be OK, just maybe not as full.

Snags · July 2018

Set lists:a suggestion. Would it be possible to have the set lists up as publicly viewable Google Sheets? That way it's easy for us all to book mark them, and the organisers don't have to keep updating/posting images here? We can all just go back to a common location to check om progress / refresh memory.

It's something I've used in similar contexts, and it seems to work well. @Legionreturns , @Bridgehouse ?

Ah I didn't spot that. I was down to do rhythm (which I assumed was the acousticy stuff). I'm thoroughly incapable of doing 'clever bits'. I'll have a listen again, but I think without lead stuff it will be a bit flat.

Snags · July 2018

Ah. We'll work something out

Dontgiveupyourdayjob · July 2018

Swap the Tom Petty track for Free Falling maybe? I'm sure a loads of us know that one and will be able to pitch in?

There's barely anything lead wise, and I've played and sang it with just the chords loads and it sounds great. There's like a 2 bar solo which would be fine with just a bit of pentatonic widdling. The flavour all comes from the little walk downs on the rhythm.

That's a good idea - worth making editable too so people can put up song structures etc? Start of a new tFB resource?

Maybe too much work with it only a couple of weeks away but worth a thought for the future..

Snags · July 2018

@LuttiS IME making it editable to all can lead to chaos, but making it editable to key individuals can work well

@McToot and @Legionreturns ; I was listening to it on the way into work today. I'm a bit short of practice time between now and the do, but the little vamps on the into and early on are OK. I'd probably need to work on the 'main' solo to be confident. However, I'm happy to swap from the acoustic rhythm to the electric one (where there's a sort of bass note followed by some picking on the top notes of the chord going on) if @McToot's happier with the straight chords?

McToot · July 2018

I'll do what I'm told (as long as it's not too complicated). I don't have an electro acoustic and wasn't going to bother bringing my actual acoustic. I found at Woking that I brought a load of gear and didn't use much of it. I'll just play clean with an electric?

However, I too have loads of work on and not much practice time, so I'll pull out of Lil devil (that one has loads of people down for it) to concentrate on the other three.

Snags · July 2018

I'm sure there will be a lot of gear blagging going on. I'm planning on bringing two electrics and an electro-acoustic, and am happy to loan it out as needed.

Legionreturns · July 2018

All of my guitars are now spare

Bad luck, no chance of a recovery in your finger in the next couple of weeks?

Howdy, Stranger!
