Calling @TTony, @darthed1981, @McToot and @springhead....

Fortunate Son, good work chaps!!!! I'm off into the garden to hunt Charlie!....

****EDIT **** Slight Error fixed in the above - As you were, Nowt to see here.....

Theres some great riffs/lead lines going on over the chords on this track - whos the player and what guitar/amp combo was used?

Thank you! That was me. It was my old '60 Les Paul Special into Stuart's Tweed Deluxe. No pedals. Sounded good in the room too.

poopot · June 2018

Calling @TTony, ;@MtB @drumswithpoopot - The doctor will see you now!!!!

Apologies for busking this one!

Snags · June 2018

Any chance you could post something where everyone sounds a bit crap, just to encourage those of us jam virgins who are coming to the next one?

The drummers and bass players were so good it was difficult to sound bad, not impossible but difficult : )

Well, well,. Not too shabby for a first take with people we've only just met. @sev112 cracking job on the vox and solo's. Many thanks @poopot and @ttony (and others!) for all the hard work.

poopot · June 2018

OMFG!!!!! I missed this on the day as I was in ASDA buying @drumswithpoopot a sandwich and some deodorant

Blimings!!!!!

Calling @slacker , @pmbomb and can I assume @Bridgehouse????

Your Yankee Lady is ready!!!

pmbomb · June 2018

thanks @poopot ;;;

much lolz, it's the Kravitz-punk version!

would have done that 10 x better with a second take, it's hard to walk in cold and kick straight in like that.

solo's OK for totally improv'd pentatonic shape 1 and my glacial speed self tripping-up fingers, and I got the key change right.

awesomeness from @slacker - we should have another go mate!

pmbomb · June 2018

and + 1 for the bass player who didn't know we were doing it Kravitz style (and key) until 30 seconds before we started.

Bass player got a groove on that’s for sure!...

as for one take, this track has very little bleed down the drum mics... if you have the ability to record, you could easily redo the guitars if you’re not 100% happy with them!!!!!

That said it sounds bangin as it is!!!!!

pmbomb · June 2018

ta - nah what's done is done, publish and be damned.

poopot · June 2018

Shamone Mother Hubbards!...

Ah, you were doing it Kravitz style! Sorry, never picked up on that - drums are totally wrong!

Guitar_Slinger · June 2018

Kee-kee!

. Listened to Beat It with a smile on my face, as it took me back into the room. First of a few sessions on bass for me.

It was good to say hello to @drumswithpoopot, talk about the intro and jump straight in. Fun day.

Not a problem, sounded ok to me.

Also 4 people playing different things worked for the Who.

Brocco · June 2018

Listening to your own contribution in a band context is so enlightening! I have to agree with all the earlier comments on how valuable these jams are for those like myself who are less accomplished and have no experience of playing in bands. These events would not be possible without the generosity of everyone who steps up to take on the sometimes thankless organisational aspects, and the experienced players who provide encouragement, support and some very useful playing tips. May there be many, many more....

Those extra bars at the start of verse two entirely my fault!

Rule number one!... the verse starts when the diva sorry, singer says the verse starts...

Everyone else holds on what they are doing till the vocal kicks in!!!!!!

Wisdom given. The vocalist is never wrong.

A pro violinist friend of mine, when I was having an apology/confession-fest, once told me a lovely story of when she first rocked up to her first proper orchestral gig. She made some minor error and said "sorry" and the chap sat next to her was at the other end of his career just looked at her and said "Young lady, never apologise for anything. They've asked you to be here, you're good enough, that's it."

She's an incredibly humble and gracious person, but she said those were probably the most helpful things anyone ever said to her.

(Despite this she's apologised to me when we've played together in a friends/amateur context, which always makes me howl with laughter, as I generally feel like I should apologise for existing when it comes to making music with her, she's just brilliant).

That is extremely kind of you to say @Flanging_Fred ;

Given that was the first day in a couple of months that I’ve been anywhere out of the house for more than half a day and am normally asleep after a couple of hours, and my illness has massively reduced my ability to practice for any more than 10 to 15 minutes at a time, I was really pleased just to get through it. I’m glad I learned the licks back when we did the initial arrangements for the day and didn’t leave it til the end

Really enjoyable day for multiple reasons, but thanks for putting up with me

pmbomb · June 2018

That's very good you guys, be proud.

TTony · June 2018

And thanks @poopot for getting them all posted here.

Bonjour to @TTony, @Bridgehouse and @slacker ;

Call me the Breeze:

P.S. remixed Sweet home - Listened in the car and there just wasn't enough guitars for my liking....

So, turns out that I could sing and keep the rhythm going. Just had to stop thinking about it, and just play it

I told you - I watched this from the control room and was very impressed!!

McToot · June 2018

Damn it - I'm always late to these things. Not listened to all tracks yet (though I will). From a purely personal perspective it's not difficult to tell there were nerves in Supernova. The fact that I had to stay in the room for a second track immediately after means that Fortunate son sounds much tighter (it is much easier to be tight on that track it has to be said) as I'd relaxed a bit.

Its really intersting for me, having never been recorded/mixed is that it ALL sounds very different to the live room.

Thanks to @poopot for the the mix, @drumswithpoopot for thumping the tubs on 2 or 3 of the songs I was on , and to all the fellow strummers/shouters/widdlers

Howdy, Stranger!
