Snags · October 2018

I'm happy to switch from guitar to bass on "Get Back" if you want (as long as I can borrow a bass)?

I'm on quite a few already, and whilst the guitar parts are getting there, they're scrappy as hell, and my practice time is going to be limited. Plus there are loads of people down for guitar on that one, so probably a better distribution.

SteveF · October 2018

Happy - although I'm a little confused as to the 4 guitars plus acoustic on DoA? How do I know what is guitar 4?

Its just a way of keeping track of how many want to play rhythm on a track, if there are too many we'll do two runs through (though I might not be able to sing it twice!). You're down for the solo, and can do any of the other intro/outro/widdly bits. Feel free to contact the others who are down on that track and understand their level (You can do a group message), if they want to play particular bits. I might not play at all on that one - as I found out at the weekend, its difficult to sing and play at the same time......

SteveF · October 2018

Ah, I'm with you. No worries at all. I'd offer to help with the singing, but I'm pretty bad at it! The guys in my old band used to turn down my backing vocals everywhere except my monitor! I only found out after a few months when someone told me they couldn't hear me!

Great - you can play whatever you fancy! Im planning on staccato crunchy chords while Im singing so either would work.

@Hywelg - what do you want to do rhythm wise on WMGGW??

The picked open chords as per JH. I'm trying to learns some end of line fills that JH plays as well.

I'll play the intro solo as per JH record. There are two solos (first after Verse 2 and the second is an outro solo) on the record so we can divvy them up as required.

Jeff Healey - While My Guitar Gently Weeps ( @Hywelg request ) @idiotwind @spark240 - are you Ok to pick this one back up?

Yes, that's fine with me

darthed1981 · October 2018

That has turned into a GREAT set list, I'm stoked enough to ACTUALLY PRACTISE!

paulmapp8306 · October 2018

Can pick up keys on get back, while my guitar gently weeks (probably) and chasing cars.

Do you want to take the Chasing Cars "riff" on keys when it is on it's own (it would double during the chorus)? Not much point doubling it on guitar if so?

darthed1981 · October 2018

HI @mrkb just going through the setlist organising me practising.

Can I please drop off Holiday Road as Tommy and co have that one nailed.

Thanks

You haven't heard my bass attempts yet!

I'll tell you what you could do @darthed1981 if you have the time and capacity? I'm struggling to play bass at the same time as singing the harmonies.

You want me to do backing vox? Yeah sure if you like.

thomasross20 · October 2018

Awesome...!

Man the high parts are HIGH but if my voice doesn't croak, I can manage...

Will add @SteveF and @thomasross20 to Knockin - I also fancy a go at the first solo if theres opportunity/a second run through.
@Handsome_Chris - what were your song suggestions? I cant find the post - thanks
Anyone else interested on playing on any of these songs??? In Bloom needs people on it - @Skinnyhead45 - what do you want to play on that song?

Sorry only just seen this

I'll play rhythm on In Bloom please

@Skinnyhead45 do you want to take the little solo on this?

If not I can cover this and vocals if nobody else puts their hand up.

As in you want to do the full guitar part?

Excellent

darthed1981 · November 2018

Spent a good hour and a bit going through my setlist songs.

Chasing Cars is quite fiddly need to practise to get it sounding decent with my dodgy right hand

Snags · November 2018

It's watching too many Mary Spender videos that does it ...

That one is sprained.

I'm not sure handedness is a reliable indicator (another leftie writes)

and play right-handed if I recall? Good for you.

Never occurred for me to even try left-handed playing.

Snags · November 2018

I tried it both ways (fnarr) but playing right-handed just felt most natural.

I've always wondered if it was a dumb choice at the time, as my right-hand technique is awful (although all my technique is awful, so it's probably not the handedness that's the issue!). A friend recently acquired a left-handed Squier and I tried that out of interest. Couldn't even form a chord correctly.

SteveF · November 2018

Gents, I've just had the call to go in for an op at fairly short notice (8th). I am hoping to still be able to come along and play, but I may still be unable to drive or pick up a guitar that soon after. It may be worth identifying someone to stand in for my parts if I can't make it? Sorry for the lack of notice and poor timing but I have been waiting for this op for nearly a year and can't risk turning it down at this point.

Snags · November 2018

Bummer, although good you're getting the op, presumably. Where are you coming from? If you're up to attend but can't drive I'll have a spare seat, heading up from Hertfordshire.

mrkb · November 2018

No problem @SteveF . Will check what your on and prime the others that they might need to cover.

Im sure @hywelg would be happy to do solo on wishing well, and @shelders can cover Dancing in the moonlight solo.

Does anyone know “wanted dead or alive” solo? Or something similar?

spark240 · November 2018

I can cover Lizzy solo if needed.....I’d like to give it a go at some point .

Yep can do @mrkb. Ta.

Howdy, Stranger!
