Western Jam 7th October 2023 @ Firebird Studios, Bristol

guitargeek62 · August 2023

It might be a little late to add one, but if anyone fancies chucking a Homme-related song (i.e. QOTSA, Kyuss, Them Crooked Vultures, etc) into the lineup then I'm game for pretty much anything and happy to cover rhythm, lead, or bass on them - though preferably something other than 'No One Knows' please!

Cheers chaps. Front page up date.

@Onlyonbradders @Jonathangus do we have a drummer please?

Any update chaps?

OK, I'm fairly sure Andy will be up for it. Only trouble is, he's suffering from carpel tunnel, so drumming is off the table atm. But hopefully October is far enough ahead that it'll be sorted by then.

Probably going to have to sit this one out. Sorry all… a) my back and hips are not well at the mo and b) my wrist (don’t think carpal tunnel, more likely tendinitis or tenosynivitis) is not improving… I’ve not played drums for months at this point.

guitargeek62 · August 2023

Ah jeez, that sounds horrid - best of luck to you Bradders!

stratman3142 · August 2023

Really sorry to hear that @onlyonebradders, hope you get it sorted soon and make a full recovery.

Neilybob · August 2023

Pants! Gonna miss you @onlyonebradders but recovery comes first. Hope to see you at the next one.

roberty · August 2023

That sucks @onlyonebradders hope you're feeling more agile and less achey soon

mrkb · August 2023

Sorry to hear that, Hope you recover soon Andy!

stratman3142 · August 2023

I think we might have to postpone this one until Andy is better, unless there are any other drummers. Any thoughts?

guitargeek62 · August 2023

I could play cowbell?

Depends on what people want from the day. I’m happy to just do drums on the day, but can’t learn loads of new songs - might be able to pick up a few of the proposed ones though - will need to listen to them.

am happy to redo songs I’ve already learnt/drummed on in previous jams if we want to do any songs from previous jams.

onlyonebradders · August 2023

Thanks for the best wishes chaps…

Thanks for stepping in.

What songs do know on drums?

stratman3142 · August 2023

Here's a new list showing where we need a drummer.

Does @mrkb want to take any of those slots, in some cases forgoing other roles on guitar.

Alternatively can anyone esle drum on them? Or does @mrkb want to suggest any songs he'd be comfortable drumming.

mrkb · August 2023

Im happy to pick up any 4/4 kick/snare standard beat type songs that can be defined as "8 bars verse, 4 bridge, 8 bar solo, etc" - so I can wing a basic drum part, but don't think any of the existing Ex-Andy songs were like that.

Have stuck a list of the songs I have mostly learnt for previous jams already below.

stratman3142 · August 2023

@mrkb thanks for that. I feel a highly revised set list might be needed now. I've played quite a few in your list.

What does @Neilybob think, as I'm assuming he's in charge for this one? I'm just the monkey with the typewriter.

guitargeek62 · August 2023

@mrkb thank you, sounds good to me - put me down as interested against On A Plain, Free World, Molly’s Chambers - any guitar/bass parts on those please

Tbh I’m happy to go with the majority.

I’m just the monkey who made the original post.

Great song list @mrkb ;

mrkb · August 2023

I just happy if we can resurrect some form of live music jam on the day.

Can add "Joan Jett - I Love Rock n Roll" to possibles list as well.

If anyone has simple drum song suggestions Im happy to add a few other suggestion in.

stratman3142 · August 2023

@mrkb just checking but are the songs in your list the ones that you're happy to play drums on?

Yes - I have played those all over last 5 years (so have the transcriptions ready so I can quickly get them upto speed).

stratman3142 · August 2023

Here's a new mega list thanks to @mrkb. Let me know if there are any errors, as it's getting a bit tricky to keep up.

I've put myself down for some of the bass and lead guitar roles but can swap if needed.

Is @mart available to add grooving basslines this time?

I've not heard from him this time. Definitely a huge asset to the jams.

Jonathangus · August 2023

OK, can manage lead on Teenage Kicks, rhythm on Molly's Chambers. And I seem to recall doing vox on Comfy, so go on, then.

Vibetronic · August 2023

Ok cool, I’ll take a proper look tomorrow and get back. I know some of those and can jam around others. Thanks for this @mrkb , much appreciated. And @onlyonebradders - get better soon mate, you’ll be missed! Apologies for my absence for a while, child and family illness have intervened once again but I am still on track to attend

roberty · August 2023

My drum chops are sorely lacking these days. I can maybe get a practice pad and some sticks but I don't know how focussed I can be

Howdy, Stranger!
