Well that certainly makes my job easier. Should I make the tea?
Actually it's a good thing, because my head is already exploding, learning songs for the band I'm in.
I'll include the various changes at the next update of the song list.
Is @mart OK with that, as he's now playing bass on it instead of me. If it's a problem, I'll tune my bass down a semitone.
btw. Talk Dirty is currently listed as a semitone higher than the original.
I think you were OK with Fortunate Son being in A last time.
Thank, I'm here all week, try the fish.
Happy to do TALK DIRTY in the original key (F#) too. Makes learning it slightly easier.
We did Talk Dirty in G last time, because I think @mrkb wanted it in that key.
But, as he's playing drums this time, I'll assume F# is OK. Anyone who wants to, could tune down a semitone and effectively play it as if it's in G.
We can now cover 'Gold On The Ceiling' but it assumes @bobblehat ; can sing and do all the guitar parts, unless we get another volunteer on guitar. @bobblehat ; is that OK?

What are we saying time-wise? I'll provisionally say 10-6, any objections let me know by tomorrow
I'm OK, there's one built in to my Helix.
Am I right in assuming those are the ones where you're playing guitar, which are:
Rocks
Spread Your Love
Survival Car
Gold On The Ceiling
I can help on Rocks because I've learned it previously, and just need a quick refresher.
I'd need to listen to the others before commiting because, as I said earlier, my head is exploding with learning loads of new songs for the band I'm in.
Are there any takers in guitar roles for the songs listed above?
I wouldn't get too excited about about my theory of how Paul Kossoff played it live, having see Free at least a couple of times. Everyone's got a theory about how he played it. I can't claim to be sure I'm right
My theory was simply that, under the D chord, he played a low A with his pinky on the 5th fret of the 6th string.
I see that Dave Simpson has recently posted on YouTube about 'Proper Alright Now Chords' if you Google it. His theory is entirely plausible, but I'm not sure my hands are big enough to get a sound from the open A on the 5th string, as well as the A on the 5th fret 6th string. In my case, the edge of my pinky mutes the 5th string.
But there was definitely some action going on with Paul Kossoff's pinky on the 5th fret 6th string.
Originally, I thought he was only fretting the 5th fret 6th string on the D chord.
My logic was to allow the strums on the D chord to sound more percussive.
When I play the D chord, I fret the A on the 5th fret 6th string and mute the 5th string with the edge of my pinky. Also, the open 1st string is muted by the inside of my first finger which is fretting the 2nd fret 3rd string.
That allows me to strum across all the strings. The percussive effect comes from the muted strings, plus I use left hand muting by loosening my grip a bit to control the sustain of the D chord, to avoid too much of a drone effect.
Well it's a theory anyway

Great, I've updated the song list below. You can borrow one of my guitars, if you don't want to bring one. And, if you don't like mine, I expect there'll be plenty of guitars to choose from.
I can send you a chord chart to Comfortable Numb, if it helps save you some time.

As for "when am I ready?" You'll never be ready. It works in reverse, you become ready by doing it. - pmbomb
