beyond.ca Jam Session #3!

[rage2]

Alright, things have calmed down a bit and we're ready for another jam at my place (about time!).

Darkane wanted a Sunday Jam session, so I'll tentatively set it to Oct 22nd, 2006 unless that doesn't work for a lot of people.

This time, I've got more gear at my house. I bought a drum kit to practice on, it's missing a splash, so for drummers, that's all you'd have to bring. I'll post pics of the kit tonight.

Who's in this round? And do we want to actually practice a few songs to cover this time instead of winging it like last time? :rofl:

[finboy]

i'm down, i'll bring by a couple different guitars again


btw, slightly off topic, if anyone wants a vintage p90 guitar...
Item number: 250035512789 on ebay
mmmmm, vintage :drool:

[Chris101]

Is this strictly a guitarists session or are you guys looking to perform some music with vocals. I play a fair bit of guitar but mostly its just rythym that I can sing to. If you have any interest in a vocalist you can send me a list of songs and their keys and i'll let you know if I can do anything with them.

[core_upt]

I'm in for drumming as well as Darkane (if that's cool). I can bring anything drummers may need - cymbals, snares, dbl kicks, stands, throne. whatever.

[rage2]

It's for everyone. If you play violin, bring it by... I'm sure we can use a violin solo somewhere! :rofl:

Last time we lacked a bassist and a vocalist, so I (unfortunately) stepped up to sing. And I suck as shown in the videos from the jam session #2 thread lol.

The drums are quite loud so we need amps! I believe B16EM1 will have his Line 6 cab there, along with my Fender CyberTwin we should be good for 2 guitar amps that's powerful enough over the drums.

So we'll need a PA system + Mic (mine sucks) as well as a bass amp for the bassist.

I'll have the usual HD cam there for those that aren't camera shy ;).

[three.eighteen.]

maybe, i think its in the middle of the midterm swamp

[finboy]

if the cab is there, i'll try to bring by the orange head again, focking crank it :thumbsup:

I'll have a cab and if I do come you are welcome to jam on it.. probably just a 2x12" mesa cab unless I decide to save up a little longer and get the 4x12"

[Darkane]

Im in. Should be good with two drummers. We can alternate cover songs :) maybe we should start a list of covers to practise.

ANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNDDDD HE'S BACK

The man originally known as b_t...

You comin this time?

I'll def bring my Line6 this time.

[temps]

ahaha the man originally known as BumpinTalon, then b_t, now its my rl nickname :D

I'm going to hold myself to posts/day of 1.5 so the odds of me saying stupid shit are reduced hahaha

yeah I'm goin to come, I'll see if I can move band practice to saturday instead of sunday that week

[Lex350]

If I can make it to the jam, I have a 6 channel fender powered pa board and a couple of sm58 mics. What I don't have is any monitors to plug into it.

haha B16EM1 and I vote for Detroit Rock City!!! :rofl:

I'll vote for Sweet Child o' Mine if someone wants to learn the rhythm section. I can fake the solo pretty good now!

[b_t]

I could figure out the rhythm for that. We still have to do the immigrant song, too.

[rage2]

Sweet child o' mine rhythm part is pretty easy... I learned this part as my first song on guitar. There's 2 versions, one's a clean arpegio version for chords1 which sounds pretty lame, and one where it's all distorted which sounds better IMO (not to mention a lot easier to play haha).

Here are the chord progressions for the most part, I didn't write up the stumming patterns but it's pretty easy to figure out. Tuning is standard tuned 1/2 step down. I just wrote this up quickly from memory, I'll verify it when I get home.

http://www.virgeweb.com/rage2/immigrantsong.zip

[Focus]

count me in this time for some raging low end. I can bring my bass/cab/guitars/mics/and maybe a p.a.

[rage2]

Sweet! Bass will be a wicked addition haha.

[rage2]

[core_upt]

Panama - Van Halen

Livin on a Prayer - Bon Jovi

Youth Gone WIld - Skid Row

Live Wire - Motley Crue

[doublepostwhore]

I can bring my korg mixer, and korg I5 Keyboard.

Any other keyboard/Piano players?

I play Jazz/Improv, I can hack it hahaha.

[doublepostwhore]

[rage2]

Can you guys post the MP3's? I'm too lazy to download them.

You send me a PM to this thread so you can rub it in that you love my old amp!!! GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!

:P

My new Rivera Chubster is still not in yet. Hopefully anyday now....

I dont think I can make this one as I'll be doing work-related courses all weekend...I really want to come out to check out the next one though...enjoy guys!

[kerry]

Hahah I hate tube amps.....

On another note,

Learn "The Trooper - Iron Maiden"

=)

[legendboy]

i'm still not healed up enough to come and drum i think :cry:

although i could probably do a def leopard drumer impersonation :rofl:

I will pray to the tube gods asking for your forgiveness.

haha no kidding! :rofl: I tried to ask him why he hates 'em and it made no sense... but he's a guitar god so whatever, we must bow down and listen haha.

[Lex350]

Its rather ironic because I now play a transistor amplifier (line 6) but it has been the only transistor amp that I liked enough to ditch playing Marshall's and Hiwatts. I especially liked using a Power soak with a 100 watt head

Here's a review of one model

haha that's funny, B16EM1 was saying even tho I liked the sound of tube amps (both my amps are tube amps) I use my PodXT through the clean channel all the time :D. Line6 gear does sound pretty good though!

[Darkane]

Im game for Master of Puppets. Trooper i'd have to look at abit more.

[rage2]

I'll learn Master of Puppets this weekend. The Trooper is a damn fun song. I just learned it yesterday.

http://www.virgeweb.com/rage2/thetrooper.zip

[kerry]

Lol....


I still stand that I hate tube amps.

The only one I liked that I played was a White Anniversary Edition JCM 800.

:drool:

My cousin had one and sold it for like $1000 =(

OH and the Trooper is the best cheese metal song =)

[b_t]

I tried out a lot of solid state amps and none of them could get this much gain and still be tight.. they got all buzzy and didn't have this wicked pronounced crunch on every note.

If I knew how to use a compressor better maybe I could have gotten a better sound out of em, but as it stands my mesa is king :D

[finboy]

all i can say, the solo for sweet child o' mine is pissing me off, i have a clip i'm playing on youtube, i can see were the fingers go, i can hear where it should be played, but i'll be damned if i can play it :banghead:

saddest part, there is a TWELVE year old on youtube playing the solo, ugh.....i need to go practice more :rolleyes:

[rage2]

Which part of the solo? I can fake some of the fast parts half decent (the first 2 bars when the wah is turned on, repeated later on, is where I still struggle). I don't play it right either haha.

Whats the URL for the youtube video?

you should try this sometime. A buddy recommended it for figuring out tunes.

[rage2]

Anytime... F1 race is from 12-2, so anytime after that lol.

ya, I have a program that slows down my solos too. But it doesn't work for that section cuz there's so much wah there. What I do is that run up has 8 beats, and on the beat I listen to the notes hit on each beat, then I fake the 3 notes around it, add wah, and it sounds pretty close. I've tried numerous times learning that tab, and it sounds nothing close.

[rage2]

OK I've PM'd everyone on the list my directions. If you didn't get it, pm me or post here and I'll send it.

[rage2]

For the drummers:

http://www.virgeweb.com/rage2/misc/drums.jpg

[Lex350]

I'll bring a bass in case we don't have one. I'm going to have to try and learn some of these tunes tomorrow. I'm going to be so rusty...I might have to bring a bag to put over my head.

[kerry]

How come I didn't get a pm

[finboy]

[Chris101]

Hey all,
