Patience Mix

Just practicing and I decided to record my rhythm part and then record the lead over top. Thought I would see what you folks thought. Criticisms and ideas welcome.

Friday Night Jam

last friday night was fun...we waited to long to turn the camcorder on, but at least we remembered to do some recording this week. by the time we turned it on, steve only had on song left. we played Dammit...

btw, if you go to YouTube to watch the vids, you should be able to see the annotations for these blink videos. as usual...im an idiot.



after steve split we tried more blink...



been a while since we played some oasis, it was tough for some of us to remember it, but finally made it bearable.

Friday Night Jam

So last week we started with Jessie's Girl. Gotta say...sounded pretty damn good. The only one of us who knew the song was Chuck. We also went back to a bunch of favorites: Better Man, Porch, Your Love, My Own Worst Enemy and recent additions Jane Says and Blister In The Sun. They are all posted below and continue on to the next page. Enjoy!

Jane Says

Whoa! Not bad for our first time playing this. Anita surprised us with her Perry Farrell impersonation. Especially since shes never really listened to this song and didn't know the lyrics.

Company Car (acoustic) - Running Out of Tape

Yeah so...was practicing it and wanted to see what it really sounded like. Not so good...but, kind of funny. I'll keep practicing. Can't get the high notes right. I got lost at one point, then got distracted when I noticed the solid red "recording" light was now blinking. Finally got started again and finished the song. At the end I realized the light was blinking cause the tape was running out.

If you're gonna torture yourself and sit thru the vid...might as well watch it on YouTube so you can get the annotations with the video :)

Yellow Ledbetter

Frank playing like Stone Gossard and me just jamming with him. Anita keeping it real on the drums. I like the sound of this one.

Current Playlist Update

Take a peek at the current playlist and let me know if there is anything you want to add. We have 2 weeks off, lame...but that gives all of us time to practice any of the songs on the list we are not familiar with! Be ready to rock in 2 weeks!!

Patience (cover)

Anita left us early Friday night to try and beat the storm home...but she was too late. She also left her sun-roof open, so she had soggy bottoms by the time she got home. Chuck and I had one more left in us and we gave Patience another shot.

Patience (practice)

So Chuck taught me Patience on Tuesday but I didn't get to practice this week. Anita on the other hand, she has NEVER heard this song. The song doesn't even have drums on the original track. First time hearing the song and she was able to add drums to it on the fly and make it sound REALLY good. This video hear is what our practice jam session is like...

Don't Look Back In Anger (acoustic)

We played I Alone (posted below) and then stayed on the acoustics and worked on Don't Look Back In Anger by Oasis.

I Alone (acoustic)

Grilled some burgers, Anita brought some queso...it was a good Friday night. We screwed around with Come Out and Play and Porch. Then we moved to the acoustics and we played some I Alone.

Thursday, April 24, 2008

I couldn't sleep...

Messing around with rhythm and lead and video. Oh well, it was a good thought :)

Wednesday, April 23, 2008

Songs for thought?

So I, Anita, am actually posting on our blog. Shocking no? So I know we have so many songs we're working on, but I wanted your input on Oasis "Live Forever" (some fun solos can be extended) and Cake "I Will Survive" (GREAT bass part in song). I'll work on Creep, Porch, Your Love's drum part while singing, and I alone.

I Alone

After some not so great attempts at Don't Look Back In Anger and Better Man, we finished off the night with some Live. I screwed up the ending trying to get some feedback...accidentally muted the sound and blew it. Was a good laugh though...



Past attempts at I Alone:
- 04.13.2008

Porch (cover)

Woop woop! Some more Pearl Jam tunes! Porch...we're still working out how to screw around with the break and solos.

Your Love (cover)

Friday Jam was 2 days ago...we started this off with Your Love and Anita out did herself on the mic. (compare to our first attempt)

Jam Riffs 1 and 2

Here is a couple of riffs I came up with from our jam last Saturday. I kinda liked them so I wanted to make sure I didn't forget them like all the others. Now it is up to you guys to come up with some beats, licks and phat base lines for them. Still not feeling great, so I didn't work on them or try to perfect them. For a lack of a better name, heres Riff 1:



And Riff 2:

I Alone: The Lost Files

Chuck thought there was more to our jam session a couple weeks ago. I went back over the tape and found our I Alone jam and then another full cover of it. So without further adu...

I Alone, we're just jammin' at the bridge and letting Chuck do his thing.




After the jam we gave the cover a shot.

10 Awesome Guitarists You Should Know

A friend passed this link on to me...and now I do the same to you. As is the never-ending-circle of the interweb.
Oh sure, I could talk all day about Jimi Hendrix, Prince, Jimmy Page, Steve Vai, Brian May, Carlos Santana, Eddie Van Halen, Slash and the rest of them - all of them great guitarists. But these guitarists are the commercial heroes, and it’s about time to move the spotlight over to a few guitarists who have perhaps been overlooked by the general public for far too long. Thanks to the wonders of YouTube, I don’t have to make each and every one of you a mix tape.

Let’s get on with it, then… in no particular order, 10 guitarists you should really check out before you die: [ FULL ARTICLE ]
Jose Feliciano's "The Flight of the Bumble Bee" video is amazing!

Porch by Pearl Jam (chord chart & music)



Porch by Pearl Jam

A5 C5 G5
What the ffff is this world
Running to? You didn't
Leave a message
At least I...
could have learned your voice one last time.
Daily minefield, this could
Be my time, how 'bout you?
Would you hit me?
Would you hit me?

G A Bb A
Oh oh oh...oh...
G A Bb C
whoa whoaaa oww

A5 C5 G5 (x4)

A5 C5 G5
All the bills go by and
Initiatives are taken up
By the middle
There ain't gonna be any middle any more
And the cross I'm bearing home
Ain't indicative of my place
Left the porch
Left the porch

G A Bb A
Ohhh ohhhh ohhhhh
G A Bb C
Hear my name, Take a good look, This could be the day
Hold my hand, Walk beside me I just need to say...
G A Bb C

(solo)

G A Bb C
Hear my name, Take a good look, This could be the day
Hold my hand, Lie beside me, I just need to say
G A
What can I take? I just want to be
B C
I know that i would not ever
G A Bb C
Touch you, Hold you, Feel you, Ever hold, Never again

First run through of Hotel California

First off, meet the group...on drums we have Anita. Over on bass is 1/2 a double D, Daryl. On lead we get one of the best wide receivers at IBM, Chuck. And last and least, we got Frank on rhythm guitar. This is our first "real" attempt at play Hotel California together. This was back on January 18th, 2008.
