OK
Saturday
First I get woken up my my mobile, It's Ade wanting to go round the guitar stores, Fine idea and at any other time I would happily go except A. I had a mild hangover B. I would have bought that JS900 C. With the exception of an appearence by
Paul Gilbert somewhere nothing was getting me out of bed at that time in the morning.
Mark and I meet up in the hotel and head to the studio, Now with only the force I manage to remember where the studio is located. Hurrah !
Now I always get a bit nervous when I'm playing with people to quote
Steve Vai, "I'm not really a Jammer y'know! " So after finally getting the jem in tune I try playing a cool bit in Viking Kong (Racer X tune) which kinda bombed
After a while my playing settled to mediocre blues licks although when playing Clive's N3 (I can confirm that that is what it is now) playing through the neck pup brought back old memories of a tone long since lost.
The Jam was a blast
Green tinted was ok but we can do better next time.
Next time I'll have learned the rhythm to The Drill Song
Ving, I should have had a go on your P3 since I'm a Nuno fan boy too and your Nuno licks are cool, I could have listened to that fo ages.
Globbits, You were too quiet (Vocally
) but you have some pretty good chops there yourself. I've been fumbling around on the guitar since 91 BTW. Oh yes and apologies when I turned you off, I had thought I was playing through the V-amp and decided to re-tune whoops !!
Mark, You do have come cool tapping licks, Clive thought so too or I gathered that from his double take when you did it.
Clive is as always Clive, great guitar player, great guy nice guitar
He and another guy have changed my opinion that Cornford amps suck donkey balls.
James, Whatta tone, I just had to play the 7 string through it. ( Dex I have one of these so that's why I could play it. ) and none of this my leads suck buisiness, you didn't get the gig cause you suck. I thought your leads were cool.
Dex, You should have played it's not about being the fastest, (Mental note: Jamie was faster, must practice more
) It's just about taking part. at one point I even tried just playing one note but it died out so.....
Salemb, Yet another cool guy who I'm glad to know.
Simon, Pete, Yadda yadda, Pete the hair does suit you,
We should have went to Gossops on Sat although I might have fallen asleep
Wipeout, I have to say that Jamie really impressed me, you certainly have the Richie Kotzenesque sweep tap thing down nice ESP too ! Darren also what a player, I remember Jemfest when you guys played. I just wish I could come to your gigs, you guys most certainly rock
Big thanks to Simon (AGAIN) for organising this. It's always fun coming down, I just wish I lived there it really is too much metal for one hand !
apologies to any I missed out
