Official Pre-Pragestock 2011 Thread

I'll have both of mine ready to go, so you'll get to play both a Standard, and a Flametop Special (both MIA Peaveys).

I've gotta warn you...you may just fall in love with the Standard. It's probably the best playing guitar I've ever owned. The word 'buttah' comes to mind. :embarrassed:

Great, that's just what I need--more GAS.
 
The is one bit of bad news.

Those in attendance last year will remember that we had Palladium on the TV pretty much all weekend.

That was just a free preview, and we no longer have the channel.

Of course, since the jam room is in the living room this year, there's really no point in having the TV on anyway.
 
Monkey Wrench rocks!!!
I'll try and learn that one tonight.

Indeed. I imagine Scott can handle the drums on it (he's kind of a BMF). I know the basic chords and such but haven't figured out the riffs or anything. If I can just sing it, that'd be awesome. :)

The good news is that Peavey no longer makes them, so you can't even buy a new one unless you get the new EVH Wolfgang, and the Standard version of that costs $3200 or so. :embarrassed:

Of course, used ones pop up on eBay all the time.
 
It'd be nice to play at least one Foo Fighters tune too, but I really don't know any well enough to play them. I could probably follow along well enough if somebody else knows it though...and I'm more than happy to sing it if I know the song at all.

I have the sheet music for "big me" I'll try to leEn it in a couple off days.

I always forget about that one. My band back in the mid 90s played it when it was new, though I haven't played it since. I remember it being pretty easy though.
 
Any extra bass parts are always appreciated by this large group that struggles with 4 strings. :wink:

When I invited Chuck, I told him we were short on drummers. He asked how we were for bass players. I told him we had none, but we had 25 guitarists that could pretend to be bass players. :grin:

He was not amused.
 
Thanks Baimun. I'll just run over to the guitar store on Thursday and use theirs...so no need to bring. Thanks though :thu:I've been kicking around the idea of coming in Friday. Maybe be their by 8
 
Looks like Monkey Wrench is in B with drop D tuning.
Pretty easy.
:thu:

Yup. The trickiest parts are not coming in early for "What have we done with innocence?" and getting the intro right. Most tabs I've seen do it wrong. You've gotta start on the 11th fret of the G and get your open B and high E droning along.
 
My mistake.

You're coming to the house on Thursday evening? Do you have to work on Friday?

I was planning to head that way mid-afternoon-early evening. Does that work? No, I don't have to be anywhere on Friday.

I've been playing My Hero and Big Me with my current band. I could probably pull of the bass part of Big Me if I have to, but the guitar parts are really more my thing.

That means you've gotta learn a Tom Waits song. :embarrassed:

Like that'll be hard. :rolleyes:

:grin:

Name the tune and I'll do my best. I've made a Pragestock CD that I've been listening to on my way to/from work the past couple days to prepare. A few more songs won't kill me.
