Okay, we are starting a band.

I have dibs on rhythm guitar (with some simple leads, licks) - also on background vocals.

Who else is in? Name your instrument, talent.

The goal is to have a good GTHC song by football season. We will have a formal practice at Tilly's house warming party!

-EarlJam

I call triangle.

I can play sax or keys.

I am a master at operating the "Singing Horses"

I'll tape y'all for posterity. And be a roadie.

Obviously I claim kazoo! :lol:

I'll take the empty 12 ounce air bottles :oops: :roll:

Agreed.

No vocals.

No stockings or go-go boots. Period. We have had THAT discussion before.

no musical talent - love to sing, have a voice like a bird but the bird is a duck.
I'm pretty good at video editing - so when you're ready for a music video I'll do that

I'll be the agent, promoter and roadie! depending on genre of music, maybe some singing! My piano and keyboard is a bit rusty!

I'll play my flute
GTHC!!!

Bass in yo face!

EJ, can we write a few songs in drop D tuning?

Yes PLEASE drop the D! Why do guitars and basses have an E as the lowest note anyway? This leads guitarist songwriters to fall in love with E and A chords.... which SUCK for sax players like me! Let's start a movement to always drop the D!

Standard tuning does afford those open string chords (E, A as you identified) but it also allows for bar chords that can be transfered up and down the neck of the guitar (mostly).

I am pretty technical, but does this have anything to do with affecting CHOP STICKS?

Thankfully, no. You can still bust out chop sticks on the piano. As long as I'm not around. ;)

Tilly has some lyrics ready.

I play the kazoo because I have absolutely no idea what either of you are talking about.
