AgedSonics Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 Anyone interested in an instrumental band? Our aim is to evolve a very eclectic repertoire (so we can tailor the playlist to the gig/venue); Shadows, Ventures, jazz/lounge (like Breezin' etc), Santana, Gary Moore, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Joe Satriani.... Not high-pressure, we all have other bands, families, work commitments etc. I have attached the list we (lead gtr, rhythm gtr + drums) have covered so far for interest. Quote
keyedit Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 This sounds interesting. I'm not too familiar with the specific artists' work you've mentioned but like the idea of instrumentals and jazz/lounge in particular. I play a fretless Godin A4 and I'm based in Farnborough. I have other commitments too so sounds like we could be a good fit. I'm a young 55 but I'm uneasy about the handle AgedSonics I couldn't read your attachment so if you could find another way of sending me it I'd appreciate it. do you have any recordings? Quote
AgedSonics Posted February 13, 2015 Author Posted February 13, 2015 This sounds great - and a Fretless Godin must be [u]awesome[/u], I'd love to hear that! Don't worry - I'm about the same age Could you maybe drop me an email to jthomas1 -at- hotmail dot co dot uk and I'll reply with the files & more details. Quote
Born 2B Mild Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 No numbers from the master of Twang? Quote
Telebass Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 I'd love this. Alas, West Devon is a touch too far! Quote

[/quote] The attachments names are 'mangled' by the System, but really they're just pdf files. Save as [whatever].pdf and they're fine. Incidentally, I grew up in Bedfont (Monarch Close...); seems strange to see it referenced here..! Quote
AgedSonics Posted February 13, 2015 Author Posted February 13, 2015 'Twang' - as I said, we aim to build an eclectic playlist, [u]anything[/u] is in scope. Devon is quite far, but we do have a cars..... seriously, if it interests you, let's chat. Good point re the attachment, but as you can see in the chain above, I have shared my email address [a little 'obfusticated' coz I believe they don't like us posting email addr in forums?], anyone who wants a direct attachment and/or some more details drop me a line!

AgedSonics Posted February 19, 2015 Author Posted February 19, 2015 Great stuff - does this mean you're interested in the instro band??? We use Mick's studio at the Bedfont Community Centre in Hatton Rd Quote
Happy Jack Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 Interesting ... I assumed you'd be rehearsing deep in the heart of Surrey (and yes, I know that Farnborough is actually in ... gulp ... Hampshire). Is the plan for this to be a genuine gigging band, rather than merely a bit of fun on the side or (Gawdelpus) a vanity project? If so, please drop me a PM. Quote
