Sorry, Pix. I play through the progression one time and have the temerity to suggest changes.
I should have listened better and longer before piping up.

Pix - Another song just came to mind - Didn't you post that you were working on "The Girl From Ipanema" some time ago? That's a song I'd like to learn - what chords / tabs do you use for that one? Remember - I've only got 5 fingers on my fretting hand.
Heya Tops & Pix,
We do quite a bit of jammin between our guitar guild , the guitar store jams and the bluegrass festivals. A word of advice for a
great jam sessions. Seems simple songs really work well 3 & 4 chord songs make it fun for everyone. The better players can solo over them great and everyone else can strum along. It just seems to keep things flowing and a festive time.
The more difficult songs usually aren't done well by a group so keep it fun 
Just wish I could make it , maybe another time or Come West Young Men
that sounds like a good idea wlbaye,just wish they were closer so I could go.I do hope they will video some of it to see what we missed.
^dino - I can't promise you video, but I'll do my best to get some photos up
Something fun we do at campfire sessions is where we take turns. Everyone has to do a song. Anyone is welcome to join any song they know, but each person in turn does a song. One fellow who brings an acoustic bass always just bangs out some riff that sort of kind of works and then gives it some crazy title like "Possums in a Can" when it's his turn and then plays bass lines on other people's songs. It's a fun way to do a few rounds. Topdown and I did something like that, except we'd get all excited and do two or three in a row.

As fun as something like this sounds, I can't believe more of these gatherings don't take place at various times during the year. It sounds sooooooo fun to even consider going to something like this. I would truly love to be a part of such a gathering and enjoy the comraderie. Dirty Ed has really talked up his times spent with fishing groups sitting around in the evening at a get-together similar to this. My only real experience like this has been a couple of times when my neighbor gets his friends together for something similar. Good music + good people = Great times! Enjoy, it sounds exciting.
Deep Ellum Blues is a simple strummer I enjoy. I play it in E, with an E7, A7 and B or B7 tossed in. Again - I'm just a strummer but if TubaT or Pix anybody else can add some lead licks, it's a fun jam type tune.

Come on down Bass Viking, pick up Dirty Ed on the way!
Thanks, Tops my rhythm guitar is passable but my lead playing sounds like a car wreck.
I dug up the lyrics to "Stand By Me" and "Stay" (just a little bit longer) to have some simple four chord tunes to jam. I also have a medley of "Shake it up Baby" and "La Bamba" in three chords. Gonna pass a good time, cher.

Nice song Tops! First time I've heard it.... I'm no lead player 
I can pick up most tabs or learn riffs or solos by watching someone else play them but improvising is beyond me for now 
I played through the intro run a few times and could help with that if needed, otherwise I'll be strumming along myself
Here's the version I play, but there are many other verses out there for this old classic

Love this version

That's the tab I was looking at earlier... cool!
You ever fooled around with "Ripple" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lVdTQ3OPtGY It's good and simple as well http://www.chordie.com/chord.pere/www.g … /7289.html I play the runs a little different than he does but keep the same basic feel...
Love Ripple - I tried it a long time ago, but at the time struggled with the Hammers / Pulls - I just printed it again and will work on it. Great tune!

Toots - If you can, send a link or pdf file of the tunes so I / we can prepare! These all sound like fun tunes! I gotta find my hi pitch "Oh won't you stay...."

Gotcha, Tops. Here's Ben E. King's "Stand By Me"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hmGQ5SlazJA
He's doing it in A. I might wind up doing lower in D or C maybe.
"Stay a little bit longer"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Nlf1I1sOqo
I'm passing on the high part.
"Shake it up Baby" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pVlr4g5-r18
Three chords in A.
"La Bamba" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yhFM81IcChk
I do it A,D and E.
No worries I have the spanish jotted down.
Cam asked for some suggested songs that he could practice on and this 3 chord strummer came to mind.
Toes - Zac Brown Band
http://www.chordie.com/chord.pere/www.r … -band/toes
I thought of another one I've been playing over the summer - a classic 3 chord sing-a-along
Sunshine (go away today) - Jonathan Edwards
http://www.cowboylyrics.com/tabs/edward … -6329.html
I learned Sunshine last year. It is very easy and really fun to sing.
I won't be there,but I think american pie would be a good song,seems like most people have it in there songbooks. That would be great if we could even see some pictures of it ,thanks topdown.
The chord changes aren't difficult on "American Pie" but there are a bunch of them besides four pages of lyrics.
Would a couple of newbies from Ohio be ok? New to playing but get along pretty well. Singing use to be my forte. Country is mostly my genre, if that fits.
^gabby - any and all chordians are welcome! And I am sure we could use a quality vocalist or 2 (just going by my own abilities that is). Come on down!

Thanks, I'm gonna check and make sure I can. It would be a lot of fun. Been looking for something like this around here. Not a lot available...
Bumping this thread to see / confirm interest. Looks like we have 3 definite (me, toots, pix), 1 likely (Cam) and 2 possibles (Gabby) so far.
