MichaelT Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Our local music store is sponsoring an open jam tonight at a local bar and I plan on going. I haven't gotten to play my Les Paul on stage yet, so I'm taking it. I'm not sure what songs I'm going to play but it's from 8 PM until midnight and they're wanting to let each person play three songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riffster Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 That's a sharp looking LP, is it a desert burst? I am not a musician and have only occasionally played at friends parties but one day I'd like to get on a stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capmaster Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 I start worrying when looking at your guitar's pic :unsure: I hope you added Strap Locks since. They are strongly recommended. I would never play a Les Paul without onstage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MichaelT Posted September 1, 2017 Author Share Posted September 1, 2017 Things went really well. About 20 musicians showed up and I think we had a pretty good rotation of people playing. I ended up playing about 12 songs or so and got to meet some good folks. A few people from my work showed up and some didn't recognize me with my hair out of the usual ponytail. I don't remember all the songs we played because quite a few of them I learned on stage. The ones I remember are: Mary Had A Little Lamb - Buddy Guy Crossroads - Cream Sweet Melissa - Allman Brothers Authority Song - John Mellencamp Whipping Post - Allman Brothers A couple of blues jams and a bunch of other songs that I can't remember the name of. One was a Robert Plant song that I wasn't familiar with. I wish i could remember them all. I'll add a couple of pictures after while. It was a lot of fun. My friend's band is playing tonight at the same bar and we are going out to see them again and a lot of the same people will be there. They'll have me get up and play a few songs, maybe some of the same ones. We had a great time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
