I can go last...that way everyone can get alcohol on board & working before I assault your tender ears. — Will "You're done, once you're a surfer you're done. You're in.

Posted on May 14 2009 12:10 AM too all that are considering joining in on the Jam, I would highly suggest to those that know they are not great players to rethink wanting to play. I dont want to come off as a dick. but would you want to watch somebody get up and hack away at a song. its not really fun to watch. I signed up for a few standards that I know well, for last year. but because of time, all those songs got cut. but I was able to get up and do Taco Wagon, with Ivan, Danny, and Jeff U. and there was a point where I totally went to the wrong part of the song, about 5 to 10 seconds early. luckily it was a similar sounding part. but I felt right then, that the 30 times going over the song, the week prior, did no good, and I wished I wasn't up there at that moment. so please if you are new to guitar, and or, coming back to it after a long time away, reconsider if you really want to sign up for the Jam. this is not a Blues Jam, its essentially a cover version note for note. by 4 people that haven't played together before. so you have to know the song backwards and forwards blindfolded. sorry if this is too rude. — Jeff(bigtikidude) Top
Staredge Joined: Sep 27, 2008 Posts: 1149 Damascus, Maryland	Posted on May 14 2009 09:16 AM No worries. I forgot the after the last sentence. I'm mostly kidding about playing lead....depending on the song. Part of the reason I haven't said anything for a while about the jam is that I'm not sure if I'm going to try it or not. I know I'm new, and don't have the ability to change up on the fly. I won't waste anyone's time unless I'm positive that I can play it dead on, at any tempo. — Will "You're done, once you're a surfer you're done. You're in. It's like the mob or something.

Jeff, I think you are too close to this to be objective. Seeing some of the "amateurs" play was a highlight of the day. They played with great enthusiasm, and in most cases were fine players (was anybody worse than my group of "pros"?) Also, these people left the stage with a huge smile, and left the Conference with a great story to tell. The conference isn't just a show, it's all the people that make up the SG101 community coming together, putting a face on the avatar. SG101 is a place where longtime players share knowledge with newbies, there is no "us and them" here. Maybe we will have more respect for someone's online opinions after seeing them play. Maybe less if they blow.
