Guitar Jam Session



Four out of five doctors say that people who play music get more dates, have a lot more fun, and, when you get right down to it, are simply more cool than people who don't play.

We had tons of fun last Saturday when me and my 2 other friends decided to jam at Veteran's Cafe.There were 3 of us, Calvin, Hen & me. We rehearsed for a few hours before Saturday and it was fun. We started at 9 pm and ended before midnight.

These are among the songs we played.
1. Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol.
2. Lips of An Angel - Hinder.
3. The Way you make me feel - Ronan Keating
4. Wonderful Tonight - Eric Clapton
5. Somewhere we know - Keane
6. You and Me - Lifehouse
7. Never Say Goodbye - Bon Jovi
8. Mungkin Nanti - Peter Pan
9. Tequila Sunrise - Eagles
10 Living Next Door To Alice - Smokie
11. I started a Joke - Bee Gees
12. Words - Bee Gees
13. Leaving on a Jetplane
14. Kenangan Terindah

Henry played an Acoustic Guitar. Calvin and me played the electric guitar.




Henry plays the Santa Cruz acoustic guitar through an acoustic amplifier that can be seen in the picture.



Calvin plays the Yamaha electric guitar RGX520J through a custom made amplifier.Very creative.The guitar sound is processed through a Yamaha Zoom Guitar effect.Calvin's Yamaha is totally Japanese built and you cannot find the info on the net.However the equivalent is in this site.




I played an Ibanez Gio GRX40J electric guitar through a Peavey amplifier.The guitar is processed through a ZOOM GFX-5 Effect.You can check the WIKI for Ibanez history here.

We plan to do this every Saturday evening for the next one year or once a week since Vince has invested in the PA System.Heartfelt thanks to Vincent for allowing us to make fools of ourselves.By the way, drinks are free for the performers.So, drop by at Veteran's Cafe on Saturdays if you are in town.

We have not named ourselves so suggestions for the name of the band are welcome.
