6 Strings 3 Chords and a Beer This jam had a very unusual beginning. On May 5th BobH and I were jamming, i.e. just having fun. Bob played the rhythm guitar part and I was playing a lead. During the playback Bob started singing. I immediately muted my part, grabbed a mic, plugged it in and hand held it in front of his face; I wanted to capture his vocal as he was making up the lyrics. Because of other commitments were couldn't get back to this until now. Just remember that this is a live on the spot vocal so it may not make sense in spots, but we thought it was worth posting as is. I would like your opinion on this quick and dirty jam. I'm sure that Bob and I will polish this into an "official" song sometime in the near future. I played the bass part on my fretless bass and the EP is from BiaB style Delusion MIDI Classic Pysch Rock. The EP sound is from Lounge Lizard, 3 Custom Electric Pianos. Because we didn't use a click track the timing varied around 46.nnn BPM. Thus I had to heavily modify the EP to fit the song. As always all comments are welcomed. {edit} I forgot to add the lyrics: 6 Strings, 3 Chords, and a Beer Sitin’ around just thinking I guess I was just drinking When I thought about those times we had I guess I was old then I guess I wasn’t much older This is all I ever had 6 Strings, 3 Chords, and a Beer What the hell am I doing here I guess I know by now Could have shown somehow That things just ain’t what they appear So give me 6 Strings, 3 Chords, and a Beer 6 Strings, 3 Chords, and a Beer

Mario,
That's a cool jam and BobH sounds excellent. You have the elements of a great song here. The bass, guitar and MIDI are working together perfectly.
Enjoyed this and look forward to seeing where it goes.

A great song was born from that jam session. I like it! Great title (aka "A Couple of Old Coots Reminiscing"  ) I would love to hear a polished version in the near future.

Bob Thanx Bob. BobH and I should be getting together in a month or so (life keeps getting in the way of getting together) so hopefully we can start to work on a finished version then.

Bob Bob said just what i was thinking .fj Thanx Floyd. A great song was born from that jam session. I like it! Great title (aka "A Couple of Old Coots Reminiscing" ) I would love to hear a polished version in the near future. Thanx. But these old coots do get together and have a couple of beers, 12 strings (2 guitars), and who knows how many chords we come up with!

Ha! That was fun. Of course I misread the end of the title as "...and a BEAR" so was expecting some woodsy hijinks involving wildlife. Though your topic is closer to "wild life" than "wildlife", I was not disappointed. Yes, more please!

Wild life for a couple of old timers like Bob and I does consist of 6 strings, 3 chords, and a beer!
