Assuming its there again this year, I was thinking it would be cool to get together a group of inforoo folks to jam there. THere was minor discussion of this in a Playgroudn thread a while ago but it died off. I paly bass and guitar. Anybody else here play something?

Lot of bass players! Suprising! I also play bass and sing. I would really like to jam with you guys! You guitar players know how to jam in 12 bar blues patterns?
i would love to jam at roo (guitar or w/e). i wont be bringing any of mine bc i dont want them in the humidity (not to mention leaving them alone) but i am down to jam. and especially blues.

ya im not bringing any of my guitars or bass either because of weather and dont want to leave them in the car either. all that was supplied tho right? i know its wierd to play a guitar other than your own....at least for me......but hell ya i would be down to jam some blues all day! I play mostly lead, but can do whatever

so ok i wanna do this for real. do they have pedals available for the guitar? but seriously if they dont i would bring mine. i wouldnt worry to bring pedals because i can hide them in my locked car and they will be fine. i wouldnt bring many, just like my essential 5.

im completely down to jam. as to pedals i dont remember if they had any or not. sounds like tons of fun though. if we could just figure out a time when all the equip is open and nothing major is going on. i do remember last year that thurs maybe it was empty till a little later in the afternoon. lets do it!
with all the people here that play the same instrument we could keep the jam alive and just have like one person step out at a time and then switch instruments with the next one of us (Phish/Tortoise style) . inforoo can just own the stage- as long as new people are getting a chance to play they cant get mad. have the drums and guitar still goin and the bassist lets a new guy take his place and so on for the rest of the instruments. that would be so much fun

we will find a way my friend. this will be the best way to get out those creative vibes of roo. after a concert i always get in the mood to jam. i just loop and jam over stuff all that night. now we will have an outlet and we will have lots of people. big jams are sooooo bad a,ss

would there be anyway I could plug my violin in? that could get sick.
im guessing you dont have an electric violin so you would need a violin pickup OR just mic it (not sure if they have instrument mics or just vocal mics)

just they way the post was phrased to me sounded like it wasnt electric. if someone has an electric violin then of course they can plug it in and therefore would not need to ask if this was possible. if he does have an electric violin and was just asking if he could join in on this jam, i would say no need to ask it seems....i think the whole idea was anyone that wanted to was more than welcome. the more the merrier in my book :-)
i think he was asking more like will he have an available amp or channel in a p.a. or whatever to plug his electric violin into, not if it were possible to do so.
if needed i could bring an amp for someone if they need it. a simple practice amp but its something. im wish it could be my beauty but of course thats far too heavy and something that would never see roo. and i would also be playing it anyway . i def agree about the jamming. we need as many folks as we can to get involved because its way better that way!
there are no pedals except maybe footswitches for the amps to change channels but thats it. im totally down for some blues-funk jammin. i say we start the jam off with the main riff from Chameleon by Herbie Hancock
yeah, my violin is electric, I just didn't know if there would be any available amps or whatnot around. after watching the vid of andrew bird's set last year, I got inspired and learned how to play.
