SpaceChick Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 [quote name='lowdowner' timestamp='1355591171' post='1900331'] Sounds good - can you point me in the direction of a Dear Prudence tab online? [/quote] Here you go! http://tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/b/beatles/dear_prudence_ver2_btab.htm I've made some adaptations for the band, as we start the track just bass and vocals, so I start on the A string D, then C, then b flat then B, but once the other instruments come in, I go up to the 7th fret on the G string.

rogerstodge Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Not my favourite ( yet) but i'm gonna have a go at "you'll always find me in the kitchen at parties", just read that the mighty Watt-Roy played bass on it.. Should be a doddle then.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirky Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 I love playing "Heard if through the grapevine" but my current band doesn't do it. I'm really looking forward to playing the John Mayer Trio's version of "I Got a Woman" which we've rehearsed a couple of times and will be adding to the set - simple in many ways, but the timing has to be really spot on.

Japhet Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Don't play it anymore (cos we don't have a female singer!) but I always loved playing You Oughtta Know by alanis Morisette. I heard somewhere that Flea and Chad Smith were on it but don't know if that's true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Love this, play it most gigs, don't really follow the Flea lines much, tend to jam my own lines round them. Also love Superstition, dead simple but such a lovely groove. My lot won't do it but another band I've depped with does so I look forward to the next opportunity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Dave Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 [quote name='flyfisher' timestamp='1355573386' post='1900051'] No mention of Mustang Sally then ? [/quote] Yes. Not sure if I have a fave song to play but it would be up there. It's right at the end of our set - which means I have that great feeling of another gig done without any of us dropping dead and a pint waiting for me. We have folk - usually young , curvy , types of folk in short skirts (and , hopefully , with a 'Daddy' complex) ! - on stage with us as backing singers - place is gong nuts , as it always does when we play Mustang Sally ....... what's not to enjoy about that.

Bikenbass Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Used to enjoy playing 'Run To You', Brian Adams, but played so much I grew fed up with it. Seems to be how I am with most songs tbh. No wonder I can't stick with any genre for too long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AussieBassman Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Well, one of the covers we do is "Treat Her Right" which for me is just another song, but on Saturday we played at the Rebels in Sorell (think Hell's Angels!) with a dep guitarist and it rocked! Don't know why but it just felt really good when we all locked in on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seashell Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 At the moment it's 20th Century Boy by T Rex. It's the only one on that everyone in my band can get right! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScreencastTutor Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Right now... probably Good Times by Chic. If I could play them 100% it would be: Parliament - Give Up The Funk The Allman Brothers - Jessica Brothers Johnson - Get The Funk Outta My Face Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darkandrew Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 (edited) I've just bought a new guitar effects processor (a Boss GT-100) and I've found myself playing loads of new wave / new romantic songs such as Duran Duran's "Hungry Like The Wolf" and even the Sisters of Mercy's "Some Kind Of Stranger" purely because some of the GT-100's ridiculously over-the-top presets match the equally ridiculously over-the-top guitar processing on these tracks (you've gotta love the 80's!). No doubt, if I'd bought an Oberheim OBX synth I'd be playing Van Halen's "Jump" all night. Great fun!
