Jackroadkill Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 I'm fully aware that you lot will be able to play this in your sleep, but hey, I'm a beginner! I'm absolutely loving playing this in my living room, and it's coming to band practise with me for the first time on Monday night. Wish me luck... 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SH73 Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 Playing reggae drums. As a rock and metal head , I have no idea why. But I believe it improves overall timing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveXFR Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 I really enjoyed learning Losing My Religion by REM so thought I'd try another of their songs. What's the Frequency Kenneth was an alt rock classic from my youth. Turns out it's not as easy as I expected. It's a good one though 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Pre chorus sounds like there's a couple tricky little bits but nothing too unreasonable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LewisK1975 Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 Rusty Cage by Soundgarden has vexed me for years. I know the first half of the song is ultimately a 4/4, but I'm damned if I can find/hear the 'one' when I listen to it, and I've listened, A LOT hahaha.. The second half of the song, which is technically more challenging time signature-wise, I can get that no problem, weird! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reggaebass Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 Well for something completely different I’ve downloaded the tab and backing track to this and I’m going to give it a go over time, although at 1.20 I don’t think its going to happen quite like Miki 😁, should be fun 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EssexBuccaneer Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 I’ve been invite back for a second rehearsal/audition so have got a few tracks on the go at the moment. Whilst hopeful that I get the gig, am terrified of a 36 song setlist landing in my lap, with looming dates booked! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony_m Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 Latest two we started on last week are End of The Line (Travelling Wilburys), and the single version of Don't Fear The Reaper - think it's fair to say the latter is going to be a much-simplified version, but we'll see how we get on! Other than that, we've also got a few numbers (including Life In The Fast Lane, Heartache Tonight, How Long, and Rocky Mountain Way) which myself, Mr Drums and Mr Lead Guitar have got sorted, but which Mr Rhythm Guitar and Mr Singer / Acoustic Guitar seem to have forgotten all about / lost interest in... 🤨 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, I'm sure we'll come up with a reasonable stab at it and hopefully surprise a few people - it's definitely not a tune that gets trotted out regularly round here. 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fleabag Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 You wreck me - Petty ( RIP ) in F , except one of the guitarists now wants to do it in E No perspiration. Easy song. 6th track we do of Petty's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reggaebass Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 For something different I’ve added this one to my list, the more I listen to it the more I like it, was going to use this video as a shortcut for the notes, does anyone play this tune 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fleabag Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 Got a fabulous bassline, both verse and chorus. I'm the only band member that has it completely sorted, but its early days 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
