DTB Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 Live at Daryls house normally churns out very high quality music. Love Rob Thomas singing that, or anything really. Matchbox Twenty with Unwell was one of my fav songs in my acoustic set. It fitted my mental health well. Lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really enjoying it, I hope it goes down well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slipper91 Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 Working on this, nailing all the variations during the solos part is a bit of a task haha 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DTB Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 Street Life and Midnight Train to Georgia. Midnight Train was a tricky one had to play along about 5 times before I got it spot on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishfacefour Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 Spider by herbie Hancock. It's loads of fun to play, but I can't get the 1 in the intro section. I'm learning the album version but this live version is great. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EssexBuccaneer Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 We’re adding Audioslave’s Cochise to our set as an opener, will be practicing it for the first time at rehearsal on Tuesday. Killer song. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gt4ever Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 I have a couple I’m working on at the moment. Little green bag cos I’ve started and stopped learning it so many times, I’m now keen to get it down 100% and Three days by jane’s addiction, just cos it’s an incredible song and I’ve again started and stopped a few times but gonna give them both more time to try perfect.

vantagepointrocks Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 The Huey Lewis cover of the Phil Lynott tune, Giving It All Up For Love. Verse and Chorus are easy enough, but the solo section is currently well above my pay grade ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m doing Queen songs at the moment too, but more 70’s ‘flat key’ stuff (somebody to live, bo’ rap, don’t stop me now) just to learn how to read again after the ‘brain drain’ of long covid.

EssexBuccaneer Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 We’re adding the Beastie Boys ‘Sabotage’ to the set. My chance to shine 😃 Having never been particularly adept at muting strings, I’m learning a whole new skill in the process! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiram.k.hackenbacker Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 Learning a whole Queen set at the moment. We’re having to do it in chunks of 4/5 songs at a time as it’s too much to refine in one go. The current batch is Keep Yourself Alive, Another One Bites The Dust, You’re My Best Friend, Under Pressure and Now I’m Here. Under Pressure is no problem as I played it for years in a Bowie tribute. Another One Bites The Dust is not exactly taxing either. You’re My Best Friend is an interesting tune as per the studio recording, but John played a lot of the high stuff lower on Live Killers which is what we’re using as a template. Now I’m Here and Keep Yourself Alive we’re equally interesting. The guitarist properly has his work cut out for him, but he’s doing a fantastic job. He’s not that keen on playing the Brian May guitar he’s bought though. He’s ordered one of the proper expensive ones hoping it will be better. I’m sure it will be.

DTB Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 Had a day off playing due to pain/spending time with my family and trying to take less pain killers, went back to bass for an hour this evening and pretty much nailed that George Benson track I was struggling with. I guess a break can be a good thing. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
