It's my dancing song [/quote] Sex On Fire too. Very simple but mix of sparse verse/chugging choruses is fun to play.

Sorry [/quote] I've always called it "Rocks" out of laziness but actually thought it was called "Get Your Rocks Off"! Ah well, i was right all along!

KennysFord Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 [quote name='Huge Hands' post='691358' date='Dec 22 2009, 11:16 AM']Erm, I take it this isn't the live version with Willie Weeks you're playing to? If you're trying to imitate some of his fills on there, I wouldn't say it's easy at all! [/quote] Pretty much. The studio version does'nt have quite the same effect on me but there's a cracking cover by Nora Noor on Spotify that's very good [color="#FF0000"]spotify:track:3s7UtQBAwzTtoYBEyGGxfg[/color]. I'm not note perfect on the live version but 90% there i'd say.The chord progression/feel is straight forward and for me it's a joy to play along to.

guzzibass Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 [quote name='Clarky' post='691349' date='Dec 22 2009, 10:58 AM']I always noodle "The Magnificant Seven" in warm-ups, actually very simple but sounds like it should be harder. Also "Rock the casbah" and "London Calling" are great and easy to play[/quote] I've always wanted to do 'I'm so bored with the USA' and 'Janie Jones', but the others in the band won't do Clash stuff!
