[quote name='JTUK' post='1046910' date='Dec 3 2010, 10:41 PM']Not sure if you are a new band or not... but the idea is to make a song work with what you have.
You may find on certain songs the drum part is very difficult .. (for example )
which many semi pro drummers have not a hope in hell of getting to grips with in terms of feel etc etc ..
You then have to work as a unit/band to get the parts of the song you want to get across...in this case you have 3 chords or bass notess which should only really follow the accents of the gtr chords which is mirrored by the bass drum. The only place you want a frill is the second half of bar 2..but should not clash with the gtr.
If in doubt, leave it out..less is more, and just accent the chords, as many bands will over play a simple progression. Less means it has a chance to breathe and not clash.
But yes..if you can't make this work as a unit...you may as well give up... to put it bluntly, as it is all in the ears of the whole band and this is not an advanced song to try and get to grips with.
For sure....many bands butcher it and make it a over played din.[/quote]
Yes we are a new band, and I have only been playing for a short time, but when we play it live, it always goes down well,
I think we do get the feel of the song right, but I just wanted to learn the trickier bits to see whether it improves the song still further.
Personally, I don't like the song, but all the audiences love it, and that's what matters.
