FWIW I went through it last night, after not not playing it for a while, and was actually getting stuck on a couple of bits. So at the moment not one I can rely on muscle memory for.
the Josh Fossgreen transcription was useful to me too, but I find it easier to play all that section in one position.
So, no moving around the neck, a four fret span, one finger per fret.
I'm not sure what music I would normally play. My band does covers from the 50's to now, so most styles are covered. In the past I've played other styles. I don't think I have a 'normal'.
to me that sounds as if it would be perfectly 'in place' with the early to mid 80's synth bands.
Sex Dwarf - Soft Cell, was the first thing that came to mind.
To clarify: ELP would have been out of place in the hit parades of the 50's; Iron Maiden would have been out of place in the 60's hit parades. But take this weeks top 10. Is there anything there that would be out of place in a top ten in 1999?
If the point was put forward, that there has not been anything in the hit parade since the 90's, that would not have been out of place in the 90's, would you agree?
Has there been any 'new' music?
Mainly I've been listening to all the Christmas songs that have been crow-barred into the set over the last week or so, plus New Years Day - U2, which we are going to play after 12am at the New Years Eve gig.
