Walking the Dog - Various

Up Around the Bend - CCR

Sultanas of Swing - Dire Straits

The Green Greengage of Home - Tom Jones

Ooh, sweet! 😍

Yes.* No.* Channeling your inner, petulant teenager into the music of your chosen genre, is a good way to go, just not this way. Happens to us all, do something else and come back to it. *You know this of course.

Blowin’ Free - Wishbone Ash

Fart - The Jam

Or…

I’ve used this method, a short, chopped off length will make it easier to handle, with less chance of a convex finish.

Heard this on the radio .

Yes, this does seem to be the go to method, perhaps it is harder than just superglue alone, it will certainly be easier to see.

Stand & Deliver - Adam & the Ants

Down in the Tube Station at Midnight - The Jam (again)

Ultimately, you need to make it your interpretation, rather than a slavish copy of PP’s line. One of my fave tunes to play is I’m Gonna Tear Your Playhouse Down (that pesky Pino again), there are some things that I just can’t do smoothly (the outro for instance), so it has to be an ez version. Vultures is another sneaky tune from that Mayer album.

It’s Pino, innit, it was never going to be straightforward; he’s a sneaky bugger. Good luck in your endeavour.

Marathon - Rush

Rite of Springer - Stravinsky

Me neither, as far as I can tell. Now I have an excuse for not amounting to anything.

Here's the track for Don't Give Up, no video Fretless in the choruses and outro.

I could post my Epiphones, but the tar and feather brigade will be out to get me I fear (not basses, 🤫).

Price is getting a bit more premium now, which is great for the charity, if it all goes through smoothly.

Dancing in the Moonlight - Lizzy

First up, thanks for your kind words, I had so much fun recording it and then making the video (at least my bits), it’s something I treasure. We followed it up with Don’t Give Up, but lockdown was lifted, everyone went back to normal and we never made a video. Yes, there are 4 ladies on the track. I’ve worked with 3 of them and know the other through the making of this track. All brilliant in their own right, but one of them makes my hair stand on end when she sings certain notes, so pure and the loveliest person, so easy to work with too. Funnily enough she’s the only one who isn’t a full time pro musician. Peter Gabriel is my favourite artist, So and Us being my faves, but it’s not all gold for sure (the last album release; meh).
