Twincam Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 [quote name='ezbass' timestamp='1413039119' post='2574433'] I've been relearning the Four Tops: Same Old Song; I Can't Help Myself; I'll Be There and Paul Young's version of a Tear Your Playhouse Down. These sound great on the Rob Allen. [/quote] I sang and played I can't help myself to a gf she dumped me not long after haha (true story ) Anyhow just been learning Little Green Bag (george baker selection). A really cool song to learn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTUK Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Taking it to the Streets Living for the City Proud Mary She's too good for me I wish None of these are difficult and are well know,...and well done, but I want to hear how the band can treat them so I'm looking for different spins or grooves... This rehearsal is all about what people can bring to the party apart from a standard take.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTUK Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 (edited) [quote name='gary mac' timestamp='1430205038' post='2758793'] What you got planned for the Doobies tune then JTUK? [/quote] Well... good question... I want the keys to get the gospel piano, and the vox to do Michael MacD... I think I'd go for MMd solo versions like his soundstage 2003 take, or his xmas party gig..where the vox were shared between him and the girl. Obviously wont be able to do the choir parts, and it is quite a simple song so I'll want a spikey non polite version... Might have to make room for a guest sax blower as well... So, altho I mentioned the Doobies... I'll want more Michael MacD on it .. Was thinking of bringing in 'Take me in your arms' as per Tom Johnston as well, and as long as the band can deliver it powerfully and live, I'll settle for that. Basically, that will be the brief... attack the songs, give it some beans and get the dynamics and sound/production right and let the players do what they can do... I'll let you know if I'm pleased with the way it went... I'll probably record it as I'm late getting this thing out there for the summer... and I need stuff to give to bookers..

I guess I should get round to some hosting space for audio and video as I can see the need but this is a new venture so website ect is not sorted yet ..

Der JD Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Yesterday I just started learning Havona by Weather Report. Tough song, but I've found that I only progress if I pick things to learn that I find really challenging. I only made it a few measures in. It's going to take a long time to nail that fast arpeggio lick up to speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyTravis Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Wrapped Up by Olly Murs. Nice and simple funky thing. Means our singers get to sing it, and I get to play something fairly handy with room to add if needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Dare Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Love Her Madly an Riders on the Storm - Doors. Trying to play the bass parts and sing them for my covers band. Tricky to combine the timings properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTUK Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Wasn't that knocked out by the rehearsal/audition last night but since everything was from scratch, the basic quality was there and playback today put it in another light. Parts and generally band jizz will come, evolve and work itself out but the project will have legs, I think .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
