What song are you learning?

Various Postmortem Jukebox type songs. No point learning the originals as the covers are usually different chords. Am6 instead of Dm, really? 🙄

 

 

More of the same. I'm learning them on the upright. Damn but those guys are good!

We're doing it with just vox, bass, guitar, and reduced drum kit, so don't have the orchestration which means we have to do our own versions. I'm trying to keep things as simple as possible so long as they sound good, so my walking bass lines are mostly arpeggios or chromatic.

They didn’t take much learning, but the two new ones in the set for one of the bands I’m in are Red Light Spells Danger and You Should Be Dancing.

Sounds pretty boring, but the band are a ten piece with brass and percussion and they both sound flippin’ ace.

Gigging them tomorrow.

I loved doing you should be dancing, and it went down a storm as we segued into Does your mother know when it gets to the instrumental part, but can't do that anymore as our keyboard player left, and it sounds a bit empty with a bass and a guitar!

I like that song too. I may well suggest that. Cool idea. Thanks 👍
