Moody Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 That list is awesome!! I say that partly because we do a fair few of them... Good luck with it, it looks a blast! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andyalfa Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Great lists both. Best of luck with Rythmn Stick though. Our band want to do it, but just watching the vid of it gives me a nosebleed. Luckily the (girl) singer would be hard pushed to cover Ian Dury so I may be off the hook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delberthot Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Quite a variety of different syles although if someone called and asked me to do Sit Down by James I would hang up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gary mac Posted February 18, 2009 Author Share Posted February 18, 2009 love Rythmn Stick, but so glad it's not on the list that I've got to learn. [quote]How long have you got[/quote] The gig isn't til october Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisba Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 We do the James song ( easy - E A B all the way through ) and Dakota, which currently seems to be our closing, give-everybody-in-the-band-a-namecheck number. Not hard either, but I need to work out a very short solo in the repeat-to-fade bit, for when the singer says "...and Chris on bass...". If you have any ideas...

gary mac Posted February 19, 2009 Author Share Posted February 19, 2009 Worked on the three james tracks last night. They all seemed very straight forward, infact Getting Away With It was a good lesson in disipline. It's just four chords repeated over and over and to make it more interesting I initially started putting in little runs etc. But fairly quickly realised it was better just playing the roots and nailing the timing. It's surprisingly difficult sometimes to keep things simple and not try to "improve" it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
