Thought it might be fun to start a thread where we can talk about songs that we're working on playing. It'll give some of us beginners ideas of good songs to get our feet wet with.
Right now, I'm working on:
- 32 Flavors by Ani Difranco: Not only am I learning to play bass on this song, but I'm learning to sign it while I play. Sounds easy, right? Yep...not so much. Hubby's thought is that if I learn to sing early on while I'm playing it'll make it that much easier for me down the road. I can play this fine; it's remembering the lyrics that I have issues with.
- Landlocked Blues by Bright Eyes: LONG song, but very fun to play.
-Story of My Life by Social Distortion: This is a GREAT beginner song! Leaving out all of the fancy improvisation stuff, it's GCD...the good 'ol 1-3-5 "L".
- London Calling by The Clash: My first time playing this was a disaster...all that moving around the neck and slides. Once I got the hang of it, though...how FUN! Working on getting nice clean slide sounds.
- White Man in Hammersmith Palais by The Clash: Just starting working on this song on Friday.
So, what are you working on?
