Topic: New Song Conquests?
Hi all ...
Just wondering what songs everyone's been working on these days, aside of personal stuff. I always have a few "project songs" on the go, to improve technique, increase the repertoire, and just to keep things interesting. A couple that are "in process" for me right now are:
"Reelin' In the Years" (Steely Dan)
Love the opening riff, and have found the exact tone of it on the Gretsch after some experimentation. The note combinations are fun, and the original recording featured Jeff Baxter & Elliott Randall on guitar ... terrific musicians.
"Ramble On" (Led Zeppelin)
Trouble with this one is that I'm a bass singer, so trying to sing-a-long in Plant's vocal register is impossible. The guitar part isn't too hard, and I've got the foot tapping part down pretty good!
