What song are you learning?

[chanson]

I am just curious about what songs other TB'ers might be learning to play right now. I myself have been working on playing Master of Puppets (Metallica) and just finished learning Good Times, Bad Times (Led Zeppelin).

Not sure if this thread is in the right place, but I don't know where else it'd go.

My band is currently working on 3 covers to beef out a setlist:

Mr Bungle: Squeeze Me Macaroni
Opeth: Deliverance
Lamb of God: Remorse is for the Dead (?? not sure about the title of that one)

[troyus]

I'm recording a parody cover of Pretty Woman next weekend... don't know how many others here have it down but it took me a good twenty minutes to figure out due to this crazy bridge switcheroo thing in the second half of the track...

I'm trying to nail "Some Skunk Funk" by the Brecker Bros.

I just hooked up with a new band a few months ago and aside from cramming their existing material into my head (40+ tunes of varying degrees of fame and notoriety), we've recently learned and added to our set list:

"Raised on Robbery" - Joni Mitchell
"Danny's All-Star Joint" - Rickie Lee Jones
"If I Like It, I Just Do It" - Jamiroquai
"I Wish" - Stevie Wonder
"Stop, The Love You Save May Be Your Own" - Jackson 5
"Can I Change My Mind" - Tyrone Davis
"Love Like We Do" - Edie Brickell and New Bohemians
"That Train Don't Stop Here Anymore" - Los Lobos
"Jelly Jelly Blues" - The Allman Bros.
"Little By Little" - Susan Tedeschi
"Take Another Piece of my Heart" - Janis Joplin
"Take Me to the River" - Al Greene (but done WAY differently)


Coming soon:
"Funk 49" - The James Gang
"Gone, Daddy, Gone" - The Violent Femmes
"Oh, Well" - Fleetwood Mac
"The Kids are Alright" - The Who
"If You Want Me To Stay" - Sly & TFS
"Message of Love" - Pretenders


I really dig the diversity of songs and styles in this band! Learning all of these is a real pleasure and something I'd have liked to do even if I wasn't playing them with a band.

[rfclef]

Along with 3 new original pieces, I am working on 3 covers we are adding to fill out the set list:

Lose it All - Rush of Fools
Signature of Divine (Yahweh) - Need to Breathe
All the Stalls Stink (a parody of All the Small Things by Blink 182) - Apologetix

I learned the head ages ago, and it is very easy due to it's "hummable" quality, I really should get the rest of the song down!

At the moment though I'm working on "Rice With The Angels" by Jonas Hellborg.

[antiochbass]

- portrait of tracy (ongoing)
- windsor knots > darkroom
- control freak > copeland
- working on some originals too...

[Hoover]

I'm not learning any new material on bass other than whatever I have to play at gigs. But I've been playing a lot of guitar at home, and trying to focus on learning really simple songs but being able to play them with exacting technique and sincere passion...neither of which come easily to an impatient intellectual!

I knocked out Led Zeppelin's "The Rain Song" a few weeks ago, this week I started the traditional folk song "Oh Shenandoah", and next in the queue is the Bachrach/David tune "The Look Of Love".

It's feeling like a very adult project.

Our band's latest cover homework:

"Killer Clowns from Outer Space" - The Dickies
