I'm actually just about to start studying Les Claypool. Anybody know a good place to start? I'm looking for a couple songs... not too hard, not too easy.

The first ones I learned were Southbound Pachyderm and American Life. Give those a try. |

I don't understand Study Les but if you want some good tunes in the Claypool style check out Sailing the Seas of Cheese or Frizzle Fry.
Edit easy song: Those Damn Blue Collared Tweakers

You only make your first album once.

EDIT: (24 hours later) To Defy the Laws of Tradition! Right?
