Either Brick House or the Seinfeld theme. And yes--I know it's a keyboard on the recording. |

I've been going with Heart's Straight On, really groovy. And the walking part from Hey Joe. |

| | | | Definitely the instrumental section from Sir Duke by Stevie Wonder. I play that thing at least a dozen times a day... |

| | | | Nowdays, usually Coffee Shop my RHCP or Give it Away. Just whatever I'm working on learning really. The past few days it's been Day of the Baphomets by The Mars Volta. |

| | | | "YYZ" by Rush... until I realize that I need to warm up properly if I want to save what's left of the working tendons in my left wrist.
my parents [who, more or less, don't know who Rush is] have heard me practice and jam out parts of this song so many times over the past year that, now, whenever I play the riffs, my Mom just starts "sing-humming" some random vocal melody* in the background that she thinks is part of the song (*which sounds more out-of-tune than a 200-year old piano, but that's a side-point) because she still has no idea that YYZ is an instrumental lol. She's not a singer or musician, so I try not to tease her too bad. I told her I'm happy enough that hearing me practice it all the time got her and my Dad to actually like Rush. 2 more fans... "You're welcome, Geddy." haha |
