What song are you learning right now?

[invisiman]

If you play more than one instrument, let us know what song you're laerning on those ones too (NOTE:This thread is not intended for bragging purposes, if you don't belive someone one is working on what song they say they are, that's just to bad )

Currently, I'm just finishing up Jaco's Portrait Of Tracy, and starting on Rush's YYZ(damn that song is hard!! )

On guitar, I've just been noodeling around, working on a variety of Megadeth songs.

bass: working through the sublime catalog, "ebin" is on the front burner right now.

guitar: cake "jesus wrote a blank"

[Matt Till]

I only learn a few riffs here and there on both instruments. I'm working on writing a song, since I'm a pretty bad guitarist... well, pretty bad with the music I want to play. Plus I'm trying to aquire some skills on the keys. I've recorded a few keyboardy tunes, but nothing too complex. The song I'm writing now is... Math Funk? Is that a genre :P Funk rock except it switches time signatures a few times. I'm getting pretty good at that, I often write odd time stuff and don't even know it.

My most recent that I can think of:

Guitar: Queens of The Stoneage - Better Living Through Chemistry
Bass: Eh, something Primus no doubt - Kalamazoo or To Defy The Laws of Tradition... it's been a while.

[Tenchu]

Stuck in the middle with you and Stairway to heaven

[Tyler Hole]

Waiting Room by Fugazi...not a hard song, but I keep messing it up :P I think I got it down now though.

[Matt Till]

Cool bassline Tyler, great bassist... isn't his name Joe Lally or something like that.

[superbassman2000]

right now i am not really working on a song, i am trying to get my double-thumbing a little faster.
i also am still playing with my new RC-20, trying to work out soloing over basslines that i make, like steve lawson (i'm not quite to that caliber yet!)

On bass I've been trying to give my plucking hand a workout and get my fretting hand coardinated so I've been learning Shadows Fall's newest album "The War Within."

On guitar I've been playing around learning 'Harvest' by Opeth.

[RyanHelms]

Don't laugh - a chart of "Winter Wonderland" that's latin with a swing B section.

I learned it I win.

[IvanMike]

a bunch of bto tunes.

[Adam Barkley]

Bass - The fills from Psycho Killer by the Talking Heads, Original, Odd-time signature, genre-crossing music. Dig the Groovey Metal with a latin feel in 7/4. Or ambient, two handed tapping with a Tech metal bent in 7/8

Git - One, Welcome Home (Sanitarium), Bron-Yr-Aur;

Keys - Working through my Beatles notation book

Drums - Bugging the hell out of the guys at a local shop by playing every week through their 1600 dollar Vdrum Kit.

Harmonica - Original, horrible sounding blues with zero soul.

[Tyler Hole]

proof of my learning...the main riff from Waiting Room (rest is like root notes)

Note: I am not responsible for any crying due to how horrible the playing is

Recently took a new gig with a semi-established band, (the core has been together for a while, but there are various new members)... We have a small show 11/6 and the tunes that I need the most work on;

Diggin' On James Brown - Tower Of Power
Watch Your Step - Cold Blood
Going Back To Miami - Blues Brothers

I really have to get the whole show down better, but these are needing the most work... Then, there's the other 80 or so tunes to run through

Hey, in my defense, before I started doing that I couldn't keep ONE beat for more than a few bars.

Now after about a month I have got the simple "4 on the floor" beat with fills down.

Basically I want to have the basics mastered before I drop the money on the Vdrum Kit; which has been price reduced because of the wear that I put on it learning.
