Just curious about what others might be working on or learning right now. I'm working on Seven Mary Three's Cumbersome.

Just finishing up Beer by Reel Big Fish and starting on Santeria by Sublime.
Well, after reading this post, me thinks I'm going to learn 3 new songs....Cumbersome, Beer, and Santeria!
I'm currently working on 3 odd time signature tunes by the Grateful Dead... Estimated Prophet which is in 7/8, Playing in the Band in 10/8, and The Eleven, which, strangely enough, is in 11/8.
The structure of the chord progressions are easy enough, but wrapping my head around the counting is a bit of a challenge.
Also, You Enjoy Myself by Phish which is in about 9 different time signatures...

I went to look up the song and ended up watching "Paul is Dead" conspiracy theories. They are quite entertaining, hahaha.
Im working out Sir Duke. The horn bass part is all a pentatonic scale so the notes are not to hard to figure out, but the order and rhythm is wearing me out!
Well lets see:
I was made to love her-Stevie
Thats what love will make you do-JGB version
Root Down-Rock Candy Funk Party
Sugaree-good ole grateful dead
rock n roll hoochie koo-rick derringer
kid charlemagne-steely dan
Showdown-ELO

I'm working on Bach Cello Suite #6, I'm still on the prelude which isn't very simple and you have to have a 4 strings 24th fret bass tuned in 5th to have every notes or a 6 strings.
I'm also rearranging some Final Fantasy music

+1 Sir Duke is pretty fun, I also dig I Wish. But my favorite Stevie bass line ever is I Was Made To Love Her. Mmm Mmm good. lol
I know it might be a little cliché, but I've always meant to learn Bach's cello suite #1. Just haven't gotten around to it yet. Someday....
Not really working on anything new at the moment (focused on music for my two current bands), but the last one I learned was Detroit by Marcus Miller.

Detroit is a deadly tune, I'm working l. Frankenstein at the moment, funk band is covering it and I think I have them convinced to go with Marcus's version haha
Besame Mucho. Good Morning Heartache. Baby Aint I Good To You. Besame Mucho is driving my nuts via our pianist. I recorded her last rehearsal hoping she'll play the tune the same way more than one time!
That's awesome, Marcus rules!
My 11-piece funk band currently has 5 hours worth of music (Tower of Power, Chicago, Earth Wind & Fire, Steely Dan, to name a few), but we're approaching "add more music" phase so we can diversify... our goal is to have different 3-4 hour sets for different venues/gigs, and I'm trying to convince them to add instrumental stuff since we have such a great horn section.
Detroit of course, stuff like Chameleon, even an instrumental version of Come Together that I led a while back (yep, you guessed it, based on Marcus' instrumental version. lol).
We'll see.
