Had a bit of an afi kick this weekend:

Beautiful Thieves -->4/4

That is a really great song! That was a personal pleasure song I learned a bit ago...

I'm having to forego the "learn cool songs because I like them" in favor of "learn a bunch of songs because I'm in two working bands now". So, I'm learning:

Proud Mary-Tina Turner version
Hold On-Alabama Shakes
Better Dig Two-The Band Perry
Kickstart My Heart-Motley Crue
Round And Round-Ratt
Nothing But A Good Time-Poison
Oh Love-Green Day
Voices Carry-Til Tuesday
You Oughta Know-Alanis Morrisette
Man In The Mirror-Michael Jackson(Aiza Seguerra version)

Fortunately, nothing on that list is ridiculously hard. Mainly, it's just getting timing and feel right.

When I do get some time, I'm going to dive into:

After Midnight-Eric Clapton(The Nathan East version)
Waterfalls-TLC
Busy Bee-Ugly Kid Joe
Rio-Duran Duran

[msaone]

YYZ. Love Geddy, hate Geddy.

 

[lkbass22]

Little House by Linda Oh. It's a tricky tune with some meter changes but has a great melody and a killer bass solo which I'm transcribing.

 

[LukeMan970]

Astral Body - Between the Buried and Me
Goliath - Mars Volta

Just recently started listening to Between the Buried and Me and Dan Briggs has some mean lines in there

Just finished working on Closest Thing to Heaven by Tears For Fears (nice slides a la Curt Smith). Going to try You Wear It Well by Rod Stewart this weekend.

Always loved 'You Wear It Well' and I worked it out a few years ago but have forgotten it now. Not sure why that tune resonates so much with me. Lost opportunities. Lost youth. I don't know.

Pedro - You Wear It Well is one of those songs that I just suddenly noticed one day had a kickass bass line. Had GREAT fun learning it last night - drove my family nuts! Today, I turned my attention to New World Man (Rush). Now I need an ice pack for my hand!

 

[Nagchampa]

Free Will

 

[R&B]

Stop! In the Name of Love
In the Midnight Hour
Signed, Sealed, Delivered
Sunny
Come and Get Your Love
The Walk (Mayer Hawthorne)

I have full transcriptions for the first 3, found a tab for Sunny, and have only ears and my instructor's ears for the last two.

Gotta start somewhere!

 

[Soonerbldr]

Short Skirt Long Jacket - Cake

Hey it is my second song, I am still learning but it has a cool riff.

 

[MazingerZ]

am learning london calling as of the moment. Tried "More than a Feeling" but still cannot do it properly.

 

[MrLenny1]

Tenn Town- J. Pastorious
Red Barchetta - RUSH

 

[4OnTheFloor]

Lucy in the Scky With Diamonds - Beatles
He's Gone - Grateful Dead
Easy ones this time

 

[amoodymule]

Tripping Billies
Two Step
Seek Up
...yeah, our band should be a DMB tribute if I get these down, we alternate about 7 other Dave songs, 12 originals and other easy cover songs. These 3 are gunna be a bit of study for me, not my style for sure

 

[rtav]

"Into the Mouth of Madness" - Spock's Beard, and "Tinseltown Rebellion" - Frank Zappa
