TR!ΔNGL€ T€€TH Posted December 19, 2006 Report Share Posted December 19, 2006 In a similar vein to "what CD's have you bought recently" in the music discussion forum, I was wondering if what songs people might be trying to learn at the moment?Currently I'm having a go at "As is" by Ani DiFranco and "Allison" by the Pixies.

Sam 45 Posted December 20, 2006 Report Share Posted December 20, 2006 I'm not getting much enjoyment out of other peoples songs at the moment. Slowly teaching myself some piano though, its an ace instrument. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Posted December 20, 2006 Report Share Posted December 20, 2006 I'm trying to learn We Wish You A Merry Christmas on the keyboard, and Yankee Doodle on the whistle at the moment. I generally don't play other people's songs when I practice guitar, prefer to spend my time writing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humey Whilem Posted December 20, 2006 Report Share Posted December 20, 2006 Lap steel guitar. Great instrument but completely different tuning (cegace) and different way of playing. Might as well have been a switch from guitar to piano... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Gold Posted December 20, 2006 Report Share Posted December 20, 2006 Not so much learning, but trying to remember the words to numerous Lyle Lovett songs.No doubt my old man'll show me a few nice runs around the yuletide fire though, so I'll spend the run up to New Year playing around with them.

HairyScaryMark Posted December 21, 2006 Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 Although learning songs is a vital part of being a musician it should not be the only part. A musician cannot make really great progress unless the specific skills which need to improved upon are practiced individually.Anyway, learnt 2 jazz standards recnetly for my leeds college of music audition. 'Here's that Rainy Day' and 'Afternoon in Paris'.--Mark-- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dayeth Posted December 21, 2006 Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 Spiritual Groove by Antoine Dufour. Probably the only thing that has got me really excited about playing guitar since I started learning Metallica 6 or 7 years ago. I am learning it on electric, but there's just one part I can't do, the variation of the intro riff played nearer the end.It's a fucking awesome piece though.
