You have an unknown brain condition-you are a musician-you can play ONE SONG (any song) perfectly-what song would it be?
Mine: Mick Box's Guitar on Magicians Birthday (U.Heep) or Steve Hackett's Guitar on Everday.

| Hmm, tough one. Maybe Steve Howe on "To be over", or Keith Emerson on "Take a pebble" (live version from Welcome back my friends...). I love to sit down at a pub piano and bash that one out! |

This isn't fair to drummers... But I would say Close to the Edge. Finest song ever created. |

Hmm, good topic. If i were a: Guitarist: I'd love to be able to master Frippertronics, that or Roine Stolt's soloing on The Flower King's epic "Big Puzzle". Bassist: The lines from "Fracture" by King Crimson or the lines from "De Futura" by Magma....Or "The Fish". Drummer: Frank Zappa's "Don't You Ever Wash That Thing?" (drums and percussion simultaneously Keyboard/Related: The organist from Crazy World Of Arthur Brown is a bit good (all their first album as great playing), or to perfect "Tarkus". Flute: Nothing is better then a good flute solo! "Arborescene" by Ozric Tentacles, "I Talk To The Wind" by King Crimson or Jethro Tull's "Cross-Eyed Mary" are all great. |

Always had dreams I could play two songs.....very odd, but I have never tried to play either of them! Funeral for a friend - Elton John -the piano !! Dance on a volcano - Genesis - the guitar/taurus pedal parts Mike Rutherford plays.. |

Its gotta be the guitar part from La Villa, Exit...Stage Left version.
I figure if I could play that solo like that, chicks might dig me Not prog, but I always wanted to play slide well enough to pull off Led Zep's In My Time Of Dying. One song that I HAVE actually been working on for about 10 years now is DiMeola's Egyptian Danza. I've almost got it sounding recognizable now!  ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/Nipsey88/?chartstyle=myspace02" rel="nofollow">

Why are you asking me? How should I know? Anyway, as to the original question, I would be a multi-instrumentalist (keyboards, guitar, bass, drums and vocals - I'd let someone else play flute just to be generous) and be able to play Supper's Ready. Oh yeah!!!! ------------- I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you? |

If you like good flute, then you should listen to "Fairy Tales" by Mother Gong. It has lots of flute on it, with solos too, and the flute solo at the end of "The Pied Piper of Hamlin" is absolutely incredible. -------------  BaldJean and I; I am the one in blue. |
