 Topic: what is ypur favorite song to play,...
Posted: July 25 2005 at 07:36 |
We're currently working on The JIMI HENDRIX EXPERIENCE's "3rd stone from the sun" with my friends.
We have a basic drums-bass-guitar trio with old 60's equipment and sound. We don't even do singing, so when we thought about possible coversongs, it should be:
- from timeperiod of late 60's to early 70's
- guitar - bass - drums trio
- instrumental
- partly or completely transcribed to tablatures
Other candidates were "Undertune" by The WHO, or some FRANK ZAPPA tunes transcribed to our trio.
"Redunzl"? 
If anyone spots any tune that fits my description, please let me know!

Hmmm....recently:
Sound of Muzak - Porcupine Tree
Paradigm Shift - Liquid Tension Experiment
Red - King Crimson
A Change of Seasons - Dream Theater
Including old Megadeth, Metallica and a handful of Tool songs. Probably a few others that I've forgotten about. The boys in the band and I will knock around these and some others from time to time. For the technically harder tunes it usually becomes a contest to see how far we can get before someone forgets or flubs. Good times!

I play bass guitar (3 years now)
Supper's Ready is quite entertaining on bass, though the apocalypse section is a bitch
The Baba Yaga stuff by ELP
The Truth Will Set You Free by The Flower Kings (Jonas Reingold is a God amongst men)
Thoughts pt. 1 by SB
LTIA pt. II
Elephant talk
The Knife is a great agressive song for bass playing
Roundabout
A Change of Seasons (the crimson sunrise)

PH's A Whiter Shade Of Pale & PF's Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun
Although I've always tended not to enjoy playing too many covers ... I think I've done mainly Jon Lord and Ray Manzarek songs (with Purple and the Doors respectively of course)
keyboard for 20 years, guitar for 11, bass for the last 4 ...

Even though I studied piano for more than 5 years, never was very good, so my favorite song top play is the easiest, Come Sail Away by STYX.
Now as a drummer I love to play everything but my favorite is One for the Vine even when it's a very hard song to follow, Phil adds a lot of variations that defy logic.

I used to play Pictures Of A City and 21st Century Schizoid Man on my electric guitar. Now I'm practicing Fracture (the Moto Perpetuo section is really hard...)
I also play Mood For A Day (Yes), Lark's Tongues In Aspic (part 2) (KC), a lot of Harmonium songs (from l'Heptade)...

for guitar:
anything by Rush, specifically:
A Farewell to Kings (5/4 time is fun)
La Villa Strangiato (i think that's how it's spelled)
The Trees
2112 (yeah, all of it)
for drums:
almost anything by Zeppelin.
i'm trying to learn stuff from Selling England By the Pound, but having just started playing drums again after a year and a half hiatus, it's a bit hard.
for keyboard:
The Final Cut (album) by Pink Floyd
Currently transcribing "Dancing With the Moonlit Knight"

Funny... I'm also known for a killer medley. Daytripper combined with Roadrunner (essentially the exact same riff). And sometimes I mix it up with a Cygnus X-1/Hemispheres medley.
I'm a showoff, I know.
