Gilliangirl Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 Billy Gillian and DaveRuby Dave and Gillian :- Subu' date=' believe it or not I'm STILL waiting for Dave Rawlings Machine CD to come in up here Have you seen the version of Billy on The Revelator DVD? It's beautiful. My friend Larry and I were going to do that song for a talent show here last year but his dad died just days before so we never got to play it. I do love Gil and Dave's version. I'm on a Poppy Family kick these days. You might need to be Canehdian to know those two. I'm working on: I Thought Of You Again (3 key changes in one song!) That's Where We Went Wrong Good Friends ( only 2 key changes in this one thankfully) I'm also still practicing that song by Kristen Mooney that I posted awhile back. The ex bought the CD so we're going to play it together, him doing lead bits, me playing rhythm and singing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jt Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 Fun thread! I've been working on my harp guitar arrangements. My 1917 Dyer harp guitar: Here are two, very rough recordings. In the first, I try to play the John Lennon's melody and Paul McCartney's bass line at the same time: In My Life In this one, I put in a walking bass line while playing the a basic blues, with variations: Walkin' Harp Guitar Blues So, still rough, but I fell like I'm making progress.

G McBride Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 I have been playing several by Tom Waits lately. I think maybe I am just playing to entertain myself more that practicing and learning a song as of late. Worked on a few Christmas songs prior to the holiday. This thread has inspired me to pick a couple of new songs and really learn them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tw2_usa Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 I've Got A Name (Croce) and Good Riddance (Green Day). Also I'm into my second dozen original tunes, having started writing songs just over a year ago. I'm still disappointed working on covers, always falling short of the original which always "plays along" in my head reminding me what an inferior musician I am. Occasionally I will luck into a personal rendition of something - "Let It Be" or "Tower Of Song", but any playing time I carve out goes toward creating my own music, my own personal bests that never fall short. Also working on technique, expanding my barre chords from A and E shape to include C, G, and D shaped barre chords. This is hard! And working on orchestration and arranging in GarageBand on the mac. Perhaps when my kids get older I will have more time for other people's music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This thread has inspired me to pick a couple of new songs and really learn them. I just finished "Ruby's Arms." "On The Nickle" is next...his key changes are going to prove interesting. Waits is definitely challenging at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Modac Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 I'm always working on originals. This week it is a stride piece, inspired by James P Johnson's "If I Could Be One Hour With You"....it's a fingerbuster, and will probably take a week or two to completely develop it.
