muppy Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 (edited) this band has been touring with Cults on the late summer/fall 2022 US tour. Bambi and company are based out of Portland Oregon. Indie vibe. Bambi is married to the keyboard player. The 2nd clip showing her playing the same vintage blonde Gibson Ripper bass that my son toured with for years. Until it was destroyed during Hurricane sandy in Cults practice space in NYC.

DrW Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 (edited) My wife commented that the colors of Sean Lennon's outfit did not match well with the color of his guitar... Well, if this is the only problem - the rest is impressive. They play a King Crimson and a Pink Floyd cover, and those fit very well with their own songs.

DrW Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 (edited) Another entry: The House of the Rising Sun This is a very old song of unknown origin. The first recorded version was by Ashley and Foster in 1933 as "Rising Sun Blues". Woodie Guthrie recorded his version in 1941. Interestingly it is in 4/4, not in 3/4 as the Ashley and Foster version. What made the song famous: Eric Burdon and the Animals (in 3/4) The heavy/psychedelic version; Frijid Pink (their only hit ever - in 4/4) A newer heavy version - Muse (in 3/4) I am aware that there are numerous other covers, e.g. Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, even Dolly Parton. I do not think that any of those covers is very different from the examples shown here. Thus, I will conclude this chapter with...

DrW Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 Happy Thanksgiving to all of you! I actually got a CD today, by one of my favorite artists - Kristin Hersh. Hersh was, together with her stepsister Tanya Donelly, the founding member of the alternative/indie band "Throwing Muses" in the mid-1980s (remember "Counting Backwards"?). Since then, she has been turning out great music under three different aliases: continuing the alt/indie output as "Throwing Muses", quieter folk-like songs under her own name, and the power-rock trio 50 Foot Wave. 50 Foot Wave just released their second album, "Black Pearl". Here are two songs... (you have to crank up the volume to fully appreciate it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying simple is bad but it’s easy to copy Sorry, but you are missing the point here. The idea is to find songs that elicit very different interpretations - it does not matter how difficult it is to play the song. One reason I chose this example is because it is rare to have a song with two different time signatures (3/4 or 4/4) about equally distributed between the cover versions. By the way, I do not own any beginner guitar books (many years ago, I played piano and organ). However, I would guess that they all provide the 3/4 time signature of the "House of the Rising Sun".
