I was thinking of joining in and doing the same list but I might lose interest if I don't pick my own songs so I scratched that idea 😛

Here's my list of songs I'm wanting to learn to play/sing:

  • Ben Harper — Show me a little shame (singing)
  • Marc Cohn — Walking in Memphis (singing)
  • Arno Carstens — Another Universe (singing)
  • GnR — Sweet Child (solo)
  • Queen — I want it all (solo)

I had a bigger list somewhere but I have no idea where that list is. Anyway, if I learn the rhythm guitar + singing for all the "singing" songs above, and the rhythm + solo (and maybe singing as a guitar melody) for the "solo" songs above, that'd be awesome.

Also, challenging! (Challenging as heck!)

NorioDS I’m adding to my list:

  • Scorpions - No one like you (vocal melody on guitar and solo 🤤)

    Now I just have to figure out when to start learning these 😐

    Mornings worked well for me in the past but they’re pretty busy now and it’s cold 🥶😝

    So my guitar cover isn't ready yet but since it's the last day of the month I thought I'd share what I've been working on in my singing lessons... I mean... singing Mozart counts as doing a cover right? 😛

    Anyway, I've still got a long way to go but it's coming along. Oh... and no, I don't expect anyone to listen to the whole thing.
    Here's Norio's new fangled mp3 thingie...

    And here is Sound Cloud

    RCVN Thanks man.
    You've put together a great cover here. Guitar is spot on and vocals suit you very nicely.
    Midi elements... are midi. 😛 Nicely done.

      Yeti thanks man.

      I agree.. midi is midi and I needed something to fill the sound... Could've put more thought in it

          RCVN I suppose it depends what you're after. You're looking at expanding your guitar skills and repertoire and using these recordings as a vehicle. So in my book midi does the job just fine (my recording has midi piano).

            Great covers guys!

            @Yeti Awesome vocals. Very impressive cover.
            @RCVN What a great track? Had to look up the original, but you've done it justice.

            Really enjoyed those.

            Yeti That's true...

            I do have access to a violin bow... could done some of that guitar violin playing xD

                Now for the next installment.

                I need to learn how to program drums properly.. It's always the thing that keep me from wanting to record xD

                So for this month I'll try and leave my comfort zone by doing a song with a proper drum track. Still deciding on what though.

                  Hi Everyone,

                  I've decide to cover Blue Eyes - Springbok Nude Girls.
                  Can anyone help with the guitar part?

                  I've been trying to get a good/similar distortion sound via plugins but it just doesn't seem right.

                  Hey RCVN.

                  What sort of help you looking at? Playing or the the distortion? What plugins are you using? I dont know how to play the song but i could try learn it.

                  For the distortion.. it sounds more like a mildly driven overdrive. Something vox/ marshall'ish with a bit of gain. I think Theo liked tele's.. so likely a single coil bridge as well which also takes the edge off the drive sound
