Initial ideas

  1. Id like to work on a solo music setlist so i can start gigging often by myself and getting grips with that side of my career. The songs i’ve been thinking of doing are.
  • Jeff Buckley – Lover you should’ve come over
  • Jeff Buckley – Mojo pin
  • Radio head – Creep
  • Nick drake – Pink moon
  • Jeff Buckley – Dream brother
  • Amy wine house – Back to black
  • The smiths – I know its over

2. Doing a TOOL song with Jospeh singing and doing bass and then me on guitar.

We chose this specific TOOL song as its one of the few TOOL songs that doesn’t have complex drum, vocal and bass parts. The main reason was for the vocal part as Joseph has a really good voice for a tool cover.

3. Learning ‘Mr.Crowley’ from Ozzy Osbourne. It contains a lot of Classical style solos and scales, also fast wide finger stretching solos and licks too. Learning this solo would benefit me a lot as it has advanced tapping techniques, harmonics and fast shredding that i cannot do currently.

4. Learning some basic music theory like Learning all the notes on the fretboard, major and minor scales, classical scales, pentatonic, and the circle of 5ths and basic chord names.

5. Learning ‘Eruption’ would really be beneficial for my guitar playing development. It has the same techniques as ‘Mr.Crowley’ but also has advanced tapping, tap harmonic and harmonic licks added too.
