What Song Are You Learning? (1 Viewer)

For those of you who play and instrument, what are you learning to play, or practising at the moment? And how are you progressing?

Me, for guitar:

Canon - Trace Bundy

Big fan of the classical version, so I thought I'd give his a go. Trying to sync up the left hand over the top, and the right hand taps.

I'm trying to transcribe Close to You by The Carpenters atm, if that counts...

Only about say a third of the way through though, it's harder than I thought.

can anyone suggest a good 'modern' song for me to learn to accompany someone singing? i think i might learn some billy joel. piano man maybs

'King of the World' from Songs For A New World. The piano line is awesome, and so are the vocals.

If the music link doesn't work, try and find a video which shows the piano part, not just the vocals. It's really good.

YouTube - Trace Bundy - Pachelbel's Canon

Canon is a good song to cover... maybe a little cliche though.

Oh definitely cliche. But I enjoy it, and its a great version, plus it will further my skills. Win, Win, Win.
