I've been teaching myself the main melodic riff to "She Will" by Savages, which is great because it's basically just a minor scale

think i'll try to learn 'freight train', though i suspect i'll give up in frustration and self-loathing.

Lately when I've been really drunk I'll play like a stoner rock version of the Law And Order theme.

my old band covered hangin' on the telephone (nerves version), we used to have a live recording of new songs on our websitebut that site doesn't exist anymore ,the first was an analysis of one of my own songs. I love this kind of thing, but it takes a lot of effort to write and I have no idea if anybody else is interested or understands what I'm going on about, so feedback is welcome.

Admittedly pretty simple but "That's Just the Way It Is" by Dead Moon. Now I just need to figure out the lyrics.
I covered "Off You" by the Breeders when I played last month.

I have been learning to play "don't talk" by the beach boys on the piano lately. Pure bliss. I could play it forever !
