This past weekend I began learning the Love and Rockets songs. I don't even know if we're doing it yet...but it is always nice to be prepared. There's 12 songs on the record and I cranked out about 6 of them. I don't anticipate anything hanging me up with the remaining 6. It is interesting how even something that is REALLY simple can take a while to figure out. Just getting the structure of a tune takes a few good listens. They are taking longer to figure out than I thought they might...but not too long. It IS reasurring that I'm able to do it by ear though. I have chords for about 75% of them...but no bass tab for any of them.
The Pixies really was an exercise in correcting tab. 90% of the songs had bass tab on the internet and it was just my job to figure out the rhythms (which you can't really show in tab) and correct the mistakes. I put lots of work in on them for sure...but it is a different kind of work than learning something totally by ear.
So I'm glad that I'm able to figure out the Love and Rockets songs...even if they are really easy.
