Hmmm, 8 songs to learn.
I haven’t had to learn someone else’s songs for quite some time, in fact the reason i started writing songs in the first place was because i was too lazy to learn someone else’s.
Looks like these songs are in standard tuning too, i’ve been playing in “drop D” tuning for years, so i’ll have to get my head around standard tuning again…but surely as a “professional musician” this should be very doable. Fingers crossed!
It’s interesting learning these songs, and noting that they are all so deceptively simple. The arrangements and instrumentation are the elements that make them seem kinda complex, but when you break them all down, they some how just make sense. Maybe it’s the fact that these songs are ingrained on my psyche like multiplication tables, ie you actually know this stuff already, you just have to think about it for a bit.
Looking forward to getting into proper rehearsals. Also very nervous about playing at these amazing venues, but excited none the less.
Few records echo down through the years like The White Album. The Beatles’ influential masterpiece is now a 40-year-old icon. To celebrate this rock’n’roll milestone, four of Oz rock’s finest – Chris Cheney of the Living End, Phil Jamieson of Grinspoon, Tim Rogers and Josh Pyke – will take to the stage this August in Melbourne, Brisbane and Sydney, Perth & Adelaide.
Coming after India, but before the split, The White Album was the sound of John, Paul, George and Ringo throwing everything they’d learned into their musical blender. This major work bursts with variety, creativity, experimentation, and the genius of The Beatles during one of their most intense, fertile, periods. It is a timeless album, yet very much of its time. Its 30 songs veer from the populist stomp of Back in the USSR and the mind-bending Happiness is a Warm Gun to the melodious sorrow of While My Guitar Gently Weeps, the ska pop fun of Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da, and the hard rock prototype Helter Skelter.
Don’t miss this unique opportunity to experience the music live as Australia’s finest musicians perform one of the greatest albums of all time!
