It's really odd how easy that song is to play when you are alone, sitting on the edge of your bed, yet so difficult when you try to play it as a group. Oddly enough, I recall Public Image once doing a cover of it, with Robert Plant relating a hilarious story regarding John Lyndon (Johnny Rotten) calling him up to get the words right.

agree, craig. we found the transitions tricky; even though there's really only 4 parts to it, to get it to flow smoothly from one to the next took a bit of work. so for a while, we just practised changing from section to section. then we sat down and wrote a chart for it, stuck it up on the wall, and just kept hammering through it. crikey it was a fun afternoon!!

Pil.... What the fug ..... Even The thought of jonny trying to hit Percy's range is mind boggling .


Yo ash hope you post the finished track with vocals etc........ You can't leave your audience hanging

My fav way to learn a cover isn't from the record .
The fun way is to get the acoustic out and thrash through the bits you remember between you all and that's it.
Chances are you have forgot the boring middle 8 or the change no one remembers .
If sad muso's can't remember a bit ,jo shmo in the boozer can't .
He just wants the catchy bit any way .

God I know some of you guys will get chest pains reading this , it's just another way of learning them .
I've done the less fun way to lol

My motto for covers " quick to the catchy bit "

That was pretty much the punchline to the story, with Plant doing a Johnny Rotten impression: "Oh let the sun shine down on my fauuushh..."

Just think of VH's "Pretty Woman" cover. It leaves out an entire section of the words and chords, yet succeeds nonetheless.

Yeah , you got me .maybe I didn't think of it first lol

Or just listen to these guys..... they have made a career out of great cover tunes, usually specializing in making really bad songs sound better, such as the case here....

[vandeleur]

I love them I have a couple of their cd's .
It's such a great idea for a band away from your band .

[chefcraig]

Damned it, that rockin' tune gave me a reason to stay alive yet another day. Thanks, FORD.
