Anthem of the Day (Part 2)

White March #3
Pet Shop Boys - Please, 1986.

I generally try to not choose singles/hits, but I just like this song too much to not pick it.
I also love that it’s just the two of them onstage. Not like today where you see performers on TV shows – performing a song that is entirely electronic/programmed drums/keyboards – but onstage there’s 3 guitarists, a bassist, 2 additional vocalists, a grand piano, an oboist, and a harpsichordist doing god knows what.

Hope everyone has a great Friday and an even better weekend. Ya’ll are great.

I mostly been listening to Kendrick for the last five or six years, and Eminem, Mac Miller that’s really it as far as rap… The kanye documentary recently seriously reminded me how talented Kanye is and I had to go backwards and explore all His older albums. He is a living legend and his music is what defines him And his passion for producing music and putting out Good sounding music . Also putting so much work and caring about what he writes …If you have any other suggestions for a good rap please let me know? Or if anybody else in this community has anything to suggest relatable? Seriously Mostly been Kendrick for like five years…

Been trying to challenge Myself lately and play to all kinds of different music. I’ve been trying to play guitar to instrumentals recently. I really appreciate these music Topics. I really appreciate seeing so many artists that I forgot about, or hearing peoples input on music. I can listen to Miles Davis, and three seconds later listen to Mac Miller. I like alot of music I I hope Everybody has a good day :grinning::watermelon::zebra:

The best way to learn new styles and ideas, learn songs.

This was one thing I struggled with for a long time, I knew tons of scales, including modal and some exotic stuff but I had no idea how to use them, I met with a guitar teacher who was like well you have all the knowledge, here’s how you apply it, and had me learning songs, from all over the place, dream theater to Satch, to GNR to dragon force,

Yeah I definitely need to learn songs, and to me the guitar is a map and I know maybe 60% of it most of the time I’m guessing and jumping around till I figure it out. What you’re talking about would be getting to the next step for sure. Currently all I’m doing is playing guitar and a bunch of other instruments every single day, Street performing for everything, and just mainly trying to stay sober more than anything. But it’s cool when you put the drink down how much the motivation comes back especially with discipline

And I mean learning covers would be a challenge But would better help me understand the guitar even more. I’ve been listening to music and playing guitar for so long it’s really the only thing that makes sense. But I’ve just been using loop Pedals and Writing songs for a few years. But I have to start trying new stuff. I’m definitely like breaking through with the guitar if that makes sense

I don’t know how far I can get with my songs. I need to learn other peoples songs. Stuff that people recognize.

Lovely.
The Black Crowes cover was one of my go-tos for karaoke. Haven’t attempted sober karaoke.

Playing other peoples music can help pay the bills but help you be inspired and create your own style

Your right the guitar fretboard is a map, there’s a really good book out there called fretboard theory by Desi Serna that helps with tying everything together I’m sure you can get it on Amazon,
