So, I know it's not really a lot, but I've managed to build up a small repertoire of 5 hopefully well-known classics, with more to come. Sadly, the audience at the Open Jam nights are young people like myself, so chances are they won't know all the songs I can play. I'm trying to learn to sing them at the same time, but that's not going too well... Anyway, two of the songs should be easy enough to guess which ones are, if you know me just a little :) The rest are: "Last Child" off of Aerosmith's possibly best album ever (Rocks), "Satisfaction" by the Stones (thank you, Mike Olekshy for teaching that song!), and "La Grange" by ZZ TOP. It's a bit of a mix, really.

I'm thinking of adding one of the songs written by the Punk Rock band I played with one time and am still awaiting a response from, as well as a few more classics, such as The Doobie Brothers' "China Grove", The Black Crowes' "Hard to Handle" (big thanks to maggior and Radio Gap for introducing me to those great tunes!), Pink Floyd's "Another Brick In The Wall (Part 2)", Boston's "Peace Of Mind" which I'm already working on anyway, and maybe something from the 80's, like RATT's "Round And Round" or GNR's "Nightrain". I already have the Nightrain Intro Riff down, and Round And Round uses some of the same techniques for the Chorus Riff (that is, it uses Inversions and Double-stops). Kiss's "Rock'n'Roll All Night" could be fun to add as well!

I don't know when the venue will have their next Open Jam night, or if the songs I have a will have learned by then will go over very well with the audience, but like they said last time. Some music is better than no music, and they want something that's not half-done Metal covers. So my little "setlist" shouldn't be a problem. Until I know when it'll be, I'll just have to get my repertoire tighter and add just a few more tunes, and get them down well enough that I'm confident enough to take the leap of faith next time!
