Smiths, I could pull off Johnny Marr. Wait. That came out all wrong.

Me and Frank ( the amazing product of my loins) could do the music, but who could do Morrissey's voice?

The Damned I do every weekend. I love their songs but I need a Challenge. :D

But I'm not a shredder - please don't suggest anything that requires great guitar chops. :D

Unless you wanted to contribute, JDOD? :)

LOL, I could attempt a Morrisey. Some of the guitar work in Smiths can be pretty tricky mind - Marr was actually a fucking good guitarist - he covered up how technical some of it was by actually dressing it up in melody. A more rocky version of Mandinka would be cool.

What about something really obscure like Gaye Bykers on Acid?

Obviously I would be happy to play some stuff for you if there's any guitar parts you're stumped on.

Yeah, I'd love to hear you take on See No Evil Bubba - those twin guitar leads would be right up your street. You could see it as a warm up, before you took on the real challenge of Marquee Moon itself :D

The only Smiths song I've really mastered is This Charming Man. It's taken me bloody years. :D

Gaye bikers.... there's a blast from the past. I saw them at Finsbury park supporting Siouxsie and the Banshees and The Fall. They were never really my cuppa char. :D I can manage basic rock leads - my style tends more towards alternative rock - but widdly-widdly stuff is pretty much beyond me!

I'll re-listen to Mandinka and give it some thought. :)

I started structuring myself some drums loops for Mandinka a few weeks ago (it was after Sinead had that melt-down and we were chatting about her on here). I think it was you that mentioned that Mandinka was a fucking tune! I didn't actually record anything meaningful, but I just worked the track, got a feel for what I wanted to do and then parked it.

I'm pretty good with the widdlies provided its only fast alternate picking with a bit of string skipping and legato. When it gets into tapping or sweeping I struggle. I can tap if I practice a particular piece, but I can't chuck it into my playing randomly and I've never written a piece with a tap in it!

This Charming Man is pretty hard isn't it?

I can't even think what a Bykers song goes like in my head at the moment - not listened to them for years. I got into all that stuff 'cos my sister lived in London throughout the post-punk/goth thing in the early to mid 80s. I still have loads of Alien Sex Fiend vinyl floating around the house.
