Rhythm Bastard Tour April '09

Two Open Mics this week:

Tabler Cafe
Wednesday April 15th
8:00 PM-10:30 PM

SAC Auditorium
Thursday April 16th
7:00 PM-8:30 PM

The nights run on for longer, but since I have other things to attend to, I need to leave early.

Workin' on my set list, with TWO original songs premiering. Wednesday I already have planned out, but Thursday, since it's hosted by the Inter Varstiy Christian Fellowship, I'll make a tweek or two.

I'll start next Monday fresh with a Tier 5 song.

White Hole Moon

THIS IS SANS SOLO. ANYONE OUT THERE WHO CAN- sorry- can provide a decent tutorial to do it I'd be grateful.

BLACK HOLE SUN

Now, in my advetures of copping out, here's what's played underneath the solo, or the RHYTHM section (in Drop D tuning):

A---3-2-0-2h3---------
D---------------5-4-3--

Repeat until the barely coherent screeching stops.

Other than that, simple song (from here):
e*----------12---------------------10------------13------------------------12----
B*------12------12----12-------11------------13------13----13----------12------
G*--12-------------12------12------------10-------------10------10/12----------

e*---------11---------------------10--------------------12----------10-----------11--
B*-----11------11----11-------10------10----10-----12----------12------------13---
G*-12-------------12------12-------------12------12-------12-10-------10-13-------


SETLIST UPDATED

Damn Welfare Queens

This title will so give me google hits from hardcore conservatives. Maybe they can beat out the people looking for the Guitar Hero Arcade Setlist.

GIMME SHELTER

All right, I gotta come clean on this: I can't for the life of me ind an accurate tab for the second half of the first solo, and the entire second solo. NOT TO WORRY! Only maybe 5 notes from the pentonic scale:

E-------------------------9--12--
B--------------9---12------------
G-------9-11---------------------
D-9-11---------------------------

Blues inspired piece like these have fun solos. I'll tab it out eventually. BUT THAT WASN'T THE HARDEST PART!!!

The hardest part is the intro.
Part 1
Part 2

It's tricky, and way too much to explain here. But overall it's a very fun song to improvise with.

SETLIST UPDATED

Wow...

It's like, the less I update, the more hits I seem to get.

Anyway, the reason I haven't updated as much recently is because I'm actually doing a bit of songwriting right now. Open Mic Night is April 15th, and I'm working toward that. "Gimme Shelter" is not too far off, I might have it for tomorrow.

Rock Boy Experiment

As of now, I've decided to change the tone of the RBExperiment.

Instead of covering Rock Band songs, and being about angry mean, hard music, I've turned over a new leaf. Instead of covering Rock Band and Guitar Hero songs, I'm doing Disney label music, with Top 40 songs.

Here's my setlist so far:
"A Little Bit Longer" by The Jonas Brothers
"Rockstar" by Nickelback
"Bye Bye Ball" by Hanna Montana

That's just for starters. I'll be adding some awesome Top 40 artists too like Riahanna, Lady Gaga, and even "Hey There Delialah" by The Plain White Ts!

And I have a Facebook page n-

Wait, April Fools was yesterday? DAMN IT!!

Go ahead, put a song suggestion in the comments if you want me to do a Top 40 cover.
