CIP songs

YoYo

For our next CIP, we'll be playing for the 'silver generations' ;-]
Therefore, we have to pick songs that they might know (old songs)
just last week, I went for a CIP at an old folks home at simei. We were supposed to befriend the oldies there. Coz I got no better topics, I started talking about music, and then I found out some of the oldies' favourite music!!

Basically, they like all those chinese old love songs, those karaoke type ones
Then for english songs, they might like bands like the beatles, rolling stones, or artists like Elvis Presley. So we gotta perform songs from these kinda artists to them if we want to make some sense there....

So after some browsing around in Youtube, and after some searches like ' best oldies songs of the 60s' using Google, I've found some songs that we can perform. They might be old, but they are nice!!!

Yesterday- The beatles
This song is a must know. A classic that will not be forgotten

Note that u can use 3 guitars playing this: one for the lead( playing the melody), one play chords, one play bass ( I like the bass!!!)


Hey Jude - The Beatles
Nice lah!


The Police - Every Breath You Take
a realli nice song with interesting bass line. This song is the youngest among all previous songs (1983), but I still put it here coz it's so nice!!


Frank Sinatra - Fly Me to the Moon

okay

Actually all these songs can be played using 3 guitars(or more). You just need to decide who play what( for example, pick one player be lead, one be rythm, one be bass) so tht u can focus on playing ur own parts. The problem might be to figure out the parts if u can't find the tab online.

If tht happen, pls contact someone who can n willing to help. U can come to me too n I will help as much as I can.

practice practice

Yo TJ performers... 2 more weeks to practice... preserve...
now with ur niibori guitars at home, u can focus on perfecting those parts tht u couldn't master yet. Use metronome to make sure tht u play in correct timing. Link to online metronome can be found under ' links ' .

Now, i'll show u both songs, just so tht u all can feel the mood of the songs...

Ballade

Words tht came to mind : 'Fatherly love'?(coz Paul de Senneville composed the song as a tribute to his newborn daughter Adeline)

Third man theme

Words tht came to mind : fun? lazy? old cartoon? clowns jumping around?

MUST HEAR!!

First, MUSE's new live performance album, the HAARP live from Wembley stadium. I just bought the DVD yesterday and it was awesome!! This is one of the track, named ' new born'. If u want more, go buy the original DVD, it won't disappoint!!!


Second,Charice Pempengco, a great singer from Philippines. This one I know from Danny when we chat. She's so young yet her voice is so powerfull. Crazy one ah... Here's she singing ' You'll never walk alone' for you all Liverpool fans ( I'm not but the song is nice anyway...)
