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.
