Go for CRASH!!! This is probably one of the tougher ones when you are starting out...

You want a challenge, try jimi thing. Singing with that rhythm is a bitch. You want a real challenge, try the stone. If you want become a real man or woman, try so much to say. Whoooo doggy! If it gets too hard, try deed is done. LOL!!!
Forget about the reasons and the treasons we are seeking
Forget about the notion that our emotions can be swept away, kept at bay
Forget about being guilty, we are innocent instead
For soon we will all find our lives swept away

Oddly enough, for me, SMTS, Trippin Billies, WWYS, Stone and songs like that just come really easily to me as far as singing over. I think it might just be cause the rhythms for playing are so far removed from the hrythms for singing thats its just two totally different things and thats how I approach it. The ones that I can't seem to get are the ones like Fool To Think that have pauses and stuff like that in there.
Peace,
Chris
