Proudest Monkey

Easiest Dave song to play, hardest to sing with. Anyone agree? Can anyone play and sing it at the same time?

exactly....this takes a lot of practice...i have the same trouble with typical situation...Anyone agree? Can anyone play and sing it at the same time? :wink:

I agree with both of yas. funny you mentioned it though, I've been practicing Proudest Monkey for the past few days, like singing it while playing and getting the lyrics down. its tricky but I think I'm making progress. It'd be a sweet song to cover if I can figure out the Tim solo that's in that song that's fuckin' sweet.

Typical Situation is another example but I think is easier than proudest monkey :o another tricky one is Loving Wings.
good, and you?

when the world ends. the lyrics are all over the place in the verse. another kinda tricky tune. yes, typical sit. is just about impossible for me. for some reason ive never tried proudest monkey, go figure.

I used to say the same thing about the same songs, it seemed like the melody was not completely structured over the chords....

but then after playing around with my own lyrics (especially on P.Monkey)...I started recognizing that there is a pattern to the lyrics and I now can find the balance between singing and strumming....

WtWE is tricky too but if you breakdown each verse into how many revolutions through the chord pattern he plays, you'll be amazed at what you can remember...

just keep practicing (I know, everyone says that) but it's what it takes!!
