Performance ideas

[tilldagmar]

Alright, so i was approached the other day and asked if i wanted to play at the end of the school year party deal (we call it "picnic day"). They set aside time for everyone to come and watch the "musicians" from our school play. After I said yes, I realized "What am I going to play?" So here I am on the Steve Smyth forum asking all you fellow metalheads a question. Any song ideas for me to play? or maybe excirpts from various songs thrown together (all of the same key of course), or possibly writing a song ( thinking along the lines of G harmonic Major, D Harmonic Major...etc,etc). Oh yeah this will be played on the guitar, I can't vary easily play the piano and guitar at the same time haha. So, please, If you could throw some ideas out there for me to process i would greatly appreciate it, thank you.

Write an ode to the rope on the flagpole, sing it out of key, and demand royalties in advance for all of the times when your audience will think of your song (assume three times per day per person and an average life span of 80 years, estimating losses from the copyright infringement - you will copyright it, won't you? - to be in the ballpark of $25,000 per instance of song-caught-in-head) so you never have to work a day of your life.

arise-blackened-desperatecry-masterofpupptes-thissacrament medley0guitar solo, then the anthem, thenanother guitar wiggly and close it with either fur elise or some shred like vivaldi's four seasons. Also playing without a drummer will get boring for the audience fast. do you have a 7stirng?

 

[Will Bozarth]

whoever said he'd be on an electric? if he's playing on acoustic, Beatles songs go over really well

 

[flying_whale]

also some flamenco shit that is not that hardcore and played with a pick (see strunz and farah) might work fairly well

 

[Will Bozarth]

nothing wrong with picked flamenco

Eruption

Eruption

as lars urlich would say: it is stock, plus erruption ripps off a classical piece big time (can't remember the name of the piece exactly)

 

[Will Bozarth]

as lars ulrich would say "lolz this is like um. uh... like... uh... my uh.... drums... are um... tuned... and stuff."

 

[JBroll]

Like, um, yeah, and I totally feel that playing Eruption would... um... you know, 'date' the performance to this sort of...
