I just got back into playing Mayer's In Your Atmosphere. I naturally was able to play it again, but the hardest part was singing over it. Just a bit of a timing thing for me that i haven't quite nailed yet.

It's funny how these things work out. I remember thinking when I first heard Neon, "Wow...even if I do somehow learn how to play this, I'll never be able to sing over it". But when I finally did learn the technique the singing was easy peasy. Then I heard something that 'sounds' simple, such as In Your Atmosphere...and I can't sing over it for shit. Call me Steve

Incase you never heard of him here is the video for the song. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aiuUjiRitnw

I thought it was an easy song to sing over, but certain syncopated rhythms give me fits on other songs. For instance, Salivas "Your Disease". It's an easy riff but I fuck up the vocals 8-10 times. As far as hardest stuff I'm working on, which will probably be a lifetime is the AGT Lenny/Man on the Side combo... and Buckethead's "Soothsayer"...

That song is mainly 2 chords most of the time...I think 6 chords total. Very easy to learn the chords, but to add filler and of course add lots of soul into the playing, it can be a LOT more than it seems. Kinda like "Gravity"--same concept--very simple chords, but it's the rest that you put into it, you know...it's the the 'feel' in your playing.

Probably not exactly how it was worded, but you get the point--sometimes less is more!

It took me a while to learn that. I used to only play the most difficult songs I could think of. One day I realized that I had trouble making simpler things sound perfect so I went back to basics.
