RM> Our group signature pieces were Wild Thing and House of the Rising Sun..
RM> I can play House.. on the piano as well.

NI>That's cool.  I still have never played music in a band.  I've always thought
  >at could be fun though.  And one song I can basically play but want to learn
  >play it better/properly is Sultans Of Swing by Dire Straits.

Wow.. start at the top and work your way down..    B)

I love that song but there's a bit of a problem with it.
It's not played on a connventional guitar, it's played using
a bar and multiple finger picks, like playing a Steel guitar
but they use one that looks more like a 'normal' guitar.
I don't know how close one could come to playing that well on
a conventional guitar.

There is Some conventional guitar in it but the really fancy
sounding stuff is as above.. But one could pluck out the main
tune on a standard guitar..

As for playing in a band.. Lots of fun and the girls are usually
impressed.. until that time when you're playing live and lose your
place and mess it up...  (Been there..)    B(

Never a good thing when you are the lead guitar..

I should have practiced more..  What seems simple when practicing
at home gets a little trickier under the bright lights..  B)
