Yester-day, I thought I had learned all of the chords for "Remember You," but upon further review, I had a few of them wrong.  So I know the verses, but I'm stumped on a few chords in the chorus (and it doesn't help that the chorus goes pretty fast).

However, I also learned yester-day that "I Got My Mojo Working" is a simple 3-chord song - C, F, and G.  This should have been fairly obvious, as it includes Rod Argent's harmonica playing and most harmonica songs are in C.

I learned the chords for the Zombies' "Remember You" this afternoon.  I also listened to the soundtrack version from Bunny Lake is Missing.  That version is a key lower, which is interesting.

I felt bad that I'd just cropped out a portion of the Odessey and Oracle album art for my avatar.  So I gave it a go at copying it myself.  It turned out OK.

January's Cloak:

I had to do a bit of colour-correcting on this (that's what you get when your living room is yellow), but this is the twelve-string guitar I got last week.

 Part of the reason I wanted to get this is that this is the same type of guitar that Paul Atkinson had.

"Can't Nobody Love You"

Yester-day, I learned the chords to "Can't Nobody Love You" along with the riff at the end.  I had some audio problems, so I couldn't really record a version until now.  Apparently, I have to have my ceiling light turned off (since it's on a dimmer) and turn my wireless internet off.

Argent's "Like Honey"

My voice doesn't suit this at all, hence the lack of any vocals.  The remaining parts sound sort of bare without either vocals or percussion.  It doesn't help any that I don't have the electric piano part exactly right.

But it's more than I knew a few months ago.

I learned the middle part of Argent's "Like Honey" to-day, so now I know the whole song and should be able to record a rough cover version in the next few weeks.

"Hung up on a Dream"

I recorded this yester-day.  It's the Zombies' "Hung up on a Dream" with all of the guitar parts that I know (and the piano part at the end played on guitar).

I learned the introductory guitar part for Argent's "Like Honey" to-day.

I listened to the entirety of Into the Afterlife to-day, and I'm pretty sure I learned the whole bass part for "Telescope (Mr. Galileo)."  I think I've figured out the little bass riff in "She Loves the Way They Love Her" too, which is the only part of that I had to figure out before I learned the whole bass part.

To-night I learned the bass part for Argent's "I Am the Dance of Ages."
