Night of the Living Guitar 2 Rep Students

"The zombies were having fun..." and I think we did too!
Those of you who were able to make it out to Guitar 2 Rep's SPOOKTACULAR last night--thank you! (The rest of you REALLY missed out)

We played some Halloween favorites: Science Fiction Double Feature, Everyday is Halloween, and the Monster Mash. Along the way, we picked up some simple riffs and a new F#m chord. CHILLING!



So, those three tunes were just some fun novelty songs for the holiday and we probably won't revisit them this session unless you all demand it. On the other hand, the fourth tune is one I want to keep at, so we'll work at it again next week. It's Psycho Killer by Talking Heads. There are a lot of really incredible live versions of this tune on YouTube, each with its own unique variation. This is the radio edit version though, and the one that most closely resembles the chart we're working from. For this one, we have some choppy strumming to master, a simple but satisfying bass melody, a moveable F shape that can be slid up 2 frets to form a different G voicing, and a spruced-up four-finger version of the B minor chord. TERRIFYING! (not really though)
We'll break all of that down again next week for those of you who were all tied up last night. #MummyPun
