Also revising Stand by R.E.M which is so much fun to play and sing at the same time in a perverse way. I only learned recently that I play a much more complicated part in the two key changes than Peter Buck actually played.
We've decided to tweak Electric Dreams to be much more rocked up so I need to find something appropriate that's easy to sing over, as well as brush up the solo seeing as our drummer normally has at speed metal tempo by the time it comes along! And talking of fast tempos I also need to work out some escape licks for the solo of Fool For Your Lovin' when it inevitably goes the same way.

I sort of know about 5 of them, similar number are quite easy but after that I have to learn the song then how to play it. I’ve written up lyric chord sheets for everything which is the first step. Luckily I don’t have to sing lead on any of these so the job is relatively easy compared to our own set material.
