I've been revisiting the song "Bad Company" from the band Bad Company. I can't believe this song dates back to 1974. I like the guitar so I learned it recently and have played along with the YouTube video as I pick up the small details on the way I want to play it...all done strictly by ear. Guitar solo not hard to derive the scale and play. It sounds pretty good and I like playing it. I've also been revisiting a song from the film "Napoleon Dynamite" and its soundtrack named "Music for a Found Harmonium" by Patrick Street. I think this is the song that plays right after he does that dance at the high school and they are are going about their lives after. The song reminds me a little bit of the banjo song from "Deliverance". It's in that category for me. Always liked the fast pace on this song. I learned this one on guitar also by ear and drop-D tune my guitar to play it. It's really a lot of fun to play and you have to be quick with the fingers and the pick. It's easy to mess it up. You really have to be focused. Funny story...back when "Bad Company" was in their heyday and I was a kid, my Dad bought me a Bad Company t-shirt. This particular t-shirt had a cannabis leaf on it. My Dad obviously had no idea. I had no idea what that was. I didn't even know about the band really back then. It was a t-shirt. So, I'd be walking around the neighborhood wearing this t-shirt and all the "cool" (i.e. stoner) kids in the neighborhood were totally complimenting me for walking around in a cannabis leaf emblazoned Bad Company t-shirt. Lol. Little did I know how entrenched cannabis was in the neighborhood until a few years later when I got the peer pressure to partake.
