I’m forming a band! And since I made the initiative, I won’t hold any auditions for the Rhythm Guitar part. Coz I will be doing that!! Hahahah my rules my style! Now I’m going back to my Mrs. Sepia (my guitar) for some practice. And it’s good bye long nails again (still hello nail polish, hello kalyo!)

Well the band is kinda complete already. I know that lead vocals is really what I wanted ever since because it’s the part with the most shining moments. Haha. Yet, I chose Rhythms because I feel more like a rocker superstar with a guitar on. Besides, my vocal talent is really not that powerful-american-idol-ish type. And since I feel that I’m only a beginner with the guitar stuff, I think it’s better to concentrate there. Though I’m still open for the female lead vocal  for the female songs

We decided that our genre would be alternative (or was it me who dictated that?? hahah). I would want an all-pinoy alternative type but there would be foreigners in the audience (naks!). The group’s assignment is a set list… I wonder if this playlist in my mind would be ok for the group… Some of these songs I already tried playing. Some are like my national anthem.. Gosh I have a lot of studying to do…

1. Here without you (3 Doors Down)
2. Lips of an Angel (Hinder) – I hate the lyrics of this song but the melody is just really goood
3. Over you (Daughtry)
4. Follow you down (Gin Blossoms) - Good luck for me, never tried playing this yet
5. Best I ever had (Vertical Horizon)
6. Couldn’t ask for more (Edwin McCain) – but of course!
7. This side (Nickelback)
8. How to save a life (The Fray) – this is a special request from our Band Manager (double naks!), and I do like this song too
9. No Rain (Blind Melon) - Fine! I’m old. This is the 90s!!
10. Under the Bridge (Red Hot Chili Peppah) - and another one bites the dust. Hello 90s!!
11. In my place (Coldplay)
12. Losing my Religion (REM)

13. Every little thing (Dishwalla)
14. Stolen (Dashboard Confessional)

… and more!

I wanted to include any Alanis songs, some Imago and Mojofly songs… coz those were the songs that I really had played and sung with. Let’s see… Any more suggestions…? * Mich, my rocker friend, help me out here! *

Btw, let me divert from alternative for a while coz here’s my LSS of the moment… Been studying the chords too… Will post my guitar video until I memorize this.

Sara Bareilles - King of Anything

Notes:
 -CAPO 1ST FRET!
 -While playing verses on the
  4th beat while playing the F
  us pick the bass note (E|-1-|)
  and then on the and of four
  walk down to a G (E|-3-|)
 -Picking the bass note and then
  playing the higher strings of
  the chords work just fine for a
  strumming pattern
 -Numbers above chords are which
  beat the chord is played on
 -The bridge is a little hard to
  "get down" but keep practicing
  it and listen to the drummers
  crash cymbals that's when you
  change chords
 -you can play this without a capo
  but then there are a lot of
  #'s and b's this tab is kids or
  new players who can't do bar chords

Intro:
C     Dm  Am F
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

Verse 1:
C                              Dm
Keep drinking coffee, stare me down across the ta-ble
Am               F
While I look out-side
C                         Dm
So many things I'd say if only I were able
      Am                            F
But I just keep quiet and count the cars that pass by
C
You've got opinions man
Dm
We're all entitled to 'em
Am           F
But I never asked
          C
So let me thank you for your time
        Dm
And try not to waste any more of mine
Am              F
Get out of here fast

Pre-Chorus:
           Dm
I hate to break it to you babe
              F
But I'm not drowning
        Am             G
There's no one here to save

Chorus:
Am               F
Who cares if you disagree
        C
You are not me
              G
Who made you king of anything
    Am              F
So you dare tell me who to be
   Em                 G
Who died and made you king of anything

Interlude:

C - Dm - Am - F 

Verse 2:
C
You sound so innocent
Dm
All full of good intent
Am             F
Swear you know best
C
But you expect me to
Dm
Jump up on board with you
Am                        F
And ride off into your de-lusional sunset
C
I'm not the one who's lost
Dm
With no direction, oh
Am               F
But you'll never see
          C
You're so busy making maps
        Dm                  Am
With my name on them in all caps
                    F
You got the talking down, Just not the listening

Chorus:
Am               F
Who cares if you disagree
        C
You are not me
              G
Who made you king of anything
    Am              F
So you dare tell me who to be
   Em                 G
Who died and made you king of anything

Bridge:
     G           Dm
All my life I've tried
          Am                  F
To make everybody happy while I
       G      Dm
Just hurt and hide
            Dm         E            F          G
Waiting for someone to tell me it's my turn to decide

Interlude:

C - Dm - Am - F 

Chorus:
Am               F
Who cares if you disagree
        C
You are not me
              G
Who made you king of anything
    Am              F
So you dare tell me who to be
   C                  G
Who died and made you king of anything
Am               F
Who cares if you disagree
        C
You are not me
              G
Who made you king of anything
    Am              F
So you dare tell me who to be
   Em                 G
Who died and made you king of anything
