Funky Monkey

Yesterday was a wonderful day. Spent the better part of it and some of the night at the beach. I even got a little color which is almost unheard of for me! YAY! But before that, I had a really great guitar lesson. My teacher had me work on some more funk rhythms, like some Earth Wind & Fire and some Red Hot Chili Peppers. I'll definitely be working on those rhythms and funk improv this week. Still looking at interesting songs to cover; so far I'm wanting to cover 'Where Is The Love' by the Black Eyed Peas, and I might also do 'Forget You' by Cee Lo Green. What has me waiting is that I want to do an upbeat song before 'Where is The Love', which isn't completely mellow, but I have a mellow song idea for it. Was thinking about covering 'Crazy' by Gnarles Barkley, but Ray LaMontagne beat me to it! Check out his version! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6mEfDSP4g_U

I also had my first successful go at writing a 'love' song yesterday! I've been inspired. You might be hearing that one soon :) And Brittney Rothal came over today and we wrote a song together...the video is down below. Enjoy!
