I have been distracting myself from lusting after Raymond's pretty guitar (without pick guard, obvs!) by trying to learn Slade's Christmas song. Sadly I do not have the vocal range of Noddy Holder, so I've had to transpose it so far down it's nearly up, which is forcing me to play Eb and Gsus4. And I'm not impressed.
It will no doubt do me good to be stretched. Serves me right for stress-raiding the Christmas Quality Street yesterday and being swept up in a moment of irrational premature festivity. At this rate I'll drop-Ding for Greg Lake by Monday and whistling Jingle Bells while I ice the Christmas cake.
Ho, ho, holy frick, I prefer songs made entirely using C, D, G and F!
