Some notes on the requests. That’s the order i recorded them in, but not that they were asked for. I needed lyrics for 1-3, chords for 2-3, and lots of righteous misplaced gender angst for 4. I kept the first complete take of each song, and the only one with a significant false start was Rabi’s. I did “Outta Me” first because i’ve recorded it before and i know i can ad-lib all over the place. I thought Yucca’s would be very hard but it was simple because i spent a long time transcribing it last summer so that it would make sense on such an occasion. I was planning to do “La Isla” anyway, but had been putting off transcribing the chords. Please note that i incorporate the guitar solo into my strumming, because i care that much about solo acoustic Madonna covers (of which we’ve seen four, so far). I did invert the instrumental bit and then didn’t sing to it like Madonna does; however, i pounded on my guitar quite a bit like she did at the concert to make up for it. A year ago today i couldn’t sing “Not a Pretty Girl” and play it at the same time, and now it’s one of the easiest Ani songs for me to cover except for that it’s always using all four of my fingers and i tend to abuse my guitar a lot when i play it. Enjoy, ladies and gents.
