When I started doing solo gigs (after years of being part of a duo), I thought one way I could work smarter and not harder would be to learn some of my musical partner’s songs (where she sang lead). After all, I’d played those songs a jillion times in the past and could do the guitar parts in my sleep. All that was left to do is tweak each song’s key to make it more singable for me.
Today’s song, Time After Time, is a perfect example. It was a staple song in our set and a crowd favorite. All I had to do was move the capo around to a more comfortable vocal range (and stop myself from singing harmony!) and boom - the song’s pretty much good to go!
What do you think?
