So, I just tried writing down that list of songs that I like and that help define my style (and in most cases, that I could actually see myself enjoying playing Live...). Turns out that said list is a bit longer than probably should be. Then again, having a list of 73 songs (that's not finished yet, by the way) gives me a good place to start :) I can already play a few of the songs, and some of the songs are ones I'm in the process of learning. The rest, well, I'll have to find out which ones are easy enough to start with. The songs by Deep Purple or Søren Andersen on my list generally seem to have some simple riffs, so they might be a good place to start, while some of the more complex stuff might have to wait...

A few of the songs on my list right now aren't exactly the most famous either, but I believe that a well-done cover can change that. Just take Phil Lynott and Thin Lizzy's "Please Don't Leave Me". Until a week ago, I didn't know it was actually Phil Lynott and Thin Lizzy that wrote it, because the radio always plays Pretty Maids' cover of it, which rocks a bit harder, and gets more people dancing. So there's always a chance that people will actually come back time after time, hoping to hear a certain well-done cover :) So I'll take it slowly and learn as many of those 73 songs as possible, and hopefully learn from each and every single one of them :)
