I create videos for this channel as I learn new music, usually to share with my band as a way to pitch ideas for set list additions.  Once I feel like I've got a good enough grasp of the song, I'll grab the camera and try recording it.  

This one is a do-over.  Our band, Retroflection, is seriously reconsidering this.  That was 18 months ago when I first brought up this song as a possible add.  Looks like we are going to add it finally :)

When I went back to relearn it, I realized that my original recording of the verses were close, but not quite the same lick the synth bass plays.  I really tried to match the song on this one.  Not sure if there's a tab out there that reflects this, but I'll try to put one together.

Walking In LA

Our band pitches songs for considerations over a group text.  Today, this one came up as a possibility.  "Walking In LA" was their biggest song from 1983.  This one came out a year earlier and didn't break into the top 40.  Still it's a fun, high-energy song that will spark some MTV nostalgia.

If you want to learn this one, it's rather simple with a relentless 16th notes throughout.

If you're going to play one, you might as well play the other.  They're basically the same song. Both of these 80s hits start with similar signature bass lines in F#.  When you're playing live, you can switch between them almost seamlessly.
