    Do you jam around bonfires or at parties sometimes?

I was in a few bands in my teens. Played in a RHCP cover band in another town and also with a wedding ensemble. Lately, I'm playing in my bedroom and sometimes jamming at the squares. Haven't tried busking yet. I also feel the need for a full band; I got lots of cool sounds in my head, but I find that playing a single guitar is very limiting. Thank goodness there are drum machine apps and DAWs.

    What are you go to songs to play/sing?

Gosh, it's been a while since I played a full song. Normally I play metal/funk/video game tracks/random melodies I heard on new songs by ear.

P.S.: elizabeth, it's nice that you picked up the guitar again! How's it going?

I listened to the song you posted. I know very little French, but overall, it's just sounds to me. Even when I listen to songs in English, I don't pay much attention to lyrics (except when they are creative, since I started writing my own stuff). Now I got the chords on my ears.
