R.E.M. - Imitation of Life






*UPDATE* Fixed the crashes (removed the hihats sharing the same line as a crash). Also removed the Adv version because it was stupid & harder than the real version. New links below.

This is a song from my favorite band, R.E.M. I rationalize that by saying Joe Satriani does not count as a band per se. Thus, he is my favorite solo performer. Welcome to my mind.

Anyway, this is a great song with a great video. It wouldn't have been my very first choice for an R.E.M. song (Life and How to Live It, anyone?), but since I'm still mostly working off of midis at this point, I takes what I can gets.

This one took about 5 minutes, not counting tweaking and perfecting. That almost makes up for all the unfinished ones I've spent hours on. Almost.

As I mentioned on the YouTube page, it has an Advanced & Extreme (Real) version. Somehow, the Advanced version is trickier. File under "hard".

On another note: I'm all for taking requests. There's no guarantee I will be able to do your song, but if I like it at least it little, and I can find a midi with drums, I can try. Bonus points for you if you provide the midi.
