The Intrepid Fox, by Freddie Hubbard. I just have to figure out how to play the really fast section. I've got the notes down, now I just need to play it about fifty thousand times to get it down perfectly.

What instrument? Piano?

Trumpet actually, I can't play piano for shet. I want to learn piano, since it would help me understand music theory a bit better, but I'm a very physically oriented person, so I tend to learn things by ear rather than through any kind of teaching method in a book or whatever.

EWTRTW on the Ukulele:

I was doing it a whole step lower, but now I'm gonna try this arrangement.

It's not Jake Shimabukuro difficult, but it is a bit rough in spots.

Learning a few Grandaddy, Karen O and Sufjan Stevens tracks on guitar as of late. Stuff off of Under the Western Freeway, Where the Wild Things Are soundtrack and Illinois/Seven Swans. As far as piano goes I've been coming up with several Mount Eerie piano versions by ear. Learning a couple Erik Satie/Aphex Twin tracks, Gymnopédies by Satie and Avril 14th off the Aphex Album, Drukqs. Fun stuff.

I started working on Herbie Hancock's "Watermelon Man" today. Relatively easy, but a lot of fun.

I love this tuning (as demonstrated by Lindsey Buckingham here) and have been trying to get a handle on it.
