Cover tunes are not all that bad...

(If you look closely you'll see the dry blood that ran through my left hand)

Cover tunes are good and easy way to get inspired with new ideas and it breaks you into venturing. It gets you out of the safe home box patterens that we do all the time... When I had to learn 35+ oldies songs for the Psychedelic Jukebox. Certain chord structures and chord progressions that I would never come up on my own would stick with me subconsciously. On one occasion an inspiration from nowhere of this one chord that I play on "Listen To The Music" would appeared on one of my own songs. (C#min7th) Yes It did put a smile in face because I know where it came from... "Show me a sign that my Love is not in vain"...
