Week 7 – Days like this

In high school, I was part of a Ska ensemble that a few of my friends and a teacher I quite liked started. I played bari sax and because of the low difficulty of ska music (for the horn section atleast) I often spent the time that the rhythm section used to rehearse their little bits to arrange songs for the band to play. One such song was days like this and after the teacher heard it, Days like this became our closing song in any concert we did. Thus, I decided that I would learn days like this, even though it is a fairly simple song to play the chords for.

To compensate for the relatively straightforward chords I added C7, Am7 and F7 every now and then to spice up the chords. The song is also sung fairly high so I didn’t sing it particularly well but I don’t really mind because I’m playing the song for fun and to practice guitar, not to perform it.
