Mark Ziza's covers play list.
Last updated 7th May 2007
So this is my list of covers. It's constantly growing depending what takes
my fancy, so check back sometime.
You will probably find it's a strange mixture; my main aim with learning to
play other peoples music is to enjoy myself. I try to find a way I can play
these songs as a soloist and to find my own voice. I see no point in trying to
reproduce the original. That's why when I learn a song I seek out as many
versions as possible and mix them all up into my way of doing things. Often
there is more than one way I like to play a piece depending on the mood. Most of them I can play from memory, so long as I keep up the maintenance!
I have tried to list the songs under the name of whoever inspired me the
most or first, not always the original creator.
This a master list including cover songs I do with my band and solo.
