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.

Medly demo's of my SOLO shows:
