    Yeah the thing with evolution is that we played it once at a school concert... and the mick went off... i started singing (or screaming lewts say, lol ) and there was no sound.. so it brings us bad memories...

    I am no expert, but I do play and here are my first thoughts...

    I got shit - Three basic sections to this song, intro, pre chorus, chorus. None are difficult and have a great sound without a lot of work. The solo might be tougher, haven't really tried, just found three chords for that part.

    RVM is cool, but going to need a couple of guitars to hit it.

    Not 4 you is slick and not too difficult

    Immortality is an awesome choice too. Like 5 chords whole song, but a couple of guitars needed for the ending and solo parts.

    yeah if you do Not For You...the chorus is kind of annoying, play it like this:

    e
    b---9---11--12
    g---9---11--12
    d---9---11--12
    a
    e

    instead of

    e
    b
    g---13---15---16
    d---14---16---17
    a---14---16---17
    e
    its kind of hard to get your fingers down there on the neck to play those notes...

    but the main riff is simple
    g--1--3--4
    d--2--4--5
    a--2--4--5
