warri0r45 Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 So it's pretty simple - what songs are you learning on your chosen instrument at the moment? :) Right now I'm getting used to: My Friends by the Red Hot Chili Peppers, So Real by Jeff Buckley Also, what's your favourite song to play? Got a favourite? Oh man, I'd have to say some oldschool Tool takes the cake for me, something like Undertow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rushrock Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 I love playing Trans-Siberian Orchestra, Pink Floyd, and heavier stuff like Megadeth and Metallica, just to name a few. Right now I'm trying to learn Wizards In Winter by Trans-Siberian Orchestra. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azvareth Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 Beat me to it. I was thinking about making a thread like this. :P I just learned the solo in Dancing In The Moonlight by Thin Lizzy. In my opinion, it's the only part of that song worth learning. The rest is quite boring. I also learned to play And The Bands Played On by Saxon a while ago. It's a blast to play. As for a favorite song... it'd probably have to be Rock Bottom by UFO, simply because it's probably the best riff and solo ever made, or Emerald by Thin Lizzy.

woopidoo2 Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 So it's pretty simple - what songs are you learning on your chosen instrument at the moment? :) Right now I'm getting used to: My Friends by the Red Hot Chili Peppers, You play... bass guitar right? I should try 'My Friends' too. Right now Im learning Snow - Red Hot Chili Peppers, We've gotta get out of this place - The Animals The second one is a killer, if you need a song to practice on your bass guitar you should try that one. The intro is 85% of the song, and he plays it without 1 mistake.

Craiglowery Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 Cities On Flame With Rock and Roll - Blue Oyster Cult Such an awesome riff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GordanFreeman Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 I've got the main part of the song down for Voodoo Child by Jimi Hendrix, but I doubt I'll be able to replicate the solo's throughout, so I guess I'll just try and make up my own. I hope to learn Lazy by Deep Purple fairly soon. Also Awakening by Jefferson Starship. Guess my favorite song to play right now is Voodoo Child or Good Times Bad Times.

Ragen Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 Having a go at Imperium by Machine Head at the moment. And I've got an ongoing project to learn Entire Albums, so I can jam to it. Thinking of doing Stone Sour - Come What (Ever) May first, keep it nice and easy then move onto Machine Head - Burn My Eyes and then (lol at this idea) Dream Theater - Train of Thought. Sound like a plan? Thanks Venomai for this super sig and Kwimbob for the awesome avatar! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sound like a plan? That sounds pretty awesome mate. I've not taken that approach yet but I think I'll eventually fill our my repertoire of Rage Against the Machine's self titled album (currently learnt up to Bullet in the Head) and I'll probably eventually learn as many Tool albums as possible - currently learnt 4 songs from each of their releases except only Vicarious thus far from their 10,000 days album. So yeah, no shortage of new music for me to learn at the moment. I think the most fun with playing your favourite band's songs comes from lining up a whole bunch and just rolling through them.

pryomancer Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 I learnt the intro the Stairway to Heaven the other day, I could play that all night. My favourite song to play is 'Welcome to Paradise' by Green Day, because it's so energetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intriguing Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Guitar - A few little songs here and there. Nothing too difficult. Funeral Thirst by The Black Dahlia Murder is fun. Bass - Selkies: the Endless Obsession by Between the Buried and Me--I'm struggling with it, but I'll get there eventually. Violin - Praeludium und Allegro by Fritz Kreisler--Gotten most of it down. I'm just learning this one for fun. Raphsodie (Ungarische Weisen fur Violine und Klavier, op. 49) by Jeno Takacs--Just perfecting it. I only need it for my HSC, so there's not exactly any rush. Baal Shem (Three Pictures of Chassidic Life), 1. Vidui (Contrition), by Ernest Bloch--Pretty easy, but it's absolutely beautiful. I'm also going to start learning Summer from Vivaldi's Four Seasons when I get the music. I'm gonna be playing it in a concert sometime around June, so I want it down by April. Cool.

assassin_696 Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 I guess the main thing i'm playing around with at the moment is Black Dog by Led Zeppelin. It's not too hard to play the notes, just keeping it all together while keeping the tempo up is probably the main challenge. My favourite song to jam to though is Screwdriver by The White Stripes. It's so simple, stripped down and raw, but i've got a great live recording where Jack White's really just going for it and it's so much fun to play along to and feel a part of that crazy self destructive performance.

justin_m23 Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 I have been kind of learning 'Windy and Warm' by Tommy Emmanuel, but its an easy piece so not much effort their. On a completely different note - Could anyone suggest some good guitar instrumental pieces that fall under the Jazz genre? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthernHero Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Unstolen Jewel or Radical Dreamers from Chrono Cross http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=_RSrQ6DfEWI On acoustic guitar. This is kinda hardish song I think.. And its only the second song i'm learning so far (excluding the small songs on guitar for dummies). Am I taking too big leap? :-k Reality is hundreds of times more beautiful and more interesting than delusions. Fairy tales just tend to be easier to follow than the wonderful intricacies of life.

fatbill Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Not really "learning" any songs as you would call it because I dont play an instrument. But just for me while im listening to music for my own pleasure. I am trying to learn the lyrcis for: Love so pure, Friends Forever and Teen Titans Theme by Puffy AmiYumi, a Jpop band. Please click below to help with my ICT A Level, for which I have to monitor my website for 8 weeks, hits and feedback welcome. http://www.chauncystweb.co.uk/sm Feedback page now up and working.

Doom1200 Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Raining Blood by Slayer. I've got the intro memorized it's just the 5-3-0 6-3-0 that kills me. It's soooo fricking fast. :P I've got the entire System debut album memorized. It's a fun album to just spend an hour going through playing it. The other song I'm learning is In Your Face by Children of Bodom. Fuuuuun song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woopidoo2 Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 I could have lied - Red hot chili peppers. Intro+Solo, great song. (I practice this song with my guitar.) I tried the outro from Funky Monks - Red Hot Chili Peppers for bass, but thats pretty hard. And it seems Flea used a 5 string bass, while I have a 4 string.
