Posted by: Outlaw2112 Feb 19 2009, 02:19 AM

the band is rage against the machine

Posted by: ZakkWylde Feb 19 2009, 02:25 AM

Posted by: Outlaw2112 Feb 19 2009, 02:29 AM

Posted by: Sircraigery Feb 20 2009, 04:05 AM

They all have flanger LOL, sounds cool though.

Posted by: Outlaw2112 Feb 21 2009, 01:03 AM

Yeah, ive been playing everything with the flanger on... including my practice routine

I like the sound of it

Posted by: Sircraigery Feb 21 2009, 01:48 AM

Yep, now less talky, more riffy.

Posted by: Outlaw2112 Feb 21 2009, 01:53 AM

I like the way you think...

Im gonna need a hint on this one

Posted by: Sircraigery Feb 21 2009, 02:06 AM

"____ Has failed the world! _______ has failed our mother earth!"

Posted by: Outlaw2112 Feb 21 2009, 02:35 AM

System of a Down - Science

I gotta add that riff to my learn list... nice one

Posted by: Outlaw2112 Feb 21 2009, 03:02 AM

Posted by: Sircraigery Feb 21 2009, 04:26 AM

Metal Milisha (I can't spell haha)

Posted by: Outlaw2112 Feb 21 2009, 07:24 PM

john sykes

Posted by: Sircraigery Feb 21 2009, 08:47 PM

That one must have been before my time, I've never heard that one before. Awesome solo in that song!

Posted by: GuitarJones Feb 21 2009, 08:51 PM

Before your time Sir Craigery! I graduated High School the year that song came out and saw them in concert. You make me feel old Some of the best guitar songs came from the 80's!

Posted by: Outlaw2112 Feb 21 2009, 09:06 PM

that whole song is awesome...

Ive heard your riff before, its kinda hard to think at the moment with my 7 year old talking about which bakugan he wants to get and all the powers it has

Posted by: Andrew6 Feb 21 2009, 09:09 PM

Don't feel bad I knew that song and I was born in 87

Posted by: Sensible Jones Feb 21 2009, 09:12 PM

@ Sir Craigery...
Kings of Leon ~ Sex on Fire?

Posted by: Outlaw2112 Feb 21 2009, 09:41 PM

Yeah, im very impressed with your music knowledge, especially knowing your age

Posted by: Andrew6 Feb 21 2009, 09:46 PM

Why thank you! I wish I knew as much about playing as I did about Artist/tracks But I suppose ive spent my whole life listening and only a few years on the instrument

Posted by: Outlaw2112 Feb 21 2009, 11:51 PM

I managed to record another one...dont know how with all this bakugan talk in my ear from my son

Posted by: Outlaw2112 Feb 22 2009, 03:49 AM

heres a hint

At night I walk this stinkin' street past the crazies on my block
And I see the same old faces and I hear that same old talk
And I'm searching for the latest thing, a break in this routine
I'm talkin' some new kicks, ones like you ain't never seen

Posted by: GuitarJones Feb 22 2009, 04:08 PM

MeanStreet?

Posted by: Outlaw2112 Feb 22 2009, 05:25 PM

yeah...

Posted by: GuitarJones Feb 22 2009, 08:28 PM

Next one

Posted by: Outlaw2112 Feb 23 2009, 12:36 AM

gonna need a hint on that one, bro

Posted by: GuitarJones Feb 23 2009, 12:38 AM

This song always makes my heart of steel sad.

Posted by: Outlaw2112 Feb 23 2009, 12:42 AM

crimson glory - heart of steel?

Posted by: GuitarJones Feb 23 2009, 01:04 AM

Lady, won't you save me?
My heart belongs to you.
Lady, can you forgive me?
For all I've done to you.
Lady, oh, lady.

Steelheart

Posted by: Outlaw2112 Feb 23 2009, 01:43 AM

steelheart - shes gone

Ive never heard that song.

heres one im surprised isnt up here already

Posted by: GuitarJones Feb 23 2009, 02:04 AM

Yeah, it is a beautiful song... my playing just doesn't do it justice and I think the tab I was using was a little off. It is a good exercise in vibrato and bending.

I'm going to need help with yours

Posted by: Andrew6 Feb 23 2009, 02:07 AM

Scanning the scene
in the city tonight
We're looking for you
to start up a fight

Posted by: Outlaw2112 Feb 23 2009, 02:08 AM

youre gonna have to seek for the answer and destroy it

yeah you know it

Posted by: GuitarJones Feb 23 2009, 02:12 AM

Ok.. seek and destroy. I never listened to the old Metallica music. Guess it is time to listen to it... be like finding new albums by them.

Posted by: Outlaw2112 Feb 23 2009, 02:31 AM

kill em all is their best album in my eyes... every song on there just rocks hard and the riffs are just straight my nasty and fun to play

its actually a good alternate picking exercise to play those songs

whos next?

heres another easy one

Posted by: Andrew6 Feb 23 2009, 02:39 AM

This is by far your best one yet! Some good Canadian boys the true Spirit of Rock

Posted by: Outlaw2112 Feb 23 2009, 02:49 AM

same band another easy one

Posted by: Andrew6 Feb 23 2009, 03:00 AM

haha must have been some work learning that one

Posted by: Outlaw2112 Feb 23 2009, 03:03 AM

i have another one recorded that i think is going to give everyone some trouble

good luck and let me know if you need hints

I actually know alot of this bands riffs

Posted by: Outlaw2112 Feb 23 2009, 05:08 AM

Mercyful fate

Posted by: Sircraigery Feb 23 2009, 05:18 AM

Correct!

I was away for a few days working on a drilling rig, so sorry for the late reply.

Posted by: Outlaw2112 Feb 23 2009, 05:33 AM

I thought i might be able to stump andrew with some mercyful fate....

Posted by: Andrew6 Feb 23 2009, 05:57 AM

Yep I hardly know any mercyful fate you got me lol

Posted by: Outlaw2112 Feb 23 2009, 06:03 AM

Posted by: Sircraigery Feb 23 2009, 11:03 PM

One more to the heap.

EDIT: I might be without my guitar, so here are another 2. I"m really trying to remember riffs I used to know....

Posted by: Outlaw2112 Feb 24 2009, 12:35 AM

2nd - cream sunshine of your love

3rd - clapton cocaine

Posted by: Outlaw2112 Feb 24 2009, 02:22 AM

Posted by: Andrew6 Feb 24 2009, 02:34 AM

I dont own a single mercyful fate cd or record

Posted by: Outlaw2112 Feb 24 2009, 02:41 AM

they are who metallica listened to and got alot of their ideas from...

this dude shows you how to play the first 3 minutes of satans fall which is a 11 minute song stock full of riffs

check out these riffs



heres the other song i posted from them

Posted by: Andrew6 Feb 24 2009, 02:49 AM

Nice thanks! I knew Metallica were heavily influenced by them but i've never really listened to any of their music

Posted by: Outlaw2112 Feb 24 2009, 04:27 AM

a little sloppy but im tired and my fingers arent cooperating with me at the moment..

Im having one of those nights where my tone doesnt sound good to me and my fingers arent working
properly

anyway another metal band from the 80's

Posted by: Outlaw2112 Feb 24 2009, 02:20 PM

heres a hint : it was a Crazy Night last night, but my amp had plenty of Loudness to it

Posted by: botoxfox Feb 24 2009, 02:34 PM

Loudness - Crazy Nights

Didn't need hints for that one though

Posted by: Outlaw2112 Feb 25 2009, 01:27 AM

very very popular band in GMC and there arent any riffs from this band in here

Posted by: Andrew6 Feb 25 2009, 01:36 AM

the haaand that threatenss doooooom, twwwo minutes tooo midniiiight.
Awesome riff!

Posted by: Outlaw2112 Feb 26 2009, 05:21 AM

Kinda stuck on this song at the moment, im determined to get the whole song down solos and all... I got all the riffs down , I just need to learn the solo and play the riffs consistently with out messing up..

anyway here it is, shouldnt be too hard

Posted by: Andrew6 Feb 26 2009, 05:27 AM

Where Eagles Dare, Maiden


Heres one another 80s thrash down picking monsters , at least one part of the riff is

PS I got my new guitar so the riffs should be slightly clears and the volume is low because everyone is sleeping

Posted by: Outlaw2112 Feb 26 2009, 05:32 AM

megadeth just cant think of the song at the moment

Posted by: Andrew6 Feb 26 2009, 05:33 AM

yep its off so far so good so what and its a pretty heavy song to be playing at this hour

Posted by: Outlaw2112 Feb 26 2009, 05:36 AM

In my darkest hour.... nice

havent heard that song in years

Posted by: Andrew6 Feb 26 2009, 05:38 AM

Yeah I am a big megadeth fan

Posted by: Outlaw2112 Feb 26 2009, 05:49 AM

have you seen this

Posted by: Andrew6 Feb 26 2009, 05:51 AM

Yeaap I think ive searched all over youtube for marty friedman and dave mustaine vids, good video!

Posted by: Sircraigery Feb 26 2009, 08:34 AM

I think this is probably the best teaching vid on youtube, and he seems to have no ego at all (a trait every good teacher seems to have). Every other one vid I've seen seems to be a "look how fast I am" type.

EDIT: Kinda sounds like I meant every other one of Martys vids, which was not what I was trying to say.
