I cycle between learning these alot actually.
Working on my own song that is about the battle of hastings.
And filling my brain full of lessons here at GMC
working on Red House - Jimi Hendrix
and my own song Barbera
Nile - Papyrus Containing The Spell To Preserve Its Possesor Against He Who Is In The Water"
Longest song title ever.
Im currently working on:
- Sweet Child O' Mine song by GNR
- Hand Control Lesson by Pavel
- 101 Two-Handed Tapping
Its off the album "Annhilation Of The Wicked"
Its based off an egyptian "Book" if you will, i wont get into the details (there are lots) but that actual chapter thats its based off of, the name is actually 2 or 3 times as long. what Nile did belive it or not, was "Compress", and thats as small as they coiuld get it.
I'm working on Allan Holdsworth's 'Devil take the hindmost'; 'Metal fatigue'; and 'Home'. Also Dixie Dregs' 'Take it off the top' and Pat Metheny's 'Phase Dance'.
Trying to get my daughter (7 years old) to practice Jingle Bells and some Kaiser Chiefs song. However she has the attention span of a goldfish so rarely ever plays it for more than 5 minutes - prefers looking at her Daisy rock electric to playing it .
Cheers,
Tony
Working on:
Rain by Trivium
March of the Dogs by sum 41
Different world (solo) by iron maiden
Hanger 18 Megadeth
^ good song.
i did jordan awhile ago from gh2 and i got past the sweep picking part and the first solo. but the tapping and on left me confuzzled.
Working on Transylvania. Pretty simple to pick up on but getting up to the speed that Maiden plays it is gonna take a little time. The ultimate alternate picking and stamina song!
Steve Vai - Juiced
Pavel - Advanced chording (love the sound)
Collection of Sins (always find me playing this one)
Megadeth - Rust in Peace...Polaris
Plus, Gabriel's posted lessons on here - Maiden and Vinny moore, etc...
Im doing a series of GMC lessons, just concentrating on getting some killer technique at the moment!
currently doing
steve vai - die to live
steve vai - for the love of god
guns n' roses - paradise city
I'm working on a few songs, but mostly I'm focusing on my speedpicking, sweeping, and basically all the technical stuff. I started playing in January and I don't want to learn songs by tabs yet, though I do like to "dabble"
Wolfmother - Where Eagles Have Been - I use the beginning for fingerpicking practice and the the solo is a couple of bluesy/rock type runs.
Muse - Knights of Cydonia - A couple sweeping sections, legato, and speedpicking make this fun. Also the music video for this song rocks so it's fun to pretend to be a gunslinger while playing it
Megadeth - Hangar 18 - Just the rhythm for now. I don't want to break my brain (or fingers!) trying to play the solos in this song. I also love the way the timing of the song changes half way through. It's like the longest breakdown in history
Again, because I only started in January, I really can't play many songs off the top of my head. I wanted to stay away from memorization and build some solid theory knowledge before I become a glorified cover artist
I just started my transcriptions for Iced Earth's "Burnt Offerings" album, i already know "Diary", "Dantes Inferno" and "Burnt Offerings", hopefully by the end of this week ill have the whole album down.
The Spirit Carries On - Dream Theater
Nothing Else Matters - Metallica (a song I've always loved and never learned)
Enter Sandman Solo because it's the first song I learned to drum and shall be the first real solo I learn
