Hi all,

Can you play lots of famous song intros? Beware!




Featuring GMCer Keilnoth & based on http://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_forum/index.php?showtopic=28993, cartoon artist Jason Nocera reminds us of a golden rule: learn full songs!
Thanks Jason!

LOL! This is great. My wife was just having this discussion with me yesterday. "You only learn the riffs, and then don't play the song." Another classic example captured in comic. Nice work!

Excellent awesome and so true!

This is so true!!! We all been in this situation where we are asked what can we play and answer is only "Intro of that song, chorus of that one, verse of that"...

Hehe, there is a lot of truth in these comics ! The most horrible thing to say though, as a lead guitarist, is "I can play (for example) the entire Enter Sandman !" without actually knowing the solo ! In my opinion, knowing a song's solo ALMOST makes you worthy of knowing the whole song, without knowing the rest of it, as the solo is what's usually the most demanding part of a song...

I guess I sometimes only learn solos and riffs in songs, and when I don't know the rest I improvise/jam...

Posted by: Keilnoth Jul 28 2009, 09:08 AM

Ahah, OMG! Me in a cartoon. Can't believe that.
Thank you, will change my signature now.

Yesterday I started to learn Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness from the Smashing Pumpkins. I know, it's piano. But still nice to play on the guitar as well.
