GMC Forum _ PRACTICE ROOM _ Good Rock Songs To Learn?

Posted by: stratman33 Jun 18 2007, 10:53 PM

Know any good rock songs to learn? Whenever I go on UG to look for tabs, I cant ever think of anything. Got any ideas? Oh ya, I'm kind of an intermediate guitar player.

AHHH ive got some good rock songs
1. Rock you like a Hurricaine- Scorpions
2. Jump- Van Halen
3. sails of Charon - Scorpions
4.Sleep now in the Fire- Rage against the machine
5.Photograph - Def Leppard
6. women from tokyo - Deep Purple
7. californiacation- red hot chili peppers
8. raise a little hell - April Wine
9. Aces High- Iron Maiden
10.Poision - Alice Cooper
11.Building the Church- Steve vai

The difficulty of these songs vary but none are too hard hope this gets yea started.

ps: the vai is a joke

Try 'Fade to Black-Metallica'. The only difficult part in it is the solo at the end only because its a little too fast. But again this one song can teach you a lot, at least that was in my case.

Raise a little hell is by trooper. But Im glad you mentioned April Wine because I love that band.

But for intermediate guitar if you like Neil Young I recommend Down By The River and Rocking In the Freeworld. UG has good tabs of those songs. Plus the solos are kind of easy but fun to jam along with.
Streets of Fire by Bruce Springsteen if not to hard and a great song.

Back in Black - ACDC
Whole Lotta Love, Communication Breakdown, Heartbreaker, Black Dog - Led Zepp
LA Woman - The Doors
Sweet Home Alabama - Lynyrd Skynard
Nothing Else Matters - Metallica
My Generation - The Who
La Grange - ZZ Top

That should keep you going for a while!

That's a good song, I know it, but i cant find any tabs for it in normal format.
