I learned that about a year ago, it's awesome. The solo's really fun too. Learn the opening riff to Sweet Home Alabama and your friends and family will go nuts. The best part of it is that it's really no harder than More than a Feeling. XD

I play guitar. I'm not very good. My top 5 songs to play:

1. The words "Best Friend" Become Redefined by Chiodos (including the keyboard part.. which i cant do very well yet, hard as hell on guitar)

2. 94 hours by As I Lay Dying

3. The Darkest Nights by As I Lay Dying

4. Entombment of a Machine by Job for a Cowboy

5. Story of my old man by good Charlotte (Fun to play... it's easy, and sounds cool)

And right now i'm learning Tilting the Hourglass by Alesana. It's pretty hard, it'll take me a while to get it down. I'm not very good at skipping strings, and there's lots of that in there.

I play too.

My fav things to play are:

1. Pretty much any Red Hot Chili Peppers song.
2. Castles Made Of Sand - Jimi Hendrix.
3. Mother - Pink Floyd
4. The Pixies stuff is fun to play.
5. Any chugging Pantera riffs which i can manage to play.

Bass
Acoustic
Electric

I like bass the most but a good acoustic song is delicious.

My Dad plays bass. I know enough to get by on root notes, so I still have allot of work to do. :)

I dont even know the actual notes and chords and that. I play tabs and my friend who wrties the music for our band tabs it for everyone. Ive been playing bass for about a year and guitar for about 5.

Rebel

For the E string and the A string I know the notes for bass (or guitar, same thing) but beyond that I rely on tabs.

Been playing for 30 years...mostly fingerstyle streel-string acoustic including chord-melody jazz, hymns, gospel, bluegrass, classical, and original compositions. Currently playing an Ovation Custom Balladeer and saving up for something along the lines of a Taylor 410-CE.

Back in my electric days, I played Gibsons including a late-70s SG, ES-175, and my all-time favorite, the ES-335. The best thing I ever did when I started playing was to learn how to read standard music notation. My favorite guitarist overall would have to be Al DiMeola.

yeah! I've been playing for about 3 years. My favorite stuff to play is Lamb of god and Metallica. i have a Les Paul (Epiphone) with a Seymour Duncan invader for a bridge pick up.

That's awesome, I've always wanted to play Jazz. I play Jazz drums, but not guitar (yet).

30 years? Wow. That's awsome.

I dont like jazz as a whole, but the guitar sounds pretty cool in that music. I want to start learning it soon.

In other news, i just learned how to play Minuet by From First to Last. Acoustic instrumental, it's pretty awsome. Hand stretches are a pain in the ass though... having to switch from A5-D7-G9 to D3-G2-E0 is pretty **** hard when you are new to guitar like me. haha. But i can do it. :=]

Buy the way, when i said "a3-d2"etc... the letter is the string, and the number is the fret. lol.

When I first started playing I learned a bunch of blink182 and played that for like my first 2-3 years, then I realized what real music was and learned a grip load of metal and some classical and good old rock. Enter Sandman, Master Of Puppets, Under the Bridge, Free Bird, Tears In Heaven, Fade to Black, Back in Black, Crazy Train, and Stairway to Heaven are my favorites to play.

I play alot of pantera and zeppelin. I've been into Avenged sevenfold lately, because the lead guitar is amazing. Not a fan of the singing though.

I've been playing for about 10 months. I've got a cheap knockoff strat style guitar and a Vox AD50VT amp. I'm hoping to buy an Epiphone Les Paul or and Epiphone Dot (ES-335) style guitar soon.

I also have an acoustic Fender guitar that I adore. It produces the greatest sounds.

I play both frequently. On electric I just learn songs that I like. All kinds of stuff from Kings of Leon to Led Zeppelin. I'm starting to learn some Oasis songs too. Guitar is great!

Been playing for 7 months, on and off. I see it as more of a thing to pass time. Although I love it.

Can play some of the white stripes songs, nirvana, SMOKE ON THE WATER (:tongue:), and I try to replicate some GH songs, like rock you like a hurricane and hit me with your best shot. I'm still struggling with the solos

Yeah I've been playing for a while now. Recently I've been larning a lot of KISS stuff seeing as it's catchy, very easy and fun.
The hardest songs I can play are probably:

Master Of Puppets - Metallica (Including the solos!)
Parisienne Walkways - Gary Moore (Including the solo!)
Still Got The Blues - Gary Moore (Including the solos!)
Number Of The Beast - Iron Maiden (Including the solos!)
The Trooper - Iron Maiden (Including the Solo!)

The stuff I like to play because it's fun though is:

Crazy, Crazy Nights - Kiss
Detroit Rock City - Kiss
Dani California - Red Hot Chili Peppers
Back In Black - AC/DC
Enter Sandman - Metallica

I'm also in a band with some friends. We play just simple old rock music, although we have had the occasional metal jam. I'm on guitar (swapping between rhythm and lead with the other guitarist) and I sing also.

05-28-2008, 07:51 AM
Yeah, I'm playing guitar for about 2 years now I think. My guitar is an Epiphone SG (cherry red of course ^^) and my amp is a Marshall MG30DFX. I'm trying to learn some more classical and power metal but that's hard =P I recently learned how to play "Emerald Sword" by Rhapsody including the solo's. But usually when I play guitar I play blues or rock riffs and thingies. I'm in a band to =D

You're doing well if you can play them cleanly. Get the basics down and learn theory. I have to emphasize the theory part so much. Start learning it from the beginning as it will benefit you greatly in the future; it's the backbone of learning guitar. I wish I'd started it earlier. Learn some simple songs that you'll enjoy playing too like:
Smells Like Teen Spirit - Nirvana
Come As You Are - Nirvana
Heart Shaped Box - Nirvana
Smoke On The Water - Deep Purple
Wonderful Tonight - Eric Clapton

Keep at it bro; you'll never regret it. :icon_wink
