At the moment I'm learning two Rory Gallagher songs, Shin Kicker and Brute Force & Ignorance. My band is going to be playing these at our next gig at the end of the month. Learning these songs with my Rory Strat of course ;)
-
Velvet Revolver - Fall to Pieces. Not exactly complicated but its hard to get the solo right. The chorus lead line is so addictive to play, as well :)
-
Funnily enough, I was playing Brute Force and Ignorance earlier! I love the intro... good luck with the instrumental though - I saw it a few times and that's the one that I still find jaw-dropping, I've no idea how to do it... (I can noodle about on the slide stuff, but it's the "mandolin" type chord bit that stuns me..)
I also seem to be playing his "I Fall Apart" quite a lot, because this new strat just sounds like that - the IT'd strat, er, doesn't! :lol:
But I've also been trying out early ZZ Top stuff to see which ones I think are strat tunes (ie he played them on a strat) - I suspect Nasty Dogs is, it seems to sound more "authentic" on a strat than on a Les Paul...
-
I'm learning the set for the band I'm joining, some epic solos to learn (Deep Purple), but learnt these recently:
* Soulmover - Glenn Hughes
* Let Sleeping Dogs Lie - Michael Schenker
* Master Of Illusion - Gothard
I was a bit burnt out on this stuff today, so I had an afternoon of grind and sludge courtesy of Insect Warfare and Weedeater :D

working on Randy's live solo on the tribute album. the one after suicide solution. man that thing's a bitch.

I found this awesome Danny Gatton lesson series (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KRnDMPbtUSM) on YouTube so I'm having a try at his picking techniques. It's going to take a looong time to get anywhere with this.

A personal arrangement of the Jazz Standard - "The Very Thought Of You " .
I also want to 'knuckle down' and memorise the key signatures and chord structures within each key - to better 'spell' as I go along , instead of leaning back on chord diagrams - and thus provide a solid technical foundation for future Jazz improvisation in the years ahead. :)

Velvet Revolver - Fall to Pieces. Not exactly complicated but its hard to get the solo right. The chorus lead line is so addictive to play, as well :)
I learned this song about 2 years ago or so, and I can't agree more, that little chorus lead line is so addtive. I've forgotten pretty much the entire rest of the song, but I still run that little line most times I pick up a guitar, it's great!
I learned Black Night by Deep Purple because my band were thinking of covering it, we decided against it because we found out another two bands on the circut cover the same song, oh well, it's still a good riff to know :P
We're thinking of another cover to learn at the minute, we're not really sure what to do, but the singer seems pretty set on doing I Wanna Rock by Twisted Sister haha.

Do "Fat Girl (Thar She Blows)" by Steel Panther :D
-
Lenny.
Finding those chords and the timing difficult!
-
Superheroes - Racer X
I don't pretend I'll ever be able to play all of it (especially the solos!), I'm just going for the highlights.

Well that ain't gonna help, is it! :lol: (the strat-GAS)
-
Nothing at all (which is the exact reason I'm shitee on the guitar)..... but I am working on a jig to produce the worlds most exact guitar (well nearly, 0.1mm is good enough for me :lol:)
-
Hideway from the Beano album - (for about 6 months now - my memory is so poor I memorize about 4 bars a month)
The solo to La Grange
I am also working through the Stranglers greatest hits
On the acoustic -
Stagolee by Mississippi John Hurt
Someday Baby - Slide classic by Mississippi Fred McDowell.
Never seem to get anywhere at the moment though - I nail something oneday, the nextday I just can't remember how I did it.

Not really - :D. I've decided to not fight the GAS though. I'm keeping the Esquire and saving some pennies (pounds!) towards a strat - maybe not a CS model but definitely a strat. MIM Classic Players, MIJ or a Roadworn are on my radar for the future.

$%&# all :)

Downtuned Brutal....
Ragtime. Well it is in drop D :?

Why don't you try a Squire Classic Vibe?

That'll be added to the list then.

I tried a squire classic Vibe a while ago and loved it. The necks are a little thin for me but I'd consider getting one because it had serious vibe (no pun intended)

Hmm - if you loved it that makes me want to try one even more. I'm into chunkier necks now so maybe it could turn into a triggers broom guitar!
Bck on thread - still trying to learn tohse chords for Lenny :x
-
Try the Roadworns Ian.
Make sure you know what you're prepared to do before you pick it up though :lol: - it's either going to grab you or not, and if it does, it'll GRAB you hard, and reason might well go out the window - especially 'cos pricewise it's half or less than what you were looking at the other week, all sorts of demons will be whispering in your ear :lol:
The one I've got is going to take some further "wearing in" - I'm guessing they all do. I factored that in while I was buying - it wasn't a completely hysterical purchase! I'm actually too happy playing it at the moment to let it out of my hands, but I did realise as I was trying it in the shop, and before I committed, that another £100 approx to a trusted luthier of one's choice will turn this into one's dream guitar...
Oh yeah, back on topic, I was still playing Rory Gallagher stuff on it last night - mainly Taste and first two solo albums era. Those are the guitar sounds that really got me when I was trying to find my voice... and those are the sounds that this guitar makes... it's a little bit of a nostalgia trip at the moment :D
-
Ive been working on some acoustic stuff, mainly James Taylor. I am thinking of forming a duo with one of my band mates to do some more gigs.

We have been studying composition for about 5 yrs now, still not out of the woods yet, but starting to be more productive. Mostly is our own music while drawing influences from different genres . They are simple pieces, even though the amount of time employed behind each song is huge. It's lot's of fun and we get to use different guitars (all with BKP's) accordingly. Pretty much enjoying the whole journey!!!

Just got back from band practice tonight, we were playing Jace Everrett - Bad Things, the theme song for True Blood and we decided we're going to add it into our set tomorrow night, should be good fun! :)
For those who haven't heard the song:
