What song are you learning to play?

[AsMemoriesFade]

i was just wondering if anyone is trying to learn any new songs on guitar and what song that you are trying to learn and maybe if someone needs help with something or needs any ideas or tips someone that reads this will help you out! :)

[IcedOpethBlind]

erotomania. its a bitch to memorize.

[ArTkY_]

Any As I Lay Dying song right now.

I most recently learned 94 Hours but I keep forgetting the part where he says "The torment of your eyes has awakened my soul. The pain of a moments time will forever beg your... forgiveness."

Yep.

[djUbilla]

I'm still trying to figure out The Good Life - Album of the Year...

that part of the song is the same riff from the first verse (if you can call it that) of the song.

[Scott Irvine]

I just learned how to play 'Gigantic' by the Pixies on the bass.

[OveriseFan]

uhh...

Your Own Disaster and Two Zero Two, the former by TBS and the latter, Northstar.

Eh, I just started basically so...

[MrChainsaw389]

The only song I can play from start to finish is Play Crack the Sky by Brand new

I can play parts of a lot of stuff though. Alkaline Trio, Taking Back Sunday, Northstar, White Stripes. Lots of shit.

Oh dude, I'll hook you up with Your Own Disaster if you can find a way to teach me Two Zero Two...The Taking Back Sunday song, is real easy, easy to memorize, too. Good luck.

same, i know so many riffs and beginnings to songs, i just never learn them all the way through. i could if i wanted, just theres no point seeing as i'm not in a band and it sounds like shit without drums.

[oldwirehands]

I am learning to play the a bunch of old Dillinger Escape Plan stuff. Its a nice challenge for me.

[Samuel]

the new Coldplay stuff..its fun

[Hilikus]

I'm still trying to figure out The Good Life - Album of the Year...

I have been playing that recently and pretty much got it down. Here is the tab that i used to learn it and it seems to be pretty acurate.

I change the B/Am to an Em. I think it sounds a little better. Also that site is great for Bright Eyes tabs and tabs for other related bands.

[monkeyboy14]

I'm trying to learn a few things. Everything Evil by Co&Ca. Some songs of the new Starting Line album and Theatre and Shhh! I'm Listening To Reason by GAD.

[CircaEnder]

your own disaster is easy/fun as hell to play. i love tbs.. i know more tbs than anything.

yeah man, ive been learning some Coheed. Everything Evil is acutally rather difficult yet simple at the same time. The main verse in that song (the beginning verse) is a bitch to play. It's all about the timing. Either way, playing any coheed is fun. In Keeping Secrets... is really fun to play.

With a bit of practise you can get the timing down. The verse is the only bit I know. In Keeping Secrets is one of my favourite songs to play. I really want to learn all of The Crowing (all the lead parts)

[sweethypocrisy]

i finished learning i am hollywood by he is legend

[Samuel]

wow ur from Shelbyville

im from Fayetteville..like 20/30 miles SE of there

[punklet2101]

At the moment i'm learning "Memphis......." by Norma Jean and a couple of songs from the new album.

[ArTkY_]

that part of the song is the same riff from the first verse (if you can call it that) of the song.
No dude, not that riff. The riff that sounds like a solo thats behind his screaming. Right before he goes "Forgiveness....... Forgiveness..." And then you play:

F 10-9-----12-10-9-----12-----------
C -------10------------10---------------

etc...

ohhhhh okay. yea, it took a while to get the pattern of that riff down, but once you get it a few times in a row, it becomes almost natural. keep working at it.

[FinchBulldog2]

i might learn some stuff off of deja entendu

[merv the perv]

I'm learning "Nobody's Nothing" by Owen.

[punklet2101]

i might learn some stuff off of deja entendu
Yeah, that stuffs good and easy

[Hilikus]

The Boy Who Blocked His Own Shot is a good one to learn. I learned that one a while ago and played it acoustic. It sounds pretty sweet.

[oldwirehands]

hahaha When I have a lot of energy or just pissed off. I'll play that cd loud as fuck and jam with the entire album. Those songs are fun to play.

[BetsyXcore]

is this going to be a strictly guitar thread, or can i rant about what i'm learning on bass?

Yeah. It sounds cool too, fun as hell to play.

[Blind-Pilot]

New finch stuff looks like fun to learn....anyone know where i can get tabs for it yet?, oh and i have been learning a fair bit of muse..

[monkeyboy14]

At one stage I learnt to play pretty much the whole album. The only thing I couldn't get was the bridge on Jaws Theme Swimming. Its lots of fun to play. I suggest learning Guernica and Good To Know...

Dude! Thanks so much! Holy shit...I've been trying to learn this on and offf for months. Thanks!

Yeah dude. It is pretty easy to learn and sounds great. I think at one point, I could pretty much (at least) b.s. my way through that entire album.

My favorite to play has to be "Okay, I Believe You"...but I dunno. If I could stretch my range just a half step or step higher I'd like playing "I Will Play My Game" more.

[BetsyXcore]

so i realized that all the blood brothers bass tabs for anything off crimes are wrong. i'm trying to learn the songs by ear, and it's killing me.

[CircaEnder]

wow ur from Shelbyville

haha thats awesome man.. its cool when ppl are really close.

[aminorthreat55]

Most recently I learned Refused-"Summerholidays vs. Punkroutine" on guitar. A million times easier than I expected. Not sure what I'll do next.

Also, I learned Coldplay "Speed Of Sound" on piano because I was bored. Also easy as hell.

[A picasso blue]

i've been focusing more on writing..so mostly my own stuff

but as for bands, usually:
Coheed & Cambria- Faint of Hearts
Incubus- Sick sad little World
red hot chili peppers- I could've lied

i've only been playing since November 2003, but i figured i'd torture myself by trying to pulloff some Mars Volta songs. if anyone here is trying also, know that omar is amazing but a bitch when you're trying to learn his stuff. "Eriatarka" off Deloused is the most amazing thing i know of. look at the tabs and u'll see how hard it is to put that tab into action and play it as a band

[AsMemoriesFade]

I've just started playing B.Y.O.B , System of a Down...pretty fast paced song and really fun to play.

[we are cured]

cassandra gemini - the mars volta
whipping post - the allman brothers band

[A picasso blue]

cassandra gemini - the mars volta
whipping post - the allman brothers band

ur learning 'cassandra'? christ, the whole thing? i would kill to be able to pull that off. i think the hardest part of that entire song is the main verse on track 5, that begins right after the weird voice-recording with "bring me to my knees, read the sharpened lines/all my arm...bled me blind"

[Hilikus]

Fall Out Boy- Nobody Puts baby in the corner

the only Fall Out Boy song i like. The strumming pattern is pretty fuckin difficult.

[sweethypocrisy]

i might learn some stuff off of deja entendu
i know like half that cd...sic transit, quiet things, some of guernica, jaws theme, play crack the sky,okay i believe you..

[AsMemoriesFade]

speaking of "War all the Time" i just learned that a couple of days ago :)

[djUbilla]

Most recently I learned Refused-"Summerholidays vs. Punkroutine" on guitar. A million times easier than I expected. Not sure what I'll do next.

Also, I learned Coldplay "Speed Of Sound" on piano because I was bored. Also easy as hell.
That refused song kicks ass, dude.

Oh yeah, I tried to learn some Coldplay and Mae the other day...too bad I don't really know piano, haha. I got the first part of number 2 on Mae's new one, though. Pretty psyched about that one.

[Chuck Vermette]

Eva Cassidy's Autumn leaves. Really beautiful performance...

[ArTkY_]

I just learned Freak Gasoline Fight Accident by It Dies Today.

I play on learning My Promise by them now.

[xmicandmoshpitx]

what are some fun, easy songs to learn on bass?

[AWilhelmPetter]

All songs on Ruiner

[ArTkY_]

A Threnody For Modern Romance

[sunpoison]

Eva Cassidy's Autumn leaves. Really beautiful performance...
Wait, how does that go? Is it sort of jazz-y or are you talking about a different 'Autumn Leaves'? Because my dad is a jazz guitarist and he plays this song called 'Autumn Leaves' all the time.

I just got done learning Mae's 'Sun (Live)' on the piano. Pretty stuff.
