FAO: Guitarists - first and last song(s) you learnt.

that's why you get a nice collection of sub-$100 pawn shop special guitars to keep in random tunings around the jam room heheh.

Oh! you need open C7? that's the blue guitar haha
 
tuning in general is ;)

but yeah, i actually like this tuning for my acoustic because at it's original E, the action was always too high and i could barely get up to the 7th fret with chorRAB. now it's alot more comfortable, and i think i'll stay with it for a while, you know?
 
I'm not saying I don't make an effort to learn some songs here and there but even when I explore new styles in my playing/writing, I attempt at it by making my own discoveries and make my own interpretations of the style. Not necessarily but learning songs of a certain genre. I admit it does increase the technical aspect of playing though.
 
TRUTH!!!!



well i never took any psych classes of the like either before this. honestly though, i've always liked trying to understand why people act certain ways, both in groups as well as one on one, since i could remeraber. so when i talked to my advisor and she asked me what i wanted to switch to, i immediately thought of that.
 
First song I learned was a simple version of Jimi Hendrix's version of the Star Spangled Banner. I just learned For Whom the Bell Tolls. On bass, I learned Crazy Train.
 
I think I know what you mean.

What've you been doing with yourself lately? I don't think I've noticed you around posting much recently. What could you be doing that's more constructive than posting on an internet forum..
 
I'm a big beliver in the band/individual with the biggest record collection writes the best music. Not by ripping it off, just by own interpretations like you say. I remeraber learning that Chillies step up, it can be applied in other songs but expanded on. That's what I love about gaytar, no limitations. :D

EDIT: rab, filtering the word gay. Like it's a bad thing? How homophobic of you.
 
The first song I ever learnt on guitar was some crappy Joan Jett song which involved about 3 different power chorRAB, I must've been about 15.

I don't know the last song I learnt, I haven't played for ages, and when I do, it's originals for my band.
 
i always saw the tuning for that one as a half step down AND dropped D in magazines.

while there are obviously other versions out there tabbed out to dropped D, if you're using the track to gauge your tuning by harmonizing to the recording there's a good chance you're going a half step too low.
 
I can remeraber youtubing How To Play Come As You Are by Nirvana the day I got my guitar since I heard it was easy.

Although I've never been a big Greenday fan next song I leanred was this:

well school and a band for one thing :laughing:

but yeah, i've actually switched majors this semester from architecture to psychology, so with alot of the extra time i was getting i was using to do other things, like hanging out with frienRAB, a bit of reading here and there, and just getting back to guitar. that as well as a good amount of homework to keep me busy.

anyway, i'd like to keep talking, but i have class in the morning and i have to get up in a few hours, so until tommorow i guess.
 
First attempt was Under the Bridge by the Peppers, realized it was far too difficult, and moved on to the classic Iron Man riff.

I honestly can't remeraber the last song I learned since I mostly just jam to myself now, but it was probably a Rush song. I learned a lot from Alex Lifeson's style, and I still play Rush to warm myself up. It was probably the Trees.
 
Psychology you say, how's that working out for you? I hate uni (American terms.. school past the age of 18 :laughing: or 21? whatever it is over there I dunno :( I keep culture classing with you yanks on here.) Psychology is something I'm actually thinking of doing a degree in, something made me realise that could be my passion in life.. but I've never actually learnt any psychology in a classroom..
 
Just a quick question, are anyone else having troubles with this thread? It stays subscribed even after I click unsubscribe and it always has a new update .. As in it's always there when I press User CP no matter! And 80sfan always has the latest post!

Is it me or the thread? :p:
 
First? Either this folk song called "Bravo" or the easier part to this guitar duet called "Mist". Actual Rock 'N Roll? Uh... This is gonna be so cleshay, but I think it was Smoke On The Water...

Last? Pachelbel's Canon or Crazy Train by Ozzy Ozborne if you don't count the solo (which I'm learning, I know most of it).
