In about 4 or 5 months, I'll be applying for a music secondary school in the city. It seems pretty nice, and I think I might fit in there. I've got decent grades in school, but most of the influence in the admission points comes from a music test they do when you apply. First, they test how good you play with others and how fast you can learn simple songs. Then you'll be asked to play a song of choice. Then they ask you how long you've played, what you're ambitions are, etc, just to get the idea of how well you will succeed in the business.
So here's the deal, I need a few recommendations on songs to play on the test. I have some songs that I'm thinking about playing. Most is some John 5, cause he's got the most impressive solos that I know of, and still can learn. I don't think the judges are like those old people who dismiss anything that's too noisy (I'm of course speaking of metal), so anything's good. Here are some songs I'm thinking about playing if I learn them correctly (I've got 4 months of practice to use), it's on about my skill level:
Sorry for all the John 5, but he is the artist that I learn music from the most, as my skill level is finally coming close to most of his songs.
EDIT: For guitar information, I play a Les Paul Standard, so I can't play anything that goes over the 22nd fret.
EDIT part 2: Oh, I forgot. There's one John 5 solo that I haven't mentioned. My personal favourite. I can play roughly the first minute, although the slide tapping section is probably way out of my league.
