alright you guitar playing escapists, i was having trouble thinking of a good song to learn on guitar and thought to myself "why cant there just be a list of good licks somewhere instead of having to crawl through my itunes"

instead of googling it like any sane man would've, i came here.

so please escapists, inspire me

i guess i should put down some things i've learnt aswell

5th caprice - jason becker
plug in baby - muse
laid to rest - lamb of god
hessian peel - opeth
handlebars - flobots
TETRIS
rose of may - FFIX ost
place ill return someday - FFIX ost
raining blood - slayer
bombtrack - rage against the machine

and thats all i can think of right now. i rarely learn the entire song (i have the attention span of pasta) i usually take the main melody or something

your turn

Well, if you were beginning, I would say Smoke on the Water or Iron Man.

Right now, I have no idea.
Just go for songs you like to listen to.
It feels so much better when you can play them.

If you really want something that doesn't take much to learn, I'd go with Float On by Modest Mouse.

The Pink Floyd discography is an encyclopedia of tasteful phrasing, and it's quite easy to play.

Haha, I dont think my fingers can do that.
Disappointing really. Been playing the guitar for years and I know that Im going to have major problems later on seeing as my fingers are like retarded and dont bend or move correctly. XD

Death songs are really fun to play on guitar, pretty fast, but not impossible by any measure, it will make you LOVE the band Death though, once you start playing some of Chucks songs, the genius shines through.

Flattening of Emotions
Lack of Comprehension
Trapped in a corner

All very fun to play

I can play Tetris and Happy birthday on my bass. Deadly when merged.

Does that count, or am I not speculated as a guitarist?

If you want a challenge:
"Mr. Crowley" by Ozzy Osbourne.

If you want to give yourself carpal-tunnel syndrome and flay the flesh from your fingers:
"Goofy Goober Rock" by Spongebob And The Hi-Seas.

"Thunderhorse" by dethklok is fairly easy to learn and sounds cool when you play it. I learned that like, 2 years ago and i still like to play it.

Play "Destructor" by Aura Noir, or something by Wintersun.

...Seriously, play the Clock Town theme from Majora's Mask. It's fun and really simple to learn (I learned it in about 10 minutes).

I mean, not even Herman Li can play that in real life.
Yeah, they should write songs that they can actaully play live, instead of just splicing together a bunch of clips until it forms a riff. Oh and it would help if they didn't come on to stage drunk.

OT: Eternal Wait by Ensiferum is an epic song, the guitar is awesome.
