What song are you currently learning?

Me, Im currently learning Eulodiamonia Overture by Paul Gilbert, but I doubt i can finnish it.. haha.

altitudes by jason becker....then serrana...then fuzz universe lol

Altitudes is pretty cool, i never listened to fuzz universe.

paul gilbert fuzz universe lmao.

IM learning....no songs.
just writing atm...

Writing a lot of my own material too Gshred \m/

I've been learning a lot of easy songs-

W.A.S.P-Wild Child
Anthrax-Got the Time
Dio-Holy Diver
Accept-Balls To The Wall
AC/DC-Shot Down in Flames

They're actually more fun to play than some Megadeth tunes.

Creativity is funner than playing covers imo.

ftw i wouldnt consider holy diver easy lol,the solo anyway XP

\m/[*-*]
GS2112

Me too, but I sort of had to learn those song, since playing covers with a band beats the hell out of bedroom jamming haha

I just have to get the original band thing figured out now XD

ah yes bedroom shredding is bleak. But it made many.
look at jeff loomis.
covers are fine, i just dont have patience enough too
learn em.

i know three songs.
nirvana about a girl
janes addiction,jane says
buckethead jordan.

Yea, i know Paul gilbert plays for fuzz, i just dont listen to them.

Last song I learned was "Sunshower" by Chris Cornell. Pretty good tune. Haven't had a chance to play in like 1.5 weeks unfortunately.

I'm learning raindrops keep falling on my head by burt bacharach.

Yea, i just checked out the song Olympic by Fuzz Universe. Suddenly a huge fan.

its making me lol.



olympic has some beastly arpeggios. love that song...love the whole cd

Yes it is. But how do you gain that creativity? Some of the best guitar players do covers of songs they learned when their mind was most vulnerable.

I'm learning an arrangement of "Someone Like You" by Adele, and "Your Song" by Elton John/Ellie Goulding.

Learning covers of songs you like will often lead to a new idea that stems from something other than your own signature riffs, and you learn a song you always wanted to learn. Win win

Yeah, covers or not, good playing is good playing, period.

+1

I'm learning "Mess Around" by Myself

The song is improvised. It begins with the picking up of a guitar and ends with it being put down. Anything in-between is unpredictable.

+1 bajillion

It's my new currency mark.

Personally I like to write more than learn covers, since I have more fun putting together lyrics with riffs or trying to come up with the riffs, however, learning covers is a good way to bring in a different perspective to your songwriting, sort of like having someone else's view added to your repertoire(best word I could come up with)when it comes to writing. It's nice to have a different perspective on riffing, since I feel that some signature sounds can get stale after a while.

I learned Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds for my daughter Lucy. She loves it! I have a video of her singing it while I play that I'll have to post.

Even if you don't learn the full song, how can you hear a great lick or riff and NOT try to learn it???

I'm learning how to play again lol. I've been just hanging out and partying too much, and between that, school, and work, I've only been picking up my guitar about once or twice a week. I'm trying to play every night again though, I miss it. So yeah, just getting the feeling back. That old saying "If you don't use it, you'll lose it.", that's completely true. I've had to basically re-teach myself technique the last week or so and its still taking time to come back around. Kinda sucks, but its also fun feeling like I'm learning again. (:

Learning the song "Lifer" by Down. It's pretty awesome. I spent so much time working on studying some jazz guitar (although I had a long layoff due to time constraints) that I feel the need to learn some other music and work on some stuff. I know it's pathetic to have been on this forum for so long, but my palm muting blows. lol It's coming along though. Maybe I will post a cover of the song when I learn it completely.

@ozzfan I completely did the same thing.
