Elysian Shadows

I'm learning these new songs:

Goldfinger - 99 Red Balloons [can play, but not fast enough yet. The intro chords are hard to hold correctly. I think I should be able to play it perfectly soon]
Donkey Kong Country Theme [can play, but haven't fully memorized yet]
Sonic 2 - Bosstheme [can play perfectly]
Under The Bridge - Chilli Pepperz
Random other video game music ((kewl site I found has shitloads of game tabs, and most are very accurate))
blink 182- What's my Age again
The Kinks - Lola

Yeah, there are TONS of tabs that I just random play for practice, but these are songs I'm currently working on actually learning all the way through--I have a tendency to look up random songs, play half way through them, then start learning a new one.

BTW, the reason I'm learning so many blink songs is cuz' they're easy, and semi-popular, and somewhat catchy. So when I pick up a guitar at some random place and start playing, someone there usually recognizes it.


Songs I can already play perfectly:
Blink 182 - Dammit
Blink 182 - Stay Together for the Kids
Greenday - American idiot [haven't tried to play along w/ music yet]
ACDC - TNT [not 100% sure of my tabs though--Haven't tried playing along with song yet]
AFI - God Called in Sick Today [I need to look at the tabs as I play, I only memorized the first 2 pages]

and there's a ton more I forgot to mention, but I'll post as I think about it.

As for the guitar lessons, I admit I haven't been doing a whole hell of a lot lately--Mostly random tabs. This is because I totally and utterly fucked up my computer, and i don't like lugging my guitar and amp all the way downstairs to use my moms ((which has the software))

Once I get the goddamned Xcopy command in the prompt working correctly, I'll fix my computer, but I don't have fucking time.

I'm sick of getting tabs online. They're always fucking wrong.

Drum tabs are even harder to find ='[

Amen. There's only one site I trust now, and that's because the tabs go by what they play in music vids.

Oh, you dont like musicians with real talent. Thats cool, you can not like them all you want, but don't say that the POS from the string cheese incident is better or the overrated fleabag from RHCP. The best bassist Ive ever seen is Victor Wooten

The guy playing guitar isnt the best, but Victor most def owns anybody.


Sorry, I had to flame that fuck-ing queer. If you guys have any songs you want me to tab out for you let me know, I have been playing since before I can remember and I have ears of steel. And whoever was wondering about drum tabs, I wouldnt rely on any at all, you just have to figure it out yourself, but maybe that is also easier for me since ive been a percussionist for a while as well, but there is not real way i can help you with drums unless i meet you in person or you get guitar pro

It's all about Zeppelin.

Zeppelin was pretty big, and they have some catchy tunes and of course stairway, but there isnt really much talent there, sorry gyro lol

And crazy 20 min solos that scale the fretboard faster than you can blink isn't talent?

Talent and what you like to hear isn't always the same thing...

Amen.

As for tabbing...I really do think I could think of some tabs I'd like. Seriously. So if you really mean that...That'd be AWESOME.

Metal wouldn't exist without Zeppelin, and if it did, I'm pretty sure it would suck.

That's like me saying that the Beatles or Elvis Presley had no talent. I'm not into Elvis, but he was definitely a very talented man.

To tell the truth, I have never liked Zeppelin either. I Just don't like them. But, they were talented.

Yeah, it's just a taste in music or style. I can think of alot of shit that I just never really liked. I'm not a huge Hendrix or Stevie Ray fan, but it would be crazy for me to call them untalented.

Damn, I love Hendrix. What about the doors?

The doors rock nuts; from what I've heard of them, that is.
