Then you better start liking it not my thing. snort To be successful musician i believe you have to be open to all genres of music.

I was half-joking, half-serious. I just don't enjoy classic rock. It doesn't mean I'm not open minded.

If you can get the hang of Stockholm Syndrome, you can really impress people. Crank up the distortion and just let rip. People would probably be more impressed if you can pull that off than if you can play the main riff to Master of Puppets by Metallica. Fucking insane riff. The others just sound immensely cool, and aren't actually all that hard to master.
Jerry Springer. Addict Age: 16 Gender: Female Posts: 14304	December 15th, 2007 at 11:26am For some reason, I've never been able to get Stockholm Syndrome down properly. I mean, it's not the speed. I've got that down. But it just doesn't sound quite perfect... maybe I should record myself playing. That might help me figure it out. But it's a brilliant riff, nonetheless.
Jay Tee Post Whore Age: 19 Gender: Male Posts: 21230	December 16th, 2007 at 12:19am Are you playing it in Drop D? It is rather tricky, though. Lots of fast tapping and pull offs and stuff on the lowest string.
Jerry Springer. Addict Age: 16 Gender: Female Posts: 14304	December 16th, 2007 at 08:32am Yes. I've talked to a couple of other guitar players, and they said the had the same problem. I understand how I'm supposed to play it, and I can do it, but... I dunno, the rhythm just seems ever so slightly off.
Jay Tee Post Whore Age: 19 Gender: Male Posts: 21230	December 17th, 2007 at 10:27pm Yeah I think its just ever so slightly off-beat. Maybe even in a different time signature to the standard.
Jerry Springer. Addict Age: 16 Gender: Female Posts: 14304	December 18th, 2007 at 07:08am Yeah, that would probably be it. Damn that Bellamy.
Meski Addict Age: 15 Gender: Male Posts: 14801	December 19th, 2007 at 10:34pm Matt Bellamy: Yeah, that would probably be it. Damn that Bellamy. He is an extremely talented gutarist though.
Jerry Springer. Addict Age: 16 Gender: Female Posts: 14304	December 20th, 2007 at 06:41am I meant it more in a "damn that Bellamy for being an incredible musician and writing riffs that are terribly hard to copy perfectly" He's brilliant all around, tbh.

Meski Addict Age: 15 Gender: Male Posts: 14801	January 11th, 2008 at 02:13pm One - Metallica is pretty good, the beggining though.
Jay Tee Post Whore Age: 19 Gender: Male Posts: 21230	January 18th, 2008 at 01:15am Monkey Wrench by Foo Fighters is easy but fucking great fun to play.
StarFish. Addict Age: 17 Gender: Female Posts: 11629	July 26th, 2008 at 03:37pm Whiskey In The Jar. Fun to play,even though I like Thin Lizzy version more than Metallica. The Passenger by Iggy Pop is also quite easy to start with. By The Way by RHCP is also one of my favourite songs to play. It has that tricky part though but you can learn it quickly. Then there's Knocking On Heaven's Door and Sweet Home Alabama by Guns n Roses. I agree it's always good to know some classic rock songs.

Mareh. King For A Couple Of Days Age: 16 Gender: Female Posts: 2186	September 11th, 2008 at 01:08pm Holiday is a fun song if you're able to manage the sorta complex chord changes at the beginning.
